+	    In order to improve performance of the cover tool, new
+	    functions are added for cover compilation and analysis on
+	    multiple files. This allows for more parallelisation.</p>
+          <p>
+	    Some improvements of the data base access is also done in
+	    order to improve the performance when analysing and
+	    resetting cover data.</p>
+          <p>
+	    Minor incompatibility: An error reason from
+	    analyse_to_file is changed from no_source_code_found to
+	    {no_source_code_found,Module}.</p>
+          <p>

+	    Allow maps for supervisor flags and child specs</p>
+          <p>
+	    Earlier, supervisor flags and child specs were given as
+	    tuples. While this is kept for backwards compatibility,
+	    it is now also allowed to give these parameters as maps,
+	    see <seealso
+	    marker="stdlib:supervisor#sup_flags">sup_flags</seealso>
+	    and <seealso
+	    marker="stdlib:supervisor#child_spec">child_spec</seealso>.</p>
