OTP-9491 Again: Call chmod without the "-f" flag
Commit 7ed11a886fc8fcaf3c2b8324294e2f24e02b0f28 removed the
"-f" flag from chmod calls in Makefiles:
| "-f" is a non-standard chmod option which at least SGI IRIX
and HP UX | do not support. As the only effect of the "-f"
flag is to suppress | warning messages, it can be safely
omitted.
Meanwhile, new "chmod -f" calls have been added. This commit
removes the "-f" flag from those new calls. (Thanks to Holger
Wei�)
OTP-9555 Improve spelling throughout documentation, code comments and
error messages
--- asn1-1.6.18 ---------------------------------------------------------
OTP-9536 Implement or fix -Werror option
If -Werror is enabled and there are warnings no output file
is written. Also make sure that error/warning reporting is
consistent. (Thanks to Tuncer Ayaz)
--- common_test-1.5.5 ---------------------------------------------------
OTP-8933 Various corrections and updates to improve the handling and
reporting of errors.
OTP-9155 The dir and suite start option can now be used in
combination. E.g. executing my_SUITE in directory my_tests
can either be specified as "ct_run -suite my_tests/my_SUITE"
or as "ct_run -dir my_tests -suite my_SUITE". Furthermore,
the specification:
ct:run_test([{suite,["./my_SUITE"]},{testcase,t1}]) is now
interpreted as
ct:run_test([{suite,"./my_SUITE"},{testcase,t1}]), i.e. only
testcase t1 in test suite my_SUITE - not all cases - will be
executed.
OTP-9237 An error in how comments are colored in the test suite
overview html log file has been corrected. As result, a new
framework callback function, format_comment/1, has been
introduced.
OTP-9369 Automatically generated init- and end-configuration functions
for test case groups caused incorrect execution order of test
cases. This has been corrected.
OTP-9370 If multiple directories were specified with the 'logdir'
flag/option, Common Test would crash. This has been fixed so
that an error is properly reported instead.
OTP-9371 If ct:log/2 was called with bad arguments, this could cause
the Common Test IO handling process to crash. This fault has
been corrected.
OTP-9372 A new option, 'logopts', has been introduced, to make it
possible to modify some aspects of the logging behaviour in
Common Test (or Test Server). For example, whenever an io
printout is made, test_server adds newline (\n) to the end of
the output string. This may not always be a preferred action
and can therefore be disabled by means of "ct_run ...
-logopts no_nl" (or ct:run_test([..., {logopts,[no_nl]}])). A
new framework callback function, get_logopts/0, has been
introduced (see the ct_framework module for details).
OTP-9379 A bug has been fixed that made Test Server call the end_tc/3
framework function with an incorrect module name as first
argument.
OTP-9396 A new option, 'logopts', has been introduced, to make it
possible to modify some aspects of the logging behaviour in
Common Test (or Test Server). For example, if the html
version of the test suite source code should not be generated
during the test run (and consequently be unavailable in the
log file system), the feature may be disabled by means of
"ct_run ... -logopts no_src" (or ct:run_test([...,
{logopts,[no_src]}])). A new framework callback function,
get_logopts/0, has been introduced (see the ct_framework
module for details).
OTP-9398 If a timetrap timeout occured during execution of of a
function in a lib module (i.e. a function called directly or
indirectly from a test case), the Suite argument in the
end_tc/3 framework callback function would not correctly
contain the name of the test suite, but the lib module. (This
would only happen if the lib module was compiled with ct.hrl
included). This error has been solved.
OTP-9429 Corrections of the vts mode. It will now report errors (about
e.g. incorrect config files) instead of crashing or hanging.
Furthermore, the requirement that the test directory name
must have a "_test" suffix has been removed. Also, a
workaround has been implemented for the limitation that the
file browser (in many web browsers) will only return the
basic file name, not the full directory path (which made it
impossible to have config files in other directories than the
main test directory).
OTP-9445 CT Hooks can now be assigned a priority. The priority of a
CTH determines when it should execute in relation to other
CTHs. The CTH with the lowest priority will be executed
first, CTHs with equal priority will be executed in the order
which they were installed.
OTP-9499 Add a proplist() type
Recently I was adding specs to an API and found that there is
no canonical proplist() type defined. (Thanks to Ryan
Zezeski)
OTP-9501 It is now possible to use a tuple {M,F,A}, or a fun, as
timetrap specification in the suite info function or test
case info functions. The function must return a valid timeout
value, as documented in the common_test man page and in the
User's Guide.
OTP-9518 It is now possible to use the 'step' flag/option to run the
debugger for test suites that contain test case groups. This
previously caused Common Test to crash. If 'step config' is
specified, breakpoints are now also automatically set on
init_per_group and end_per_group. Note that breakpoints are
always set automatically on test case functions and this is
true also for grouped cases.
OTP-9520 The test index page was not refreshed at the start of each
test suite which made it impossible to follow test execution
by means of refreshing the browser window (no links to
follow). This has been fixed.
OTP-9543 A new built-in common test hook has been added which captures
error_logger and SASL event and prints them in the testcase
log. To disable this (and any other built-in hooks) pass
'enable_builtin_hooks false' to common test.
OTP-9564 Common Test now has the possibility to have built-in hooks
which are started by default when any test is run. To disable
built-in hooks pass 'enable_builtin_hooks false' to common
test. See the common test hooks documentation for more
details.
OTP-9584 If a test suite would start with a test case group defined
without the init_per_group/2 and end_per_group/2 function,
init_per_suite/1 would not execute initially and logging of
the test run would fail. This error has been fixed.
OTP-9592 The "Missing Suites" link from the top level index page was
incorrect and has been fixed.
--- compiler-4.7.5 ------------------------------------------------------
OTP-9534 Compiler options given in the source code using a -compile()
attribute used to be included twice in
Mod:module_info(compile). They are now only included once at
the beginning of the list of options.
OTP-9571 beam_disasm: Handle stripped BEAM files
beam_disasm:file/1 would crash if asked to disassemble a
stripped BEAM file without an "Attr" chunk. (Thanks to Haitao
Li)
--- cosFileTransfer-1.1.12 ----------------------------------------------
OTP-9550 XML files have been corrected.
--- crypto-2.0.3.1 ------------------------------------------------------
OTP-9566 crypto changed to be dynamically linked against OpenSSL
--- crypto-2.0.3.2 ------------------------------------------------------
OTP-9603 Changed crypto and ssl to be dynamically linked to OpenSSL
and use version 0.9.8 of OpenSSL (instead of 0.9.7) on PowerPC.
--- crypto-2.0.4 --------------------------------------------------------
OTP-9526 crypto:rand_uniform works correctly for negative integers.
Fails with badarg exception for invalid ranges (when Hi =<
Lo) instead of returning incorrect output.
OTP-9532 Fix win32 OpenSSL static linking (Thanks to Dave Cottlehuber)
--- dialyzer-2.4.4 ------------------------------------------------------
OTP-9483 Update results of race_SUITE/extract_translations Update
results of small_SUITE/flatten Add codec_can and
list_to_bitstring tests Fix bug when reporting unused
functions Update Dialyzer r9c_suite results Fix dialyzer
warning on default clause for binary comprehension (Thanks to
Ivan Dubrov)
OTP-9489 Fix server loop detection
Dialyzer does not normally emit warnings for functions that
implement non-terminating server loops. This detection failed
when some of the elements in an SCC terminated normally
(being for example list comprehensions or other generic
anonymous functions that were included in the SCC). This
patch fixes that.
OTP-9496 Types for several BIFs have been extended/corrected. Also the
types for types for lists:keyfind/3, lists:keysearch/3, and
lists:keyemember/3 have been corrected. The
incorrect/incomplete types could cause false dialyzer
warnings.
OTP-9499 Add a proplist() type
Recently I was adding specs to an API and found that there is
no canonical proplist() type defined. (Thanks to Ryan
Zezeski)
OTP-9529 Suppress some warnings about generation of non-returning funs
No warnings are emitted for funs that are non-returning when
the function that generates them has a contract that
specifies that it will return such a non-returning fun.
Enhance Dialyzer's inference on comparisons
This patch makes Dialyzer aware of Erlang's total ordering of
terms, enabling discrepancy detection in cases where e.g.
integer() < tuple() is treated as a comparison that might
also return false (when it is certain to always return true).
Minor fix in dead code
Fix infinite loop in dataflow
Update r9c/{inets,mnesia} results in dialyzer's test suite
Add origin information to #fun_var closures
(Thanks to Tuncer Ayaz and Maria Christakis)
OTP-9560 Quote atoms if necessary in types
Atoms in some occurrences were not correctly quoted when
formatted to strings, for instance by the typer program
(Thanks to Tomas Abrahamsson)
Update Dialyzer's reference results
OTP-9597 Fix typer's crash for nonexisting files Remove unused macro
Fix bug in dataflow Decrease tuple arity limit This fixes a
memory related crash.
--- diameter-0.10 -------------------------------------------------------
OTP-9467 @id required in dictionary files only when @messages is
specified.
@id defines an application identifier and this is used only
when sending or receiving messages. A dictionary can define
only AVP's however, to be included by other dictionaries
using @inherits, in which case it makes no sense to require
@id.
Note that message definitions are not inherited with
@inherits, only AVP's
OTP-9469 Allow @enum when AVP is defined in an inherited dictionary.
3GPP standards (for one) extend the values allowed for RFC
3588 AVP's of type Enumerated. Previously, extending an AVP
was only possible by completely redefining the AVP.
OTP-9538 Handle #sctp_paddr_change and #sctp_pdapi_event from
gen_sctp.
The events are enabled by default but diameter_sctp neither
disabled nor dealt with them. Reception of such an event
caused a transport process to crash.
OTP-9553 Migrate testsuites to pure common test and add both suites
and testcases.
OTP-9577 Fix header folding bug.
A prepare_request callback from diameter can return a
diameter_header record in order to set values in the header
of an outgoing request. A fault in diameter_lib:fold_tuple/3
caused the subsequent encode of the outgoing request to fail.
OTP-9578 Fix bugs in sending of answer-message replies.
3001 (DIAMETER_COMMAND_UNSUPPORTED) was not sent since the
decode placed the AVP list in the wrong field of the
diameter_packet, causing the subsequent encode to fail.
Session-Id was also set improperly, causing encode to fail
even in this case.
OTP-9579 Fix improper use of error_logger:info_report/2.
Function doesn't take a format string and arguments as it was
called. Instead use error_logger:info_report/1 and use the
same report format as used for warning and error reports.
OTP-9580 Fix and clarify semantics of peer filters.
An eval filter returning a non-true value caused the call
process to fail and the doc was vague on how an exception was
treated. Clarify that the non-tuple host/realm filters assume
messages of a certain form.
OTP-9581 Requests of arbitrary form.
diameter:call/4 can be passed anything, as long as the
subsequent prepare_request callback returns a term that can
be encoded.
OTP-9583 Fix and clarify relay behaviour.
Implicit filtering of the sending peer in relaying a request
could cause loop detection to be preempted in a manner not
specified by RFC3588. Reply with 3002
(DIAMETER_UNABLE_TO_DELIVER) on anything but an answer to a
relayed request.
--- docbuilder-0.9.8.11 -------------------------------------------------
OTP-9509 The docbuilder application has been deprecated and will be
removed in the R15 release.
--- edoc-0.7.9 ----------------------------------------------------------
OTP-9350 no_return is a new built-in type.
OTP-9463 synchronized with edoc development version
forgot to ensure that xmerl is found in path for include_lib
to work
fix -spec declaration that doesn't work in R13B04
eliminate warnings about unused imports
removed CVS-keywords from source files (Thanks to Richard
Carlsson )
OTP-9499 Add a proplist() type
Recently I was adding specs to an API and found that there is
no canonical proplist() type defined. (Thanks to Ryan
Zezeski)
OTP-9590 Removed some never-matching clauses reported by dialyzer Fix
macro expansion in comments following Erlang types URI-escape
bytes as two hex digits always (reported by Alfonso De
Gregorio) Updated author e-mail Recognize some more URI
schemas in wiki text, in particular https (Thanks to Richard
Carlsson)
--- erl_docgen-0.2.6 ----------------------------------------------------
OTP-9360 Bug fixes.
OTP-9541 The manpage generation has been improved.
OTP-9562 Fix eix file generation for new function spec references.
OTP-9563 The function signatures in the pdf files was not in a fixed
font.
OTP-9576 The parts level in the system documentation was missing in
the bookmarks menu for the pdf and the copyright year
generation for PDF was not correct.
OTP-9588 The indentation after Warning: and Note: in manpages has been
improved.
--- erl_interface-3.7.5 -------------------------------------------------
OTP-9390 Align ei buffer according to size of pointers
OTP-9530 ei: integer overflow in string/atom encoding
ei_encode_atom() and ei_encode_string() use strlen() to get
the length of the buffer. As strlen() returns an unsigned
long long and both ei functions take a signed integer, the
length fields may overflow.
Check so that the results of strlen can be held in a signed
integer. (Thanks to Michael Santos)
OTP-9550 XML files have been corrected.
OTP-9559 Make comment and documentation reflect code in
erl_interface/src/misc/ei_decode_term.c (Thanks to Anneli
Cuss)
--- erts-5.8.4.1 --------------------------------------------------------
OTP-9339 The erts_alloc_util framework has been extended with functionality
for separation of small blocks from other blocks in separate
carriers. This functionality is currently disabled by default,
but can be enabled in order to finetune memory management.
For more information see erts_alloc(3).
OTP-9422 Fix bug in tracing with matchspec body containing enable_trace
or disable_trace. Could cause emulator crash if trace was
altered with erlang:trace_pattern by racing process during
ongoing tracing.
OTP-9423 Fix emulator deadlock in ets:delete on tables with write_concurrency
caused by race with concurrent process that tries to do
other operation on the same table. Does not apply to ordered_set.
Bug exist since R14B.
--- erts-5.8.5 ----------------------------------------------------------
OTP-9284 Several bugs concerning constant binary constructions such as
<<0:4294967295>> have been corrected. Depending on the actual
size of the binary and the type of run-time system (32-bit,
halfword, 64-bit), such expression could either crash the
run-time system or make the loader refuse loading of the
module.
OTP-9344 The Erlsrv utility failed to stop the erlang machine if no
StopAction was defined when the service was stopped. This is
now corrected.
OTP-9356 Types and specifications have been added.
OTP-9373 Due to a bug in glibc the runtime system could abort while
trying to destroy a mutex. A fix for this was introduced in
R14B02. This fix did, however, not solve the problem. The
runtime system will now issue a warning instead of aborting.
OTP-9377 Replace atom in DRV macro in prim_file with string
An experimental version of Dialyzer discovered that the atom
that replaced the DRV macro in prim_file ends up in calls to
erlang:open_port({spawn, Driver}, Portopts) as the Driver
argument. The documentation states that this call requires a
string there.
This change is also consistent with the one introduced in
commit 0f03b1e9d2bef3bc830c31a369261af4c5234727 by Kostis
Sagonas.
OTP-9387 Fix typos in the epmd documentation (Thanks to Holger Wei� )
OTP-9394 Fix faulty integer terms created by NIF API from 64-bit
integers on halfword emulator. (Thanks to Paolo Negri and
Paul Davis)
OTP-9424 New allocator strategy "address order first fit". May ease
the emptying of memory carriers and thereby real release of
memory back to the OS.
OTP-9427 Fix epmd crash on vxworks caused by faulty argument to
select() system call.
OTP-9435 The ets:test_ms function could in rare cases truncate the
error messages. This is now corrected.
OTP-9452 Fix bug related to hibernate and HiPE (clear
F_HIBERNATE_SCHED flag)
F_HIBERNATE_SCHED flag that was introduced in
b7ecdcd1ae9e11b8f75e must be cleared in hipe_mode_switch as
well. Otherwise, processes running HiPE code that hibernate,
wake up and then trap into a BIF will not be
rescheduled.(Thanks to Paul Guyot)
OTP-9453 Fix bug in FreeBSD topology detection code (Thanks to Paul
Guyot)
OTP-9454 Fix use of logical operator && with constant operand
instead of bitwise & (Thanks to Cristian Greco)
OTP-9455 inet: error if fd does not match socket domain
If an IPv4 fd is opened as an IPv6 socket, unexpected
behaviour can occur. For example, if an IPv4 UDP socket is
opened and passed into Erlang as an IPv6 socket, the first 3
bytes (corresponding to 1 byte representing the protocol
family, 2 bytes set to the port) are stripped from the
payload. The cause of the UDP payload truncation happens in
inet_drv.c:packet_inet_input when a call to inet_get_address
fails silently because the family is set to PF_INET6 but the
buffer len is the size of an IPv4 struct sockaddr_in.
(Thanks to Andrew Tunnell-Jones for finding the bug and the
test case!)
OTP-9487 erts: use a union to avoid strict aliasing issues
Use a union for pointer type conversion to avoid compiler
warnings about strict-aliasing violations with gcc-4.1. gcc
>= 4.2 does not emit the warning. erts: adapt matrix_nif to
R14 erl_nif API changes (Thanks To Tuncer Ayaz)
OTP-9488 fix 64-bit issues in the garbage collection (Thanks to
Richard Carlsson)
OTP-9495 The new erlang:check_old_code/1 BIF checks whether a module
has old code.
OTP-9500 epmd: fix compiler warnings
Suppress compiler warnings about ignored return values.
(Thanks to Michael Santos )
OTP-9504 Fix non-existing function (erlang:disconnect/1) in
distributed reference manual (Thanks to Fabian Kr�l)
OTP-9506 Update documentation and specifications of some of the zlib
functions.
OTP-9512 Document fdatasync -lrt requirement (SunOS <= 5.10) (Thanks
to Tuncer Ayaz)
OTP-9525 Let epmd ignore empty ERL_EPMD_ADDRESS
If the environment variable ERL_EPMD_ADDRESS is set to the
empty string, empd now behaves like it does by default when
ERL_EPMD_ADDRESS is unset. That is, in this case, epmd now
listens on all available interfaces instead of using only the
loopback interface, which happened because epmd added the
loopback address to the (in this case empty) list of
addresses specified via ERL_EPMD_ADDRESS.
Also, epmd now ignores ERL_EPMD_ADDRESS if it contains only
separator characters (comma and space).
The same applies to epmd's -address option.(Thanks to Holger
Wei�)
OTP-9527 Remove dead code in erl_compile (Thanks to Tuncer Ayaz)
OTP-9528 Add erlang:external_size/2 BIF
This BIF's second parameter is a list of options. Currently
the only allowed option is {minor_version, Version} where
version is either 0 (default) or 1. (Thanks to Filipe David
Manana )
OTP-9531 Detect the available CPUs on IRIX
Add support for querying the number of configured and online
processors on SGI systems running IRIX.(Thanks to Holger
Wei�)
OTP-9533 Fix enif_compare on 64bits machines
In 64bits machines the Sint type has a size of 8 bytes, while
on 32bits machines it has a 4 bytes size. enif_compare was
ignoring this and therefore returning incorrect values when
the result of the CMP function (which returns a Sint value)
doesn't fit in 4 bytes. (Thanks to Filipe David Manana)
OTP-9536 Implement or fix -Werror option
If -Werror is enabled and there are warnings no output file
is written. Also make sure that error/warning reporting is
consistent. (Thanks to Tuncer Ayaz)
OTP-9537 In some rare cases we did not have a run queue when
scheduling misc ops. This is now fixed.
OTP-9542 Remove misc. compiler warnings
OTP-9544 Two bugs in gen_sctp has been corrected: getopts/setopts
hence also send could only be called from socket owner, and
options 'linger', 'rcvbuf' and 'sndbuf' was read from wrong
protocol layer hence read wrong values by getopts.
OTP-9547 Erlang/OTP can now be built on MacOS X Lion.
OTP-9550 XML files have been corrected.
OTP-9557 Fix potential errors inspired by running cppcheck(1) (Thanks
to Christian von Roques)
OTP-9567 When auxiliary work was enqueued on a scheduler, the wakeup
of the scheduler in order to handle this work could be lost.
Wakeups in order to handle ordinary work were not effected by
this bug. The bug only effected runtime systems with SMP
support as follows:
Deallocation of some ETS data structures could be delayed. On
Linux systems not using the NPTL thread library (typically
ancient systems with kernel versions prior to 2.6) and
Windows systems, the {Port, {exit_status, Status}} message
from a terminating port program could be delayed. That is, it
only effected port programs which had been started by passing
exit_status as an option to open_port/2.
OTP-9586 Handle rare race in the crypto key server functionality
--- et-1.4.4 ------------------------------------------------------------
OTP-9470 Dialyzer warnings have been fixed.
--- eunit-2.2.1 ---------------------------------------------------------
OTP-9465 Generate separate surefire XMLs for each test suite
Previously the test cases of all test suites (=modules) were
put in one and the same surefire report XML thereby breaking
the principle of least astonishment and making post analysis
harder. Assume the following layout:
src/x.erl src/y.erl test/x_tests.erl test/y_tests.erl
The results for both x_tests and y_tests were written to only
one report grouped under either module x or y (seemingly
randomly).
Now two reports, one for module x and one for y are
generated. (Thanks to Klas Johansson)
OTP-9505 Updated to EUnit version 2.2.0
New macros assertNotMatch(Guard, Expr),
assertNotEqual(Unexpected, Expr), and
assertNotException(Class, Term, Expr).
The debugMsg macro now also prints the pid of the current
process.
When testing all modules in a directory, tests in
Module_tests.erl are no longer executed twice.
The use of regexp internally has been replaced with re.
(Thanks to Richard Carlsson)
OTP-9591 Removed some never-matching clauses reported by dialyzer
Updated author e-mails and homepages Removed cvs keywords
from files Removed files that should not be checked in
(Thanks to Richard Carlsson)
--- gs-1.5.14 -----------------------------------------------------------
OTP-9542 Remove misc. compiler warnings
--- hipe-3.8.1 ----------------------------------------------------------
OTP-9496 Types for several BIFs have been extended/corrected. Also the
types for types for lists:keyfind/3, lists:keysearch/3, and
lists:keyemember/3 have been corrected. The
incorrect/incomplete types could cause false dialyzer
warnings.
OTP-9511 Clean up hipe.hrl.src (Thanks to Tuncer Ayaz)
OTP-9556 Fix bug with binary pattern matching of floats of variable
size
Pattern matching of floats with variable size (<<F:S/float>>)
did always fail. Judging from similar code for ints, this bug
is simply a typo.(Thanks to Paul Guyot)
OTP-9560 Quote atoms if necessary in types
Atoms in some occurrences were not correctly quoted when
formatted to strings, for instance by the typer program
(Thanks to Tomas Abrahamsson)
Update Dialyzer's reference results
OTP-9597 Fix typer's crash for nonexisting files Remove unused macro
Fix bug in dataflow Decrease tuple arity limit This fixes a
memory related crash.
--- ic-4.2.27 -----------------------------------------------------------
OTP-9460 Reduced compile overhead (Thanks to Haitao Li).
--- inets-5.7 -----------------------------------------------------------
OTP-5566 [httpc|httpd] Added support for IPv6 with ssl.
OTP-9317 [httpc] Remove unnecessary usage of iolist_to_binary when
processing body (for PUT and POST). Filipe David Manana
OTP-9342 [ftp] FTP client doesn't work with IPv6 host. Attila Rajmund
Nohl
OTP-9343 Peer/sockname resolv doesn't work with IPv6 addrs in HTTP.
Attila Rajmund Nohl.
OTP-9365 [httpc] Clients started stand-alone not properly handled.
Also it was not documented how to use them, that is that
once started, they are represented by a pid() and not by
their profile().
--- inets-5.7.1 ---------------------------------------------------------
OTP-9433 [httpc] Parsing of a cookie expire date should be more
forgiving. That is, if the parsing fails, the date should be
ignored. Also added support for (yet another) date format:
"Tue Jan 01 08:00:01 2036 GMT".
OTP-9434 [httpc] Rewrote cookie parsing. Among other things solving
cookie processing from www.expedia.com.
OTP-9524 [httpd] Typofix in httpd_file:handle_error message (Thanks to
Andr�s Veres-Szentkir�lyi )
OTP-9561 [httpd] Fix httpd directory traversal on Windows. Directory
traversal was possible on Windows where backward slash is
used as directory separator.
--- kernel-2.14.5 -------------------------------------------------------
OTP-9260 The types and specifications of the inet modules have been
improved.
OTP-9356 Types and specifications have been added.
OTP-9485 Contracts in STDLIB and Kernel have been improved and type
errors have been corrected.
OTP-9506 Update documentation and specifications of some of the zlib
functions.
OTP-9514 Fix type of Packet arg of gen_tcp:send/2 and gen_udp:send/4
The type is marked as a binary() or a string() but in
practice it can be an iodata(). The test suite was updated to
confirm the gen_tcp/2 and gen_udp:send/4 functions accept
iodata() (iolists) packets. (Thanks to Filipe David Manana)
OTP-9550 XML files have been corrected.
--- megaco-3.15.1.1 -----------------------------------------------------
OTP-9550 XML files have been corrected.
--- mnesia-4.5 ----------------------------------------------------------
OTP-9473 Fix protocol issues. Mnesia-4.4.19 could not communicate with
to older nodes.
OTP-9550 XML files have been corrected.
OTP-9551 Dump the log even if no transactions have been invoked on
local node, otherwise the log will grow forever with
decisions from the other nodes who have tables on disk.
Thanks Marek Majkowski.
OTP-9558 Use dedicated api for clear_table, i.e. instead of
match_delete use delete_all_objects. Thanks KukHyun Lee.
--- observer-0.9.10 -----------------------------------------------------
OTP-9515 Do not install *.bat files on non-win32 machines (Thanks to
Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
--- odbc-2.10.11 --------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8407 Add code to handle old ODBC drivers on solaris. Also adds
tests with MySQL.
OTP-8493 Odbc now supports SQL_WLONGVARCHAR, thanks to Hanfei Shen for
the patch.
OTP-9444 When using output parameters the internal odbc state was not
correctly cleaned causing the next call to param_query to
misbehave.
OTP-9550 XML files have been corrected.
--- orber-3.6.22 --------------------------------------------------------
OTP-9550 XML files have been corrected.
--- os_mon-2.2.7 --------------------------------------------------------
OTP-9542 Remove misc. compiler warnings
--- parsetools-2.0.6 ----------------------------------------------------
OTP-8318 Dialyzer warnings have been removed.
OTP-9376 yecc: add warnings_as_errors option(Thanks to Tuncer ayaz)
OTP-9484 Fix incorrect order of pseudo variables in yecc example
The example is for converting from infix to prefix. This
change uses to correct ordering of the triplet. (Thanks to
Garret Smith)
OTP-9536 Implement or fix -Werror option
If -Werror is enabled and there are warnings no output file
is written. Also make sure that error/warning reporting is
consistent. (Thanks to Tuncer Ayaz)
OTP-9550 XML files have been corrected.
--- percept-0.8.6 -------------------------------------------------------
OTP-9490 Fix message handling in select requests
percept_db used to send results in untagged messages, and use
a non selective receive to extract them. When percept is used
from the shell process, this can confuse other messages with
the actual result.
Add a tag to the message to be {result, Result}. Add
demonitor to avoid keeping DOWN message in the queue fix one
spec in do_start/0
(Thanks to Ahmed Omar)
--- public_key-0.13 -----------------------------------------------------
OTP-9464 replace "a ssl" with "an ssl" reindent pkix_path_validation/3
Trivial documentation fixes (Thanks to Christian von Roques )
--- reltool-0.5.7 -------------------------------------------------------
OTP-9383 If a module was duplicated in the library directories visible
to reltool, and the configuration did not point out which
file to use, then reltool:start would always fail. A pop-up
is added which asks if you want to continue with a safe and
minimal configuration.
OTP-9384 wx would sometimes crash due to an empty radiobox on the
'releases' tab of the system window. This radiobox is
removed, and replaced by a listbox which will always contain
at least kernel and stdlib applications.
--- runtime_tools-1.8.6 -------------------------------------------------
OTP-9458 Two new built-in trace pattern aliases have been added:
caller_trace (c) and caller_exception_trace (cx). See the
dbg:ltp/0 documentation for more info.
--- sasl-2.1.10 ---------------------------------------------------------
OTP-9306 The release_handler functionality on windows services was
broken. This has been corrected.
OTP-9395 release_handler:install_release could be very slow when there
are many processes in the system. Some optimization work has
been done both in erts and in the release handler in order to
improve this.
A new option, purge, is added to
release_handler:check_install_release which can be called
first in order to speed up the execution of
release_handler:install_release.
OTP-9402 If a new version of an application did not include any erlang
module changes, the code path of the application was not
updated by the release_handler unless a 'load_object_code'
instruction was added for the application. This would be a
problem if e.g. only some files in the priv dir were changed
since calls to code:lib_dir or code:priv_dir would then point
to the old location of the application. This has been
corrected - now code:replace_path/2 will be called for all
applications that are changed (i.e. when the application's
vsn is changed in the .rel file).
OTP-9417 The appup instruction 'delete_module' would cause a crash
during upgrade if the module to be deleted was not loaded.
This has been corrected.
OTP-9507 If a path was given as ONLY 'ebin' and not for example
'./ebin', then systools:make_tar would fail with a
function_clause exception in filename:join/1. This has been
corrected. (Thanks to Nikola Skoric for reporting).
OTP-9536 Implement or fix -Werror option
If -Werror is enabled and there are warnings no output file
is written. Also make sure that error/warning reporting is
consistent. (Thanks to Tuncer Ayaz)
OTP-9546 Improved error information for timeouts during
release_handler:install_release.
This patch addresses two cases where a timeout will occur
during upgrade. 1) if a supervisor is suspended (call to get
children from supervisor will hang) 2) if the child spec for
a supervisor incorrectly states that it is a worker with a
dynamic set of modules (call to get modules from gen_event
will hang)
An error report will now be printed, and the return value of
release_handler:install_release will indicate what happened.
(Thanks to joe williams)
--- snmp-4.20.1 ---------------------------------------------------------
OTP-9400 [agent] Did not handle transport domains properly in some
cases, for instance trap sending.
OTP-9425 [agent] Wrong default transport domain, snmpUDPDomain, instead
of transportDomainUdpIpv4.
--- snmp-4.21 -----------------------------------------------------------
OTP-9305 [manager] No way to specify transport domain. Transport
domains was assumed to be IPv4. This has now been changed
so that it can also be IPv6. To facilitate this, the transportDomain
is now a (new) valid option. This also mean that the transport
behaviour has changed.
OTP-9354 The snmp config tool could not handle (manager) audit trail
config because the option seqno was not handled.
OTP-9367 [agent] The SNMP ACM cache was not properly updated when
changes where made to the VACM security-to-group, access
and view-tree-family tables.
OTP-9437 [compiler] Added the option warnings_as_errors which specifies
whether warnings should be treated as errors. Tuncer Ayaz.
OTP-9442 Fixed install directory typo for man3. Peter Lemenkov Hans
Ulrich Niedermann
--- snmp-4.21.1 ---------------------------------------------------------
OTP-9236 [manager] Enable community override for GET and GETNEXT
requests.
OTP-9446 [agent] Some minor debugging improvements.
OTP-9447 [compiler] Used wrong variable name (for warnings-as-errors
variable), which caused the compiler to crash when using the
snmpc script. Also added the option --Werror for the SNMP MIB
compiler (escript) frontend (to mimic erlc), which specifies
whether warnings should be treated as errors.
OTP-9536 Implement or fix -Werror option
If -Werror is enabled and there are warnings no output file
is written. Also make sure that error/warning reporting is
consistent. (Thanks to Tuncer Ayaz)
--- ssh-2.0.8 -----------------------------------------------------------
OTP-9386 Calling ssh_sftp:stop_channel/1 resulted in that the
trap_exit flag was set to true for the invoking process.
--- ssl-4.1.5.1 ---------------------------------------------------------
OTP-9346 The clean up of the session table now works as intended.
In ssl-4.1.5 temporary clean-up processes would crash resulting
in that the session table would not be cleaned up (e.i.
using more and more memory) and error reports would be printed,
but connections would not be affected. Thanks to Ferenc
Holzhauser for so promptly reporting this and suggesting
a solution.
--- ssl-4.1.5.2 ---------------------------------------------------------
OTP-9603 Changed crypto and ssl to be dynamically linked to OpenSSL
and use version 0.9.8 of OpenSSL (instead of 0.9.7) on PowerPC.
--- ssl-4.1.6 -----------------------------------------------------------
OTP-9364 Adds function clause to avoid denial of service attack.
Thanks to Vinod for reporting this vulnerability.
OTP-9382 Error handling code now takes care of inet:getopts/2 and
inets:setopts/2 crashes. Thanks to Richard Jones for
reporting this.
OTP-9461 Support explicit use of packet option httph and httph_bin
OTP-9464 replace "a ssl" with "an ssl" reindent pkix_path_validation/3
Trivial documentation fixes (Thanks to Christian von Roques )
OTP-9589 Decoding of hello extensions could fail to come to the
correct conclusion due to an error in a binary match pattern.
Thanks to Ben Murphy.
--- stdlib-1.17.5 -------------------------------------------------------
OTP-9356 Types and specifications have been added.
OTP-9368 erl_tar:extract failed when executed inside a directory with
some parent directory to which the user has no read access.
This has been corrected.
OTP-9412 A bug in erl_scan:set_attribute/3 has been fixed.
OTP-9413 The contract of io_lib:fread() has been corrected.
OTP-9418 The contracts of the queue module have been modified.
OTP-9439 A crash in io_lib:fread/2 when end of input data was
encountered while trying to match literal characters, which
should return {more,_,_,_} but instead crashed, has been
corrected. Reported by Klas Johansson.
A similar peculiarity for io:fread when encountering end of
file before any field data has also been corrected.
OTP-9450 The contract of timer:now_diff() has been corrected. (Thanks
to Alex Morarash).
OTP-9456 Fix minor typo in gen_fsm documentation (Thanks to Haitao Li)
OTP-9471 The contracts of zip:zip_list_dir/1 and zip:zip_get/2 have
been corrected.
OTP-9472 A bug in zip:zip_open() has been fixed.
OTP-9485 Contracts in STDLIB and Kernel have been improved and type
errors have been corrected.
OTP-9496 Types for several BIFs have been extended/corrected. Also the
types for types for lists:keyfind/3, lists:keysearch/3, and
lists:keyemember/3 have been corrected. The
incorrect/incomplete types could cause false dialyzer
warnings.
OTP-9498 Fix trivial documentation errors(Thanks to Matthias Lang)
OTP-9499 Add a proplist() type
Recently I was adding specs to an API and found that there is
no canonical proplist() type defined. (Thanks to Ryan
Zezeski)
OTP-9502 fix supervisors restarting temporary children
In the current implementation of supervisors, temporary
children should never be restarted. However, when a temporary
child is restarted as part of a one_for_all or rest_for_one
strategy where the failing process is not the temporary
child, the supervisor still tries to restart it.
Because the supervisor doesn't keep some of the MFA
information of temporary children, this causes the supervisor
to hit its restart limit and crash.
This patch fixes the behaviour by inserting a clause in
terminate_children/2-3 (private function) that will omit
temporary children when building a list of killed processes,
to avoid having the supervisor trying to restart them again.
Only supervisors in need of restarting children used the
list, so the change should be of no impact for the functions
that called terminate_children/2-3 only to kill all children.
The documentation has been modified to make this behaviour
more explicit. (Thanks to Fred Hebert)
OTP-9516 fix broken edoc annotations (Thanks to Richard Carlsson)
OTP-9550 XML files have been corrected.
OTP-9586 Handle rare race in the crypto key server functionality
--- test_server-3.4.5 ---------------------------------------------------
OTP-9237 An error in how comments are colored in the test suite
overview html log file has been corrected. As result, a new
framework callback function, format_comment/1, has been
introduced.
OTP-9311 Test Server did not release SASL TTY handlers
(sasl_report_tty_h and error_logger_tty_h) properly after
each test run. This error has been fixed.
OTP-9369 Automatically generated init- and end-configuration functions
for test case groups caused incorrect execution order of test
cases. This has been corrected.
OTP-9371 If ct:log/2 was called with bad arguments, this could cause
the Common Test IO handling process to crash. This fault has
been corrected.
OTP-9372 A new option, 'logopts', has been introduced, to make it
possible to modify some aspects of the logging behaviour in
Common Test (or Test Server). For example, whenever an io
printout is made, test_server adds newline (\n) to the end of
the output string. This may not always be a preferred action
and can therefore be disabled by means of "ct_run ...
-logopts no_nl" (or ct:run_test([..., {logopts,[no_nl]}])). A
new framework callback function, get_logopts/0, has been
introduced (see the ct_framework module for details).
OTP-9379 A bug has been fixed that made Test Server call the end_tc/3
framework function with an incorrect module name as first
argument.
OTP-9396 A new option, 'logopts', has been introduced, to make it
possible to modify some aspects of the logging behaviour in
Common Test (or Test Server). For example, if the html
version of the test suite source code should not be generated
during the test run (and consequently be unavailable in the
log file system), the feature may be disabled by means of
"ct_run ... -logopts no_src" (or ct:run_test([...,
{logopts,[no_src]}])). A new framework callback function,
get_logopts/0, has been introduced (see the ct_framework
module for details).
OTP-9397 If end_per_testcase caused a timetrap timeout, the actual
test case status was discarded and the test case logged as
successful (even if the case had actually failed before the
call to end_per_testcase). This fault has been fixed.
OTP-9398 If a timetrap timeout occured during execution of of a
function in a lib module (i.e. a function called directly or
indirectly from a test case), the Suite argument in the
end_tc/3 framework callback function would not correctly
contain the name of the test suite, but the lib module. (This
would only happen if the lib module was compiled with ct.hrl
included). This error has been solved.
OTP-9499 Add a proplist() type
Recently I was adding specs to an API and found that there is
no canonical proplist() type defined. (Thanks to Ryan
Zezeski)
OTP-9501 It is now possible to use a tuple {M,F,A}, or a fun, as
timetrap specification in the suite info function or test
case info functions. The function must return a valid timeout
value, as documented in the common_test man page and in the
User's Guide.
OTP-9550 XML files have been corrected.
OTP-9584 If a test suite would start with a test case group defined
without the init_per_group/2 and end_per_group/2 function,
init_per_suite/1 would not execute initially and logging of
the test run would fail. This error has been fixed.
--- toolbar-1.4.2 -------------------------------------------------------
OTP-9555 Improve spelling throughout documentation, code comments and
error messages
--- tools-2.6.6.5 -------------------------------------------------------
OTP-9416 Bugs in xref(3) have been fixed. (Thanks to Matthias Lang.)
OTP-9503 Teach the emacs mode to compile yecc and leex files
If visiting a .yrl or .xrl file in emacs with erlang-mode,
then the `erlang-compile' function (normally bound to C-c
C-k), now knows how to compile yecc and leex files, and then,
if that compilation succeeds, also compiles the resulting
.erl files.
Also introduce a `erlang-compile-command-function-alist' to
make it possible to hook in other functions for computing
compilation commands/expressions, depending on file name.
(Thanks to Tomas Abrahamsson )
--- typer-0.9.2 ---------------------------------------------------------
OTP-9560 Quote atoms if necessary in types
Atoms in some occurrences were not correctly quoted when
formatted to strings, for instance by the typer program

OTP-9513 wx: fix obsolete guard warning (list/1) (Thanks to Tuncer
Ayaz)
OTP-9550 XML files have been corrected.
--- xmerl-1.2.10 --------------------------------------------------------
OTP-9410 Fixed a schema search bug in xmerl_xsd.
A new flag was needed in the xsd_state record so if the state
is saved there is an incompatibility and a state conversion
is needed.
OTP-9411 Fixed xmerl_scan problems with entities in attribute values.
OTP-9457 Streaming bug in xmerl_scan.
If the continuation_fun runs out of input at the end of an
attribute value then it crashed. (Thanks to Simon Cornish)
OTP-9548 Fixed xmerl_ucs UCS2 little endian en/decoding
Corrected number of shift bytes in xmerl_ucs:char_to_ucs2le
and recursive call from from_ucs2le to from_ucs4le. (Thanks
to Michal Ptaszek)
OTP-9552 Add latin9 (iso-8859-15) support in xmerl_ucs (Thanks to
David Julien)
OTP-9555 Improve spelling throughout documentation, code comments and
error messages
