- Update to 20.2.2.
- Changes for 20.2.2:
* mnesia: Removed a quadratic behavior in startup. This change
implies that backend plugins (if used) must be set when the
schema is created or via configuration parameters before mnesia
is started.
* mnesia: Bad timing could crash mnesia after a checkpoint was
deactivated and reactivated with the same checkpoint name on
different tables.
- Changes for 20.2.1:
* ssh: Fix problem with OpenSSH 7.2 (and later) clients that has
used sha1 instead of sha2 for rsa-sha-256/512 user's public
keys.
- Highlighted changes for 20.2:
* crypto, ssl: The crypto API is extended to use private/public
keys stored in an Engine for sign/verify or encrypt/decrypt
operations. The ssl application provides an API to use this new
engine concept in TLS.
* ssh: SSH can now fetch the host key from the private keys stored
in an Engine. See the crypto application for details about
Engines.
* ssl: A new command line option -ssl_dist_optfile has been added
to facilitate specifying the many options needed when using SSL
as the distribution protocol.
* stdlib: Improve performance of the new string functionality when
handling ASCII characters.
- Update to 20.1.5:
* erts: Fixed a regression in zlib:gunzip/1 that prevented it
from working when the decompressed size was a perfect multiple
of 16384. This regression was introduced in 20.1.1
* erts: Fixed a memory corruption bug in enif_inspect_iovec;
writable binaries stayed writable after entering the iovec.
* erts: Fixed a crash in enif_inspect_iovec on encountering empty
binaries.
* erts: zlib:deflateParams/3 will no longer return buf_error when
called after zlib:deflate/2 with zlib 1.2.11.
* inets: Correct the handling of location headers so that the
status code is not hard coded. This should have been fixed by
commit 2cc5ba70cbbc6b3ace81a2a0324417c3b65265bb but
unfortunately was broken during a code refactoring and
unnoticed due to a faulty placed test case.
- Update to 20.1.4:
* inets: Fix broken handling of POST requests
* inets: Make sure ints:stop/2 of the service httpd is
synchronous
* inets: Honor status code returned by ESI script and modernize
"location" header handling.
- Update to 20.1.3:
* diameter: A fault introduced in diameter 2.1 could cause decode
errors to be ignored in AVPs following the header of aGrouped
AVP.
* erts: Added zlib:set_controlling_process/2 to move a zstream()
between processes.
* erts: Fix so that schedulers are bound correctly when the first
available cpu is not the first detected cpu. e.g. when using
"taskset -c X..Y" when X is not equal to 0.
* snmp: The recbuf configuration option was not propagated
correctly to the socket for the SNMP Manager.
- Replace references to /var/adm/fillup-templates with new
%_fillupdir macro (boo#1069468)
- Update to 21.1.2:
* diameter: An inadvertently removed monitor in diameter 2.1
caused the ets table diameter_reg to leak entries, and caused
service restart and more to fail.
* erts: Fixed bug that could cause a VM crash when a corrupt
message is received on distribution channel from other node.
- Update to 20.1.1:
* compiler: The compiler could issue an incorrect internal
consistency failure diagnostic for some complicated bit syntax
maches.
* erts: The new zlib module returned a data_error when inflating
concatenated streams, which was incompatible with the old
module's behavior of returning the uncompressed data up to the
end of the first stream.
* erts: zlib:gunzip/1 will no longer stop at the end of the first
stream when decompressing concatenated gzip files.
* ssh: Fixed broken printout
* ssh: Disable aes_gcm ciphers if peer is OpenSSH 6.2 which is
known to have trouble with them in some cases.
- Update to 20.1:
* crypto, public_key: Extend crypto and public_key functions
sign and verify with: support for RSASSA-PS padding for
signatures and for saltlength setting X9.31 RSA padding. sha,
sha224, sha256, sha384, and sha512 for dss signatures as
mentioned in NIST SP 800-57 Part 1. ripemd160 to be used for
rsa signatures. A new tuple in crypto:supports/0 reports
supported MAC algorithms.
* diameter: Add service option decode_format to allow incoming
messages to be decoded into maps instead of records. Decode
performance has been improved. Add service/transport option
avp_dictionaries to give better support for dictionaries only
defining AVPs.
* erts: Upgraded the ERTS internal PCRE library from version
8.40 to version 8.41.
* erts, kernel, tools: Profiling with lock counting can now be
fully toggled at runtime in the lock counting emulator
(-emu_type lcnt). Everything is enabled by default to match
the old behavior, but specific categories can be toggled at
will with minimal runtime overhead when disabled. Refer to the
documentation on lcnt:rt_mask/1 for details.
* lcnt:collect and lcnt:clear will no longer block all other
threads in the runtime system. This makes it possible to run
the lock counting under heavier load.
* erts: The zlib module has been refactored and all its
operations will now yield appropriately, allowing them to be
used freely in concurrent applications.
* erts, tools: Add erlang:iolist_to_iovec/1, which converts an
iolist() to an erlang:iovec(), which is suitable for use with
enif_inspect_iovec().
* erts: Add new nif API functions for managing an I/O Queue. The
added functions are: enif_ioq_create(), enif_ioq_destroy(),
enif_ioq_enq_binary(), enif_ioq_enqv(), enif_ioq_deq(),
enif_ioq_peek(), enif_inspect_iovec(), enif_free_iovec()
* observer/crashdump_viewer: Reading of crash dumps with many
binaries is optimized. A progress bar is shown when the detail
view for a process is opened. The cdv script now sets
ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS=0 to avoid generating a new crash dump
from the node running the Crashdump Viewer.
* observer: Add system statistics and limits to frontpage in
observer.
* public_key, ssl**: Improved error propagation and reports
* ssh: A new option modify_algorithms is implemented. It enables
specifying changes on the default algorithms list. See the
reference manual and the SSH User's Guide chapter "Configuring
algorithms in SSH".
* tools/xref: The predefined Xref analysis locals_not_used now
understands the -on_load() attribute and does not report
unused functions.
* tools/fprof: When sampling multiple processes and analyzing
with totals set to true, the output now sums together all
caller and callee entries which concerns the same function.
Previous behaviour was to report each contributing entry
separately.
- Only Java 1.6 is supported by Erlang since 18.0 release
- Update to 20.0.5:
* erts: Fixed bug in binary_to_term and binary_to_atom that could
cause VM crash. Typically happens when the last character of an
UTF8 string is in the range 128 to 255, but truncated to only
one byte. Bug exists in binary_to_term since ERTS version
5.10.2 (OTP_R16B01) and binary_to_atom since ERTS version 9.0
(OTP-20.0).
* inets: http_uri aligned to follow RFC 3986 and not convert "+"
to space when decoding URIs.
* inets: Added new option max_client_body_chunk to httpd server
to allow chunked delivery of PUT and POST data to mod_esi
callback. Note, new mod_esi callback implementation is
required. Also correct value provided by server_name
environment variable.
- Update to 20.0.4:
* dializer: Fix a bug where merging PLT:s could lose info. The
bug was introduced in Erlang/OTP 20.0.
* erts: A timer internal bit-field used for storing scheduler id
was too small. As a result, VM internal timer data structures
could become inconsistent when using 1024 schedulers on the
system. Note that systems with less than 1024 schedulers are
not effected by this bug. This bug was introduced in ERTS
version 7.0 (OTP 18.0).
* erts: Automatic cleanup of a BIF timer, when the owner process
terminated, could race with the timeout of the timer. This
could cause the VM internal data structures to become
inconsistent which very likely caused a VM crash. This bug was
introduced in ERTS version 9.0 (OTP 20.0).
- Update to 20.0.3:
* asn1: Default values now work in extension for PER, so if you
give the atom asn1_DEFAULT instead of a value it will become
the default value.
* compiler: Fail labels on guard BIFs weren't taken into account
during an optimization pass, and a bug in the validation pass
sometimes prevented this from being noticed when a fault
occurred.
* erts: Binary append operations did not check for overflow,
resulting in nonsensical results when huge binaries were
appended.
* ssh: All unknown options are sent to the transport handler
regardless of type.
- Update to 20.0.2:
* asn: Fixed compilation error of generated code caused by a
missing quotation of function names as part of an external call for
encoding.
* erts: Added missing release notes for OTP-14491 ("performance
bug in pre-allocators") which was included in erts-9.0.1 (OTP-20.0.1).
* erts: Fixed a bug that prevented TCP sockets from being
closed properly on send timeouts.
* erts: Fixed bug in operator bxor causing erroneuos result
when one operand is a big *negative* integer with the lowest N*W bits as
zero and the other operand not larger than N*W bits. N is an integer of 1
or larger and W is 32 or 64 depending on word size.
* kernel: The documentation for the 'quiet' option in
disk_log:open/1 had an incorrect default value.
- erlang-gs application has been depricated
- Update to 20.0.1:
* erts: Fixed a bug in gen_tcp:send where it never returned when
repeatedly called on a remotely closed TCP socket.
* erts: Fixed segfault that could happen during cleanup of aborted
erlang:port_command/3 calls. A port_command is aborted if the
port is closed at the same time as the port_command was issued.
This bug was introduced in erts-8.0.
* erts: Fixed implementation of statistics(wall_clock) and
statistics(runtime) so that values do not unnecessarily wrap due
to the emulator. Note that the values returned by
statistics(runtime) may still wrap due to limitations in the
underlying functionality provided by the operating system.
* erts: Fix performance bug in pre-allocators that could cause
them to permanently fall back on normal more expensive memory
allocation. Pre-allocators are used for quick allocation of
short lived meta data used by messages and other scheduled
tasks. Bug exists since OTP_R15B02.
* runtime_tools: A faulty encoding comment was added when saving
trace patterns to file. This is now corrected.
* stdlib: A bug in proc_lib:format() introduced in Erlang/OTP 20.0
is corrected.
* stdlib: Fix string:len/1 to be compatible with previous
versions.
* stdlib: In OTP-20.0, the behavior of c, make, and ct_make was
changed so that in some cases the beam files by default would be
written to the directory where the source files were found. This
is now changed back to the old behavior so beam files are by
default written to current directory.
- Update to 20.0.0:
* Potential Incompatibilities
* ERTS:
* The non SMP Erlang VM is deprecated and not built by default
* Remove deprecated erlang:hash/2
* erlang:statistics/1 with scheduler_wall_time now also
includes info about dirty CPU schedulers.
* The new purge strategy introduced in OTP 19.1 is mandatory
and slightly incompatible for processes holding funs
* see erlang:check_process_code/3.
* The NIF library reload is not supported anymore.
* Atoms can now contain arbitrary unicode characters which
means that the DFLAG_UTF8_ATOMS capability in the
distribution protocol must be supported if an OTP 20 node
should accept the connection with another node or library.
Third party libraries which uses the distribution protocol
need to be updated with this.
* Asn1: Deprecated module and functions removed (asn1rt,
asn1ct:encode/3 and decode/3)
* Ssh: client only option in a call to start a daemon will now fail
* Highlights
* Erts:
* Dirty schedulers enabled and supported on VM with SMP support.
* support for “dirty” BIFs and “dirty” GC.
* erlang:garbage_collect/2 for control of minor or major GC
* Erlang literals are no longer copied when sending messages.
* Improved performance for large ETS tables, >256 entries
(except ordered_set)
* erlang:system_info/1 atom_count and atom_limit
* Reduced memory pressure by converting sub-binaries to
heap-binaries during GC
* enif_select, map an external event to message
* Improvements of timers internally in the VM resulting in
reduced memory consumption and more efficient administration
for timers
* Compiler:
* Code generation for complicated guards is improved.
* Warnings for repeated identical map keys. #{'a'=>1, 'b'=>2,
'a'=>3} will warn for the repeated key a.
* By default there is now a warning when export_all is used.
Can be disabled
* Pattern matching for maps is optimized
* New option deterministic to omit path to source + options
info the BEAM file.
* Atoms may now contain arbitrary unicode characters.
* compile:file/2 has an option to include extra chunks in the
BEAM file.
* Misc other applications:
* Significantly updated string module with unicode support and
many new functions
* crypto now supports OpenSSL 1.1
* Unnamed ets tables optimized
* gen_fsm is deprecated and replaced by gen_statem
* A new event manager to handle a subset of OS signals in
Erlang
* Optimized sets add_element, del_element and union
* Added rand:jump/0-1
* When a gen_server crashes, the stacktrace for the client
will be printed to facilitate debugging.
* take/2 has been added to dict, orddict, and gb_trees.
* take_any/2 has been added to gb_trees
* erl_tar support for long path names and new file formats
* asn1: the new maps option changes the representation of
SEQUENCE to be maps instead of records
* A TLS client will by default call
public_key:pkix_verify_hostname/2 to verify the hostname
* ssl: DTLS documented in the API, experimental
* ssh: improving security, removing and adding algorithms
* New math:fmod/2
- Disable global PIE for erlang, code is currently not fully
ready.
- Update to 19.3.2:
* erts: The +Bi command line argument of erl erroneously caused
SIGTERM to be ignored by the VM as well as of all its child
processes. This bug was introduced in erts version 8.3.
- Update to 19.3.1:
* crypto: Fix a bug with AES CFB 128 for 192 and 256 bit keys.
Thanks to kellymclaughlin !
* erts: Trying to open a directory with file:read_file/1 on Unix
leaked a file descriptor. This bug has now been fixed.
* erts: Invoking init:stop/0 via the SIGTERM signal, in a non-SMP
BEAM, could cause BEAM to terminate with fatal error. This has
now been fixed and the BEAM will terminate normally when SIGTERM
is received.
* inets: Fixed a bug in ftp that made further operations after a
recv_chunk operation impossible.
* ssh: ssh:daemon_info/1 crashed if the listening IP was not 'any'
* ssl: Correct active once emulation, for TLS. Now all data
received by the connection process will be delivered through
active once, even when the active once arrives after that the
gen_tcp socket is closed by the peer.
- Changes since 19.2:
* crypto, ssh: The implementation of the key exchange algorithms
diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha* are optimized, up to a factor
of 11 for the slowest ( = biggest and safest) group size.
* dialyzer: The peak memory consumption is reduced. Analyzing
modules with binary construction with huge strings is now much
faster.
* erts: A received SIGTERM signal to beam will generate a 'stop'
message to the init process and terminate the Erlang VM nicely.
This is equivalent to calling init:stop/0.
* kernel: The functions in the file module that take a list of
paths (e.g. file:path_consult/2) will now continue to search in
the path if the path contains something that is not a directory.
* kernel: Two OTP processes that are known to receive many
messages are rex (used by rpc) and error_logger. Those processes
will now store unprocessed messages outside the process heap,
which will potentially decrease the cost of garbage collections.
* public_key: New function pkix_verify_hostname/2,3 implements
certificate hostname checking. See the manual and RFC 6125.-
* public_key, ssh: The ssh host key fingerprint generation now
also takes a list of algorithms and returns a list of
corresponding fingerprints. See
public_key:ssh_hostkey_fingerprint/2 and the option
silently_accept_hosts in ssh:connect.
* ssl: Move PEM cache to a dedicated process, to avoid making the
SSL manager process a bottleneck. This improves scalability of
TLS connections.
* stdlib: filename:safe_relative_path/1 to sanitize a relative
path has been added.
- Add missed scripts requires for erlang-epmd package
- Update to 19.2.2:
* mnesia: Fixed crash in checkpoint handling when table was
deleted during backup.
- Update to 19.2:
* stdlib: The new behaviour gen_statem has been improved with 3
new features: the possibility to use old style non-proxy
timeouts for gen_statem:call/2,3, state entry code, and state
timeouts. These are backwards compatible. Minor code and
documentation improvements has been performed including a
borderline semantics correction of timeout zero handling.
* ssl: Experimental version of DTLS. It is runnable but not
complete and cannot be considered reliable for production usage.
To use DTLS add the option {protocol, dtls} to ssl:connect and
ssl:listen.
* ssh: Extended the option silently_accept_hosts for ssh:connect
to make it possible for the client to check the SSH host key
fingerprint string. Se the reference manual for SSH.
* ~40 contributions since the previous service release OTP 19.1
- Update to 19.1:
* erts: Improved dirty scheduler support. A purge of a module
will not have to wait for completion of all ongoing dirty
NIF calls
* erts: Improved accuracy of timeouts on MacOS X
* kernel: Add net_kernel:setopts/2 and net_kernel:getopts/2 to
control options for distribution sockets in runtime
* asn1: Compiling multiple ASN.1 modules in the same directory
with parallel make (make -j) should now be safe
* httpd: support for PUT and DELETE in mod_esi
* ~30 contributions since 19.0
- Update to 19.0.4:
* erts: Fixed a race that could cause a lost wakeup of a process
that timed out in a receive ... after. This bug was introduced
in ERTS version 7.0.
* erts: Fixed segfault after writing an erl crash dump.
- Update to 19.0:
* compiler, stdlib: New preprocessor macros *?FUNCTION_NAME,
?FUNCTION_ARITY*. New preprocessor directives -error(Term) and
-warning(Term) to cause a compilation error or warning,
respectively.
* gen_statem: a new state machine behavior
* mnesia_ext: plugin of external storage solutions to mnesia
* crypto: uses EVP interface in OpenSSL resulting in generally
better performance and support for HW acceleration
* ssh: performance improvements, uses the new gen_statem behavior
* ssl: enhanced error log messages
* dialyzer: the support for maps is very much extended both
the type specification syntax and the type analysis.
* erts: erlang:open_port(spawn, ...) 3-5 times faster
* erts/kernel: Experimental support for Unix Domain Sockets
* ose: Deprecated application has been removed
* webtool: Deprecated application has been removed
* test_server: Deprecated application has been removed, use
common_test instead
- Do not suppress errors from useradd/groupadd
- Orthographic/typographical fixes
- Update to 18.3.4:
* inets: Handle multiple \t in mime types file
* ssl: Correct ssl:prf/5 to use the negotiated cipher suite's prf
function in ssl:prf/5 instead of the default prf.
* ssl: Timeouts may have the value 0, guards have been corrected
to allow this
* ssl: Change of internal handling of hash sign pairs as the used
one enforced to much restrictions making some valid
combinations unavailable.
* ssl: Create a little randomness in sending of session
invalidation messages, to mitigate load when whole table is
invalidated.
- Return diameter application: as for 18.3.3 it is distributed
under APL license
- Update to 18.3.3:
* common_test: The nodelay option used to be enabled (true) by
default for sockets opened by the Common Test
telnet client.
* common_test: Fix bug in cth_surefire
* common_test: The ct:get_timetrap_info/0 function has been
updated to return more information about timetrap
scaling.
* common_test: A problem with stylesheet HTML tags getting
incorrectly escaped by Common Test has been
corrected.
* common_test: The ct_run start flag -no_esc_chars and
ct:run_test/1 start option {esc_chars,Bool} have
been introduced.
* inets: Put back unused module inets_regexp
* ssl: Correct cipher suites conversion and gaurd expression.
- Update to 18.3.2:
* inets: Add environment information item peer_cert to mod_esi
* ssl: Corrections to cipher suite handling using
the 3 and 4 tuple format
* ssl: Make values for the TLS-1.2 signature_algorithms
extension configurable
- Update to 18.3:
* New statistics info about runnable and active processes &
ports. Call erlang:statistics with:
total_run_queue_lengths | run_queue_lengths | total_active_tasks
| active_tasks.
* Time warp improvements: dbg:p/2 and erlang:trace/3 with
monotonic_timestamp |strict_monotonic_timestamp.
* Introduced a validation callback for heart.
* The module overload in sasl has been deprecated.
* several bug fixes
- Update to 18.2.3:
* inets: mod_alias now traverses all aliases picking
the longest match and not the first match.
- Update to 18.2.2:
* ssh: The authentication method 'keyboard-interactive' failed
in the Erlang client when the server after successful
authentication continued by asking for zero more
passwords.
- Update to 18.2.1:
* Due to a bug in the handling of paths on windows
none of the following would work with paths
containing a space: ct_run dialyzer erlc escript typer
This also contains a fix for HiPE enabled emulator for
FreeBSD.
- Update to 18.2:
* ssl: Add configurable upper limit for session
cache. erts: Add function enif_getenv to read OS
environment variables in a portable way from NIFs.
* kernel: Add {line_delim, byte()} option to
inet:setopts/2 and decode_packet/3
* ssh: The 'ecdsa-sha2-nistp256',
'ecdsa-sha2-nistp384' and 'ecdsa-sha2-nistp521'
signature algorithms for ssh are implemented. See RFC5656.
* ssh: The ssh:daemon option dh_gex_groups is
extended to read a user provided ssh moduli file
with generator-modulus pairs. The file is in openssh
format.
- disable hipe on s390/s390x to fix build
- Update to 18.1.3:
* ssl: Add possibility to downgrade an SSL/TLS connection to a
tcp connection, and give back the socket control to a user
process.
* ssh: The following new key exchange algorithms are
implemented:'ecdh-sha2-nistp256', 'ecdh-sha2-nistp384',
'ecdh-sha2-nistp521','diffie-hellman-group14-sha1',
'diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1' and
'diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256'. This raises the
security level considerably.
* kernel,stdlib,sasl: A mechanism for limiting the amount of
text that the built-in error logger events will produce has
been introduced. It is useful for limiting both the size of
log files and the CPU time used to produce them. This
mechanism is experimental in the sense that it may be changed
based on feedback. See config parameter
error_logger_format_depth in the Kernel application.
- Removed erts_fix_unlock_status_lock.patch: fixed in upstream
- Rework wxWidgets BuildRequire: fix build for Leap 42.1
- update to 18.0.3:
* erts: Fixed a binary memory leak when printing to shell using
the tty driver (i.e. not -oldshell).
* erts: Fix a bug where the standard error port sometimes
crashes with eagain as the reason.
- add erts_fix_unlock_status_lock.patch to fix a rare deadlock in erts
- fix RHEL/CentOS 7 build
- update to 18.0.2:
* Fix processes ending up in an inconsistent half exited state
in the runtime system without SMP support
* Remove unnecessary copying of data when retrieving corrected
Erlang monotonic time.
* POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY:
Change default OS monotonic clock source chosen at build time.
This in order to improve performance. The behavior will now on
most systems be that (both OS and Erlang) monotonic time stops
when the system is suspended. (changeable via the
--enable-prefer-elapsed-monotonic-time-during-suspend
configure parameter)
* Fix erlang:system_info(end_time) returning a faulty value on
32-bit architectures.
* Fix the trace_file_drv not handling EINTR correctly which
caused it to fail when the runtime system received a signal.
- update to 18.0.1:
* Fix a rare hanging of the VM seen to happen just after
emulator start. Bug exists since R14.
- update to 18.0:
* new license: APL 2.0 (Apache Public License)
* erts: The time functionality has been extended. This includes
a new API for time, as well as "time warp" modes which
alters the behavior when system time changes. You are
strongly encouraged to use the new API instead of the
old API based on erlang:now/0. erlang:now/0 has been
deprecated since it is a scalability bottleneck. See
http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/erts/time_correction.html
* erts: Beside the API changes and time warp modes a lot of
scalability and performance improvements regarding time
management has been made. Examples are:
+ scheduler specific timer wheels,
+ scheduler specific BIF timer management,
+ parallel retrieval of monotonic time and system time
on OS:es that support it.
* erts: The previously introduced "eager check I/O" feature is
now enabled by default.
* erts/compiler: enhanced support for maps. Big maps new uses a
HAMT (Hash Array Mapped Trie) representation internally
which makes them more efficient. There is now also
support for variables as map keys.
* dialyzer: The -dialyzer() attribute can be used for suppressing
warnings in a module by specifying functions or warning
options. It can also be used for requesting warnings in
a module.
* ssl: Remove default support for SSL-3.0 and added padding check
for TLS-1.0 due to the Poodle vulnerability.
* ssl: Remove default support for RC4 cipher suites, as they are
consider too weak.
* stdlib: Allow maps for supervisor flags and child specs
* stdlib: New functions in ets:
+ take/2: Works the same as ets:delete/2 but also returns
the deleted object(s).
+ update_counter/4 with a default object as argument
- update to 17.5.6:
* Fix broken relay counters
* Fix diameter_sctp listener race

* eldap: Nearly all TCP options are possible to give in the eldap:open/2 call.
* ssh: Added API functions ptty_alloc/3 and ptty_alloc/4, to allocate a pseudo tty.
* ssl: Handle servers that may send an empty SNI extension to the client.
- use wxWidgets 3.0
- fix bashisms in pre script
- Update to 17.3:
* erts: Introduced enif_schedule_nif() which allows a long
running NIF to be broken into separate NIF invocations
without the help of a wrapper function written in Erlang
* common_test: Experimental support for running Quickcheck and
PropEr tests from common_test suites is added.
Examples of usage in the suites for the ssh and
inets applications
* Bugfixes and minor new features in applications such as asn1,
erts, kernel, stdlib, diameter, ssh, mnesia, ssl, jinterface
- Enable Erlang-specific parts of rpmlint for openSUSE 13.2
- Starting from 17.1 explicit --enable-systemd required
- To remake configure is not required anymore (patches had been dropped)
- Update to 17.0:
* crypto: Add aes_cfb8 cypher to crypto:block_encrypt and
block_decrypt.
* diameter: Add result code counters for CEA, DWA, and DPA.
* erts: The following built in functions in the erlang and
binary modules now bump an appropriate amount
of reductions and yield when out of reductions:
binary_to_list/1, binary_to_list/3, bitstring_to_list/1,

- update to R16B03 release:
+ A new memory allocation feature called "super carrier" has
been introduced. It can for example be used for pre-allocation
of all memory that the runtime system should be able to use.
It is enabled by passing the +MMscs (size in MB) command line
argument. For more information see the documentation of the
+MMsco, +MMscrfsd, +MMscrpm, +MMscs, +MMusac, and, +Mlpm
command line arguments in the erts_alloc(3) documentation.
+ The ldap client eldap now supports the start_tls operation.
This upgrades an existing tcp connection to encryption using
tls, see eldap:start_tls/2 and /3.
+ The ftp client (inets application) now supports ftp over tls
(ftps).
- adapt patch erlang-not-install-misc.patch

+ A new test scope
+ Added application:ensure_all_started/1-2
+ New erl option +SP to set schedulers by percentages.
- update to R16B01 release:

(seperate package)
- Fix ppc and arm patches so that they don't conflict
- Fix erlang-src orphaned directories.
erlang-src has been split according to erlang package.
- Add erlang-no-install-misc.patch:
initial Fedora name was too long for us:
otp-0001-Do-not-format-man-pages-and-do-not-install-miscellan.patch
this patch is
* to remove generating of erlang/man/cat? directories (which were not even market as %ghost) at %post.
The man-files is gz-pped (by SUSE) and because of that, script misc/format_man_pages has been failing its job for a long time;
* to remove unused scripts from misc.
- update to R16B release:
+ Optimized handling of processes in the VM
* New internal process table allowing for parallel reads and
writes

for maximum ports to be raised to 65536 (from 1024)
+ Support for UTF-8 encoded Unicode characters in source files.
+ Inets application: The http client now support HTTPS through a
proxy
+ Asn1 application: Major cleanup of back ends and optimizations
of mainly decode for PER and UPER.
+ The experimental features parameterized modules and packages
are removed. An alternative compatible solution for
parameterized modules is provided here
https://github.com/erlang/pmod_transform.
+ All built in functions BIF's (even if they are implemented in
C as part of the VM) are now visible in the source code of the
module they belong to, including their type specs.
+ The Wx application now compiles and is usable with the
unstable development branch of wxWidgets-2.9.
This means that wx can now be built on 64 bit MacOsX as well.

errors as they did in R15B02
+ systems using heart still have to define a maximum time for
crashdumps using the ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS environment
variable
- dropped otp-R15B03-fix_ssl_accept_timeout.patch
(fixed in release)
- Add fix-armv7hl.patch - temporary fix build at armv7hl

echo -e needed to get the "\n" printed properly.
- update to R15B03 release:
+ mainly bug fixes
+ ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS must be set in order to get any Erlang
crash dump (potential incompatibility introduced to fix the
use of "-heart" in combination with the Erlang crash dump
+ details: http://www.erlang.org/download/otp_src_R15B03.readme
- Fix useradd invocation: -o is useless without -u and newer
versions of pwdutils/shadowutils fail on this now.
- fixed 'executable-docs' lint error
- directory /usr/share/man/man1 is handled by filesystem package,
we don't have to package it twice
- Symlink man-pages for binaries (1) into %_mandir (bnc#788027)
- Use SPDX-style license (ErlPL-1.1)
- Merge changes from devel:languages:misc/erlang, which is still the
devel project for Factory.
- Set same permissions for the following files (bnc#784670):
/usr/lib64/erlang/bin/start_erl
/usr/lib64/erlang/erts-5.8.5/bin/start_erl.src
- Avoid shipping libraries with licensing issues (see bnc#728667)
+ Neither ship 'diameter' source or binary and remove the corresponding
but useless man pages
+ The xmerl binary (library) is safe to ship, but not it's sources
(fixes bnc#776060)
- epmd should not run under the service that needs it first:
- add init script to launch epmd under the newly added epmd
user/group.
- added /etc/sysconfig/erlang to configure the port and the
listening IP
- require generic java-devel package for all distros (>= 1.5.0)
- fixed javac define for openjdk7
- enabled parallel build again
- update to R15B02 release:
+ Highlights:
* Dialyzer: The type analysis tool Dialyzer is optimized to be
generally faster. - It can now also run in parallel (default)
on SMP systems and by this perform the analysis significantly
faster (Thanks to Stavros Aronis and Kostis Sagonas)
* The SSL application now has experimental support for the
TLS 1.1 and 1.2 standards as well (Thanks to Andreas Schultz).
* CommonTest: It is now possible to sort the generated html
tables. A Netconf client (ct_netconf) which support basic
netconf over ssh is added
* Diameter: Statistics counters related to Diameter messages can
now be retrieved by calling the diameter:service_info/2 function.
* Various smaller optimizations in the Erlang VM
* This release also contains 66 contributions from users outside
the Ericsson team
- Add erlang-ppc.patch: Fix PPC architecture detection
- Simply use java-devel >= 1.6.0 as it expands to correct jdk on every
distribution
- updated to R15B01 release:
+ Highlights from R15B01:
* Added erlang:statistics(scheduler_wall_time) to ensure correct
determination of scheduler utilization. Measuring scheduler
utilization is strongly preferred over CPU utilization, since
CPU utilization gives very poor indications of actual
scheduler/vm usage.
* Changed ssh implementation to use the public_key application
for all public key handling. This is also a first step for
enabling a callback API for supplying public keys and handling
keys protected with password phrases. Additionally the test
suites where improved so that they do not copy the users keys
to test server directories as this is a security liability.
Also ipv6 and file access issues found in the process has been
fixed.
* When an escript ends now all printout to standard output and
standard error gets out on the terminal. This bug has been
corrected by changing the behaviour of erlang:halt/0,1, which
should fix the same problem for other escript-like applications,
i.e. that data stored in the output port driver buffers got
lost when printing on a TTY and exiting through erlang:halt/0,1.
The BIF:s erlang:halt/0,1 has gotten improved semantics and
there is a new BIF erlang:halt/2 to accomplish something like
the old semantics. See the documentation.
* The DTrace source patch from Scott Lystig Fritchie is
integrated in the source tree. Using an emulator with dtrace
probe is still not supported for production use, but may be a
valuable debugging tool. Configure with
--with-dynamic-trace=dtrace (or --with-dynamic-trace=systemtap)
to create a build with dtrace probes enabled. See runtime_tools
for documentation and examples
* Added Torbjörn Törnkvists LDAP client as a new application
called eldap.
* Added options for the ssh client to support user keys files
that are password protected.

*
- use RPM_OPT_FLAGS for distributions other than openSUSE 11.0 or Fedora 9
(adding this for those was not possible due to a bug in GCC)
*
- update to R13B01
- clean repo from old versions
- integrated compiler patch that fixes an "Internal consistency check failed" error
see http://www.erlang.org/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?2:mss:1335:200906:hbcibacodggnfnj

- add OTP-7738 patch
A process being garbage collected via the garbage_collect/1
BIF or the check_process_code/2 BIF didn't handle message
receive and resume correctly during the garbage collect.
When this occurred, the process returned to the state it had
before the garbage collect instead of entering the new state.
