Potential Incompatibilities #

OTP-15225
Application(s):
erts

Fixed a bug causing some Erlang references to be inconsistently ordered. This could for example cause failure to look up certain elements with references as keys in search data structures. This bug was introduced in R13B02.

Thanks to Simon Cornish for finding the bug and supplying a fix.

compiler-7.2.3 #

The compiler-7.2.3 application can be applied independently of other applications on a full OTP 21 installation.

OTP-15204
Application(s):
compiler
Related Id(s):
ERL-679

Fixed an issue where files compiled with the +deterministic option differed if they were compiled in a different directory but were otherwise identical.

Full runtime dependencies of compiler-7.2.3: crypto-3.6, erts-9.0, hipe-3.12, kernel-4.0, stdlib-2.5

crypto-4.3.1 #

The crypto-4.3.1 application can be applied independently of other applications on a full OTP 21 installation.

OTP-15194
Application(s):

Fixed a node crash in crypto:compute_key(ecdh, ...) when passing a wrongly typed Others argument.

Full runtime dependencies of crypto-4.3.1: erts-9.0, kernel-5.3, stdlib-3.4

OTP-15223
Application(s):
erts

Fixed a bug which caused an emulator crash when enif_send() was called by a NIF that executed on a dirty scheduler. The bug was either triggered when the NIF called enif_send() without a message environment, or when the process executing the NIF was send traced.
