OTP-8325 to_erl will now include the system error string in error
messages to make it easier to understand what the real
problem is. (Thanks to Magnus Henoch.)
OTP-8449 Documentation improvements.
The most important "readme" files now use Markdown notation.
HTML versions of these files are now also automatically
generated and included in the HTML documentation.
- Building and Installing Erlang/OTP - $ERL_TOP/INSTALL.md
(previously known as $ERL_TOP/README).
- Cross Compiling Erlang/OTP - $ERL_TOP/INSTALL-CROSS.md.
- How to Build Erlang/OTP on Windows -
$ERL_TOP/INSTALL-WIN32.md (previously known as
$ERL_TOP/README.win32).
--- appmon-2.1.11 -------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8343 The documentation is now possible to build in an open source
environment after a number of bugs are fixed and some
features are added in the documentation build process.
- The arity calculation is updated.
- The module prefix used in the function names for bif's are
removed in the generated links so the links will look like
"http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#append_element-2"
instead of
"http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#erlang:append_elem
ent-2".
- Enhanced the menu positioning in the html documentation
when a new page is loaded.
- A number of corrections in the generation of man pages
(thanks to Sergei Golovan)
- The legal notice is taken from the xml book file so OTP's
build process can be used for non OTP applications.
--- asn1-1.6.13 ---------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8323 Cross compilation improvements and other build system
improvements.
Most notable:
Lots of cross compilation improvements. The old cross
compilation support was more or less non-existing as well as
broken. Please, note that the cross compilation support
should still be considered as experimental. Also note that
old cross compilation configurations cannot be used without
modifications. For more information on cross compiling
Erlang/OTP see the $ERL_TOP/INSTALL-CROSS.md file.
Support for staged install using DESTDIR. The old broken
INSTALL_PREFIX has also been fixed. For more information see
the $ERL_TOP/INSTALL.md file.
Documentation of the release target of the top Makefile. For
more information see the $ERL_TOP/INSTALL.md file.
make install now by default creates relative symbolic links
instead of absolute ones. For more information see the
$ERL_TOP/INSTALL.md file.
$ERL_TOP/configure --help=recursive now works and prints help
for all applications with configure scripts.
Doing make install, or make release directly after make all
no longer triggers miscellaneous rebuilds.
Existing bootstrap system is now used when doing make
install, or make release without a preceding make all.
The crypto and ssl applications use the same runtime library
path when dynamically linking against libssl.so and
libcrypto.so. The runtime library search path has also been
extended.
The configure scripts of erl_interface and odbc now search
for thread libraries and thread library quirks the same way
as erts do.
The configure script of the odbc application now also looks
for odbc libraries in lib64 and lib/64 directories when
building on a 64-bit system.
The config.h.in file in the erl_interface application is now
automatically generated in instead of statically updated
which reduces the risk of configure tests without any effect.
(Thanks to Henrik Riomar for suggestions and testing)
(Thanks to Winston Smith for the AVR32-Linux cross
configuration and testing)
OTP-8451 Harmless buffer overflow by one byte in asn1 and
ram_file_drv.
OTP-8453 Add support for prefixing macro names generated by the
compiler
This is useful when multiple protocols that contains macros
with identical names are included in a single module.
Add the missing record_name_prefix compiler option to the
documentation.
OTP-8455 Cleanups suggested by tidier and modernization of types and
specs.
OTP-8463 Support for EXTENSIBILITY IMPLIED and SET/SEQ OF NamedType is
added.
--- common_test-1.4.7 ---------------------------------------------------
OTP-8343 The documentation is now possible to build in an open source
environment after a number of bugs are fixed and some
features are added in the documentation build process.
- The arity calculation is updated.
- The module prefix used in the function names for bif's are
removed in the generated links so the links will look like

ent-2".
- Enhanced the menu positioning in the html documentation
when a new page is loaded.
- A number of corrections in the generation of man pages
(thanks to Sergei Golovan)
- The legal notice is taken from the xml book file so OTP's
build process can be used for non OTP applications.
OTP-8379 It is now possible to include the ct.hrl using the
-include_lib directive. (Thanks to Fred Hebert.)
OTP-8396 The auto compilation feature of Common Test did not recognize
if a header file included in a test suite was modified (if
the dir start flag/option was used). This has been fixed.
OTP-8450 The telnet client in Common Test sent [IAC,DO,NOP] to the
server in attempt to keep the connection alive. This is not a
valid sequence according to the standard, and some telnet
servers would terminate the connection because of it. The
client has been changed to send [IAC,NOP] every 10 secs
instead, which should be a valid sequence. The client does
not negotiate this type of "keep alive" message with the
server, and if it causes problems, the user may disable the
keep alive feature by adding {keep_alive,false} to the telnet
configuration data for the server/connection. Please see the
ct_telnet and unix_telnet manual pages for details.
--- compiler-4.6.5 ------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8338 Using complex boolean expressions in ifs could cause the
compiler to either crash or teminate with an internal error.
(Thanks to Simon Cornish.)
OTP-8339 The expected return value for an on_load function has been
changed. (See the section about code loading in the Reference
manual.)
OTP-8378 In rare circumstances when using garbaging collecting guard
BIFs, the validation pass (beam_validator) would signal that
the code was unsafe, when it in fact was correct. (Thanks to
Kiran Khaladkar.)
OTP-8382 The -Werror option for erlc and the compiler option
warnings_as_errors will cause warnings to be treated as
errors. (Thanks to Christopher Faulet.)
OTP-8388 Macros overloading has been implemented. (Thanks to
Christopher Faulet.)
OTP-8447 Bit string comprehensions can now be used in parameterized
modules. (Thanks to Jebu Ittiachen.)

--- debugger-3.2.2 ------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8310 Bugs have been fixed in the evaluation of comprehensions and
short-circuit expressions in guards.
OTP-8346 Miscellaneous corrections of the WX version of the debugger.
--- dialyzer-2.2.0 ------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8464 Much better support for opaque types (thanks to Manouk
Manoukian).
Added support for recursive types (experimental).
Added support for parameterized modules.
Dialyzer now warns when -specs state that a function returns
some type when in fact it does not.
Added --no_native (-nn) option so that the user can bypass
the native code compilation that dialyzer heuristically
performs when dialyzing many files.
Fixed minor bug in the dialyzer script allowing the --wx
option to bring up the wx-based GUI regardless of its
placement in the options list.
Options --apps and -Wrace_conditions, which were added in the
previous version, are now properly documented in the manual.

--- erl_docgen-0.2 ------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8308 Added an xsl transform from OTP xml documentation to a file
(.eix) of erlang terms that can be read by the erldoc
application. Erldoc handles the documentation search
mechanism at erlang.org. Added generation of eix files to
otp_release_targets.mk. Fixed a copyright date error in

--- erl_interface-3.6.5 -------------------------------------------------
OTP-5037 Document debug support.
Debug trace output for connection activity could be enabled
setting the trace level as an integer to the EI_TRACELEVEL
environment variable. This option could also be read and set
from a running program using ei_get_tracelevel(void) and
ei_set_tracelevel(int).

and erl_eterm.xml.
OTP-8400 Allow erl_match() to match ERL_LONGLONG and ERL_U_LONGLONG
terms (Thanks to Scott Lystig Fritchie).
--- erts-5.7.5 ----------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8240 Improved GC performance after BIF/NIF call when a lot of heap
fragments was created. This will mainly benefit NIFs that
return large compound terms.
OTP-8304 Incompatible changes in the experimental NIF feature.
Changed the NIF function prototypes in order to allow more
than 3 function arguments.
enif_get_data renamed as enif_priv_data.
enif_make_string got a third argument for character encoding.
The return value of erlang:load_nif/2 on error changed.
Read more in the documentation of erl_nif and

OTP-8335 NIF improvements:
Driver API for multi-threading made available for NIFs.
Support for mempory managed (garbage collected) resource
objects. A way to pass "pointers" to native data structures
between C and Erlang in a safe way.
Support for references, floats and term comparison.
Various new functions, like enif_inspect_iolist_as_binary,
enif_make_sub_binary, enif_get_string, enif_get_atom,
enif_make_tuple_from_array, enif_make_list_from_array,
enif_make_existing_atom.
OTP-8336 Fix binary_to_term crash on compressed term with corrupt size
field.
OTP-8341 Minor alignment adjustments of scheduler specific data.
OTP-8342 Processes and/or ports could get stuck on a blocked scheduler
when erlang:system_flag(multi_scheduling, block) was used.
Processes and/or ports could get stuck on an offline
scheduler when schedulers online were reduced using
erlang:system_flag(schedulers_online, SchedulersOnline).
OTP-8343 The documentation is now possible to build in an open source
environment after a number of bugs are fixed and some
features are added in the documentation build process.

ent-2".
- Enhanced the menu positioning in the html documentation
when a new page is loaded.
- A number of corrections in the generation of man pages
(thanks to Sergei Golovan)
- The legal notice is taken from the xml book file so OTP's
build process can be used for non OTP applications.
OTP-8345 Building on Windows will now work if the paths to mc.exe and
rc.exe contain spaces. The README.win32 file has been updated
with some information about building using Visual Studio
2008. (Thanks to Andrew Thompson.)
OTP-8361 EPMD now correctly handles the extra data field which can be
given in the ALIVE2_REQ request and retrieved in the
PORT2_RESP response. (Thanks to Klas Johansson.)
OTP-8367 There is new erlang:binary_to_term/2 BIF that takes an option
list. The option safe can be used to prevent creation of
resources that are not garbage collected (such as atoms).
(Thanks to Jayson Vantuyl.)
OTP-8368 The configure test for reliable floating point exceptions has
been update to work on modern versions of Mac OS X. (Thanks
to Trannie Carter.)
OTP-8370 The default settings for garbage collection of binaries has
been adjusted to be less aggressive than in R13B03. It is now
also possible configure the settings for binary GC. See the
documentation for spawn_opt/2-5, erlang:system_info/1,
erlang:system_flag/2, process_flag/2-3, erlang:trace/3, and
the documenation for erl for the new command line options
+hms and +hmbs.
OTP-8373 ERTS makefiles used to detect the use of a gcc C compiler by
checking if CC equaled gcc. That is, the makefiles failed to
detect gcc C compilers with other command line names than
gcc. `configure' now substitute GCC into the makefiles. If CC
is a gcc C compiler, GCC will have the value yes. (Thanks to
Jean-Sébastien Pédron)
OTP-8375 A bug causing memory corruption in re:run() has been
corrected. (Thanks to Yamashina Hio.)
OTP-8377 ETS bug causing the memory counter from ets:info for
ordered_set's to sometimes get out of synch and absurdly
high.
OTP-8382 The -Werror option for erlc and the compiler option
warnings_as_errors will cause warnings to be treated as
errors. (Thanks to Christopher Faulet.)
OTP-8386 Immediately repeated multi-scheduling block/unblock cycles
using erlang:system_flag(multi_scheduling, block | unblock)
could deadlock the runtime system.
OTP-8387 Explicit top directories in archive files are now optional.
For example, if an archive (app-vsn.ez) just contains an
app-vsn/ebin/mod.beam file, the file info for the app-vsn and
app-vsn/ebin directories are faked using the file info from
the archive file as origin. The virtual direcories can also
be listed. For short, the top directories are virtual if they
does not exist.
OTP-8390 An unnecessary lock operation in os:timestamp/0 has been
eliminated, making it slightly more efficient. (Thanks to
Jonas Falkevik and Tuncer Ayaz.)
OTP-8394 A number of bugs concerning re and unicode are corrected:
re:compile no longer looses unicode option, which also fixes
bug in re:split.
re:replace now handles unicode charlist replacement argument
re:replace now handles unicode RE charlist argument correctly
re:replace now handles binary unicode output correctly when
nothing is replaced.
Most code, testcases and error isolation done by Rory Byrne.
OTP-8397 The loading of native code was not properly atomic in the SMP
emulator, which could cause crashes. Also a per-MFA
information table for the native code has now been protected
with a lock since it turns that it could be accessed
concurrently in the SMP emulator. (Thanks to Mikael
Pettersson.)
OTP-8405 There is a new +t emulator option for changing the maximum
number of atoms. (Thanks to Julien Barbot.)
OTP-8412 Fixed numerous compiler warnings generated by gcc 4.4.1 and
tile-cc 2.0.1.78377 when compiling the runtime system.
OTP-8415 configure learned the option --enable-m32-build to force the
building of a 32-bit run-time on systems where the default C
compiler generates 64-bit executables by default.
OTP-8416 HiPE now works in the 64-bit emulator on Mac OS X. (Thanks to
Geoff Cant.)
OTP-8417 Improved handling of symbolic links to escripts
OTP-8420 Fix processes in exiting status that are about to be
scheduled, to not be allowed to garbage collect.
OTP-8422 Removed bogus "\011" character sequence in documentation.
OTP-8424 Add lock profiling tool.
The Lock profiling tool, lcnt, can make use of the internal
lock statistics when the runtime system is built with this
feature enabled.
This provides a mechanism to examine potential lock
bottlenecks within the runtime itself.
- Add erts_debug:lock_counters({copy_save, bool()}). This
option enables or disables statistics saving for destroyed
processes and ets-tables. Enabling this might consume a lot
of memory.
- Add id-numbering for lock classes which is otherwise
undefined.
OTP-8426 The resolver routines failed to look up the own node name as
hostname, if the OS native resolver was erroneously
configured, bug reported by Yogish Baliga, now fixed.
The resolver routines now tries to parse the hostname as an
IP string as most OS resolvers do, unless the native resolver
is used.
The DNS resolver inet_res and file resolver inet_hosts now do
not read OS configuration files until they are needed. Since
the native resolver is default, in most cases they are never
needed.
The DNS resolver's automatic updating of OS configuration
file data (/etc/resolv.conf) now uses the 'domain' keyword as
default search domain if there is no 'search' keyword.
OTP-8427 Removed spurious options to the emulator from escript.
OTP-8438 The re module: A regular expression with an option change at
the start of a pattern that had top-level alternatives could
cause overwriting and/or a crash. (Thanks to Michael Santos.)
OTP-8451 Harmless buffer overflow by one byte in asn1 and
ram_file_drv.
OTP-8457 Minor documentation fixes. Mainly anchor adjustments.
--- et-1.4 --------------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8058 The GUI parts are rewritten to use wxWidgets. Thanks Olle
Mattsson!
For the time being it is still possible to use the old GS
based version of the tool, but it is deprecated. The
wxWidgets based version is started by default.
A new tutorial has been added to the documentation. It is
based on Jayson Vantuyl's article
http://souja.net/2009/04/making-sense-of-erlangs-event-tracer
.html.
The functions et:trace_me/4 and et:trace_me/5 has been
introduced in order to replace the deprecated functions
et:report_event/4 and et:report_event/5. Hopefully the new
names makes it a little more obvious what the intended usage
of the functions are.
A print function has been added to the GUI, in order to
enable printing of sequence charts.
More functionality for hiding unwanted events has been added
to the GUI.
The max_events, hide_unknown and display_mode configuration
parameters to et_viewer is not used any more. Now the event
cache in the Viewer only contains those events that actually
are displayed in the GUI.
Some minor bugs has been fixed. Such as a cleaning up trace

OTP-8343 The documentation is now possible to build in an open source
environment after a number of bugs are fixed and some
features are added in the documentation build process.
- The arity calculation is updated.
- The module prefix used in the function names for bif's are
removed in the generated links so the links will look like
"http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#append_element-2"
instead of
"http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#erlang:append_elem
ent-2".
- Enhanced the menu positioning in the html documentation
when a new page is loaded.
- A number of corrections in the generation of man pages
(thanks to Sergei Golovan)
- The legal notice is taken from the xml book file so OTP's
build process can be used for non OTP applications.

--- ic-4.2.24 -----------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8307 The option c_timeout was not correctly documented.
OTP-8353 Removed superfluous VT in the documentation.
OTP-8354 Removed superfluous backslash in the documentation.
OTP-8355 The documentation EIX file was not generated.
--- inets-5.3 -----------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8016 [httpc] Several more or less critical fixes: * Initial call
between the httpc manager and request handler was
synchronous. When the manager starts a new request handler,
this is no longer a synchronous operation. Previously, the
new request handler made the connection to the server and
issuing of the first request (the reason for starting it) in
the gen_server init function. If the connection for some
reason "took some time", the manager hanged, leaving all
other activities by that manager also hanging. As a
side-effect of these changes, some modules was also renamed,
and a new api module, httpc, has been introduced (the old
module, http, is *not* removed, but is now just wrapper for
httpc).
OTP-8056 [httpc] Added basic sanity check of option value
combinations.
OTP-8103 [httpd] Methods "PUT" and "DELETE" now allowed.
OTP-8106 [httpc] It is now possible to configure the client to deliver
an async reply another process than the one making the
request call.
OTP-8315 Fixed some minor problems reported by Dialyzer.
OTP-8327 Fixing various documentation-related bugs.
OTP-8349 Include the inets test suite in the release of the
application.
OTP-8351 http_chunk data handling/passing improvement. This is a
modification to the http_chunk module to forward any full
chunk received, regardless of whether the size field for the
following chunk has been received yet. This allows http_chunk
to be used in situations where a long term HTTP connection is
used to send periodic status updates as individual chunks.
Previously a given chunk would not be forwarded to the client
process until the size for the next chunk had been read which
rendered the module difficult to use for the scenario
described.
OTP-8352 [httpc] Allow users to pass socket options to the transport
module when making requests. See the socket_opts option of
the httpc:request/4,5 function for more info.
OTP-8359 [httpd] The server did not fully support the documented
module callback api. Specifically, the load function should
be able to return the atom ok, but this was not accepted.
OTP-8371 [httpc] Fix bug crafting Host header when port is not 80. The
host header should include the port number as well as the
host name when making a request to a server listening on a
port other than the HTTP default of 80. Currently, only the
host name is included. This is important to make the http
client more compliant with the HTTP specification.

--- kernel-2.13.5 -------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8339 The expected return value for an on_load function has been
changed. (See the section about code loading in the Reference
manual.)
OTP-8358 A race bug affecting pg2:get_local_members/1 has been fixed.
The bug was introduced in R13B03.
OTP-8387 Explicit top directories in archive files are now optional.
For example, if an archive (app-vsn.ez) just contains an
app-vsn/ebin/mod.beam file, the file info for the app-vsn and
app-vsn/ebin directories are faked using the file info from
the archive file as origin. The virtual direcories can also
be listed. For short, the top directories are virtual if they
does not exist.
OTP-8397 The loading of native code was not properly atomic in the SMP
emulator, which could cause crashes. Also a per-MFA
information table for the native code has now been protected
with a lock since it turns that it could be accessed
concurrently in the SMP emulator. (Thanks to Mikael
Pettersson.)
OTP-8413 code:clash/0 now looks inside archives (.ez files). (Thanks
to Tuncer Ayaz.)
OTP-8414 There are new gen_sctp:connect_init/* functions that initiate
an SCTP connection without blocking for the result. The
result is delivered asynchronously as an sctp_assoc_change
event. (Thanks to Simon Cornish.)
OTP-8418 user.erl (used in oldshell) is updated to handle unicode in
prompt strings (io:get_line/{1,2}). io_lib is also updated to
format prompts with the 't' modifier (i.e. ~ts instead of
~s).
OTP-8426 The resolver routines failed to look up the own node name as
hostname, if the OS native resolver was erroneously
configured, bug reported by Yogish Baliga, now fixed.
The resolver routines now tries to parse the hostname as an
IP string as most OS resolvers do, unless the native resolver
is used.
The DNS resolver inet_res and file resolver inet_hosts now do
not read OS configuration files until they are needed. Since
the native resolver is default, in most cases they are never
needed.
The DNS resolver's automatic updating of OS configuration
file data (/etc/resolv.conf) now uses the 'domain' keyword as
default search domain if there is no 'search' keyword.
--- megaco-3.14 ---------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8317 Fixed some Dialyzer detected problems.
OTP-8323 Cross compilation improvements and other build system
improvements.
Most notable:
Lots of cross compilation improvements. The old cross
compilation support was more or less non-existing as well as
broken. Please, note that the cross compilation support
should still be considered as experimental. Also note that
old cross compilation configurations cannot be used without
modifications. For more information on cross compiling
Erlang/OTP see the $ERL_TOP/INSTALL-CROSS.md file.
Support for staged install using DESTDIR. The old broken
INSTALL_PREFIX has also been fixed. For more information see
the $ERL_TOP/INSTALL.md file.
Documentation of the release target of the top Makefile. For
more information see the $ERL_TOP/INSTALL.md file.
make install now by default creates relative symbolic links
instead of absolute ones. For more information see the
$ERL_TOP/INSTALL.md file.
$ERL_TOP/configure --help=recursive now works and prints help
for all applications with configure scripts.
Doing make install, or make release directly after make all
no longer triggers miscellaneous rebuilds.
Existing bootstrap system is now used when doing make
install, or make release without a preceding make all.
The crypto and ssl applications use the same runtime library
path when dynamically linking against libssl.so and
libcrypto.so. The runtime library search path has also been
extended.
The configure scripts of erl_interface and odbc now search
for thread libraries and thread library quirks the same way
as erts do.
The configure script of the odbc application now also looks
for odbc libraries in lib64 and lib/64 directories when
building on a 64-bit system.
The config.h.in file in the erl_interface application is now
automatically generated in instead of statically updated
which reduces the risk of configure tests without any effect.
(Thanks to Henrik Riomar for suggestions and testing)
(Thanks to Winston Smith for the AVR32-Linux cross
configuration and testing)
OTP-8328 Callbacks, when the callback module is unknown (undefined),
results in warning messages. A raise condition scenario. As
part of a cancelation operation, replies with waiting
acknowledgements is cancelled. This includes informing the
user (via a call to the handle_trans_ack callback function).
It is possible that at this point the connection data has
been removed, which causes makes it impossible for megaco to
perform this operation, resulting in the warning message. The
solution is to also store the callback module with the other
reply information, to be used when cleaning up after a
cancelation.
OTP-8362 Added a help target in the test Makefile to explain the most
useful make targets, used when testing the application using
the test-server provided with megaco
OTP-8403 Adapted megaco_filter to the new internal format.
--- mnesia-4.4.13 -------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8402 Transactions could be left hanging if a node went down when
invoking mnesia:sync_transaction/[1,2]. Thanks Igor Ribeiro
Sucupira.
OTP-8406 Igor Ribeiro Sucupira added the option to compress data when
copying tables between Mnesia nodes.

--- sasl-2.1.9 ----------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8443 The re:grep/1 function now uses the 're' module instead of
the deprecated 'regexp' module. There are new functions
rb:filter/1 and rb:filter/2 for easier filtering of reports.
(Thanks to Alvaro Videla.)
OTP-8445 There is new function sasl_report:format_report/3 that works
like the existing sasl_report:write_report/3 function except
that it returns a formatted string. Note that there is
currently no documentation for the sasl_report module.
(Thanks to Jay Nelson.)
OTP-8455 Cleanups suggested by tidier and modernization of types and
specs.
--- snmp-4.16 -----------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8395 [agent|manager] Entries in the audit trail log can now be
augmented by a sequence number. This is enabled by the seqno
option, which is part of the Audit Trail Log config option.
See the reference manual or the "Configuring the application"
chapter of the User's Guide for further info.
OTP-8433 The config utility (snmp:config/0) generated a default
notify.conf with a bad name for the starndard trap entry (was
"stadard trap", but should have been "standard trap"). This
has been corrected.
OTP-8442 [manager] Registration of agents using the config file,
agents.conf, does not work. This has now been corrected.
--- ssh-1.1.8 -----------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8356 Old release notes removed.
OTP-8401 In some cases SSH ceased to collect more data from the
transport layer.
--- ssl-3.10.8 ----------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: SSL (new_ssl) requires public_key-0.5.
OTP-8441 ssl:send/2 ignored packet option, fix provided by YAMASHINA
Hio.
Fixed a file cache bug which caused problems when the same
file was used for both cert and cacert.
Allow ssl:listen/2 to be called with option {ssl_imp, old}.
Fixed ssl:setopts(Socket, binary) which didn't work for 'new'
ssl..
OTP-8459 Do a controlled shutdown if a non ssl packet arrives as the
first packet.
--- stdlib-1.16.5 -------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8324 The ability for the gen_server and gen_fsm callback modules
to format their own state for display under the
sys:get_status/1,2 calls has been restored and documented.
(Thanks to Steve Vinoski.)
OTP-8337 c:nc/{1,2} used to assume that the beam file was created in
the same directory as the source code and failed to load the
code if it was not. Corrected to look for the beam file in
the current directory or in the directory specified by the
{outdir,Dir} option. (Thanks to Alex Suraci.)

be listed. For short, the top directories are virtual if they
does not exist.
OTP-8388 Macros overloading has been implemented. (Thanks to

OTP-8389 Because of a race condition, using filelib:ensure_dir/1 from
multiple processes to create the same path or parts of the
same directory structure, filelib:ensure_dir/1 could return a
meaningless {error,eexist}. That race condition has been
eliminated, and {error,eexist} will now be returned only if
there exists a regular file, device file, or some other
non-directory file with the same name. (Thanks to Tuncer
Ayaz.)
OTP-8393 The new function shell:prompt_func/1 and the new application
configuration parameter shell_prompt_func can be used for
customizing the Erlang shell prompt.
OTP-8394 A number of bugs concerning re and unicode are corrected:
re:compile no longer looses unicode option, which also fixes
bug in re:split.
re:replace now handles unicode charlist replacement argument
re:replace now handles unicode RE charlist argument correctly
re:replace now handles binary unicode output correctly when
nothing is replaced.
Most code, testcases and error isolation done by Rory Byrne.
OTP-8397 The loading of native code was not properly atomic in the SMP
emulator, which could cause crashes. Also a per-MFA
information table for the native code has now been protected
with a lock since it turns that it could be accessed

OTP-8434 Improved handling of typed records in escripts
OTP-8436 Added supervisor:count_children/1 to count the number of
children being managed without the memory impact of
which_children/1. (Thanks to Jay Nelson.)
OTP-8438 The re module: A regular expression with an option change at
the start of a pattern that had top-level alternatives could
cause overwriting and/or a crash. (Thanks to Michael Santos.)

OTP-8458 The Test Server parse transform did not handle bit string
comprehensions. This has been fixed.
--- tools-2.6.5.1 -------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8340 A bug concerning bit comprehensions has been fixed in Cover.
The bug was introduced in R13B03. (Thanks to Matthew
Sackman.)
OTP-8424 Add lock profiling tool.
The Lock profiling tool, lcnt, can make use of the internal
lock statistics when the runtime system is built with this
feature enabled.
This provides a mechanism to examine potential lock
bottlenecks within the runtime itself.
- Add erts_debug:lock_counters({copy_save, bool()}). This
option enables or disables statistics saving for destroyed
processes and ets-tables. Enabling this might consume a lot
of memory.
- Add id-numbering for lock classes which is otherwise
undefined.

OTP-8455 Cleanups suggested by tidier and modernization of types and
specs.
OTP-8461 Fixed a memory reference bug which caused unexplained
{badarg, Int} exits when running multiple wx applications.
OTP-8462 Changed representation of wxTreeItem to be an integer. This
saves memory, where the driver do not need to keep a object
reference to each tree item.
