Not sure what this issue is about. Maybe this can help?

Thanks for the suggestion! Looks like a cool tool!

What I had in mind when I wrote this short reminder was some way to make Concuerror aware about new "significant" (from a concurrency perspective) built-ins being added to the Erlang VM, so that some handling of them could be added. I am not sure that geas can be used for that...

I'm sure @crownedgrouse would be happy to answer that :)

Hi,
Resources are available at https://github.com/crownedgrouse/geas_devel
This help me to create geas database.
Under this repo you can find all exported functions even undocumented ones in Erlang term or yaml format for all Vm releases, and maybe more interesting for you, diff between two following release, in both format. It gives you what modules or functions are new in a release compared to former one, as well what was removed.

Is the difference between 20.0 and 20.1in yaml
