+ [cover] fix leftover {'DOWN', ..} msg in callers queue

+

+ After stopping cover with cover:stop() there could still + be a {'DOWN',...} leftover message in the calling + process's message queue. This unexpected leftover could + be eliminated if erlang:demonitor/2 with option flush + would be used in certain points

+ Add deps as erlang-flymake include directory.

+

+ Update erlang-flymake to recognize the "deps" folder as + an include directory. This makes erlang-flymake + compatible with the rebar dependency management tool's + default folder structure, which puts included + dependencies in "deps".(Thanks to Kevin Albrecht)

Improvements and New Features + + +

Variables are now now allowed in 'fun M:F/A' as + suggested by Richard O'Keefe in EEP-23.

+

The representation of 'fun M:F/A' in the + abstract format has been changed in an incompatible way. + Tools that directly read or manipulate the abstract + format (such as parse transforms) may need to be updated. + The compiler can handle both the new and the old format + (i.e. extracting the abstract format from a pre-R15 BEAM + file and compiling it using compile:forms/1,2 will work). + The syntax_tools application can also handle both + formats.

+

+ *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

+
+ +

+ Tuple funs (a two-element tuple with a module name and a + function) are now officially deprecated and will be + removed in R16. Use 'fun M:F/A' 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.
