- Changes for 26.1.2:
* erts: If the external term format encoding of an argument list
part of a distributed spawn operation was faulty, the newly
spawned remote process could misbehave. The misbehavior
included hanging or interpret an incoming message as an
argument list to use. This was very unlikely to happen unless
using an alternate implementation of the distribution protocol
which made a faulty encoding of the argument list. The child
process will now detect this error and terminate before
executing the user specified code.
* erts: Fix bugs where if the body of a matchspec would return a
map with a variable ('$1', '$_' etc) as one of the keys or
values and the variable was not an immidiate, the term would
not be copied to the receiving processes heap. This would later
corrupt the term in the table as the GC could place move
markers in it, which in turn would cause the VM to crash. Bug
has been present for since OTP 17.0.
* xmerl: The xmerl version 1.3.32 was released in OTP 26.0.1, but
the incorrect version number of 1.3.31.1 was used for it. This
incorrect version number continued to appear in OTP 26.0.2, OTP
26.1, and OTP 26.1.1. The actual xmerl code in these OTP
versions however corresponds to xmerl version 1.3.32.
- Changes for 26.1.1:
* wx: The wx application would fail to build on macOS with Xcode
15.
* compiler: The compiler could become extremely slow for modules
containing huge functions.
* stdlib: Garbage collect the shell process when reducing the
amount of saved history and results.
