Some general notes and notes about changes since the last prereleases:
- Most of Per Bergqvist's patch to remove warnings has been applied.
- Use of the atom `try' will generate compiler warnings in
preparation for add the try/catch construct in R9.
- The problem reaching the Unix man pages for 'sofs' and 'xref' with
"erl -man <module-name>" has been fixed.
- You can find a comparison of the speed for some constructs
between R7 and R8 (lower numbers are better) in
http://www.ericsson.com/cslab/~bjorn/benchmarks2/
- There is some new documentation, one short "Some hints that may
get you started faster" at the first page for those new to
Erlang/OTP and one "Efficiency Guide" in the system documentation
section
