+	    Remove generation of atoms in old latin1 external format.
+	    The old latin1 format can still be decoded but is never
+	    generated by <c>term_to_binary</c> or sent on a
+	    distribution channel. 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>
