	    Implement --enable-sanitizers[=sanitizers]. Similar to
	    debugging with Valgrind, it's very useful to enable
	    -fsanitize= switches to catch bugs at runtime.</p>

	    Some local implementations of removing the last element
	    from a list are replaced by <c>lists:droplast/1</c>. Note
	    that this requires at least <c>stdlib-2.0</c>, which is
	    the stdlib version delivered in OTP 17.0. (Thanks to Hans
	    Svensson)</p>

	    Application upgrade (appup) files are corrected for the
	    following applications: </p>
          <p>
	    <c>asn1, common_test, compiler, crypto, debugger,

	    OTP.</p>

          <p>
	    The wx application now compiles and is usable with the
	    unstable development branch of wxWidgets-2.9. Some
	    functions are currently not available in wxWidgets-2.9
	    and their erlang counterparts are marked as deprecated.
	    They will generate an error if called when linked against
	    wxWidgets-2.9 libraries. This means that wx can now be
	    built on 64bit MacOsX, but keep in mind that
	    wxWidgets-2.9 is still a development branch and needs (a
	    lot) more work before it becomes stable.</p>

	    release, despite previous comments.</p> <p>Fix an
	    external loop when stopping erlang nicely.</p>
	    <p>Separate OpenGL to it's own dynamic loaded library, so
	    other graphic libraries can reuse the gl module and it
	    will not waste memory if not used.</p>
