Instead, they mark the dependencies which are going to be automatically compiled next time `deps.check` is invoked (which is done automatically by most mix tasks). This means users should have a better workflow when migrating in between environments

* Deprecations
  * [Kernel] `//` for default arguments is deprecated in favor of `\\`
  * [Kernel] Using `%` for sigils is deprecated in favor of `~`. This is a soft deprecation, no warnings will be emitted for it in this release

  * [Kernel] Limit sigils delimiters to one of the following: `<>`, `{}`, `[]`, `()`, `||`, `//`, `"` and `'`

  * [Set] Implementations of `difference/2`, `disjoint?/2`, `equal?/2`, `intersection/2`, `subset?/2` and `union/2` in `HashSet` are no longer polymorphic. To get polymorphism, use the functions in `Set` instead

* Backwards incompatible changes
  * [GenFSM] GenServer now stops on unknown event/sync_event requests

  * [Mix] Umbrella apps now treat children apps as dependencies. This means all dependencies will be checked out in the umbrela `deps` directory. On upgrade, child apps need to point to the umbrella project by setting `deps_path: "../../deps_path", lockfile: "../../mix.lock"` in their project config
  * [Process] `Process.group_leader/2` args have been reversed so the "subject" comes first

  * [Kernel] Introduce operator `=~` for regular expression matches
  * [Kernel] Compiled docs now include the function signature
