The most important "readme" files now use Markdown notation. HTML
versions of these files are now also automatically generated and
included in the HTML documentation.
- Building and Installing Erlang/OTP - $ERL_TOP/INSTALL.md
(previously known as $ERL_TOP/README).
- Cross Compiling Erlang/OTP - $ERL_TOP/INSTALL-CROSS.md.
- How to Build Erlang/OTP on Windows - $ERL_TOP/INSTALL-WIN32.md
(previously known as $ERL_TOP/README.win32).

environment after a number of bugs are fixed and some features
are added in the documentation build process.
- The arity calculation is updated.
- The module prefix used in the function names for bif's are
removed in the generated links so the links will look like
"http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#append_element-2"
instead of
"http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#erlang:append_element-
2".
- Enhanced the menu positioning in the html documentation when a
new page is loaded.
- A number of corrections in the generation of man pages (thanks
to Sergei Golovan)
- The legal notice is taken from the xml book file so OTP's build
process can be used for non OTP applications.

An on_load function is supposed to return 'true' to indicate
that the module should be loaded, and 'false' if it should be
unloaded. But returning any other term, as well as causing an
exception, will also unload the module.
Since we don't like boolean values mixed with other values,
change the expected return value as follows:
* If 'ok' is returned, the module will remain loaded and become
callable.
* If any other value is returned (or an exception is generated),
the module will be unloaded. Also, if the returned value is
not an atom, send a warning message to the error_logger
(using error_logger:warning_msg/2).
The new interpretation of the return value means that an on_load
function can now directly return the return value from
erlang:load_nif/2.

NIF function prototypes in order to allow more than 3 function
arguments. Also an incompatible change in the return value of
erlang:load_nif/2. Added support for references, floats and term
comparison in NIFs. Read more in the documentation of erl_nif and
erlang:load_nif/2.

In the transition from SGML to XML (several releases ago),
bugs were introduced in the documentation, for instance
"\n" replaced by newlines. Correct those bugs.
Also correct double backslashes. They seem to have been introduced very
early in the development of OTP. According to Lars they "solved" a bug
in the generation of HTML &c. Now that standard tools are used instead
of docbuilder, the bug has become visible.
