Experimental support for TLS 1.1 is now available, will be
officially supported from OTP-R16. Thanks to Andreas Schultz
for implementing the first version.
OTP-8872 == ssl ==
Experimental support for TLS 1.2 is now available, will be
officially supported from OTP-R16. Thanks to Andreas Schultz
for implementing the first version.
OTP-10113 == ssl ==
Removed some bottlenecks increasing the applications
parallelism especially for the client side.
--- otp -----------------------------------------------------------------
OTP-10074 The Erlang/OTP test runner ts has been extended to allow
cross compilation of test suites. To cross compile the test
suites first follow the normal cross compilation procedures
and release the tests on the build host. Then install ts
using an xcomp specification file and compile test suites
using ts:compile_testcases/0. For more details see
$ERL_TOP/xcomp/README.md.
OTP-10107 It is now possible to give configure and make an
installation/release path with whitespaces in it.
OTP-10245 spelling improvements throughout the documentation and code.
(Thanks to Tuncer Ayaz)
OTP-10246 Correct link in the README.md (Thanks to Yamamoto Takashi)
--- asn1-1.8 ------------------------------------------------------------
OTP-10058 Add support for multiple ExtensionAdditionGroups
OTP-10128 Encoding and decoding of integer ranges can now be done with
an upper bound larger than the previous limit of 16^10. The
new upper bound in per encoding and decodings for constrained
whole numbers is 2^2040 (close to 16^508)
OTP-10139 Per encoding/decoding now works correctly for single value
subtyping of an integer type where a subtype is a predefined
value. Previously a predefined value could cause a non-valid
range-check in the generated Erlang code for per
encoding/decoding due to a bug in the constraint checking.
OTP-10144 Add support for extensible enumeration types in n2n generated
functions.
OTP-10152 Fix typo error in selected decode function (Thanks to Artem
Teslenko)
OTP-10186 Better error indication when detecting unexpected tags during
decoding of BER encoded data.
OTP-10233 asn1rt_check: Fix transform_to_EXTERNAL1990 for binary input
(Thanks to Harald Welte)
--- common_test-1.6.2 ---------------------------------------------------
OTP-9625 The support for "silent connections" has been updated to
include ssh. Also, a silent_connections term has been added
to the set of test specification terms.
OTP-9626 It is now possible to specify an arbitrarily large tuple as
the requires config data when using require and
ct:get_config. See the ct:get_config and ct:require reference
manual pages for details about which keys are allowed.
This change introduces a backwards incompatability in the
ct:require/2 interface. Previously when doing
ct:require(a_name,{key,subkey}), a_name would be associated
with key. This has been changed to that a_name is associated
with subkey. This change also effects using require in an
suite/group/testcase info function.
OTP-9865 The ct_run program now sets the OS process exit status before
it ends. Value 0 indicates a successful test result, 1
indicates one or more failed or auto-skipped test cases, and
2 indicates test execution failure.
OTP-9896 It is now possible to sort the HTML tables by clicking on the
header elements. In order to reset a sorted table, the
browser window should simply be refreshed. This feature
requires that the browser supports javascript, and has
javascript execution enabled. If the 'ct_run -basic_html'
flag is used, no javascript code is included in the generated
HTML code.
OTP-10025 A netconf client, ct_netconfc, is added to common_test. It
supports basic netconf functionality over SSH. In order to
allow testing of both success and failure cases, it is
intentionally written to allow non-standard behavior.
OTP-10049 The test specification term {define,Constant,Value} has been
introduced, which makes it possible to replace constant names
(atom()) with values (term()) in arbitrary test specification
terms. The 'define' makes the (now deprecated) 'alias' term
obsolete. More details, including examples, can be found in
the Test Specifications chapter in the Common Test User's
Guide.
OTP-10050 If a CT hook function caused a crash, this could in some
situations cause Common Test to terminate due to an illegal
IO operation. This error has been corrected.
OTP-10067 Verbosity levels for log printouts has been added. This makes
it possible to specify preferred verbosity for different
categories of log printouts, as well as general printouts
(such as standard IO), to allow control over which strings
get printed and which get ignored. New versions of the Common
Test logging functions, ct:log, ct:pal and ct:print, have
been introduced, with a new Importance argument added. The
Importance value is compared to the verbosity level at
runtime. More information can be found in the chapter about
Logging in the Common Test User's Guide.
OTP-10069 The Common Test documentation states that timetraps are never
active during execution of CT hook functions. This was only
true for post hook functions, not for pre hook functions. The
code for CT hooks has been modified to behave according to
the documentation.
OTP-10072 If a CT hook function would call the exit/1 or throw/1 BIF
(possibly indirectly, e.g. as a result of a timeout in
gen_server:call/3), Common Test would hang. This problem has
been fixed.
OTP-10077 The documentation has been updated with information about how
to deal with chaining of hooks which return fail/skip.
OTP-10087 The return values of ct:run_test/1 and ct:run_testspec/1 have
been changed from an uninformative 'ok' (independent of the
test outcome) to a value,
{Ok,Failed,{UserSkipped,AutoSkipped}} (all integers), that
presents the final test case result, or a value,
{error,Reason}, that informs about fatal test execution
failure. See details in the reference manual for ct.
OTP-10089 The test specification syntax has been updated with new and
missing terms, such as 'define', 'verbosity', 'auto_compile',
'stylesheet', 'silent_connections', 'basic_html' and
'release_shell'. See the Test Specification chapter in the
Common Test User's Guide for details.
OTP-10127 It is now possible to pause execution of a test case, by
calling the ct:break/1/2 function. Execution is resumed with
a call to ct:continue/0/1. Break/continue also works for test
cases executing in parallel. See the ct reference manual for
details.
OTP-10135 When ct_hooks called the id/1 functions of multiple hooks, it
would reverse the order of the hooks and call the proceeding
init/2 calls in the wrong order. This has been fixed.
OTP-10157 It is now possible to send user defined events from a
testcase which will be picked up by the installed event
handler.
OTP-10158 The surefire hook now correctly handles autoskipped
initialization and test functions.
OTP-10172 The ct:get_status/0 function failed to report status if a
parallel test case group was running at the time of the call.
This has been fixed and the return value for the function has
been updated. Please see the ct reference manual for details.
OTP-10248 A new start option, release_shell, for ct:run_test/1, has
been added, which makes Common Test release the shell process
after the test suite compilation phase is finished. For
details, see the Running Tests chapter in the User's Guide.
--- compiler-4.8.2 ------------------------------------------------------
OTP-10123 Modules with very many functions would compile very slowly.
OTP-10150 compile:forms/2 will now use a {source,SourceFilePath} to set
the source returned by module_info(compile) (Thanks to Jos�
Valim)
OTP-10171 A process which had enabled trap_exit would receive EXIT
messages after calling the compiler. (Thanks to Jeremy
Heater.)
OTP-10183 Fix messages ordering with column numbers
OTP-10184 sys_pre_expand: Fix BASE never being set
Commit a612e99fb5aaa934fe5a8591db0f083d7fa0b20a turned module
attributes from 2-tuples to 3-tuples but forgot to update
get_base/1, breaking BASE for parametric modules.
OTP-10185 The compiler will now issue a warning if literal tuple funs
are used. For example, {erlang,is_tuple}(X) will now generate
a warning.
OTP-10197 The compiler will now warn for illegal sizes for segments in
binary construction. For example, <<X:(2.5)>> will now cause
the compiler to issue a warning.
OTP-10211 Fix the erlc -MP flag
Because of a copy-and-paste error in erlc.c, the -MP flag had
the same effect as -MG. As a workaround, you had to pass
+makedep_phony to enable the MP option. This patch makes -MP
work as intended.
--- crypto-2.2 ----------------------------------------------------------
OTP-9908 Add crypto and public_key support for the hash functions
SHA224, SHA256, SHA384 and SHA512 and also hmac and
rsa_sign/verify support using these hash functions. Thanks to
Andreas Schultz for making a prototype.
OTP-10064 Remove unnecessary dependency to libssl from crypto NIF
library. This dependency was introduced by accident in
R14B04.
OTP-10065 Optimize RSA private key handling in crypto and public_key.
OTP-10136 Make crypto:aes_cfb_128_encrypt and
crypto:aes_cfb_128_decrypt handle data and cipher with
arbitrary length. (Thanks to Stefan Zegenhagen)
--- dialyzer-2.5.2 ------------------------------------------------------
OTP-10082 Bug fixes and improvements of dialyzer_typesig.
OTP-10083 Correct handling of type names in contracts. Fix crash
related to contract checking. Do not rewrite unchanged PLT.
OTP-10103 Add parallel dialyzer support
OTP-10110 An alternative implementation of the solver in
dialyzer_typesig has been introduced. It is faster than the
original implementation.
OTP-10191 Bugs in erl_types:t_inf() (HiPE) and in dialyzer_dataflow
(Dialyzer) have been fixed.
OTP-10231 Stop a forgotten server process
Dialyzer forgot to stop a server process before finishing its
analysis. This is a concurrency error detected by Concuerror.
Changes to fix warnings identified by running dialyzer
-Wunmatched_returns. Thanks to Kostis Sagonas.
--- diameter-1.2 --------------------------------------------------------
OTP-9608 Statistics related to Diameter messages can be retrieved
using diameter:service_info/2.
Both Diameter and socket-level statistics are available, for
both incoming and outgoing messages.
OTP-9885 Allow multiple transport_module/config to
diameter:add_transport/2.
Multiple values are attempted in sequence until one results
in an established connection. This provides a way for a
connecting transport to specify configuration in order of
preference. (For example, SCTP before TCP.)
OTP-10202 Fix broken Result-Code setting and Destination-Host/Realm
extraction.
Result-Code was assumed to have arity 1 when setting this
value in an answer to a request containing AVP decode errors.
Destination-Host/Realm were only correctly extracted from
messages in the common application.
OTP-10203 Handle insufficient capabilities configuration more
gracefully.
A transport that does not have sufficient capabilities
configuration in order to encode CER/CEA will now emit an
error report noting the configuration error and exit instead
of failing. The error is not detected at
diameter:add_transport/2 since there is no requirement that a
service be configured before its transports.
OTP-10212 Add events for state transitions in the RFC 3539 watchdog
state machine.
The watchdog state is also available through
diameter:service_info/2.
OTP-10213 Add diameter:service_info(SvcName, connections).
This provides an alternative to
diameter:service_info(SvcName, transport) that presents
information per established connection instead of per
transport reference.
OTP-10215 Ensure a failing peer_up/down callback does not affect
transport connections to other peers.
Such a failure would previously have taken down all of a
service's connections.
OTP-10216 Assorted documentation corrections/improvements.
--- edoc-0.7.10 ---------------------------------------------------------
OTP-10174 List behaviour callbacks in Edoc when using -callback
attribute. (Thanks to Magnus Henoch.)
Added special case for file names under Windows. (Thanks to
Beads Land-Trujillo.)
--- erl_docgen-0.3.2 ----------------------------------------------------
OTP-10138 A bug regarding spaces in C function prototypes has been
fixed. (Thanks to Richard O'Keefe.)
--- erl_interface-3.7.8 -------------------------------------------------
OTP-10209 Detect when middle endian doubles are used by a platform and
account for it when decoding floats. (Thanks to Mike Sperber)
--- erts-5.9.1.1 --------------------------------------------------------
OTP-10033 A proposal for a new scheduler wakeup strategy has been
implemented. For more information see the documentation
of the +sws command line argument of erl.
OTP-10044 A switch for configuration of busy wait length for scheduler
threads has been added. For more information see the documentation
of the +sbwt command line argument of erl.
OTP-10048 The extra memory barriers introduced by bug-fix OTP-9281
were unnecessarily used also on tables without the write_concurrency
option enabled. This could unnecessarily degrade performance
of ETS tables without write_concurrency on some hardware
(e.g. PowerPC) while not effecting performance at all on
other hardware (e.g. x86/x86_64). OTP-9281 (R14B03): ETS
tables using the write_concurrency option could potentially
get into an internally inconsistent state.
OTP-10059 If threads support for the runtime system had been disabled
at compile time (--disable-threads had been passed to configure),
and the +A command line argument of erl was passed when
starting the runtime system, driver_system_info() erroneously
claimed that the runtime system had async threads even though
it had not. Due to this bug the file driver did not split
tasks into smaller chunks, but instead completed the whole
task at once, i.e., the scheduler got occupied with I/O
for a longer time than intended.
--- erts-5.9.1.2 --------------------------------------------------------
OTP-10111 On Linux systems using heart (erl -heart) and a HEAR_BEAT_TIMEOUT
less than default, heart could fire even though Erlang was
running fine after approx 298 to 497 days (depending on
kernel config). This was due to the behaviour of the times(2)
system call. Usage of times(2) is now replaced with clock_gettime(2)
and the CLOCK_MONOTONIC clock, resulting in a more stable
solution. The Erlang VM itself has used clock_gettime(2)
on linux since before R12B, so this only affects the heart
program.
--- erts-5.9.2 ----------------------------------------------------------
OTP-10051 Add port and suspend options to lock-counter profiling.
(Thanks to Rick Reed)
OTP-10055 Latency when using the active_once option in gen_tcp
communication is reduced.
OTP-10056 Remove bit8 option support from inet
OTP-10057 The OS Pid of a port program is now available by calling
erlang:port_info(Port,os_pid), Thanks to Matthias Lang for
the original patch.
OTP-10071 Fix erl_prim_loader errors in handling of primary archive.
The following errors have been corrected:
If primary archive was named "xxx", then a file in the same
directory named "xxxyyy" would be interpreted as a file named
"yyy" inside the archive.
erl_prim_loader did not correctly create and normalize
absolute paths for primary archive and files inside it, so
unless given with exact same path files inside the archive
would not be found. E.g. if escript was started as
/full/path/to/xxx then "./xxx/file" would not be found since
erl_prim_loader would try to match /full/path/to/xxx with
/full/path/to/./xxx. Same problem with ../.
Depending on how the primary archive was built,
erl_prim_loader:list_dir/1 would sometimes return an empty
string inside the file list. This was a virtual element
representing the top directory of the archive. This has been
removed.
Thanks to Tuncer Ayaz and Shunichi Shinohara for reporting
and co-authoring corrections.
OTP-10073 Fix: Add port-I/O statistics for active once and true and not
only active false.
OTP-10076 Fix openpty usage in run_erl.
Reopening a slave file descriptor which was closed earlier
could lead to a misbehaving connection. This has now been
remedied.
OTP-10096 The 64-bit windows installer did not look in the right
directories for 64-bit version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2010
Redistibutable Package and hence took the wrong decision
about having to install the redistributable package if the
32-bit version was installed but not the 64-bit and vice
versa. This bug has now been fixed Furthermore the
sub-installer for the redistributable package is now run in
silent mode if the erlang installer is.
OTP-10105 Remove all code, documentation, options and diagnostic
functions which were related to the experimental hybrid heap
implementation.
OTP-10106 epmd would fail to start automatically when starting a
distributed erlang node installed in a location with a
whitespace in the path.
OTP-10116 A more or less harmless bug that sometimes caused memory
deallocations to be delayed longer than intended has been
fixed.
OTP-10137 Fix bug causing emulator crash when running HiPE on ARM. Bug
has existed since R15B.
OTP-10138 A bug regarding spaces in C function prototypes has been
fixed. (Thanks to Richard O'Keefe.)
OTP-10142 Corrected dtrace pid length in message related probes.
(Thanks to Zheng Siyao)
OTP-10148 Correct formating in exit error messages
Ensure displayed sizes are not negative. (Thanks to Michael
Santos)
OTP-10151 fix escript/primary archive reloading
If the mtime of an escript/primary archive file changes after
being added to the code path, correctly reload the archive
and update the cache. (Thanks to Tuncer Ayaz)
OTP-10162 Optimizations of memory deallocations.
OTP-10163 Optimization of process locking.
OTP-10180 Doc fix: link from erlang:now/0 to os:timestamp/0
Sometimes os:timestamp/0 is more appropriate than
erlang:now/0. The documentation for the former has a link to
the latter; this patch adds a link in the other direction to
make os:timestamp/0 more visible. Thanks to Magnus Henoch
OTP-10181 The caret in the werl window (on Windows) could appear at the
wrong place after regaining focus. This is now corrected.
OTP-10182 Fix bug that in some cases could cause corrupted binaries in
ETS tables with compressed option.
OTP-10187 Fix use of "clever" mktime
Commit 1eef765 introduced regression (conditional _always_
evaluates to true) in which
erlang:localtime_to_universaltime/2 stopped working on
systems configured with timezone without DST (i.e. UTC) on
*BSD platforms: 1>
erlang:localtime_to_universaltime({{2012,1,1},{0,0,0}},
true). ** exception error: bad argument Thanks to Piotr
Sikora
OTP-10189 Relocate bodies of DTrace probes to the statically-linked VM.
Due to various operating systems (in both the DTrace and
SystemTap worlds) not fully supporting DTrace probes (or
SystemTap-compatibility mode probes) in shared libraries, we
relocate those probes to the statically-linked virtual
machine. This could be seen as pollution of the pristine VM
by a (yet) experimental feature. However:
1. This code can be eliminated completely by the C
preprocessor. 2. Leaving the probes in the dyntrace NIF
shared library simply does not work correctly on too many
platforms. *Many* thanks to Macneil Shonle at Basho for
assisting when my RSI-injured fingers gave out. (note:
Solaris 10 and FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE can take a long time to
compile)
OTP-10190 Fix bug in ets:test_ms/2 that could cause emulator crash when
using '$_' in match spec.
OTP-10198 Added a xcomp example file for powerpc-dso-linux-gnu
OTP-10200 Supplying a filename longer than the operating system
MAX_PATH to file:read_link/1 would cause a crash
(Segemntation fault/Critical Error) on all platforms. This is
now corrected.
OTP-10201 If Perl was configured to interpret files as being encoded in
UTF-8, the build would crash in make_preload. (Thanks to
Aaron Harnly for noticing this issue.)
OTP-10209 Detect when middle endian doubles are used by a platform and
account for it when decoding floats. (Thanks to Mike Sperber)
OTP-10211 Fix the erlc -MP flag
Because of a copy-and-paste error in erlc.c, the -MP flag had
the same effect as -MG. As a workaround, you had to pass
+makedep_phony to enable the MP option. This patch makes -MP
work as intended.
OTP-10217 Allow mixed IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to sctp_bindx
Also allow mixed address families to bind, since the first
address on a multihomed sctp socket must be bound with bind,
while the rest are to be bound using sctp_bindx. At least
Linux supports adding address of mixing families. Make
inet_set_faddress function available also when HAVE_SCTP is
not defined, since we use it to find an address for bind to
be able to mix ipv4 and ipv6 addresses. Thanks to Tomas
Abrahamsson
OTP-10227 Fix support for leap seconds-aware timezones
erlang:universaltime_to_localtime is leap seconds-aware
(since 2008), however erlang:localtime_to_universaltime is
not, which gives surprising results on systems configured
with leap seconds-aware timezones: 1>
erlang:universaltime_to_localtime({{2012,1,1},{0,0,0}}).
{{2012,1,1},{0,0,0}} 2>
erlang:localtime_to_universaltime({{2012,1,1},{0,0,0}}).
{{2012,1,1},{0,0,24}} and completely breaks
calendar:local_time_to_universal_time_dst: 3>
calendar:local_time_to_universal_time_dst({{2011,1,1},{0,0,0}
}). [] Thanks to Piotr Sikora
OTP-10228 erlsrv: gracefully stop emulator on Windows shutdown
Windows will send the SERVICE_CONTROL_SHUTDOWN event to the
service control handler when shutting down the system.
Instead of ignoring the event, erlsrv will now invoke the
stop action. Likewise, the Erlang emulator (and it's po
drivers) must not quit upon reception of the
CTRL_SHUTDOWN_EVENT event in th console control handler.
Thanks to Jan Kloetzke
OTP-10234 Fix dtrace bug in file rename operation.
OTP-10249 Fix bug in memory management of driver port data locks (PDL).
In some cases PDLs could be deallocated before ready_async or
async_free callback was called.
--- et-1.4.4.2 ----------------------------------------------------------
OTP-10119 Fix typo in ET doc (Thanks to Ricardo Catalinas Jim�nez)
--- eunit-2.2.3 ---------------------------------------------------------
OTP-10173 New option 'no_tty' to silent the default tty report.
Recognize the new stacktrace format introduced in R15, adding
location information. (Thanks to Klas Johansson.)
Improve layout of error messages, printing the stack trace
before the error term.
Heuristically detect and report bad return values from
generators and instantiators. E.g., "ok" will not be
interpreted as a module name, and a warning will be printed.
New test representation {test,M,F} for completeness along
with {generator,M,F}. Tuples {M,F} are deprecated.
Use UTF-8 as encoding in Surefire output files. (Thanks to
Lukas Larsson.)
--- hipe-3.9.2 ----------------------------------------------------------
OTP-10083 Correct handling of type names in contracts. Fix crash
related to contract checking. Do not rewrite unchanged PLT.
OTP-10105 Remove all code, documentation, options and diagnostic
functions which were related to the experimental hybrid heap
implementation.
OTP-10191 Bugs in erl_types:t_inf() (HiPE) and in dialyzer_dataflow
(Dialyzer) have been fixed.
OTP-10230 Changes in comments and minor code cleanups
Thanks to Kostis Sagonas.
--- ic-4.2.31 -----------------------------------------------------------
OTP-10109 Fix bug where the ic pre-processor would ignore whitespace
quoting.
OTP-10138 A bug regarding spaces in C function prototypes has been
fixed. (Thanks to Richard O'Keefe.)
--- inets-5.9.1 ---------------------------------------------------------
OTP-10092 [httpc] Cancel request does not work due to incorrect handler
table creation (wrong keypos).
OTP-10093 [httpc] Better handling of error(s) during update of the
session database. Also added (httpc:which_sessions/0,1) and
updated and documented (httpc:info/0) some debugging
functions.
OTP-10095 Removed R14B compatible version of (inets-service and tftp)
behaviour definition.
OTP-10114 Documentation of KeepAlive and Pipeline timeout options have
been improved. (Thanks to Jesper Louis Andersen)
--- kernel-2.15.2 -------------------------------------------------------
OTP-10053 Document inet options: high_watermark, priority, linger and a
some other options that previously was undocumented.
OTP-10056 Remove bit8 option support from inet
OTP-10094 Fixed issue where using controlling_process/2 with self() as
the second argument caused the port to leak if self()
crashes. (Thanks to Ricardo Catalinas Jim�nez)
OTP-10098 When sending large files using the file:sendfile fallback
file:sendfile would crash. This is now fixed.
OTP-10131 The type of the disk log header has been corrected. (Thanks
to Niclas Eklund.)
OTP-10149 Fix rpc:call/5 for local calls with a finite Timeout (Thanks
to Tomer Chachamu)
OTP-10151 fix escript/primary archive reloading
If the mtime of an escript/primary archive file changes after
being added to the code path, correctly reload the archive
and update the cache. (Thanks to Tuncer Ayaz)
OTP-10160 Support added for home directories named with non-ASCII
characters (codepoints above 127) on a system running in
Unicode file mode (e.g. on MacOSX or Linux with startup
arguments +fnu or +fna with the right LOCALE). Also
environment variables with Unicode content are supported in
applicable environments.
OTP-10217 Allow mixed IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to sctp_bindx
Also allow mixed address families to bind, since the first
address on a multihomed sctp socket must be bound with bind,
while the rest are to be bound using sctp_bindx. At least
Linux supports adding address of mixing families. Make
inet_set_faddress function available also when HAVE_SCTP is
not defined, since we use it to find an address for bind to
be able to mix ipv4 and ipv6 addresses. Thanks to Tomas
Abrahamsson
--- megaco-3.16.0.2 -----------------------------------------------------
OTP-10199 Miscellaneous fixes and changes.
--- mnesia-4.7.1 --------------------------------------------------------
OTP-10220 Add tests showing that trying to delete non-existing object
may corrupt the
In case of bag tables, trying to delete a non-existing object
leads to the index becoming corrupt. This happens if the
non-existing object we try to delete happens to share its key
and index field value with a single existing object in the
table. Result: The index entry corresponding to the existing
object is removed.
Prevent index from being corrupted if a nonexistent item is
deleted
We have to ensure that we actually delete the last object
with a given (key, index) pair before removing the index.
Thanks to Bartlomiej Puzon
--- observer-1.2 --------------------------------------------------------
OTP-10075 Allow tracing on bifs.
Ask epmd for local nodes, and remember users last input in
connect.
Fix crashes when a table or process information could not be
retrieved.
OTP-10090 The module name in the link to the detail page for each
loaded module was earlier not URL encoded. If the module name
contained e.g. a # this could cause the crashdump viewer to
crash when opening the link. This has been corrected.
OTP-10218 Escape control characters in Table Viewer
Similar behaviour to old tv. Objects in tables supposed to be
printed in a single line and it looks ugly when a
[...,10,...] integer list creates a new-line. Fix Table
Viewer search crash on new|changed|deleted rows.
Fix Table Viewer crash after a 'Found' -> 'Not found' search
sequence
Start position was lost after a 'Found' -> 'Not found' search
sequence leading an undefined position in the next search.
Thanks to Peti G�mori
OTP-10221 observer: fix app file (Noticed-by: Motiejus Jakstys)
Add missing observer modules to observer.app.src. Thanks to
Tuncer Ayaz.
OTP-10225 Make Table Viewer search a bit faster
Edit table row in a multiline text dialog. Thanks to Peti
Gomori.
--- odbc-2.10.13 --------------------------------------------------------
OTP-10206 Add support for NULL value in odbc:param_query
Support atom 'null' in odbc:param_query as database NULL
value Fix "ODBC: received unexpected info:{tcp_closed, ...}"
when connection is terminated. Fix possible access violation
with 64bit ODBC. Thanks to Maxim Zrazhevskiy
--- os_mon-2.2.10 -------------------------------------------------------
OTP-10100 Infinity timeout added to internal calls in disksup to allow
it to work properly under very heavy load.
OTP-10161 Clarify error messages from os_mon port programs
--- public_key-0.16 -----------------------------------------------------
OTP-9908 Add crypto and public_key support for the hash functions
SHA224, SHA256, SHA384 and SHA512 and also hmac and
rsa_sign/verify support using these hash functions. Thanks to
Andreas Schultz for making a prototype.
OTP-10065 Optimize RSA private key handling in crypto and public_key.
--- reltool-0.6.1 -------------------------------------------------------
OTP-9743 A new sys level configuration parameter {excl_lib,otp_root}
is added. When this is set, the target system will not
contain anything from $OTP_ROOT. It will only contain a
releases directory with rel, script and boot files, and a lib
directory with applications found outside of $OTP_ROOT (i.e.
"your own" applications).
--- runtime_tools-1.8.9 -------------------------------------------------
OTP-10141 Change the module-level docs to give complete step-by-step
instructions for using the `dyntrace:p()` trace function.
(Thanks to Scott Lystig Fritchie)
OTP-10143 Add 1024 separate USDT probes to dyntrace.erl and dyntrace.c
(Thanks to Scott Lystig Fritchie)
OTP-10189 Relocate bodies of DTrace probes to the statically-linked VM.
Due to various operating systems (in both the DTrace and
SystemTap worlds) not fully supporting DTrace probes (or
SystemTap-compatibility mode probes) in shared libraries, we
relocate those probes to the statically-linked virtual
machine. This could be seen as pollution of the pristine VM
by a (yet) experimental feature. However:
1. This code can be eliminated completely by the C
preprocessor. 2. Leaving the probes in the dyntrace NIF
shared library simply does not work correctly on too many
platforms. *Many* thanks to Macneil Shonle at Basho for
assisting when my RSI-injured fingers gave out. (note:
Solaris 10 and FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE can take a long time to
compile)
--- snmp-4.22.1 ---------------------------------------------------------
OTP-10066 [manager] snmpm:log_to_io/6 did not use the LogName argument.
OTP-10132 Fix bad decode of types TimeTicks and Unsigned32.
OTP-10164 [agent] Errors in vacmAccessTable RowStatus handling.
There are problems with the handling of vacmAccessTableStatus
that cause some SNMP test suites to report errors.
Most notably, erroneous set operations frequently cause
"genErr" errors to be returned. These "genErr" errors are
usually caused by badmatch exceptions coming from {ok, Row} =
snmpa_vacm:get_row(RowIndex) if the row does not exist.
The semantics of the RowStatus handling in that table has
been adjusted compliant with the RowStatus textual
description of SNPMv2-TC MIB. (Thanks to Stefan Zegenhagen)
OTP-10165 [agent] Fix walk over vacmAccessTable. Fix the get_next
implementation of vacmAccessTable to return all table
entries. The get_next implementation of vacmAccessTable did
not return all available table data. Instead, it only
returned the first column for each row, and all columns for
the last row available.
OTP-10166 [agent] Sematic fixes to SNMP-USER-BASED-SM-MIB. The
semantics allow the usmUserAuthKeyChange and
usmUserPrivKeyChange objects to be written to in the same set
requests that also creates and clones the user. This was not
possible beforehand, causing test tools checking semantic
SNMPv3 behaviour to fail on a lot of test cases.
Furthermore, once the user has been cloned by writing to an
instance of usmUserCloneFrom, further set-operations to the
same object will not return an error, but be no-ops.
Especially, it must be avoided to copy security parameters
again (possibly even from a different user).
--- ssh-2.1.1 -----------------------------------------------------------
OTP-10060 Ssh now only sends one channel close message under all
circumstances, before it would sometimes incorrectly send
two.
OTP-10061 The options check mistreated the ip_v6_disable-option, and
did not handle some, at the moment, undocumented options
correctly.
OTP-10062 The channel id in a channel failure message, sent to the
peer, is now in all cases the remote channel id
OTP-10112 Improved handling of multiple closes to avoid occasional
crashes when a channel is closed more than once.
OTP-10219 Fix lib/src/test/ssh_basic_SUITE.erl to fix IPv6 option typos
Fixed incorrect option "ipv6_disable" to "ipv6_disabled" as
documented in the ssh manual.
OTP-10224 SSH: Make "auth_methods" server option re-usable
The 'auth_methods' option is used by the server side of the
SSH code to tell a connecting SSH client about the
authentication methods that are supported by the server. The
code still extracts and handles the 'auth_methods' option
from Opts in appropriate places, but the Opts checking code
in ssh.erl didn't allow that option to be specified.
OTP-10232 Use the correct channel id when adjusting the channel window
--- ssl-5.1 -------------------------------------------------------------
OTP-8871 Experimental support for TLS 1.1 is now available, will be
officially supported from OTP-R16. Thanks to Andreas Schultz
for implementing the first version.
OTP-8872 Experimental support for TLS 1.2 is now available, will be
officially supported from OTP-R16. Thanks to Andreas Schultz
for implementing the first version.
OTP-10113 Removed some bottlenecks increasing the applications
parallelism especially for the client side.
OTP-10118 Sometimes the client process could receive an extra {error,
closed} message after ssl:recv had returned {error, closed}.
OTP-10196 ssl v3 alert number 41 (no_certificate_RESERVED) is now
recognized
OTP-10222 Workaround for handling certificates that wrongly encode
X509countryname in utf-8 when the actual value is a valid
ASCCI value of length 2. Such certificates are accepted by
many browsers such as Chrome and Fierfox so for
interoperability reasons we will too.
--- stdlib-1.18.2 -------------------------------------------------------
OTP-10054 The message printed by the Erlang shell as an explanation of
the badarith error has been corrected. (Thanks to Matthias
Lang.)
OTP-10104 Fixed bug where if given an invalid drive letter on windows
ensure dir would go into an infinite loop.
OTP-10130 Calls to gen_server:enter_loop/4 where ServerName has a
global scope and no timeout is given now works correctly.
Thanks to Sam Bobroff for reporting the issue.
OTP-10151 fix escript/primary archive reloading
If the mtime of an escript/primary archive file changes after
being added to the code path, correctly reload the archive
and update the cache. (Thanks to Tuncer Ayaz)
OTP-10182 Fix bug that in some cases could cause corrupted binaries in
ETS tables with compressed option.
OTP-10188 Fix filename:nativename/1 on Win32
Don't choke on paths given as binary argument on Win32.
Thanks to Jan Kl�tzke
OTP-10190 Fix bug in ets:test_ms/2 that could cause emulator crash when
using '$_' in match spec.
OTP-10223 Fix bug where zip archives wrongly have a first disk number
set to 1
--- syntax_tools-1.6.9 --------------------------------------------------
OTP-10208 Syntax Tools 1.6.9
Minor bugfixes, spec annotations and documentation cleanup.
Thanks to Richard Carlsson
--- test_server-3.5.2 ---------------------------------------------------
OTP-9896 It is now possible to sort the HTML tables by clicking on the
header elements. In order to reset a sorted table, the
browser window should simply be refreshed. This feature
requires that the browser supports javascript, and has
javascript execution enabled. If the 'ct_run -basic_html'
flag is used, no javascript code is included in the generated
HTML code.
OTP-10067 Verbosity levels for log printouts has been added. This makes
it possible to specify preferred verbosity for different
categories of log printouts, as well as general printouts
(such as standard IO), to allow control over which strings
get printed and which get ignored. New versions of the Common
Test logging functions, ct:log, ct:pal and ct:print, have
been introduced, with a new Importance argument added. The
Importance value is compared to the verbosity level at
runtime. More information can be found in the chapter about
Logging in the Common Test User's Guide.
OTP-10074 The Erlang/OTP test runner ts has been extended to allow
cross compilation of test suites. To cross compile the test
suites first follow the normal cross compilation procedures
and release the tests on the build host. Then install ts
using an xcomp specification file and compile test suites
using ts:compile_testcases/0. For more details see
$ERL_TOP/xcomp/README.md.
OTP-10086 The documentation has been updated with the latest changes
for the test_server_ctrl:report/2 function.
OTP-10172 The ct:get_status/0 function failed to report status if a
parallel test case group was running at the time of the call.
This has been fixed and the return value for the function has
been updated. Please see the ct reference manual for details.
--- tools-2.6.8 ---------------------------------------------------------
OTP-10091 The last tuple fun call has been removed from fprof.
OTP-10120 Fix indentation of record fields in Emacs (Thanks to Tomas
Abrahamsson)
OTP-10121 Documentation fixes (Thanks to Ricardo Catalinas Jim�nez )
OTP-10168 Remove Erlang-specific compilation error regexp in erlang.el
OTP-10178 Fix highlighting of atoms ending with a dollar sign
Like this: 'atom$'. In that example, the last single quote
should be recognised as ending the atom. This needs a
font-lock workaround similar to the one for strings. Thanks
to Magnus Henoch
OTP-10192 Xref now accepts filenames with character codes greater than
126. (Thanks to Emile Joubert for reporting the issue.)
OTP-10226 Add test_indentation target to lib/tools/emacs/Makefile
Automatically indent test.erl.orig, save to test.erl, and
compare to test.erl.intended. Thanks to Magnus Henoch.
--- typer-0.9.4 ---------------------------------------------------------
OTP-10103 Add parallel dialyzer support
--- xmerl-1.3.2 ---------------------------------------------------------
OTP-10063 Fix a continuation bug when a new block of bytes is to be
read during parsing of a default declaration.
