Erlang scripts don't need to be compiled and any arguments can be passed to them without risk that they are interpreted by the Erlang system. OTP-6546 Dialyzer (in the modes where either source or BEAM code which contains debug_info is analyzed) spits out line information for all discrepancies. This has been a major change, worth of increasing the version number. We warn users that *considerably* more discrepancies are identified by this version of Dialyzer compared with previous ones and applications. If, for some reason, warnings generated by previous versions of Dialyzer are preferable, the command line option --old_style can be employed. -- Bj?rn Gustavsson, Erlang/OTP, Ericsson AB
