--- HIGHLIGHTS ----------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8220 A module can have native implemented functions (NIFs) that
are dynamically loaded by calling erlang:load_nif/2. This is
an experimental feature that is not yet intended for
production systems. It is released with intention to get some
early feedback on the interfaces before they are carved in
stone.
--- documentation -------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8282 Removed bogus "\011" character sequence in documentation.
--- otp -----------------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8201 The documentation is now built with open source tools
(xsltproc and fop) that exists on most platforms. One visible
change is that the frames are removed.
OTP-8264 OTP can be built and run on Windows 7.
--- appmon-2.1.10.2 -----------------------------------------------------
OTP-8201 The documentation is now built with open source tools
(xsltproc and fop) that exists on most platforms. One visible
change is that the frames are removed.
--- asn1-1.6.12 ---------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8256 The documentation is now built with open source tools
(xsltproc and fop) that exists on most platforms. One visible
change is that the frames are removed.
--- common_test-1.4.6 ---------------------------------------------------
OTP-8201 The documentation is now built with open source tools
(xsltproc and fop) that exists on most platforms. One visible
change is that the frames are removed.
OTP-8235 For a failed test case, the tc_done event is supposed to
report info on the form {failed,Error}. Only Error was
reported, however, which has now been fixed.
OTP-8284 It is now possible to fail a test case from the
end_per_testcase/2 function, by returning {fail,Reason}.
OTP-8285 It is now possible to fail a test case by having the end_tc/3
framework function return {fail,Reason} for the test case.
OTP-8286 The test_server framework API (e.g. the end_tc/3 function)
has been modified. See the test_server_ctrl documentation for
details.
OTP-8287 Various updates of the test events have been implemented. The
data field for some events, such as tc_done and tc_auto_skip
has been modified to make pattern matching on the data easier
and more consistent. Also the order in which some events are
received has been altered. E.g. the tc_auto_skip event for a
test case now comes after the tc_done for the failed
configuration function (not before) which makes more sense.
Note that no new events have been added and that the event
record remains unchanged.
OTP-8288 The marquee used for test names on the all_runs.html page has
been removed on request. Note that the test name field has
the full text string in a title tag, which is displayed when
hovering the mouse pointer over it (i.e. if the web browser
supports title tags).
OTP-8289 If the init_per_testcase/2 function fails, the test case now
gets marked and counted as auto skipped, not user skipped
(which would previously happen).
OTP-8290 It is now possible to refresh the top level index files in an
arbitrary log directory by specifying a {refresh_logs,LogDir}
tuple in the ct:run_test/1 options list. Also the
-refresh_logs flag for the run_test script has been extended
to take an optional LogDir argument, i.e. -refresh_logs
[LogDir]. If no LogDir is specified, current working
directory is assumed, unless the log directory is set with
the -logdir flag.
OTP-8294 It was previously required that test suites were located
under a test object (or OTP application) sub-directory named
"test" (or under a directory named "<testobject>_test"). This
has been changed so that Common Test now looks for suites
primarily in a test sub-directory only if the directory
exists. Otherwise it will assume the suites are stored in the
same directory the user specifies with e.g. the 'dir' start
flag/option.
--- compiler-4.6.4 ------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8201 The documentation is now built with open source tools
(xsltproc and fop) that exists on most platforms. One visible
change is that the frames are removed.
OTP-8238 The compiler's 'E' option now works with modules with types
and specifications.
OTP-8269 The compiler could crash if invalid calls to is_record/2 was
used in (for example) a list comprehension. (Thanks to Tobias
Lindahl.)
OTP-8271 Certain uses of binary matching in a begin-end in a list
comprehension could cause the compiler to crash or generate
incorrect code.
OTP-8295 The -on_load() directive can be used to run a function when a
module is loaded. It is documented in the section about code
loading in the Reference Manual.
--- cosEvent-2.1.7 ------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8201 The documentation is now built with open source tools
(xsltproc and fop) that exists on most platforms. One visible
change is that the frames are removed.
--- cosEventDomain-1.1.7 ------------------------------------------------
OTP-8201 The documentation is now built with open source tools

change is that the frames are removed.
--- cosTransactions-1.2.8 -----------------------------------------------
OTP-8201 The documentation is now built with open source tools
(xsltproc and fop) that exists on most platforms. One visible
change is that the frames are removed.
--- crypto-1.6.2 --------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8068 An erroneous type spec for <c>gen:start/6</c> caused dialyzer
to erroneously issue warnings when <c>{spawn_opt,
SpawnOptionList}</c> was passed in the option list to the
<c>gen_server</c> and <c>gen_fsm</c> start functions.
OTP-8261 Fixed emulator crash caused by crypto using an old openssl
version that did not cope with large file descriptors.
--- crypto-1.6.3 --------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8200 Suppressed false valgrind errors caused by libcrypto using
uninitialized data as entropy.
OTP-8201 The documentation is now built with open source tools
(xsltproc and fop) that exists on most platforms. One visible
change is that the frames are removed.
OTP-8281 When the crypto application failed to load the OpenSSL/LibEAY
shared object, error indication was sparse. Now a more
specific error message is sent to the error logger.
--- debugger-3.2.1 ------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8201 The documentation is now built with open source tools
(xsltproc and fop) that exists on most platforms. One visible
change is that the frames are removed.
--- dialyzer-2.1.0 ------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8201 The documentation is now built with open source tools
(xsltproc and fop) that exists on most platforms. One visible
change is that the frames are removed.
OTP-8300 Dialyzer can statically detect some kinds of data races in
Erlang programs. Use the new option -Wrace_conditions to
enable the race analysis. The technique is described in a
paper which is available at:
http://www.it.uu.se/research/group/hipe/dialyzer/publications
/races.pdf
Added support for packages (thanks to Maria Christakis).
There has been a major change in the default mode of
Dialyzer. Previously, the default mode was the GUI, while now
it is the command line. As a result of this change, it is now
possible to analyze a set of files/dirs with the command:
dialyzer file1 ... fileN
In other words, the -c (--command-line) option is no longer
necessary, though it will be retained for some time for
backwards compatibility. To start dialyzer's GUI use either
of the following commands:
dialyzer --gui %% for the old gs-based GUI dialyzer --wx %%
for the new wx-based GUI (where available)
There is a new option --apps which allows the user to easily
refer to Erlang/OTP applications and include them in the
analysis or in the building of the PLT. For example, we
recommend building the PLT with:
dialyzer --build_plt --apps erts kernel stdlib mnesia ...
The new option can also take absolute file names as well as
applications. Note that the application versions that will be
included in the PLT are those that correspond to the
Erlang/OTP system which is used.
Dialyzer has a new wxWidgets based GUI (thanks to Elli
Frangaki) for platforms where the wx application is
available.
--- docbuilder-0.9.8.6 --------------------------------------------------
OTP-8201 The documentation is now built with open source tools
(xsltproc and fop) that exists on most platforms. One visible
change is that the frames are removed.
--- edoc-0.7.6.5 --------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8201 The documentation is now built with open source tools
(xsltproc and fop) that exists on most platforms. One visible
change is that the frames are removed.
--- erl_interface-3.6.4 -------------------------------------------------
OTP-8201 The documentation is now built with open source tools
(xsltproc and fop) that exists on most platforms. One visible
change is that the frames are removed.
--- erts-5.7.4 ----------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8193 The use of pthread_cond_timedwait() have been completely
removed from the runtime system. This since its behavior is
unpredictable when the system clock is suddenly changed. The
previous use of it was harmless.
OTP-8201 The documentation is now built with open source tools
(xsltproc and fop) that exists on most platforms. One visible
change is that the frames are removed.
OTP-8202 A new garbage collecting strategy for binaries which is more
aggressive than the previous implementation. Binaries now has
a virtual binary heap tied to each process. When binaries are
created or received to a process it will check if the heap
limit has been reached and if a reclaim should be done. This
imitates the behavior of ordinary Erlang terms. The virtual
heaps are grown and shrunk like ordinary heaps. This will
lessen the memory footprint of binaries in a system.
OTP-8205 The ErlDrvTermData term types used by driver_output_term()
and driver_send_term() have been extended with the term types
ERL_DRV_INT64, and ERL_DRV_UINT64 for passing 64-bit
integers. Also the 64-bit integer data types ErlDrvSInt64 and
ErlDrvUInt64 have been introduced.
For more information see the erl_driver(3) documentation.
OTP-8207 An insufficient stack allocation was made when reading CPU
information on BSD operating systems. (Thanks Michael Turner
and Akira Kitada)
OTP-8209 A bug when supplying an argument without a dash directly
after the program name when starting erlang could prevent
distribution to start. This is now corrected.
OTP-8215 [escript] The restriction that the first line in escripts
must begin with #! has been removed.
[escript] Some command line options to the escript executable
has now been documented. For example you can run an escript
in the debugger by just adding a command line option.
[escript] The documentation of the escript header syntax has
been clarified. For example the header is optional. This
means that it is possible to directly "execute" .erl, .beam
and.zip files.
OTP-8218 A ticker process could potentially be blocked indefinitely
trying to send a tick to a node not responding. If this
happened, the connection would not be brought down as it
should.
OTP-8219 The instruction for building OTP on Windows was outdated and
incomplete, the document is updated.
Also the otp_build script required windows drives to show up
in Cygwin using the /cygdrive prefix. That requirement is now
removed.
OTP-8220 A module can have native implemented functions (NIFs) that
are dynamically loaded by calling erlang:load_nif/2. This is
an experimental feature that is not yet intended for
production systems. It is released with intention to get some
early feedback on the interfaces before they are carved in
stone.
OTP-8221 The float/1 BIF would always force a garbage collection. The
BIFs size/1, byte_size/1, bit_size/1, abs/1, and round/1
would force a garbage-collection if the result was not a
sufficiently small integer.
OTP-8225 The erlang:port_command/3 BIF has been added.
erlang:port_command/3 is currently not auto imported, but it
is planned to be auto imported in OTP R14. For more
information see the erlang(3) documentation.
OTP-8230 Using certain firewalls (i.e. MS IAS Client and certain
versions of COMODO) could expose an undocumented behaviour in
the Win32 socket interface causing the name resolution calls
to hang infinitely. This is now worked around by adding
possibilities for port programs under Windows to use
overlapped I/O on their standard input/output file handles.
OTP-8236 'configure --enable-darwin-64bit' would fail if Snow Leopard
had been booted with the 64-bit kernel. (Thanks to Ryan M.
Graham.)
OTP-8242 Fixed bug on ETS tables with write_concurrency. The emulator
could crash when doing a select or match with a bound key
without finding any object.
OTP-8245 The information-request / information-response, and
group-leader-change-request / group-leader-changed-response
signal pairs described below did not always adhere to the
signal order guarantees of Erlang's signal model in the
runtime system with SMP support. These signals could for
example sometimes pass exit signals.
The following BIFs behaviors can be modeled as if an
asynchronous information-request signal is sent to Pid. If
Pid is alive, it responds with an asynchronous
information-response signal; otherwise, the runtime system
responds with a no-such-process signal. When the response is
received, the caller transforms it into the result of the
BIF.
is_process_alive(Pid) erlang:process_display(Pid, Type)
process_info(Pid) process_info(Pid, ItemSpec)
When Pid resides on the same node as the caller of
group_leader(GroupLeader, Pid), the group_leader/2 BIFs
behavior can be modeled as if an asynchronous
group-leader-change-request signal is sent to Pid. If Pid is
alive, it responds with an asynchronous
group-leader-changed-response signal; otherwise, the runtime
system responds with a no-such-process signal. When the
response is received, the caller transforms it into the
result of the BIF. The distributed case which only consists
of an asynchronous group-leader-change-request signal and no
response is not effected.
OTP-8257 Errors in the system_profile documentation has been
corrected.
OTP-8279 Low watermark socket option modified high watermark instead
of low watermark in the inet_driver. (Thanks to Feng Yu and
Tuncer Ayaz)
OTP-8297 A race condition could cause the runtime system with SMP
support to end up in a completely unresponsive state.

OTP-8204 [httpc] Streaming to file did not work.
OTP-8206 Fixing spelling in doc and code.
OTP-8247 [ftpc] The *ls* operation (LIST command) with wildcards did
not work properly. This function is documented as working on
directories, but this is actually not according the standard.
The LIST command is specified to operate on a directory or
other group of files, or a file. Previously, an attempt was
made to check if the listing returned by the server was
actually an error message. This was done by changing remote
directory (cd) into the (assumed) "directory". This may work
if Pathname was actually a directory, but as this is not
always the case, this test does not work. Instead, we now
return the actual server result and leave the interpretation
to the caller.
OTP-8248 [httpc] Fixes various bugs in timeout and keep-alive queue
handling. 1) When a queued request times out, the error
message is sent the owner of the active request. 2) Requests
in the keep-alive queue is forgotten when handler terminates.
3) Timeout out requests are retried. Jean-S�bastien P�dron
OTP-8249 The documentation is now built with open source tools
(xsltproc and fop) that exists on most platforms. One visible
change is that the frames are removed.
OTP-8258 [ftpc] The FTP client has been changed in the following way:
1) It is now also possible to start a standalone FTP client
process using the re-introduced ftp:open function. This is an
alternative to starting the client using the Inets service
framework. 2) Previously, the FTP client attempted to use
IPv6, unless otherwise instructed (the ip_v6_disabled flag),
and only used IPv4 if this did not work. This has now been
*changed*. A new option, ipfamily, has been introduced, with
the default value *inet* (IPv4). See ftp:open for more info.
OTP-8280 [httpd] Unnecessarily strict matching when handling closing
sockets.

OTP-8218 A ticker process could potentially be blocked indefinitely
trying to send a tick to a node not responding. If this
happened, the connection would not be brought down as it
should.
OTP-8259 A bug in pg2 when members who died did not leave process
groups has been fixed. (Thanks to Matthew Dempsky.)
OTP-8266 The top directory in archive files does not need to have a
-vsn suffix anymore. For example if the archive file has the
name like mnesia-4.4.7.ez the top directory in the archive
can either be named mnesia or mnesia-4.4.7. If the archive
file has a name like mnesia.ez the top directory in the
archive must be named mnesia as earlier.
OTP-8295 The -on_load() directive can be used to run a function when a
module is loaded. It is documented in the section about code
loading in the Reference Manual.
--- megaco-3.12 ---------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8183 Improve handling of async transaction reply. For requests
issued using megaco:cast, asynchronous, the reply will be
delivered using the handle_transaction_reply callback
function. If a receiver of a request does not reply in time,
megaco re-sends the request. If the receiver of the request
sends the reply at the same time as the sender re-sends, it
will also send a reply to the resent request (thinking the
first reply got lost). These two replies may arrive more or
less at the same time causing confusion if the request had
been issued using megaco:cast. In order to improve this
situation, a number of improvements have been done: 1) When
the first reply arrives, we start a timer. The timeout time
for the timer is specified by the config option:
request_keep_alive_timeout 2) We also keep track of how many
replies has been received (we do this as long as the
request_keep_alive timer is running). 3) Each reply that
arrives while the timer is running (including the first) will
be delivered using the handle_trans_reply callback function,
but with the UserReply augmented to include a serial number
indicating which reply number this is. The first reply will
be zero (0). Note that if the timer was *not* configured,
megaco will act exactly as before! 4) Replies arriving after
the timer has expired will be delivered in the same way as
before, using the handle_unexpected_trans callback function.
OTP-8212 If the megaco app received a transaction reply, for a request
issued using the megaco:call function, from the wrong MG
(wrong MId), megaco would still deliver the reply as if it
came from the correct MG (right MId). This has been changed
so that instead the function will return with the error
reason. See megaco:call for more info.
--- megaco-3.13 ---------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8239 A minor optimization by using ets:update_element instead of
ets:insert for some table updates.

--- snmp-4.14 -----------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8223 [compiler] Include object and notification groups in the
compiled mib. This will make it possible to import groups
from other mibs. Also the SNMPv2-MIB-file has been updated to
a more up-to-date version.
OTP-8228 [manager] Added support for message filtering in the network
interface module provided with the application. The component
that actually make the filter decisions is the network
interface filter module. This module must implement the
network interface filter behaviour for message filtering. See
also the Configuring the application chapter of the User's
Guide to see how to configure this feature.
OTP-8237 The MIBs delivered as part of the application is now also
available as man pages, section 7.
--- snmp-4.15 -----------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8229 [manager] When information of an unknown agent is received,
it was previously delivered to the default user via calls to
all the functions of the callback API depending on the info
type (pdu, trap, report or inform). The problem was that the
TargetName argument was useless in this case (only an already
known agent has a known/valid TargetName, but the TargetName
used in these call was generated "on the fly"). This has now
been changed so that when a message is received from an
unknown agent, then only handle_agent (for the default user)
is called, but now this call also has a Type argument, which
is pdu | trap | report | inform depending on what kind of
message was actually received, thus making it possible for
the user to properly analyze the data received. To handle
this, the snmpm_user behaviour has been updated.
OTP-8249 The documentation is now built with open source tools
(xsltproc and fop) that exists on most platforms. One visible

OTP-8277 In some rare cases the connection handler could enter an
infinite loop.
OTP-8278 If an SFTP server did not respond with EOF, the function
ssh_sftp:list_dir/2/3 would enter an infinite loop.
--- ssl-3.10.5 ----------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8224 Allow clients to not send certificates if option
<c>fail_if_no_peer_cert</c> was not set.
OTP-8244 <p>A ssl:ssl_accept/3 could crash a connection if the timing
was wrong.</p> <p>Removed info message if the socket closed
without a proper disconnect from the ssl layer. </p>
<p>ssl:send/2 is now blocking until the message is sent.</p>
--- ssl-3.10.6 ----------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8275 The ssl:ssl_accept/3 issue was not properly fixed in the
previous patch, see OTP-8244.
--- ssl-3.10.7 ----------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8218 A ticker process could potentially be blocked indefinitely
trying to send a tick to a node not responding. If this
happened, the connection would not be brought down as it
should.
OTP-8250 The documentation is now built with open source tools
(xsltproc and fop) that exists on most platforms. One visible
change is that the frames are removed.
OTP-8260 Code cleanup from Kostis.
--- stdlib-1.16.3.1 -----------------------------------------------------
OTP-8068 An erroneous type spec for <c>gen:start/6</c> caused dialyzer
to erroneously issue warnings when <c>{spawn_opt,
SpawnOptionList}</c> was passed in the option list to the
<c>gen_server</c> and <c>gen_fsm</c> start functions.
OTP-8261 Fixed emulator crash caused by crypto using an old openssl
version that did not cope with large file descriptors.
--- stdlib-1.16.4 -------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8201 The documentation is now built with open source tools
(xsltproc and fop) that exists on most platforms. One visible
change is that the frames are removed.
OTP-8215 [escript] The restriction that the first line in escripts
must begin with #! has been removed.
[escript] Some command line options to the escript executable
has now been documented. For example you can run an escript
in the debugger by just adding a command line option.
[escript] The documentation of the escript header syntax has
been clarified. For example the header is optional. This
means that it is possible to directly "execute" .erl, .beam
and.zip files.
OTP-8216 Optimized array:from_orddict/1, it is now faster and uses
less memory if the orddict was sparse.
Changed array:reset/2, it will now never expand the array
which it could before for non fixed arrays. See the
documentation.
OTP-8227 The Erlang Pretty Printer (erl_pp) now puts the leading [ of
list comprehensions as well as the leading << of bit string
comprehensions on a separate line in order to expose the
Cover counter of the template.
OTP-8232 The extension ".xrl" used for Leex input files is now
recognized by the compiler.
OTP-8255 Some clarifications have been made in the documentation
regarding gen_server, gen_fsm, and gen_event behavior when
handling 'EXIT' messages from the parent process. For more
information see the gen_server(3), gen_fsm(3), and
gen_event(3) documentation.
OTP-8295 The -on_load() directive can be used to run a function when a
module is loaded. It is documented in the section about code
loading in the Reference Manual.

change is that the frames are removed.
OTP-8284 It is now possible to fail a test case from the
end_per_testcase/2 function, by returning {fail,Reason}.
OTP-8285 It is now possible to fail a test case by having the end_tc/3
framework function return {fail,Reason} for the test case.
OTP-8286 The test_server framework API (e.g. the end_tc/3 function)
has been modified. See the test_server_ctrl documentation for
details.
OTP-8289 If the init_per_testcase/2 function fails, the test case now
gets marked and counted as auto skipped, not user skipped
(which would previously happen).
--- toolbar-1.4.1 -------------------------------------------------------

--- tools-2.6.5 ---------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8188 The coverage analysis tool cover has been improved when it
comes to handling list and bit string comprehensions (a
counter for each qualifier), bit syntax expressions (the
Value and Size expressions), and try expressions (the body
called Exprs in the Reference Manual). A few (not all)
situations where several expressions are put on the same line
are also handled better than before.
OTP-8201 The documentation is now built with open source tools
(xsltproc and fop) that exists on most platforms. One visible
change is that the frames are removed.
OTP-8210 Emacs erlang-mode improvements.
A lot of erlang compilation improvements from Tomas
Abrahamsson, two new options erlang-compile-erlang-function
and erlang-compile-extra-opts. Compilation splits the window
to two windows. Fixed next-error.
Applied patch from Victor Ren, which fixes how
erlang-templates are loaded so they don't interfere with
other modes.
Changed the font highlighting and improved indentation of try
catch after constructs, and various other fixes.
Added rudimentary support for type() and spec().
Added a large patch from Anders Dahlin which reworked when
indentation and the syntax highlighting.
OTP-8270 When loading Cover compiled code on remote nodes running code
in the loaded module, a badarg failure was sometimes the
result. This bug has been fixed.
OTP-8273 The short-circuit operators andalso and orelse are now
handled correctly by the coverage analysis tool cover (it is
no longer checked that the second argument returns a Boolean
value.)

thanks Nico Kruber.
--- xmerl-1.2.3 ---------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8251 A continuation clause of parse_reference/3 had it's
parameters in wrong order.
OTP-8252 A new option to turn off the parsing of an external DTD is
added to xmerl_sax_parser:file/2 and
xmerl_sax_parser:stream/2 (skip_external_dtd).
