<p>
Makefiles in erts, hipe and tools have been corrected to
enable parallel make, i.e MAKEFLAGS=-jX where X is the
parallelity number. As a result of this dependencies were
corrected since that is what is needed for parallel make
to work.</p>

[cover] fix leftover {'DOWN', ..} msg in callers queue</p>
<p>
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</p>

Add deps as erlang-flymake include directory.</p>
<p>
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)</p>

<p>Variables are now now allowed in '<c>fun M:F/A</c>' as
suggested by Richard O'Keefe in EEP-23.</p>
<p>The representation of '<c>fun M:F/A</c>' 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 <c>syntax_tools</c> application can also handle both
formats.</p>

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

<p>
Teach the emacs mode to compile yecc and leex files</p>
<p>
If visiting a .yrl or .xrl file in emacs with
erlang-mode, then the `erlang-compile' function (normally
bound to C-c C-k), now knows how to compile yecc and leex
files, and then, if that compilation succeeds, also
compiles the resulting .erl files.</p>
<p>
Also introduce a `erlang-compile-command-function-alist'
to make it possible to hook in other functions for
computing compilation commands/expressions, depending on
file name. (Thanks to Tomas Abrahamsson )</p>

<p>
Change make:files to behave more like erlc</p>
<p>
This change removes the unnecessary checks on the files
when make:files is called and allows the error checking
to be done in compile:file, where the error messages are
produced. It does not affect the return value.</p>
<p>

<item>
<p>
add user specified compiler options on form reloading</p>
<p>
In order to be able to test non-exported functions from
another (test) module it is necessary to compile the
specific module (at least during the test phase) with the
export_all compiler option. This allows complete
separation of testing and productive code. At the moment
it is not possible to combine this with a test code
coverage using the cover module. The problem is that when
cover compiling a module using cover:compile_* the code
is reloaded into the emulator omitting/filtering the
passed user options. In my example above the export_all
option would be removed and the non-exported functions
cannot be called any more. (Thanks to Tobias Schlager)</p>

<item>
<p>
Inhibit electric newline after "->" when inside a type
spec</p>
<p>
The Erlang mode for Emacs inserts a newline after every
"->", which saves you one keystroke when writing a
function, but that is inappropriate when writing a type
spec, as you'd normally keep the spec on one line. This
change inhibits the automatic insertion when the current
line starts with "-spec" or "-type".(Thanks to Magnus
Henoch)</p>

<p>
Add a check logic to prevent file descriptor leak</p>
<p>
cover module handle files as raw in export and import.
Assert counts of ports are the same at the beginning and
at the end of the test case.(Thanks to Shunichi
Shinohara)</p>

<p>
Declare indentation options as "safe" in erlang-mode for
Emacs</p>
<p>
Emacs has a facility for setting options on a per-file
basis based on comments in the source file. By default,
all options are considered "unsafe", and the user is
queried before the variable is set. This patch declares
the variables erlang-indent-level, erlang-indent-guard
and erlang-argument-indent to be safe, if the value
specified in the source file is valid.</p>
<p>
Such declarations usually look like this:</p>
<p>
%% -*- erlang-indent-level: 2 -*-</p>
<p>
and appear on the first line of the file. (thanks to
Magnus Henoch)</p>

<p>
Cover has been improved to take less memory and allow
parallel analysis of cover data. Data collection from
nodes is now done in parallel and it is now possible to
issue multiple analyse and analyse_to_file requests at
the same time. A new function call async_analyse_to_file
has also been introduced, see the documentation for more
details.</p>

<p><c>eprof</c> has been reimplemented with support in
the Erlang virtual machine and is now both faster (i.e.
slows down the code being measured less) and scales much
better. In measurements we saw speed-ups compared to the
old eprof ranging from 6 times (for sequential code that
only uses one scheduler/core) up to 84 times (for
parallel code that uses 8 cores).</p>
<p>Note: The API for the <c>eprof</c> has been cleaned up
and extended. See the documentation.</p>

Add lock profiling tool.</p>
<p>
The Lock profiling tool, lcnt, can make use of the
internal lock statistics when the runtime system is built
with this feature enabled.</p>
<p>
This provides a mechanism to examine potential lock
bottlenecks within the runtime itself.</p>
<p>
- Add erts_debug:lock_counters({copy_save, bool()}). This
option enables or disables statistics saving for
destroyed processes and ets-tables. Enabling this might
consume a lot of memory.</p>
<p>
- Add id-numbering for lock classes which is otherwise
undefined.</p>

<p>The coverage analysis tool <c>cover</c> has been
improved when it comes to handling list and bit string
comprehensions (a counter for each qualifier), bit syntax
expressions (the Value and Size expressions), and try
expressions (the body called <c>Exprs</c> in the Reference
Manual). A few (not all) situations where several
expressions are put on the same line are also handled
better than before.</p>

<p>When specifying a file name including the <c>.erl</c>

<p><c>cover</c>: When <c>cover:stop()</c> was called,
the cover compiled code was not unloaded (as stated in
the documentation) but simply marked as 'old'. This
meant that processes lingering in (or with funs
referencing to) the cover compiled code would survive
even when the cover server and its ETS tables was
terminated.</p>
<p>Now the cover compiled code is unloaded, meaning that
processes lingering in/with references to it will be
killed when <c>cover:stop</c> is called, instead of
later crashing with <c>badarg</c> when trying to bump
counters in ETS tables no longer existing.</p>
