 		<li>Support for Record types (contributed by Julia Boes and Chris Hegarty, both of Oracle).</li>
 		<li>Usage of Java generic types. Most code bases will still compile without change.</li>
+		<li>GPR:#337: PrettyPrintWriter supports now characters of the Unicode Supplementary Multilingual Plane (by

 		<li>Support for fail-safe deserialization unless the parser is not directly involved (I/O or syntax error) as
