+	    <p>The functions in the '<c>file</c>' module that take a
+	    list of paths (e.g. <c>file:path_consult/2</c>) will now
+	    continue to search in the path if the path contains
+	    something that is not a directory.</p>

+	    <p>Two OTP processes that are known to receive many
+	    messages are 'rex' (used by 'rpc') and 'error_logger'.
+	    Those processes will now store unprocessed messages
+	    outside the process heap, which will potentially decrease
+	    the cost of garbage collections.</p>
