          <p>
	    The <c>re:grep/1</c> function now uses the '<c>re</c>'
	    module instead of the deprecated '<c>regexp</c>' module.
	    There are new functions <c>rb:filter/1</c> and
	    <c>rb:filter/2</c> for easier filtering of reports.
	    (Thanks to Alvaro Videla.)</p>

	    There is new function <c>sasl_report:format_report/3</c>
	    that works like the existing
	    <c>sasl_report:write_report/3</c> function except that it
	    returns a formatted string. Note that there is currently
	    no documentation for the <c>sasl_report</c> module.

    <section>
      <title>Improvements and New Features</title>
      <list type="bulleted">
        <item>
          <p>Added an option <c>{outdir,Dir}</c> to the functions in

            directory a boot script, relup file or release package
            file should be placed.</p>
          <p>Also, when using <c>systools:make_tar/2</c> to create a
            release package file, the boot script, relup file and
            <c>sys.config</c> are now searched for also in the current
            working directory and any directory specified by
            the <c>path</c> option, not only in the directory of

                <c>RelName</c> argument which includes a path.
                Previously this would cause the <c>.rel</c> file to end
                up in the wrong directory in the resulting tar file.</p>

            <item>
              <p>A documentation error for <c>systools:make_tar/1,2</c>:
