2012-09-13	Don't allow {Mod,Vsn} in modules list in .app file	Siri Hansen
	It was possible to insert {Mod::atom(),Vsn::term()} instead of Mod::atom() in the modules list in a .app file. This was not visible in the documentation of .app files, but it was visible in the documentation of application:load/[1,2] (where the .app file term can be used directly as first argument). The Vsn part was never used, so this possibility has now been removed.
2011-11-17	Distinguish restart_new_emulator from restart_emulator in upgrade instructions	Siri Hansen
	Earlier, there was only one valid instruction to restart the emulator in an appup/relup script, 'restart_new_emulator'. A new instuction, 'restart_emulator', is now added, and the meaning is as follows: 'restart_new_emulator' is mainly for the core applications (erts, kernel, stdlib and sasl), and it indicates that there is new core functionality in the release and the emulator needs to be restarted before executing the upgrade scripts. If this instruction exists, a temporary release will be created which consists of the new version erts, kernel, stdlib and sasl, and the old versions of all other applications. After restarting the emulator with this temporary release, the rest of the upgrade instructions are executed, including loading of new versions. 'restart_emulator' can be used by any application if a restart of the emulator is needed after the upgrade instructions have been executed. In this case, the emulator will be restarted with the new release (i.e. not a tempoarary one) after all other upgrade instructions for all applications have been excecuted.
2011-11-17	Allow regexp for version in .appup	Siri Hansen
	In order to avoid duplication of upgrade instructions in .appup files, we now allow regular expressions to specify the UpFrom and DownTo versions. To be considered a regular expression, the version identifier must be specified as a binary, e.g. <<"2\\.1\\.[0-9]+">> will match versions 2.1.x, where x is any number.
