+	    The linked-in driver used for ber decode and per encode
+	    has been replaced with nifs. To enable the usage of nifs
+	    pass the nif option to erlc or asn1rt:compile when
+	    compiling. If you previously used the linked-in driver,
+	    you have to recompile your ASN1 modules with the current
+	    version of asn1 application as the linked-in driver
+	    modules have been removed.</p>

+	    A few of the heavy calculations which are done for
+	    encoding and decoding operations when dealing with
+	    SEQUENCE OF and DEFAULT in runtime have been moved to be
+	    done in compile time instead.</p>

+          <p>
+	    When compiling an ASN.1 ber module with the +nif option,
+	    the module will use a new nif for ber encoding,
+	    increasing performance by about 5%.</p>

+          <p>
+	    Tuple funs (a two-element tuple with a module name and a
+	    function) are now officially deprecated and will be
+	    removed in R16. Use '<c>fun M:F/A</c>' instead. To make
+	    you aware that your system uses tuple funs, the very
+	    first time a tuple fun is applied, a warning will be sent
+	    to the error logger.</p>
