 This release contains all of the bug fixes and improvements made in the 2.10 series, as well as:
 
 * Modularization
-
   * The core Scala standard library jar has shed 20% of its bytecode. The modules for xml, parsing, and swing are available individually or via [scala-library-all](http://search.maven.org/#artifactdetails%7Corg.scala-lang%7Cscala-library-all%7C2.11.0-M8%7Cpom).
-
   * The compiler has been internally modularized, to separate the presentation compiler, scaladoc
       and the REPL. In this release, all of these modules are still packaged in scala-compiler.jar.
       We plan to ship them in separate JARs in 2.12.x.
 * Slimming down
-
   * The experimental .NET backend has been removed from the compiler.
-
   * In Scala 2.10.0, new implementations of the Pattern Matcher and the Bytecode Emitter
       were shipped. We have now removed the old implementations.
-
   * scala-actors is now deprecated; we advise users to follow the steps in the [Actors Migration Guide](http://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/core/actors-migration-guide.html) to port to Akka Actors, which have been included in the distribution since 2.10.0.
-
   * Search and destroy mission for ~5000 chunks of dead code. [#1648](https://github.com/scala/scala/pull/1648/files)
 * Language
-
   * Case classes with > 22 parameters are now supported [SI-7296](https://issues.scala-lang.org/browse/SI-7296)
-
   * Infer bounds of existential types [SI-1786](https://issues.scala-lang.org/browse/SI-1786)
 * REPL
-
   * The bytecode decompiler command, :javap, now works with Java 7 [SI-4936](https://issues.scala-lang.org/browse/SI-4936) and has sprouted new options [SI-6894](https://issues.scala-lang.org/browse/SI-6894) (Thanks, [Andrew Marki](https://github.com/som-snytt)!)
-
   * Added command :kind to help to tell ground types from type constructors. [#2340](https://github.com/scala/scala/pull/2340) (Thanks, [George Leontiev](https://github.com/folone) and [Eugene Yokota](https://github.com/eed3si9n)!)
-
   * The interpreter can now be embedded as a JSR-166 Scripting Engine [SI-874](https://issues.scala-lang.org/browse/SI-874). (Thanks, [Raphael Jolly](https://github.com/rjolly)!)
 * Performance
-
   * Branch elimination through constant analysis [#2214](https://github.com/scala/scala/pull/2214)
-
   * Improve performance of reflection [SI-6638](https://issues.scala-lang.org/browse/SI-6638)
 * Warnings
-
   * Warn about unused private / local terms and types, and unused imports, under `-Xlint`. This will even tell you
       when a local `var` could be a `val`. (We might move these warnings to a separate command line option before
       the final release, your feedback is welcome here.)
