+ Replace size/1 with either tuple_size/1 or byte_size/1</p>
+ <p>
+ The <c>size/1</c> BIF is not optimized by the JIT, and
+ its use can result in worse types for Dialyzer.</p>
+ <p>
+ When one knows that the value being tested must be a
+ tuple, <c>tuple_size/1</c> should always be preferred.</p>
+ <p>
+ When one knows that the value being tested must be a
+ binary, <c>byte_size/1</c> should be preferred. However,
+ <c>byte_size/1</c> also accepts a bitstring (rounding up
+ size to a whole number of bytes), so one must make sure
+ that the call to <c>byte_size/</c> is preceded by a call
+ to <c>is_binary/1</c> to ensure that bitstrings are
+ rejected. Note that the compiler removes redundant calls
+ to <c>is_binary/1</c>, so if one is not sure whether
+ previous code had made sure that the argument is a
+ binary, it does not harm to add an <c>is_binary/1</c>
+ test immediately before the call to <c>byte_size/1</c>.</p>

+ <p>There is a new configure option,
+ <c>--enable-deterministic-build</c>, which will apply the
+ <c>deterministic</c> compiler option when building
+ Erlang/OTP. The <c>deterministic</c> option has been
+ improved to eliminate more sources of non-determinism in
+ several applications.</p>
