Refactoring with wrangler, updated: data and process refactorings, and integration with eclipse

Wrangler is a refactoring tool for Erlang, implemented in Erlang. This paper reports the latest developments in Wrangler, which include improved user experience, the introduction of a number of data- and process-related refactorings, and also the implementation of an Eclipse plug-in which, together with Erlide, provides refactoring support for Erlang in Eclipse.
