There was once a plan to implement support for unicode atoms in OTP 18. This plan has been stopped until further notice, and the information about this is now removed from the documentation.

2014-10-20[sasl] Remove undocumented upgrade instructionSiri Hansen
The upgrade instruction 'remove_module' was added in OTP R7B (and possibly in a patch in R5B or R6B, ticket OTP-3477), and translates to the low level instruction 'remove', but adds the parameter DepMods (modules on which Mod is dependent). The ticket says that "remove_module should be added for symmetry with the add_module instruction". remove_module was never documented or tested, and it was never mentioned in a release note. It therefore seems to be low risk in removing it. The correct instruction to use when removing a module is {delete_module,Mod} which was added in OTP R10B and which is also documented and tested. This translates to low level instructions 'remove' and 'purge' i.e. the module is brutally purged after setting the current code to old. This hardcoded brutal purge is the reason why PrePurge and PostPurge parameters can not be given with the delete_module instruction. The parameter DepMods which was inclued in the remove_module instruction does not exist for delete_module. From the documentation's point of view, this is the same for add_module, and thus the two instructions {add_module,Mod} and {delete_module,Mod} are now symmetric. However, in the code there is a second instruction for adding a module, {add_module,Mod,DepMods}, which is not documented. To add symmetry even for this, {delete_module,Mod,DepMods} is now also added. Documentation is added for all instructions.

that could invalidate a pointer received from an earlier call to enif_inspect_binary. Solution: Emasculate writable binary at enif_inspect_binary. There are room for optimizations here as we now do an unconditional emasculation even though enif_make_copy is not called later in the NIF.

2014-04-26Remove the pg module and related documentationLoïc Hoguin
This module has been marked experimental for more than 15 years, and has largely been superseded by the pg2 module from the kernel application. The original pg also has no tests and has not been updated in the last 15 years other than small maintenance edits (like adding specs or replacing pid/1 by is_pid/1). It is pretty unlikely that anyone uses it today and its presence is simply confusing as people should be using pg2 anyway.

The example of how to create a first target system, which is located in the System Principles document, is now extended to also include an example of code upgrade. A new chapter is added to System Principles explaining different issues when upgrade includes new versions applications within Erlang/OTP.
