Erlang/OTP 24.3.4.16

The common_test-1.22.1.2 application can be applied independently of other applications on a full OTP 24 installation.

OTP-18932

Application(s):

common_test

Fix how CT finds Erlang/OTP releases for compatability testing. This functionality is only used to test Erlang/OTP.

Full runtime dependencies of common_test-1.22.1.2: compiler-6.0, crypto-3.6, debugger-4.1, erts-7.0, ftp-1.0.0, inets-6.0, kernel-4.0, observer-2.1, runtime_tools-1.8.16, sasl-2.4.2, snmp-5.1.2, ssh-4.0, stdlib-3.5, syntax_tools-1.7, tools-2.8, xmerl-1.3.8

Note! The erts-12.3.2.16 application *cannot* be applied independently of other applications on an arbitrary OTP 24 installation. On a full OTP 24 installation, also the following runtime dependency has to be satisfied: -- kernel-8.3 (first satisfied in OTP 24.3)

32-bit runtime systems on most Unix like platforms could crash if a BIF timer was set with a huge timeout of more than 68 years into the future. In order for the crash to occur, the huge timer (at a later time than when it was set) had to become the nearest active timer set on the specific scheduler on which it was set. This could not happen on a system with only one scheduler since there would always be shorter timers in the system.

Setting a timer larger than 49 days on Windows could under rare circumstances cause the timeout to be delayed.

The ssh-4.13.2.5 application can be applied independently of other applications on a full OTP 24 installation.

Application(s):

ssh

With this change, Curve25519 and Curve448 KEX methods become most preferred (related to RFC8731).
