+	    Remove generation of atoms in old latin1 external format
+	    in the distribution between erlang nodes,
+	    <c>erl_interface</c>, and <c>jinterface</c>. The new utf8
+	    format for atoms was introduced in OTP R16. An OTP 20
+	    node can therefore not connect to nodes older than R16.</p>
+          <p>
+	    Atoms that can be encoded using latin1 are still encoded
+	    by <c>term_to_binary()</c> using latin1 encoding. Note
+	    that all atoms will by default be encoded using utf8 in a
+	    future Erlang/OTP release. For more information see the
+	    documentation of <seealso
+	    marker="erts:erlang#term_to_binary/2"><c>erlang:term_to_binary/2</c></seealso>.</p>
