patches to your installation using the 'otp_patch_apply' tool. For
information on install requirements, see descriptions for each
application version below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
--- HIGHLIGHTS ------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
OTP-12392 Application(s): ssl
Add upper limit for session cache, configurable on ssl
application level.
If upper limit is reached, invalidate the current cache
entries, e.i the session lifetime is the max time a
session will be keept, but it may be invalidated
earlier if the max limit for the table is reached. This
will keep the ssl manager process well behaved, not
exhusting memeory. Invalidating the entries will
incrementally empty the cache to make room for fresh
sessions entries.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
--- asn1-4.0.1 ------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The asn1-4.0.1 application can be applied independently of other
applications on a full OTP 18 installation.
--- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---
OTP-13149 Application(s): asn1
Trying to encode an empty named BIT STRING in BER would
fail with a function_clause exception. (Thanks to
Svilen Ivanov for reporting this bug.)

--- common_test-1.11.1 ----------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The common_test-1.11.1 application can be applied independently of
other applications on a full OTP 18 installation.
--- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---
OTP-13007 Application(s): common_test
When data from the netconf server was split into many
ssh packages, the netconf client performed really bad.
This is now improved.
OTP-13008 Application(s): common_test
In ct_netconfc, if a timer expired 'at the same time'
as the server sent the rpc-reply, the timeout message
might already be in the client's message queue when the
client removed the timer ref from its 'pending' list.
This caused a crash in the client since the timer ref
could no longer be found when handling the timeout
message. This problem is now fixed by always flushing
the timeout message from the message queue when
canceling a timer.
OTP-13035 Application(s): common_test
The error logger handler ct_conn_log_h did not respect
the 'silent' option, and tried to print to an undefined
file descriptor. This has been corrected.
OTP-13173 Application(s): common_test
Related Id(s): seq12978
If the user would let the test run proceed after test
suite compilation failure, Common Test did not set the
exit status to indicate failure as expected. This has
been corrected. Also, the 'abort_if_missing_suites'
option now makes Common Test abort the test run without
asking the user if compilation fails, even if access to
stdin/stdout exists.
OTP-13181 Application(s): common_test, test_server
With the Common Test 'create_priv_dir' start option set
to 'auto_per_tc', the name of the priv directory for a
configuration function could clash with the name of the
priv directory for a test case, which would cause Test
Server failure. This error has been corrected.

OTP-13137 Application(s): diameter
Fix request table leaks
The End-to-End and Hop-by-Hop identifiers of outgoing
Diameter requests are stored in a table in order for
the caller to be located when the corresponding answer
message is received. Entries were orphaned if the
handler was terminated by an exit signal as a
consequence of actions taken by callback functions, or
if callbacks modified identifiers in retransmission
cases.

field.
OTP-13068 Application(s): dialyzer, hipe
Reintroduce the erlang:make_fun/3 BIF in erl_bif_types.
OTP-13092 Application(s): hipe
In certain cases of matching with very big binaries,
the HiPE compiler generated code that would fail the
match, even in cases that the matching was successful.

Caching of host names in the internal DNS resolver
inet_res has been made character case insensitive for
host names according to RFC 4343.
OTP-13155 Application(s): kernel
Related Id(s): PR#646
Cooked file mode buffering has been fixed so
file:position/2 now works according to Posix on Posix
systems i.e. when file:position/2 returns an error the
file pointer is unaffected.
The Windows system documentation, however, is unclear
on this point so the documentation of file:position/2
still does not promise anything.
Cooked file mode file:pread/2,3 and file:pwrite/2,3
have been corrected to honor character encoding like
the combination of file:position/2 and file:read/2 or
file:write/2 already does. This is probably not very
useful since the character representation on the
caller's side is latin1, period.
--- Improvements and New Features ---
OTP-12837 Application(s): kernel
Add {line_delim, byte()} option to inet:setopts/2 and
decode_packet/3

OTP-13054 Application(s): public_key, ssh
Related Id(s): OTP-13052
There is now a file (public_key/priv/moduli) which
lists size-generator-modulus triples. The purpose is to
give servers the possibility to select the crypto
primes randomly among a list of pregenerated triples.
This reduces the risk for some attacks on
diffie-hellman negotiation.
See the reference manual for public_key:dh_gex_group/4
where the handling of this is described.
The ssh server (ssh:daemon) uses this.

OTP-12699 Application(s): ssh
Related Id(s): OTP-11688
Better error handling in ssh_file. There was some rare
errors when a NFS-mounted file was opened by ssh_file
and then remotely deleted during reading. That caused
an endless loop.
That bug is now fixed.
OTP-12759 Application(s): ssh
Fixed a bug in the compression algorithm
zlib@openssh.com.
OTP-12966 Application(s): ssh
Related Id(s): seq12945
It is now possible to start more than one daemon with a
file descriptor given in option fd. Each daemon must of
course have a unique file descriptor.
OTP-13029 Application(s): ssh
Fixed a bug that caused the option dh_gex_limit to be
ignored.
OTP-13158 Application(s): ssh
A problem is fixed with the ssh:connect option
pref_public_key_algs specifying user keys.
--- Improvements and New Features ---
OTP-12003 Application(s): ssh
Document updates in the ssh reference manual: app doc
file and ssh_connection.
OTP-12787 Application(s): ssh
The authorization phase is made stateful to prevent ssh
acting on messages sent in wrong order.
OTP-12792 Application(s): ssh
Related Id(s): #5214, 6166, Codenomicon
Testcases for bad message lengths and for bad subfield
lengths added.

OTP-12939 Application(s): ssh
The crypto algorithms 'aes192-ctr' and 'aes256-ctr' are
implemented. See RFC 4344.
OTP-13018 Application(s): ssh
The ciphers and macs AEAD_AES_128_GCM and
AEAD_AES_256_GCM are implemented but not enabled per
default. See the SSH App Reference Manual and RFC5647
for details.
The ciphers aes128-gcm@openssh.com and
aes256-gcm@openssh.com are also implemented and
available in the default configuration.
OTP-13052 Application(s): ssh
Related Id(s): OTP-13054
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.
OTP-13054 Application(s): public_key, ssh
Related Id(s): OTP-13052
There is now a file (public_key/priv/moduli) which
lists size-generator-modulus triples. The purpose is to
give servers the possibility to select the crypto
primes randomly among a list of pregenerated triples.
This reduces the risk for some attacks on

where the handling of this is described.
The ssh server (ssh:daemon) uses this.
OTP-13055 Application(s): ssh
Related Id(s): OTP-13053
The ssh:daemon option pwdfun now also takes a fun/4.
This enables the user to 1) check userid-password in
another way than the builtin algorithm, 2) implement
rate limiting per user or source IP or IP+Port, and 3)
implement blocking of missbehaving peers.
The old fun/2 still works as previously.
OTP-13066 Application(s): ssh
There is now a new option to make the server limit the
size range of moduli available for the diffie-hellman
group exchange negotiation. See option
{dh_gex_limits,{Min,Max}} in ssh:daemon/3.
OTP-13067 Application(s): ssh
Ecdh key exchange now validates compressed and
uncompressed keys as defined in rfc5656
OTP-13109 Application(s): ssh
Search order for the .ssh directory are changed so
$HOME is tried before init:get_argument(home).
OTP-13130 Application(s): ssh
The sftp receive window handling is optimized so it
will not update the remote end too often. This makes
"sftp mget" considerable faster.
OTP-13156 Application(s): ssh
The option key_cb is extended to take an optional list
that is passed to the callback module as an option.
With this it is possible to have different keys
depending on which host that is connected. Another
possibility is to write a callback module that fetches
keys etc from a database.

--- ssl-7.2 ---------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The ssl-7.2 application can be applied independently of other
applications on a full OTP 18 installation.
--- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---
OTP-12838 Application(s): ssl
Honor distribution port range options
OTP-13134 Application(s): ssl
Correct supervisor specification in TLS distribution.
OTP-13141 Application(s): ssl
Correct cache timeout
OTP-13144 Application(s): ssl
Avoid crash and restart of ssl process when key file
does not exist.
OTP-13166 Application(s): ssl
Enable passing of raw socket options on the format
{raw,_,_,_} to the underlying socket.
OTP-13189 Application(s): ssl
Hibernation with small or a zero timeout will now work
as expected
--- Improvements and New Features ---
OTP-12392 Application(s): ssl
*** HIGHLIGHT ***
Add upper limit for session cache, configurable on ssl
application level.
If upper limit is reached, invalidate the current cache
entries, e.i the session lifetime is the max time a
session will be keept, but it may be invalidated
earlier if the max limit for the table is reached. This
will keep the ssl manager process well behaved, not
exhusting memeory. Invalidating the entries will
incrementally empty the cache to make room for fresh
sessions entries.
OTP-12457 Application(s): ssl
Use new time functions to measure passed time.
OTP-13142 Application(s): ssl
Improved error handling in TLS distribution
OTP-13143 Application(s): ssl
Distribution over TLS now honors the nodelay
distribution flag

--- stdlib-2.7 ------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Note! The stdlib-2.7 application can *not* be applied independently
of other applications on an arbitrary OTP 18 installation.
On a full OTP 18 installation, also the following runtime
dependencies have to be satisfied:
-- kernel-4.1 (first satisfied in OTP 18.1)
-- sasl-2.6 (first satisfied in OTP 18.1)
--- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---
OTP-13084 Application(s): stdlib
The Erlang Pretty Printer uses :: for function type
constraints.
A bug concerning pretty printing of annotated type
union elements in map pair types has been fixed.
Some minor issues regarding the documentation of types
and specs have been corrected.
OTP-13145 Application(s): stdlib
The shell command rp prints strings as lists of
integers if pretty printing of lists is set to false.
OTP-13157 Application(s): stdlib
The shell would crash if a bit syntax expression with
conflicting types were given (e.g. if a field type was
given as 'integer-binary'). (Thanks to Aleksei Magusev
for reporting this bug.)
OTP-13162 Application(s): stdlib
The rand:export_seed/0 would never return 'undefined'
even if no seed has previously been created. Fixed to
return 'undefined' if there is no seed in the process
dictionary.
--- Improvements and New Features ---
OTP-13032 Application(s): stdlib
Add support for the Delete, Home and End keys in the
Erlang shell.
OTP-13063 Application(s): stdlib
beam_lib:all_chunks/1 and beam_lib:build_module/1 have
been documented.

--- test_server-3.9.1 -----------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The test_server-3.9.1 application can be applied independently of
other applications on a full OTP 18 installation.
--- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---
OTP-13015 Application(s): test_server
When generating Makefile from Makefile.src,
ts_lib:get_arg/4 earlier removed all spaces in the
extracted argument. The code was probably meant for
removing leading and trailing spaces only, and is now
corrected to do so.
OTP-13181 Application(s): common_test, test_server
With the Common Test 'create_priv_dir' start option set
to 'auto_per_tc', the name of the priv directory for a
configuration function could clash with the name of the
priv directory for a test case, which would cause Test
Server failure. This error has been corrected.

--- wx-1.6 ----------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The wx-1.6 application can be applied independently of other
applications on a full OTP 18 installation.
--- Improvements and New Features ---
OTP-13160 Application(s): wx
Add wxOverlay and make wxPostScripDC optional to make
it easier to build on windows.
Correct some function specifications.
The driver implementation have been optimized and now
invokes commands after events have been sent to erlang.
