### 1.2 TV 2.1.4.8

  Own Id: OTP-9810

### 1.3 TV 2.1.4.7

#### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- tv: Allow table viewer to display refs, ports and small binaries

  Table viewer displayed #Port, #Ref, or #Bin as place holders for their respective object types in ets and mnesia tables. This can make table viewer difficult to use when viewing tables containing those data types. It doesn't make sense to render large binaries so #Bin will still be used for binaries that exceed 100 bytes. (Thanks to Blaine whittle)
