---------------------------------------------------------------------
--- HIGHLIGHTS ------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
OTP-13363 Application(s): ssl
Use application:ensure_all_started/2 instead of
hard-coding dependencies
---------------------------------------------------------------------
--- asn1-4.0.2 ------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The asn1-4.0.2 application can be applied independently of other
applications on a full OTP 18 installation.
--- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---
OTP-13257 Application(s): asn1
When compiling to the PER format, the ASN.1 compiler
would crash when attempting to compile an ASN.1 module
with a constrained INTEGER with more than 65536 values
and named values. (Thanks to Ingars for reporting this
bug.)
OTP-13324 Application(s): asn1
The ASN.1 compiler will now emit Dialyzer suppressions
for improper lists. Thus, there is no longer any need
to use --Wno_improper_lists when analyzing modules
generated by the ASN.1 compiler.

stdlib-2.0
---------------------------------------------------------------------
--- common_test-1.12 ------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The common_test-1.12 application can be applied independently of
other applications on a full OTP 18 installation.
--- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---
OTP-13003 Application(s): common_test
Related Id(s): seq13005
This update fixes the problem with generic printouts in
the html log file not having special characters
escaped. Printouts made with io:format/2 and ct:pal/2
will now get special characters escaped automatically.
Common Test will not attempt to escape characters
printed with ct:log/2 since it is assumed that the user
may want to print html tagged data using this function.
A new function, ct:log/5, has been added, which offers
optional escaping of characters. The latter function
may also be used to print text to the log without
headers and CSS class wrapping (analogue to
io:format/2).
OTP-13386 Application(s): common_test
Commit 4cf832f1ad163f5b25dd8a6f2d314c169c23c82f
erroneously removed logging of open and close of
netconf connections. This is now corrected.
OTP-13388 Application(s): common_test, test_server
The directory to which nodes started with
test_server:start_node/3 writes their erl_crash.dump is
changed. The crashdumps were earlier written to the
directory of test_server.beam, but in later versions of
Microsoft Windows this is no longer writable (even for
administrators). The framework (common_test) log
directory is now used instead.
--- Improvements and New Features ---
OTP-13241 Application(s): common_test
Related Id(s): seq12979
This update makes it possible to specify multiple
instances of the same group or test case in one test
specification term in order to repeat execution.
Example: {groups, "./", my_SUITE, [my_group, my_group],
{cases, all}}, or {cases, "./", my_SUITE, [my_tc,
my_tc, my_tc]}.
OTP-13242 Application(s): common_test, test_server
Related Id(s): seq12991
Two new CT hook functions have been added:
post_init_per_testcase/4 and pre_end_per_testcase/3.
With these hook functions, it is possible to perform
arbitrary actions (including modifications of test
execution, test state and results) immediately before
and after the execution of the test case.
OTP-13338 Application(s): common_test
Related Id(s): seq13053, seq13069
The ct_netconfc was earlier very restrictive as to
which SSH options the user could set. This is now
changed, and any SSH option is now allowed. The netconf
client will simply pass on any option, which it does
not recognize, to SSH.

Literal maps could cause Dialyzer to crash when pretty
printing the results.
OTP-13287 Application(s): dialyzer
If a behavior module contains an non-exported function
with the same name as one of the behavior's callbacks,
the callback info was inadvertently deleted from the
PLT as the dialyzer_plt:delete_list/2 function was
cleaning up the callback table.

Make peer handling more efficient.
Inefficient lookup and manipulation of peer lists could
result in poor performance when many outgoing requests
were sent simultaneously, or when many peers connected
simultaneously. Filtering peer lists on realm/host is
now also more efficient in many cases.
OTP-13342 Application(s): diameter
Fix handling of shared peer connections in watchdog
state SUSPECT.
A peer connection shared from a remote node was
regarded as being up for the lifetime of the
connection, ignoring watchdog transitions into state
SUSPECT.

OTP-13060 Application(s): erts
The '-path' flag to 'erl' has been documented. This
flag replaces the path specified in the boot script. It
has always existed, but was earlier only documented in
SASL (script).
OTP-13216 Application(s): erts
The call_time tracing functionality internally used a
time based on OS system time in order to measure call
time which could cause erroneous results if OS system
time was changed during tracing.
This functionality now use Erlang monotonic time in
order to measure time. Besides fixing the erroneous
results due to OS system time being used, the results
are often also better since Erlang monotonic time often
has better accuracy and precision.
OTP-13220 Application(s): erts
Fix behaviour of -delay_write command line switch of
epmd, which is used for debugging - in some cases epmd
was sleeping twice the requested amount of time.
OTP-13245 Application(s): erts
Fix race between timeout and exit signal that could
cause a process to ignore the exit signal and continue
execution. Bug exist since OTP 18.0.
OTP-13251 Application(s): erts
Related Id(s): ERL-49
Fix bug in erlang:halt/1,2 for large exit status
values, causing either badarg (on 32-bit) or exit with
a crash dump and/or core dump (on 64-bit). Make
erlang:halt/1,2 tolerate any non negative integer as
exit status and truncate high order bits if the OS does
not support it.
OTP-13254 Application(s): erts, kernel
Related Id(s): OTP-11997, OTP-13222
gen_tcp:accept/2 was not time warp safe. This since it
used the same time as returned by erlang:now/0 when
calculating timeout. This has now been fixed.
OTP-13270 Application(s): erts
Fix faulty error handling when writing to a compressed
file.
OTP-13271 Application(s): erts

instead of abort.
OTP-13298 Application(s): erts
Related Id(s): OTP-11388
When calling garbage_collect/[1,2] or
check_process_code/[2,3] from a process with a higher
priority than the priority of the process operated on,
the run queues could end up in an inconsistent state.
This bug has now been fixed.
OTP-13326 Application(s): erts
Related Id(s): ERL-80
A workaround for an issue with older gcc versions (less
than 5) and inline assembly on 32-bit x86 caused an
emulator crash when it had been compiled with a newer
gcc version. An improved configure test, run when
building OTP, now detects whether the workaround should
be used or not.
--- Improvements and New Features ---
OTP-13201 Application(s): erts
Introduced new statistics functionality in order to
more efficiently retrieve information about run able
and active processes and ports. For more information

-- statistics(total_active_tasks)
-- statistics(active_tasks)
OTP-13222 Application(s): erts, kernel, stdlib
Related Id(s): OTP-11997
Time warp safety improvements.
Introduced the options monotonic_timestamp, and
strict_monotonic_timestamp to the trace, sequential
trace, and system profile functionality. This since the
already existing timestamp option is not time warp
safe.
Introduced the option safe_fixed_monotonic_time to
ets:info/2 and dets:info/2. This since the already
existing safe_fixed option is not time warp safe.
OTP-13301 Application(s): erts
Fix a register race where down nodes goes undetected in
epmd
OTP-13336 Application(s): erts
Improved the gcc inline assembly implementing double
word atomic compare and exchange on x86/x86_64 so that
it also can be used when compiling with clang.
OTP-13365 Application(s): erts
Related Id(s): OTP-9892
An optimization preventing a long wait for a scheduler
thread looking up information about a process executing
on another scheduler thread had unintentionally been
lost in erts-5.10 (OTP R16A). This optimization has now
been reintroduced.

OTP-13238 Application(s): compiler, dialyzer, hipe
Fix pretty printing of Core Maps
Literal maps could cause Dialyzer to crash when pretty
printing the results.
OTP-13379 Application(s): hipe
Dialyzer warnings removed.
--- Improvements and New Features ---
OTP-13269 Application(s): hipe
Fix HiPE ErLLVM code generation for pattern matching
with UTF binaries.
OTP-13272 Application(s): hipe
Fix various binary construction inconsistencies for
hipe compiled code.
-- Passing bad field sizes to binary constructions
would throw badarith rather than badarg. Worse, in
guards, when the unit size of the field was 1, the
exception would leak rather than failing the function
clause match.
-- Passing bignums as field sizes to binary
constructions would always fail (and always with
badarg).
-- A bug in bs_init_bits that cased binary
constructions to fail with system_limit if they were at
least 1/8th of the actual limit.
-- Compiler crashes when matches against an integer
literal whose size fits an unsigned word, but not a
signed word or matches against an integer literal that
whose size is larger than the largest allowed bignum.
-- Very large binary constructions that should fail
with system_limit could instead fail with badarg or
even succeed with a faulty result.
-- Add missing check for unit size match when inserting
a binary. For example, a faulty expression like
>/binary>> would succeed.

trace, and system profile functionality. This since the
already existing timestamp option is not time warp
safe.
Introduced the option safe_fixed_monotonic_time to
ets:info/2 and dets:info/2. This since the already
existing safe_fixed option is not time warp safe.
OTP-13250 Application(s): kernel
Add validation callback for heart
The erlang heart process may now have a validation
callback installed. The validation callback will be
executed, if present, before any heartbeat to heart
port program. If the validation fails, or stalls, no
heartbeat will be sent and the node will go down.
With the option 'check_schedulers' heart executes a
responsiveness check of the schedulers before a
heartbeat is sent to the port program. If the
responsiveness check fails, the heartbeat will not be
performed (as intended).

OTP-13291 Application(s): sasl
During upgrade, the release_handler collects a list of
supervisor pids in order to list all processes in the
supervisor tree. If one of the supervisors
(legitimately) exits before release_handler can examine
it, then sys:get_status/1 would earlier be called with
a dead pid, causing a 'noproc' error. This has been
corrected.
