+	    Fix evaluation in matching of bound map key variables in
+	    the interpreter.</p>
+          <p>
+	    Prior to this patch, the following code would not
+	    evaluate: <c>X = key,(fun(#{X := value}) -&gt; true
+	    end)(#{X => value})</c></p>

+	    <p> The Erlang Code Linter no longer crashes if there is
+	    a <c>-deprecated()</c> attribute but no <c>-module()</c>
+	    declaration. </p>

+	    The timestamp in the result returned by <c>dets:info(Tab,
+	    safe_fixed)</c> was unintentionally broken as a result of
+	    the time API rewrites in OTP 18.0. This has now been
+	    fixed.</p>

+	    Time warp safety improvements.</p>
+          <p>
+	    Introduced the options <c>monotonic_timestamp</c>, and
+	    <c>strict_monotonic_timestamp</c> to the trace,
+	    sequential trace, and system profile functionality. This
+	    since the already existing <c>timestamp</c> option is not
+	    time warp safe.</p>
+          <p>
+	    Introduced the option <c>safe_fixed_monotonic_time</c> to
+	    <c>ets:info/2</c> and <c>dets:info/2</c>. This since the
+	    already existing <c>safe_fixed</c> option is not time
+	    warp safe.</p>
