- Version 24.0:
- Highlights compiler:
* The compiler will now inline funs that are used only once
immediately after their definition.
* Compiler warnings and errors now include column numbers in
addition to line numbers.
* Variables bound between the keywords 'try' and 'of' can now
be used in the clauses following the 'of' keyword (that is,
in the success case when no exception was raised).
* Generators in list and binary comprehensions will now raise a
{bad_generator,Generator} exception if the generator has an
incorrect type Similarly, when a filter does not evaluate to
a boolean, a {bad_filter,Filter} exception will be raised.
* Warnings for expressions whose result was ignored that could
be suppressed by using the anonymous variable '_' can now be
suppressed with a variable beginning with '_'.
* Selective receive optimization will now be applied much more
often. The new recv_opt_info compile flag can be used to
print diagnostics relating to this optimization. You can read
more about the selective receive optimization in the
Efficiency Guide.
- erts, kernel, stdlib:
* hex encoding and decoding functions added in the binary module
* The BeamAsm JIT-compiler has been added to Erlang/OTP and
will give a significant performance boost for many
applications. The JIT-compiler is enabled by default on most
x86 64-bit platforms that have a C++ compiler that can
compile C++17. To verify that a JIT enabled emulator is
running you can use erlang:system_info(emu_flavor).
* A compatibility adaptor for gen_tcp to use the new socket API
has been implemented (gen_tcp_socket).
* Extended error information for failing BIF calls as proposed
in EEP 54 has been implemented.
* Process aliases as outlined by EEP 53 has been introduced.
* Implementation of EEP 56 in supervisor. It adds the concept
of significant children as well as the auto_shutdown
supervisor flag. See the supervisor manual page for more
information.
- ftp:
* Add support for FTPES (explicit FTP over TLS).
- ssl:
* Make TLS handshakes in Erlang distribution concurrent.
* TLS connections now support EdDSA certificates.
- wx:
* The application has been completely rewritten in order to use
wxWidgets version 3 as its base.
* Added support for wxWebView.
- edoc:
* EDoc is now capable of emitting EEP-48 doc chunks. This means
that, with some configuration, community projects can now
provide documentation for shell_docs the same way that OTP
libraries did since OTP 23.0.
