Gabriele Santomaggio 978b5db269 Accepting request 774506 from home:matwey:branches:devel:languages:erlang:Factory 
- Changes for 22.2.6:
  * erts: A process could get into an inconsistent state where it
    was runnable, but never scheduled for execution. This could
    occur when a mix of normal and low priority processes where
    scheduled on the same type of dirty scheduler simultaneously.

Fri Feb 7 09:01:17 UTC 2020 - Gabriele Santomaggio <gsantomaggio@suse.de>
- Changes for 22.2.5:
* erts: A process could end up in a state where it got
endlessly rescheduled without making any progress. This
occurred when a system task, such as check of process
code (part of a code purge), was scheduled on a high
priority process trying to execute on a dirty
scheduler.
* erts: Improved signal handling for processes executing dirty.
For example, avoid busy wait in dirty signal handler
process when process is doing garbage collection on
dirty scheduler.
* stdlib: A directory traversal vulnerability has been eliminated
in erl_tar. erl_tar will now refuse to extract symlinks
that points outside the targeted extraction directory
and will return {error,{Path,unsafe_symlink}}. (Thanks
to Eric Meadows-Jönsson for the bug report and for
suggesting a fix.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Feb 3 07:59:55 UTC 2020 - Gabriele Santomaggio <gsantomaggio@suse.com>
- Changes for 22.2.4:
* ssl: Enhance error handling, all ALERTS shall be handled
gracefully and not cause a crash.
* ssl: Enhance alert logging, in some places the role
indication of the alert origin was missing. So the log
would say undefined instead of client or server.
* ssl: Two different optimizations did not work together and
resulted in the possible breakage of connections using
stream ciphers (that is RC4). Reworked the
implementation to avoid this.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Jan 24 08:08:38 UTC 2020 - matwey.kornilov@gmail.com
- Changes for 22.2.3:
* ssl: Fix the handling of GREASE values sent by web browsers
when establishing TLS 1.3 connections. This change improves
handling of GREASE values in various protocol elements sent in
a TLS 1.3 ClientHello.
* ssl: Correct DTLS listen emulation, could cause problems with
opening a new DTLS listen socket for a port previously used by
a now closed DTLS listen socket.
* compiler: Fixed a bug in the compiler that could cause it to
reject valid code.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Jan 17 08:34:03 UTC 2020 - matwey.kornilov@gmail.com
- Changes for 22.2.2:
* erts: Taking a scheduler offline could cause timers set while
executing on that scheduler to be delayed until the scheduler
was put online again. This bug was introduced in ERTS version
10.0 (OTP 21.0).
* erts: The ets:update_counter/4 core dumped when given an
ordered_set with write_concurrency enabled and an invalid
position. This bug has been fixed.
* erts: A process calling erlang:system_flag(multi_scheduling,
block) could end up blocked waiting for the operation to
complete indefinitely.
* erts: Duplicate entries for [socket:]getopt and [socket:]setopt
in man page.
* stdlib: The ets:update_counter/4 core dumped when given an
ordered_set with write_concurrency enabled and an invalid
position. This bug has been fixed.
* crypto: Constant time comparisons added.
* ssh: Fixed that ssh_connection:send could allocate a large
amount of memory if given an iolist() as input data.
* ssh: Safe atom conversions.
* ssh: Constant time comparisons added.
- Changes for 22.2.1:
* erts: Corrected an issue with the new socket api which could
cause a core dump. A race during socket close could cause a
core dump (an invalid nif environment free).
* erts: Corrected an issue with the new socket api which could
cause a core dump. When multiple accept processes waiting for a
connect a connect could cause a core dump.
* snmp: Its now possible to remove selected varbinds (from the
final message) when sending a notification. This is done by
setting the 'value' (in the varbind(s) of the varbinds list) to
'?NOTIFICATION_IGNORE_VB_VALUE'.
* snmp: Its now possible to specify that an oid shall be
"truncated" (trailing ".0" to be removed) when sending an
notification.
* ssl: Add missing alert handling clause for TLS record handling.
Could sometimes cause confusing error behaviors of TLS
connections.
* ssl: Fix handling of ssl:recv that happens during a
renegotiation. Using the passive receive function
ssl:recv/[2,3] during a renegotiation would fail the connection
with unexpected msg.

- Changes for 22.2
* http://erlang.org/download/OTP-22.2.README
* Highlights:
* erts: The Kernel application's User's Guide now contains a
Logger Cookbook with common usage patterns.
* erts: Numerous improvements in the new socket and net modules
* Standard libraries: common_test: ct_property_test logging is improved
* Standard libraries: ssl: Correct handling of unordered chains so that it
works as expected
* Tools: Emacs erlang-mode function that lets the user open the documentation
for an Erlang/OTP function in an Emacs buffer has been improved.
Users will be asked if they want the man pages downloaded if they are not present
in the system.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Nov 27 09:00:15 UTC 2019 - Gabriele Santomaggio <gsantomaggio@suse.de>
- Changes for 22.1.8
* http://erlang.org/download/OTP-22.1.8.README
* erts: Large amounts of quickly executed dirty work could
cause heavy contention on an internal spin lock. The
spin lock was replaced by a mutex which behaves much
better under these conditions.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Nov 11 11:22:05 UTC 2019 - Gabriele Santomaggio <gsantomaggio@gmail.com>
- Changes for 22.1.7
* http://erlang.org/download/OTP-22.1.7.README
* compiler: Fixed a performance bug that caused repeated matches of
large records to take a very long time to compile.
* erts: A literal area could prematurely be released before all
uses of it had been removed. This occurred either when
a terminating process had a complex exit reason
referring to a literal that concurrently was removed,
or when a terminating process continued executing a
dirty NIF accessing a literal (via the heap) that
concurrently was removed.
* erts: Fix bug causing VM crash due to memory corruption of
distribution entry. Probability of crash increases if
Erlang distribution is frequently disconnected and
reestablished towards same node names. Bug exists since
OTP-21.0.
* erts: Fixed bug causing crash of VM built with configuration
--enable--sharing-preserving. Provoked when a sent
message contains both a bit string and the heap binary
(< 65 bytes) which the bit string was matched from. Bug
exists since OTP-19.0 but has seen to be easier to
provoke since OTP-22.1.
- Changes for 22.1.6
* http://erlang.org/download/OTP-22.1.6.README
* compiler, erts: The compiler could do an unsafe optimization of
receives, which would cause a receive to only scan part
of the message queue.
* crypto: The AEAD tag was not previously checked on decrypt with
chacha20_poly1305
* erts:Fix bug where the receive marker used by the runtime to
do the receive queue optimization could be incorrectly
set. The symptom of this would be that a message that
should match in a receive never matches.
* snmp: Agent discovery cleanup. If there is no receiver of
INFORM then #state.reqs in snmpa_net_if keeps on
growing for DISCOVERY.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Oct 29 12:29:00 UTC 2019 - Gabriele Santomaggio <gsantomaggio@suse.de>
- Changes for 22.1.5
* http://erlang.org/download/OTP-22.1.5.README
* snmp: Application(s): snmp
Related Id(s): ERIERL-427
The agent discovery process has been made to work with
snmptrapd..
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Oct 23 14:06:06 UTC 2019 - Gabriele Santomaggio <gsantomaggio@suse.de>
- Changes for 22.1.4
* http://erlang.org/download/OTP-22.1.4.README
* compiler: Fixed a bug where the compiler could generate incorrect
code for a 'receive' statement inside a 'try'.
* crypto: FIxed a bug if the erlang emulator was linked with a
very old cryptolib version (1.0.1 or earlier).
The bug now fixed could have triggered a core dump if
an unknown cipher name was used in crypto functions.
* erts: Erlang/OTP can now be built on macOS Catalina (10.15).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Oct 15 16:35:54 UTC 2019 - matwey.kornilov@gmail.com
- Changes for 22.1.3:
* inets: Add HTTP server error logging vi logger
- Changes for 22.1.2:
* erts: Added the environment variable ERLC_SERVER_ID, which
allows multiple compile servers to run separately under the
same user.
- Changes for 22.1.1:
* erts: A terminating process sending distributed 'EXIT' or
'DOWN' signals while terminating could end up in a state where
no progress at all was made. This was triggered by a
distribution channel that the terminating process was sending
on got busy. This bug has existed since ERTS version 10.4 (OTP
22.0).
* erts: When communicating with a simultaneously exiting port via
the erlang:port_*() BIFs one could sometimes get stray {Ref,
What} messages. Where Ref was a reference and What usually were
the atom badarg.
* snmp: Made it possible to add 'extra socket options' to the
(gen_udp) socket open call (for both manager and agent). A new
option has been added, extra_sock_opts, which makes it possible
for the user to add a list of extra socket options that will be
appended to the other socket options for the open call. See the
snmp application config man page (erl -man 6 snmp) or the
"Configuring the application" chapter of the Users Guide for
more info.
* compiler: Fixed a bug in the bit-syntax optimization pass that
could crash the compiler.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Sep 22 08:21:20 UTC 2019 - matwey.kornilov@gmail.com
- Changes for 22.1:
* kernel: The type specification for gen_sctp:connect/4,5 has
been corrected.
* kernel: Extra -mode flags given to erl are ignored with a
warning.
* kernel: Fix type spec for seq_trace:set_token/2.
* kernel: logger:compare_levels/2 would fail with a badarg
exception if given the values all or none as any of the
parameters. This is now corrected.
* kernel: Fix bug where the log file in logger_std_h would not be
closed when the inode of the file changed. This would in turn
cause a file descriptor leak when tools like logrotate are
used.
* kernel: Fix a race condition in the debugging function
net_kernel:nodes_info/0.
* kernel: Fix race condition when closing a file opened in
compressed or delayed_write mode.
* kernel: The possibility to send ancillary data, in particular
the TOS field, has been added to gen_udp:send/4,5.
* kernel: If the log file was given with relative path, the
standard logger handler (logger_std_h) would store the file
name with relative path. If the current directory of the node
was later changed, a new file would be created relative the new
current directory, potentially failing with an enoent if the
new directory did not exist. This is now corrected and
logger_std_h always stores the log file name as an absolute
path, calculated from the current directory at the time of the
handler startup.
* kernel: Support local sockets with inet:i/0.
* observer: Fix bug after a user followed link on a pid from an
expanded term window.
* observer: Improved dark mode colors on Linux.
* mnesia: mnesia:add_table_copy/3 could cause a deadlock if
called when a new node was starting.
* mnesia: Transactions with sticky locks could with async_asym
transactions be committed in the wrong order, since asym
transaction are spawned on the remote nodes. To fix this bug
the communication protocol between mnesia nodes had to be
updated, thus mnesia will no longer be able to connect to nodes
earlier than mnesia-4.14 , OTP-19.0. *** POTENTIAL
INCOMPATIBILITY ***
* stdlib: re:run() now yields when validating utf8 in a large
subject.
* stdlib: Upgraded the ERTS internal PCRE library from version
8.42 to version 8.43. See
http://pcre.org/original/changelog.txt for information about
changes made to PCRE. This library implements major parts of
the re regular expressions module.
* stdlib: The bug with ID ERL-717 has been fixed. The functions
io:columns() and io:rows() only worked correctly inside
interactive erlang shells before this fix. These functions
returned {error,enotsup} before this fix even if stdout and
stdin were connected to a terminal when they were invoked from
an escript or a program started with e.g., erl -noshell.
* stdlib: Fixed handling of ".." and "@" in wildcards. ".." would
only work when preceded by a literal pattern such as in "a/..",
not when preceded by wildcard characters such as in "*/..". The
combination "@/.." was also broken, and in addition "@" in a
pattern could degrade performance of the wildcard matching.
* stdlib: Make sure ets:fun2ms() can handle ++/2 in the head of
functions when called from the shell.
* stdlib: Debugging of time-outs in gen_statem has been improved.
Starting a time-out is now logged in sys:log and sys:trace.
Running time-outs are visible in server crash logs, and with
sys:get_status. Due to this system events {start_timer, Action,
State} and {insert_timout, Event, State} have been added, which
may surprise tools that rely on the format of these events. New
features: The EventContent of a running time-out can be updated
with {TimeoutType, update, NewEventContent}. Running time-outs
can be cancelled with {TimeoutType, cancel} which is more
readable than using Time = infinity. *** POTENTIAL
INCOMPATIBILITY ***
* stdlib: re:run() now avoids validating utf8 in the subject more
than once in the same call. This validation could previously be
performed multiple times when the global option was passed.
* stdlib: ETS ordered_set tables with write_concurrency enabled
has got a performance issue fixed. There were no limits for the
values of internal statistics counters before this fix. This
could result in that the data structure sometimes reacted
slowly to a change in how many parallel processes were using
it.
* stdlib: The ordsets:union/1 is now faster when passed a long
list of ordsets.
* stdlib: unicode:characters_to_binary() could return very small
binaries as reference counted off heap binaries. This could
cause an unnecessary large memory usage and an unnecessary load
on the binary allocator. Small binaries are now always returned
as heap binaries.
* stdlib: Display a more meaningful error message when a bad I/O
server is used in a script written in Erlang (escript).
* stdlib: New feature ets:info(_, binary) to get information
about all reference counted binaries kept by a table. This is
the same kind of debug information that process_info(_, binary)
returns for a process.
* stdlib: Corrected ETS documentation about the behavior of
compiled match specifications when serialized through external
format.
* tools: cover would fail to start if two processes tried to
start it at the exact same time.
* common_test: If a ct hook is installed in the suite/0 function
in a test suite, then the hook's terminate/1 function would be
called several times without it's init/2 function being called
first. This is now corrected.
* common_test: If init_per_testcase fails, the test itself is
skipped. According to the documentation, it should be possible
to change the result to failed in a hook function. The only
available hook function in this case is post_init_per_testcase,
but changing the return value there did not affect the test
case result. This is now corrected.
* common_test: Add ct_netconfc support for NETCONF 1.1 (RFC
6241). The 1.1 base capability can be sent in hello, and RFC
6242 chunk framing is applied when both client and server
advertise 1.1 support.
* common_test: Correct lib_dir paths in common_tests opaque data
structure that is passed to ct_release_test callback modules in
functions upgrade_init/2, upgrade_upgraded/2 and
upgrade_downgraded/2. The incorrect paths may cause confusion
when debugging although it will not cause any incorrect
behavior on the part of common_test as it is currently not
used.
* erts: If you set {linger,{true,0}} on a gen_tcp listen socket,
accept a connection on that socket, and then close the accepted
socket, now the linger zero setting is transferred to the
accepted socket. Before this correction that information was
lost and the close behaviour on the accepted socket incorrect.
* erts: Sending ancillary data implemented in OTP-15747
accidentally left behind test code that caused all UDP sends to
fail on Windows. This has now been fixed.
* erts: In the socket nif, used invalid flags when if-def'ing for
supported TCP flags: TCP_MAXSEG and TCP_NODELAY (the support
function).
* erts: Fixed memory leaks in experimental socket module.
* erts: re:run() now yields when validating utf8 in a large
subject.
* erts: Fixed bug in seq_trace:set_token(label,Term) which could
cause VM crash if Term was heap allocated (not an atom, small
integer, local pid or port). Bug exists since OTP 21.0 when
terms other than small integers were first allowed as labels.
* erts: Extra -mode flags given to erl are ignored with a
warning.
* erts: Don't loop indefinitely when --enable-pgo is given to
configure, but compiler does not support pgo.
* erts: Fix seq_trace:print/2 not to raise badarg exception if
label is not a small integer. Bug exists since OTP 21.0.
* erts: Fixed hipe_flush_icache_range for non-Linux OS on ARM.
* erts: The fix in OTP-15871 was too conservative and disabled
the offending load-time optimization in some cases where it was
safe.
* erts: Upgraded the ERTS internal PCRE library from version 8.42
to version 8.43. See http://pcre.org/original/changelog.txt for
information about changes made to PCRE. This library implements
major parts of the re regular expressions module.
* erts: Fix race condition when closing a socket while using
{active,N} on Windows.
* erts: Allow more than one -config command line option to erl on
Windows to conform with other OS.
* erts: Fix so that ERL_FLAGS environment variable does not
interfere with command line arguments. Before this fix you
could write: ERL_FLAGS="10" erl +S and erlang would start as if
+S had been given the argument 10.
* erts: The bug with ID ERL-717 has been fixed. The functions
io:columns() and io:rows() only worked correctly inside
interactive erlang shells before this fix. These functions
returned {error,enotsup} before this fix even if stdout and
stdin were connected to a terminal when they were invoked from
an escript or a program started with e.g., erl -noshell.
* erts: Do not use named label in ethread.c inline assemble. This
allows erts to be compiled using gcc 9.1.0 with LTO enabled.
* erts: erlang:fun_to_list/1 will now escape the module and
function name when necessary.
* erts: process_info(P,binary) would neglect to look through heap
fragments, potentially missing a few binaries associated with
the process.
* erts: HiPE is now automatically disabled on systems with non-
glibc implementation (for instance musl). This is because musl
does not provide the API's for guaranteeing that signals are
delivered on the correct native stack.
* erts: Fixed bug triggered if a process is killed during call to
persistent_term:put or persistent_term:erase.
* erts: Add units to all memory slogans in the crash dump
documentation.
* erts: Fix a bug in binary_to_term that would crash the emulator
if a term larger than 16GB was to be decoded.
* erts: Fixed bug related to an exiting process sending EXIT and
DOWN signals to remote linked/monitored processes. Bugs exists
since OTP 22.0.
* erts: erlc can now automatically use a compile server to avoid
starting an Erlang system for each file to be compiled in a
multi-file project. See the documentation for how to enable it.
* erts: The possibility to send ancillary data, in particular the
TOS field, has been added to gen_udp:send/4,5.
* erts: The net module has been split into 'net' (kernel) and
prim_net (preloaded).
* erts: Socket counters now works as expected and can also be
extracted with the (new) info function.
* erts: re:run() now avoids validating utf8 in the subject more
than once in the same call. This validation could previously be
performed multiple times when the global option was passed.
* erts: The un-documented function erlang:dist_get_stat/1 now
returns the real value of what the distribution queue contains
instead of a boolean.
* erts: ETS ordered_set tables with write_concurrency enabled has
got a performance issue fixed. There were no limits for the
values of internal statistics counters before this fix. This
could result in that the data structure sometimes reacted
slowly to a change in how many parallel processes were using
it.
* erts: Optimize the reception of large distribution messages.
* erts: Binary matching and functions like split_binary/2 will
now create heap binaries when the results are small enough,
reducing the chances of small sub-binaries keeping large
binaries alive.
* erts: Fixed rare emulator crash in instrument:allocations/0-1.
* erts: Ports could pass very small binaries as reference counted
off heap binaries to processes. This could cause an unnecessary
large memory usage and an unnecessary load on the binary
allocator. Small binaries are now always passed as heap
binaries to processes.
* erts: unicode:characters_to_binary() could return very small
binaries as reference counted off heap binaries. This could
cause an unnecessary large memory usage and an unnecessary load
on the binary allocator. Small binaries are now always returned
as heap binaries.
* erts: Improved erl_nif documentation regarding on_load and
Erlang stub/fallback functions.
* erts: New feature ets:info(_, binary) to get information about
all reference counted binaries kept by a table. This is the
same kind of debug information that process_info(_, binary)
returns for a process.
* erl_docgen: Update the documentation build support to handle
FOP 2.1 .
* ftp: A possibly infinite loop when receiving messages divided
in parts is removed.
* dialyzer: Allow native compilation when using Dialyzer from
Erlang. The options native (defaults to false) and native_cache
have been added.
* eunit: Handle get_until request with explicit encoding in the
implementation of the I/O protocol.
* snmp: Fix various minor issues related to Dialyzer. Mostly
these are dialyzer warnings, but there was also some minor bugs
detected by Dialyzer.
* snmp: Fixed a dets usage problem detected by dialyzer.
* snmp: The function snmp:print_version_info() prints various
version info. For each module a number of items are printed,
such as app vsn and md5 digest. And an attempt was also made to
print "compile time". This used to be available in the
module_info for each module, but has now been removed.
* snmp: The use of the deprecated random module has been replaced
the with rand module.
* snmp: Removed use of the deprecated function
erlang:get_stacktrace(). Instead make use of the 'catch
Class:Error:Stacktrace' feature.
* syntax_tools: Add missing calls to erl_syntax:unwrap/1. The
nodes concerned represent names and values of maps and map
types.
* wx: Fix a driver bug that could crashes when allocating memory.
* erl_interface: Fix bugs in ei_print_term for binaries and bit
strings causing incorrect output.
* erl_interface: Fixed bug in ei_decode_fun for very old fun
encoding format. Bug exist since OTP 22.0.
* erl_interface: ei_print_term() now supports printing of maps
and funs.
* xmerl: xmerl_sax_parser crashed during charset detection when
the xml declarations attribute values was missing the closing
quotation (' or ").
* ssl: Handling of zero size fragments in TLS could cause an
infinite loop. This has now been corrected.
* ssl: DTLS record check needs to consider that a resent hello
message can have a different version than the negotiated.
* ssl: Basic support for TLS 1.3 Client for experimental use. For
more information see the Standards Compliance chapter of the
User's Guide.
* ssl: Correct solution for retaining tcp flow control OTP-15802
(ERL-934) as to not break ssl:recv as reported in (ERL-938)
* ssl: Enhance dialyzer specs to reflect implementation better
and avoid dialyzer warnings for the user that wants to use TLS
with unix domain sockets.
* ssl: Add support for ECDSA signature algorithms in TLS 1.3.
* ssl: Correct error handling of TLS downgrade, possible return
values form ssl:close/2 when downgrading is {ok, Port} or
{error, Reason}, it could happen that only ok was returned
instead of {error, closed} when downgrade failed due to that
the peer closed the TCP connection.
* os_mon: Fix disk_sup to ignore squashfs on Linux when
determining if a mounted filesystem is full or not.
* os_mon: Fix bug where cpu_sup:util() always returned 100% on
systems not using gnu libc, for example Alpine OS.
* ssh: Fixed wrong type definition for the daemon option
subsystems.
* ssh: Fixed a possible SSH logging crash if there was a problem
in an early stage of session setup.
* ssh: The documentation for the modules ssh_connection, ssh_sftp
and ssh_sftpd are now generated from the -spec:s.
* ssh: Internal cleanup including removal of the internal file
ssh_userauth.hrl.
* ssh: Removed unused definitions in ssh.hrl.
* ssh: Removed unused fields in the internal #connection{}
record.
* ssh: To get information of a connection_ref() from for example
ssh:connect/3, there was previously one function available
namely ssh:connection_info/2. This ticket adds
ssh:connection_info/1 which returns all information. For
daemons (servers) started with for example ssh:daemon/2 the
function ssh:daemon_info/1 returning all information was
available. This ticket adds ssh:daemon_info/2 which returns
only the information specified in the second argument. The info
of connections and of daemons now also includes the item
'options'. Only those options that does not have their default
values are returned. For a connection also the items
'algorithms' and 'channels' are added.
* inets: httpd - Accept singel LF as line terminator
* inets: mod_esi will now always propagate the actual HTTP status
code that it answered with, to later mod-modules, and not in
some cases hardcode 200.
* compiler: Code such as the following would crash the compiler
in OTP 22: [some_atom = fun some_function/1]
* compiler: Compilation could get really slow (in the order of
minutes instead of seconds) when compiling huge functions.
(Thanks to Kostis Sagonas for reporting this bug.)
* compiler: Fixed a bug in the validator that could reject valid
code.
* compiler: In rare circumstances, when two clauses had identical
bodies and guard tests that tested a single boolean variable,
the guard test for the second clause could be discarded,
executing the second clause unconditionally if the first clause
was not executed.
* compiler: Fixed extremely slow compilation for huge functions
doing predominantly pattern matching.
* compiler: The compiler could generate unsafe code (that would
crash the runtime system) for map pattern matching. The code
could be unsafe if the matched key was not present in the map
at runtime.
* compiler: Correct code using try/after could fail to compile
when using the option 'no_type_opt'.
* compiler: The compiler could crash when compiling code that
called 'length/1' on a binary extracted using the binary
syntax.
* compiler: Fixed a bug where the compiler could fail with an
internal consistency failure error when compiling receive
statements.
* compiler: Fixed a problem where the compiler would crash when
compiling binary matching in a function head.
* public_key: Support Password based encryption with AES
* public_key: Change dialyzer spec to avoid confusion
* runtime_tools: Fix dbg:stop_clear/0 to also clear trace events
(send and 'receive').
* megaco: Fix various minor issues related to Dialyzer. Mostly
these are dialyzer warnings, but there was also some minor bugs
detected by Dialyzer.
* crypto: The implementation of crypto_one_time/4 is adjusted to
match the type specification. The spec and the black-box
behaviour of the function are unchanged. Some details: Both the
spec and the implementation were correct seen separately. But
with both of them combined simultaneously with
crypto_one_time/5 which was called by the implementation of
crypto_one_time/4, an (obvious) error was detected by a
Dialyzer with more thorough checking than usual.
* crypto: When using crypto with FIPS mode enabled, the digests
were not correctly handled.
* crypto: A memory leak in error handling code in
ng_crypto_init_nif is fixed.
* crypto: Fixed the broken static build of the crypto nifs
* crypto: The Message Authentication Codes (MAC) CMAC, HMAC and
Poly1305 are unified into common functions in the New Crypto
API. See the manual for CRYPTO.
* sasl: The net module has been split into 'net' (kernel) and
prim_net (preloaded).
* jinterface: Replaced deprecated <tt> with <code> in
documentation.

provided by the package (boo#1142645).
- Use %make_build macro.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Jul 29 08:15:47 UTC 2019 - opensuse-packaging@opensuse.org
- Add patch 0001-erts-Do-not-use-named-no_cpuid-label-in-asm.patch:
fix boo#1142913
- Changes for 22.0.7:
* compiler: Fixed a compiler crash introduced in 22.0.6
(OTP-15952).
- Changes for 22.0.6:
* compiler: Fixed an unsafe optimization when matching
tuple_size/1 outside of guards, which could crash the emulator
if the argument was not a tuple.
* compiler: Fixed a rare bug that could cause the wrong kind of
exception to be thrown when a BIF failed in a function that
matched bitstrings.
* compiler: Fixed a bug where receive statements inside try/catch
blocks could return incorrect results.
* ssl: Enhance error handling for erroneous alerts from the peer.
* hipe: The HiPE compiler would badly miscompile certain
try/catch expressions, so it will now refuse to compile modules
containing try or catch. As a consequence of this, dialyzer
will no longer compile key modules to native code. ***
POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
* dialyzer: The HiPE compiler would badly miscompile certain
try/catch expressions, so it will now refuse to compile modules
containing try or catch. As a consequence of this, dialyzer
will no longer compile key modules to native code. ***
POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
- Changes for 22.0.5:
* inets: Fix a regression in http client that causes a crash when
request URI has no scheme.
* ssl: Fix handling of certificate decoding problems in TLS 1.3
similarly as in TLS 1.2.
* ssl: Hibernation now works as expected in all cases, was
accidently broken by optimization efforts.
* ssl: Fix interoperability problems with openssl when the TLS
1.3 server is configured wirh the option signature_algs_cert.
* dialyzer: Make sure Dialyzer does not crash if the formatting
of results fails. Instead of crashing, an unformatted version
of the results is returned.
* erts: An invalid value test caused the socket:setopt(Socket,
ip, add_membership, ip_mreq()) to fail with badarg. The same
for drop_membership.
* erts: Fixed bug causing VM crash when doing textual dump of a
process containing an unhandled monitor down signal. Textual
process dumps can be done with erlang:system_info(procs), trace
feature process_dump, Erlang shell break menu and a crashdump.
Bug exist since OTP 21.0.
* erts: lists:subtract/2 would produce incorrect results for some
inputs on 64-bit platforms.
* erts: Fixed a bug in the loader that was similar to OTP-15938,
yielding incorrect code for some inputs on 64-bit platforms.
* erts: Fixed bug causing scheduler threads in rare cases to
block spinnning indefinitely. Bug exists since OTP 21.0.

Tue Jun 25 10:23:44 UTC 2019 - Gabriele Santomaggio <g.santomaggio@gmail.com>
- Version 22.0.4:
* http://erlang.org/download/OTP-22.0.4.README
- Bug Fixes
* erts: Fixed a buffer overflow when binary_to_existing_atom/2
and list_to_existing_atom/2 was used with the latin1
encoding.
* erts: The runtime system disconnected a connection if it
received an exit/2 signal where the recipient was a
process on an old incarnation of the current node. That
is, the receiving node had the same node name, but
another "creation" number. The signal will now just be
dropped since the receiving process no longer exists.
* kernel: user/user_drv could respond to io requests before they
had been processed, which could cause data to be
dropped if the emulator was halted soon after a call to
io:format/2, such as in an escript.
* ssl: Correct handshake handling, might cause strange
symptoms such as ASN.1 certificate decoding issues.
* ssl: Fix handling of the signature_algorithms_cert extension
in the ClientHello handshake message.
* ssl:Handle new ClientHello extensions when handshake is
paused by the {handshake, hello} ssl option.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Jun 16 07:47:56 UTC 2019 - Matwey V. Kornilov <matwey.kornilov@gmail.com>
- Version 22.0:
- Potential Incompatibilities:
* gen_* behaviours: If logging of the last N messages through
sys:log/2,3 is active for the server, this log is included in
the terminate report.
* reltool: A new element, Opts, can now be included in a rel
tuple in the reltool release specific configuration format:
{rel, Name, Vsn, RelApps, Opts}.
* All external pids/ports/refs created by erlang:list_to_pid and
similar functions now compare equal to any other pid/port/ref
with same number from that node.
* The old legacy erl_interface library is deprecated as of OTP
22, and will be removed in OTP 23. This does not apply to the
ei library.
* VxWorks is deprecated as of OTP 22 and will be removed in OTP
23.
- New Features:
* Support for Erlang Distribution protocol to split the payload
of large messages into several fragments.
* ETS option write_concurrency now also effects and improves
scalability of ordered_set tables.
* The length/1 BIF used to calculate the length of the list in
one go without yielding, even if the list was very long. Now it
yields when called with long lists.
* A new (still experimental) module socket is introduced. It is
implemented as a NIF and the idea is that it shall be as "close
as possible" to the OS level socket interface.
* Added the NIF function enif_term_type, which helps avoid long
sequences of enif_is_xyz by returning the type of the given
term. This is especially helpful for NIFs that serialize terms,
such as JSON encoders, where it can improve both performance
and readability.
* The compiler has been rewritten to internally use an
intermediate representation based on Static Single Assignment
(SSA). The new intermediate representation makes more
optimizations possible.
* All compiler options that can be given in the source file can
now be given in the option list on the command line for erlc.
* In OTP 22, HiPE (the native code compiler) is not fully
functional. The reasons for this are new BEAM instructions for
binary matching that the HiPE native code compiler does not
support. If erlc is invoked with the +native option, and if any
of the new binary matching instructions are used, the compiler
will issue a warning and produce a BEAM file without native
code.
* Cover now uses the counters module instead of ets for updating
counters. The new function cover:local_only/0 allows running
Cover in a restricted but faster local-only mode. The increase
in speed will vary depending on the type of code being
cover-compiled, as an example the compiler test suite runs more
than twice as fast with the new Cover.
* A simple socket API is provided through the socket module. This
is a low level API that does *not* replace gen_[tcp|udp|sctp].
It is intended to *eventually* replace the inet driver. It also
provides a basic API that facilitates the implementation of
other protocols than TCP, UDP and SCTP. Known issues are; No
support for the Windows OS (currently), a small term leakage.
This feature will be classed as experimental in OTP 22.
* SSL: now uses the new logger API, including log levels and
verbose debug logging.
* SSL: Basic support for TLS 1.3 Server for experimental use.
* crypto: The new hash_info/1 and cipher_info/1 functions returns
maps with information about the hash or cipher in the argument.
- The application otp_mibs has been removed from OTP.

- Update to 21.3.8.1:
- Changes for 21.3.8.1:
* http://erlang.org/download/OTP-21.3.8.1.README
* erts: Fixed a buffer overflow when binary_to_existing_atom/2
and list_to_existing_atom/2 was used with the latin1
encoding.
* ssl: Correct solution for retaining tcp flow control
OTP-15802 (ERL-934) as to not break ssl:recv as
reported in (ERL-938)
* tools: cover would fail to start if two processes tried to
start it at the exact same time.
- Update to 21.3.8:
- Changes for 21.3.8:
* http://erlang.org/download/OTP-21.3.8.README
* common_test: The test result when a hook function fails is in
general the same as if the function that the hook is
associated with fails. For example, if
post_init_per_testcase fails the result is that the
test case is skipped, as is the case when
init_per_testcase fails.This, however, was earlier not
true for timetrap timeouts or other error situations
where the process running the hook function was killed.
This is now corrected, so the error handling should be
the same no matter how the hook function fails.
Related Id(s): ERIERL-334
* common_test: In some rare cases, when two common_test nodes used the
same log directory, a timing problem could occur which
caused common_test to crash because it's log cache file
was unexpectedly empty. This is now corrected.
Related Id(s): ERIERL-342
* common_test: Two new common_test hook functions are introduced:
post_groups/2, which is called after Suite:groups/0
post_all/3, which is called after Suite:all/0
A new term, {testcase,TestCase,RepeatProperties} is now
also allowed in the return from all/0. This can be used
for repeating a single test case a specific number of
times, or until it fails or succeeds once.
* eldap, public_key, ssl: Back port of bug fix ERL-893 from OTP-22 and document
enhancements that will solve dialyzer warnings for
users of the ssl application.
This change also affects public_key, eldap (and inet doc).
Related Id(s): ERL-893, ERL-929, PR-2215
* erl_interface: erl_interface/ei refused to use node names with an
alive name (the part of the node name preceding the @
sign) longer than 63 characters and a host name longer
than 64 characters. The total amount of characters
allowed in a node name (alivename@hostname) was thus
limited to 128 characters. These limits applied both to
the own node name as well as node names of other nodes.
Ordinary Erlang nodes limit the node name length to 256
characters, which meant that you could not communicate
with certain Erlang nodes due to their node name used.
erl_interface/ei now allow the total amount of
characters in a node name to be up to 256 characters.
These characters may be distributed between alive name
and host name in whatever way needed. That is, the
maximum amount of characters in the alive name may be
254 and the maximum amount of characters in the host
name may be 254, but in total the node name must not
exceed 256 characters.
* erts: Fixed more bugs in process_info(reductions) causing it
to sometimes behave non-monotonic. That is, a
subsequent call toward the same process could return a
lower reduction value.
Related Id(s): ERIERL-337, OTP-15709
* ssl: Missing check of size of user_data_buffer made internal
socket behave as an active socket instead of active N.
This could cause memory problems.
* eldap, public_key, ssl: Back port of bug fix ERL-893 from OTP-22 and document
enhancements that will solve dialyzer warnings for
users of the ssl application.
This change also affects public_key, eldap (and inet doc).
* stdlib: A bug in gen_statem has been fixed where the internal
timeout message could arrive as an info to the callback
module during high load due to incorrect use of
asynchronous timer cancel.

- Update to 21.3.7:
- Changes for 21.3.7:
* http://erlang.org/download/OTP-21.3.7.README
* ssh: When an SSH server receives the very first message on a
new TCP connection, and that message is not the
expected one, the 64 first bytes of the received
message are now dumped in the INFO REPORT that reports
the Protocol Error.
This facilitates the debugging of who sends the bad
message or of detecting a possible port scanning

* http://erlang.org/download/OTP-21.3.6.README
* ssl: With the default BEAST Mitigation strategy for TLS 1.0
an empty TLS fragment could be sent after a one-byte
fragment. This glitch has been fixed.

- Update to 21.3.5:
- Changes for 21.3.5:
* http://erlang.org/download/OTP-21.3.5.README
* diameter: Fix inadvertently broad monitor that resulted in
gen_server cast messages to hidden nodes from module
diameter_dist.
* erts: Add missing documentation of new external tags NEW_PID,
NEW_PORT and NEWER_REFERENCE introduced in OTP 19.
These new tags are planned to be "activated" in OTP 23
when distribution capability flag DFLAG_BIG_CREATION
becomes mandatory. Older nodes (>= 19) are able to
decode these new tags and send them back to the new
node. Nodes older than OTP 23 will however never encode
their own local pids, ports and references using the
new tags.
* inets: Fix the internal handling of the option
erl_script_timeout in httpd. If explicit
erl_script_timeout value was supplied in seconds it was
not correctly converted to millisecond units for
internal usage.
This change fixes the handling of erl_script_timeout in
all possible configuration scenarios.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Apr 15 09:13:44 UTC 2019 - Gabriele Santomaggio <g.santomaggio@gmail.com>
- Update to 21.3.4:
- Changes for 21.3.4:
* http://erlang.org/download/OTP-21.3.4.README
* crypto: Fixed build link error on Windows. Unresolved symbol
'bcmp'.
* erl_interface: Fix handling of Makefile dependencies so that parallel
make works properly.
* erts: Fix erlang:open_port/2 with the fd option to correctly
cleanup the pollset when the port is closed. Before
this fix there would be error printouts sent to logger
when the same fd was reused in a new port.
* ssh: The callback ssh_channel:init/1 was missing in OTP-21
* ssh: If a client was connected to an server on an already
open socket, the callback fun(PeerName,FingerPrint) in
the accept_callback option passed the local name in the
argument PeerName instead of the remote name.
* common_test: OTP internal test improvements.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Apr 02 12:05:44 UTC 2019 - Gabriele Santomaggio <g.santomaggio@gmail.com>
- Update to 21.3.3:
- Changes for 21.3.3:
* http://erlang.org/download/OTP-21.3.3.README
* erts: Fixed a bug in seq_trace:reset_trace/0 that could crash
the emulator.
* erts: Fixed bug in process_info(reductions) causing it to
sometimes return invalid results.
* kernel/stdlib: Fixed a performance regression when reading files
opened with the compressed flag.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Mar 26 09:18:44 UTC 2019 - Gabriele Santomaggio <g.santomaggio@gmail.com>
- Update to 21.3.2:
- Changes for 21.3.2:
* http://erlang.org/download/OTP-21.3.2.README
* erts: If a suspend/resume signal pair was sent to a process
while it was executing dirty, the receiving process
could later end up in a suspended state indefinitely.
This bug was introduced in ERTS version 10.0 (OTP
21.0).
* etrs: Fix a possible deadlock when terminating the ERTS
caused by a dirty scheduler not releasing it's
run-queue lock when terminating.
* xmerl: Handling of character references in attributes are
fixed.
* xmerl: Normalization of whitespace characters in attributes
are fixed so it works when character references are
used.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Mar 20 11:32:44 UTC 2019 - Gabriele Santomaggio <g.santomaggio@gmail.com>
- Update to 21.3.1:
- Changes for 21.3.1:
* http://erlang.org/download/OTP-21.3.1.README
* erl_interface: Fixed two bugs in the erl_call program. A missing
initialization (introduced in erl_interface-3.11) which
either caused a crash or failure to connect to or start
a node, and an incorrectly calculated timeout which
could cause failure to start an erlang node. These bugs
only caused failures on some platforms.
* ssl: The timeout for a passive receive was sometimes not
cancelled and later caused a server crash. This bug has
now been corrected.
* ssl: Add tag for passive message (active N) in cb_info to
retain transport transparency.
- Update to 21.3:
- Changes for 21.3:
* http://erlang.org/download/OTP-21.3.README
* Erlang/OTP 21.3 is the third service release for the 21st major release
with improvements, as well as a few features
* Highlights
* Kernel: The standard logger handler, logger_std_h, now has a new internal
feature for log rotation. For full information see the documentation.
* SSL:The Reason part of the error return from the functions connect and
handshake has a better and documented format. This is a potential
incompatibility. See the documentation.
Refactoring of state handling has improved the TLS application data
throughput and reduced CPU overhead
Code optimizations has reduced CPU load for encryption/decryption,
especially for Erlang's distribution protocol over TLS
Now supports active N
* Erl_interface: Support for plugin of a user supplied socket implementation has been added.
* OTP:The HTML reference documentation now shows the OTP version where
modules and functions were first introduced. Versions of OTP older than R13B04 is not shown in the reference
documentation
* For a full list of details see:
http://erlang.org/download/otp_src_21.3.readme
- Update to 21.2.7:
- Changes for 21.2.7:
* http://erlang.org/download/OTP-21.2.7.README
* erts, otp: Fixes of install/release phase in build system.
-- The source tree was modified when
installing/releasing and/or applying a patch.
-- Some files were installed with wrong access rights.
-- If applying a patch (using otp_patch_apply) as
another user (except root) than the user that built the
source, the documentation was not properly updated.
* erts, kernel: Setting the recbuf size of an inet socket the buffer is
also automatically increased. Fix a bug where the auto
adjustment of inet buffer size would be triggered even
if an explicit inet buffer size had already been set.
* erts: Reading from UDP using active true or active N mode has
been optimized when more packets than specified by
read_packets are available on the socket.
* erts, kernel: Setting the recbuf size of an inet socket the buffer is
also automatically increased. Fix a bug where the auto
adjustment of inet buffer size would be triggered even
if an explicit inet buffer size had already been set.

- Update to 21.2.6:
- Changes for 21.2.6:
* http://erlang.org/download/OTP-21.2.6.README
* erts: When using the {linger,{true,T}} option;
gen_tcp:listen/2 used the full linger time before
returning for example eaddrinuse. This bug has now been
corrected.
* stdlib: Optimize pretty printing of terms. The slower behaviour
was introduced in Erlang/OTP 20.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

- Update to 21.2.5:
- Changes for 21.2.5:
* http://erlang.org/download/OTP-21.2.5.README
* inets: Fixed bug that causes a crash in http client when using
hostnames (e.g. localhost) with the the option
ipv6_host_with_brackets set to true.
This change also fixes a regression: httpc:request
fails with connection error (nxdomain) if option
ipv6_host_with_brackets set to true and host component
of the URI is an IPv6 address.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Jan 25 15:26:37 UTC 2019 - Gabriele Santomaggio <g.santomaggio@gmail.com>
- update to 21.2.4:
- Changes for 21.2.4:
* http://erlang.org/download/OTP-21.2.4.README
* erts: Fix bug where doing a gen_tcp:send on a socket with
delay_send set to true could cause a segfault if the
other side closes the connection.
Bug was introduced in erts-10.2 (OTP-21.2).
* erts: Fix a race condition when a port program closes that
could result in the next started port to hang during
startup.
Bug was introduced in erts-10.0 (OTP-21.0).
* erts: Fix a bug where polling for external events could be
delayed for a very long time if all active schedulers
were 100% loaded.
Bug was introduced in erts-10.2 (OTP-21.2).
* inets: Make sure ipv6 addresses with brackets in URIs are
converted correctly before passing to lower level
functions like gen_tcp and ssl functions. Could cause
connection to fail.
- update to 21.2.3:
- Changes for 21.2.3:
* http://erlang.org/download/OTP-21.2.3.README
* compiler: An optimization that avoided allocation of a stack
frame for some case expressions was introduced in OTP
21. (ERL-504/OTP-14808) It turns out that in rare
circumstances, this optimization is not safe.
Therefore, this optimization has been disabled.
* erts: Fixed a crash when dangling files were closed after
init:restart/0.
* erts: A bug that could cause dirty schedulers to become
unresponsive has been fixed.
* ssl: Fix encoding of the SRP extension length field in ssl.
The old encoding of the SRP extension length could
cause interoperability problems with third party SSL
implementations when SRP was used.
* ssl: Guarantee active once data delivery, handling TCP
stream properly.
Correct gen_statem returns for some error cases
* xmerl: The charset detection parsing crash in some cases when
the XML directive is not syntactic correct.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Dec 31 17:59:37 UTC 2018 - Gabriele Santomaggio <g.santomaggio@gmail.com>
- update to 21.2.2:
- Changes for 21.2.2:
* http://erlang.org/download/OTP-21.2.2.README
* ssh: Fixed port leakage if a ssh:daemon call failed.
- update to 21.2.1:
- Changes for 21.2.1:
* http://erlang.org/download/OTP-21.2.1.README
* erts: Fixed bug on big endian architectures when changing
file permissions or ownership with file:change_mode,
change_owner, change_group or write_file_info. Bug
exists since OTP-21.0.
* erts: Fixed bug in operator band of two negative operands
causing erroneous result if the absolute value of one
of the operands have the lowest N*W bits as zero and
the other absolute value is not larger than N*W bits. N
is an integer of 1 or larger and W is 32 or 64
depending on word size.
* ssl: Fixed renegotiation bug. Client did not handle server
initiated renegotiation correctly after rewrite to two
connection processes, due to ERL-622 commit
d87ac1c55188f5ba5cdf72384125d94d42118c18. This could
manifest it self as a " bad_record_mac" alert.
Also included are some optimizations
- update to 21.2:
- Changes for 21.2:
* http://erlang.org/download/OTP-21.2.README
* HIGHLIGHTS
* erts, sasl: New counters and atomics modules supplies access to
highly efficient operations on mutable fixed word sized
variables.
* erts: There is a new module persistent_term that implements a
term storage suitable for terms that are frequently
used but never or infrequently updated. Lookups are
done in constant time without copying the terms.
* ssh: Requires OpenSSL 1.1.1 or higher as cryptolib under the
OTP application crypto.
* ssl: *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
ssl now uses active n internally to boost performance.
Old active once behavior can be restored by setting
application variable see manual page for ssl
application (man 6).
* erts: Add a new pollset that is made to handle sockets that
use {active, true} or {active, N}. The new pollset will
not be polled by a pollthread, but instead polled by a
normal scheduler.
This change was made because of the overhead associated
with constantly having to re-apply the ONESHOT
mechanism on fds that all input events were
interesting.
The new pollset is only active on platforms that
support concurrent kernel poll updates, i.e. Linux and
BSD.
* POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITIES:
kernel: A new function, logger:update_handler_config/3 is
added, and the handler callback changing_config now has
a new argument, SetOrUpdate, which indicates if the
configuration change comes from set_handler_config/2,3
or update_handler_config/2,3.
This allows the handler to consistently merge the new
configuration with the old (if the change comes from
update_handler_config/2,3) or with the default (if the
change comes from set_handler_config/2,3).
The built-in handlers logger_std_h and
logger_disk_log_h are updated accordingly. A bug which
could cause inconsistency between the handlers'
internal state and the stored configuration is also
corrected.
* ssl: ssl now uses active n internally to boost performance.
Old active once behavior can be restored by setting
application variable see manual page for ssl
application (man 6).

Fri Nov 17 22:39:41 UTC 2018 - Gabriele Santomaggio <g.santomaggio@gmail.com>
- update to 21.1.2:
- Changes for 21.1.2:
* http://erlang.org/download/OTP-21.1.2.README
* compiler: Fixed a bug where incorrect code was generated
following a binary match guard.
* erts: Fixed a rare bug where files could be closed on a
normal instead of an IO scheduler, resulting in system
instability if the operation blocked.
* public_key: Add DSA SHA2 oids in public_keys ASN1-spec and
public_key:pkix_sign_types/1
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Nov 8 17:16:08 UTC 2018 - Markos Chandras <mchandras@suse.de>
- Fix instructions for changing address for epmd.socket service. The
ListenStream option needs to be completely overriden otherwise the
socket will be started with multiple ListenStream options and it
will fail.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Nov 2 21:24:41 UTC 2018 - Gabriele Santomaggio <g.santomaggio@gmail.com>
- update to 21.1.1:
- Changes for 21.1.1:
- http://erlang.org/download/OTP-21.1.1.README
* erts: Fixed a memory leak on errors when reading files.
* ssl: From ssl-9.0.2. CLOSE ALERTS could under some
circumstances be encoded using an incorrect cipher
state. This would cause the peer to regard them as
unknown messages.
* ssl: Correct handling of socket packet option with new TLS
sender process, from ssl-9.0.2. When changing the
socket option {packet, 1|2|3|4} with ssl:setopts/2 the
option must internally be propagated to the sender
process as well as the reader process as this
particular option also affects the data to be sent.
* eldap: A race condition at close could cause the eldap client
to exit with a badarg message as cause.
- Changes for 21.1:
- http://erlang.org/download/OTP-21.1.README
* ssh: The key exchange methods
'curve25519-sha256@libssh.org', 'curve25519-sha256' and
'curve448-sha512' are implemented. The last two are
defined in
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-curdle-ssh-curves
They all depends on that OpenSSL 1.1.1 or higher is
used as cryptolib.
* crypto: The typing in the CRYPTO and PUBLIC_KEY applications
are reworked and a few mistakes are corrected.
The documentation is now generated from the typing and
some clarifications are made.
A new chapter on Algorithm Details such as key sizes
and availability is added to the CRYPTO User's Guide.
* erts: The socket options recvtos, recvttl, recvtclass and
pktoptions have been implemented in the socket modules.
See the documentation for the gen_tcp, gen_udp and inet
modules. Note that support for these in the runtime
system is platform dependent. Especially for pktoptions
which is very Linux specific and obsoleted by the RFCs
that defined it.
* ssh: The cipher 'chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com' is now
supported if OpenSSL 1.1.1 or higher is used as
cryptolib.
- Changes for 21.0.9:
- http://erlang.org/download/OTP-21.0.9.README
* compiler: Fix a regression in OTP-15204 that removed .beam file
metadata that some external build tools relied on.
* erts: As of ERTS version 10.0 (OTP 21.0) the erl_child_setup
program, which creates port programs, ignores TERM
signals. This setting was unintentionally inherited by
port programs. Handling of TERM signals in port
programs has now been restored to the default behavior.
That is, terminate the process.
* erts: The fix made for OTP-15279 in erts-10.07 (OTP-21.0.8)
was not complete. It could cause a new connection
attempt to be incorrectly aborted in certain cases.
This fix will amend that flaw.
- Changes for 21.0.8:
- http://erlang.org/download/OTP-21.0.8.
* erts: A process could get stuck in an infinite rescheduling
loop between normal and dirty schedulers. This bug was
introduced in ERTS version 10.0.
* erts: Garbage collection of a distribution entry could cause
an emulator crash if net_kernel had not brought
previous connection attempts on it down properly.
* kernel: Fixed bug in net_kernel that could cause an emulator
crash if certain connection attempts failed. Bug exists
since kernel-6.0 (OTP-21.0).
- Changes for 21.0.7:
- http://erlang.org/download/OTP-21.0.7.
* erts: A race between termination of a process and resume of
the same process via erlang:resume_process/1 could
cause the VM to crash. This bug was introduced in erts
version 10.0 (OTP 21.0).
* erts: When tracing on running, in trace events could be lost
when a process was rescheduled between a dirty and a
normal scheduler.
- Changes for 21.0.6:
- http://erlang.org/download/OTP-21.0.6.README
* crypto: Update the crypto engine functions to handle multiple
loads of an engine.
* inets: Change status code for no mod found to handle request
to 501
* ssl: Correct cipher suite handling for ECDHE_*, the
incorrect handling could cause an incorrrect suite to
be selected and most likly fail the handshake.
- Changes for 21.0.5:
- http://erlang.org/download/OTP-21.0.5.README
* POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITIES 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.
* compiler: Fixed an issue where files compiled with the
+deterministic option differed if they were compiled in
a different directory but were otherwise identical.
* crypto: Fixed a node crash in crypto:compute_key(ecdh, ...)
when passing a wrongly typed Others argument.
* 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.
- Changes for 21.0.4:
- http://erlang.org/download/OTP-21.0.4.README
* erts: Fixed a crash when matching directly against a literal
map using a single key that had been saved on the
stack.
* erts: Fix node crash when passing a bad time option to
file:read_file_info/2.
- Changes for 21.0.3:
- http://erlang.org/download/OTP-21.0.3.README
* otp: Build support for the erlang/corba repository.
* erts: Fixed a scheduler bug that caused normal schedulers to
run dirty code.
* erts: Fixed a bug in erlang:trace_info/2 which caused the
emulator to crash when a bad argument was passed. The
bug was introduced in ERTS version 10.0.
- Changes for 21.0.2:
- http://erlang.org/download/OTP-21.0.2.README
* compiler: In rare cases involving matching of binary literal
strings, the compiler could optimize away code that
should be executed.
* compiler:There could be an internal consistency check failure
when compiling code that called map_get(Key, Map) and
then updated the same map.
* compiler: In rare circumstances, the compiler could crash in
beam_jump when compiling a floating point operation.
* erts: Fixed a rare bug that could cause processes to be
scheduled after they had been freed
* erts: Fixed a race condition in the inet driver that could
cause receive to hang when the emulator was compiled
with gcc 8.
* public_key: Fix some of the keylengths in the newly generated moduli
file in public_key are not universally supported. This
could cause the SSH key exchange
diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha* to fail.
Those keylengths are now removed.
* stdlib: Fix a bug that could cause a crash when formatting a
list of non-characters using the control sequences p or
P and limiting the output with the option chars_limit.
- Changes for 21.0.1:
- http://erlang.org/download/OTP-21.0.1.
* compiler:The compiler could crash when compiling a
complicated function that used the binary syntax.
- Changes for 21.0:
- http://erlang.org/download/otp_src_21.0.readme
* Erlang/OTP 21 is a new major release with new features, improvements as well as incompatibilities.
* Potential Incompatibilities:
- All Corba applications are now moved from the OTP repository
- A new Corba repository will be created https://github.com/erlang
- New applications ftp and tftp, moved from inets
- ssl no longer supports 3_DES cipher suites or RSA-key exchange cipher suites by default
- Erlang:monitor on a primitive node (erl_interface, jinterface, etc) will no longer fail with badarg exception.
Instead a monitor will be created, but it will only supervise the connection to the node.
* Highlights:
* Erts:
- Enhanced IO scalability
- Support for usage of distribution controller processes for alternative transports, routing etc
- compact instructions on 64bit systems for code below 4GB 20% less memory for loaded code
- Rewrite of the efile-driver with NIFs and "Dirty schedulers" resulting in faster file operations
non-smp VM removed
- link and monitor optimized for scalability

* Fix a regression in OTP-15204 that removed .beam file metadata
- Changes for 20.3.8.8:
- http://erlang.org/download/OTP-20.3.8.8.README
* inets: Do not use chunked-encoding with 1xx, 204 and 304

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Aug 14 18:57:58 UTC 2018 - matwey.kornilov@gmail.com
- Update to 20.3.8.5.
- Changes for 20.3.8.5:
* 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: Fixed an issue where files compiled with the
+deterministic option differed if they were compiled in a
different directory but were otherwise identical.
* crypto: Fixed a node crash in crypto:compute_key(ecdh, ...)
when passing a wrongly typed Others argument.
* 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.
* 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.
* mnesia: When master node is set do not force a load from
ram_copies replica when there are no available disc_copies,
since that would load an empty table. Wait until a disk
replica is available or until user explicitly force_loads the
table.
* mnesia: Allow to add replicas even if all other replicas are
down when the other replicase are not stored on disk.
* ssl: Correct handling of empty server SNI extension
* ssl: Correct cipher suite handling for ECDHE_*, the incorrect
handling could cause an incorrrect suite to be selected and
most likly fail the handshake.
- Changes for 20.3.8.4:
* asn1: A bug in ASN.1 BER decoding has been fixed. When
decoding a recursively enclosed term the length was not
propagated to that term decoding, so if the length of the
enclosed term was longer than the enclosing that error was not
dectected. A hard coded C stack limitation for decoding
recursive ASN.1 terms has been introduced. This is currently
set to 8 kWords giving a nesting depth of about 1000 levels.
Deeper terms can not be decoded, which should not be much of a
real world limitation.
- Changes for 20.3.8.3:
* erts: Fixed a race condition in the inet driver that could
cause receive to hang when the emulator was compiled with gcc8.
* erts: Fix bug in generation of erl_crash.dump, which could
cause VM to crash. Bug exist since erts-9.2 (OTP-20.2).
* ic: Fixed potential buffer overflow bugs in
oe_ei_encode_long/ulong/longlong/ulonglong functions on 64-bit
architectures. These functions expect 32 bit integers as the
IDL type "long" is defined as 32 bits. But there is nothing
preventing user code from "breaking" the interface and pass
larger values on 64-bit architectures where the C type "long"
is 64 bits.
* inets: Enhance error handling, that is mod_get will return 403
if a path is a directory and not a file.
* kernel: Non semantic change in dist_util.erl to silence
dialyzer warning.
* ssl: Improve cipher suite handling correcting ECC and TLS-1.2
requierments. Backport of solution for ERL-641
* ssl: Option keyfile defaults to certfile and should be trumped
with key. This failed for engine keys.
- Changes for 20.3.8.2:
* erl_interface: Make ei_connect and friends also accept state
ok_simultaneous during handshake, which means the other node
has initiated a connection setup that will be cancelled in
favor of this connection.
* erts: Fixed a rare bug that could cause processes to be
scheduled after they had been freed.
* ic: Fixed bug in ic causing potential buffer overrun in
funtion oe_ei_encode_atom. Bug exists since ic-4.4.4
(OTP-20.3.4).
* kernel: Fix some potential buggy behavior in how ticks are
sent on inter node distribution connections. Tick is now sent
to c-node even if there are unsent buffered data, as c-nodes
need ticks in order to send reply ticks. The amount of sent
data was also calculated wrongly when ticks were suppressed
due to unsent buffered data.
- Changes for 20.3.8.1:
* inets: Options added for setting low-level properties on the
underlying TCP connections. The options are: sock_ctrl,
sock_data_act and sock_data_pass. See the manual for details.
* ssh: SFTP clients reported the error reason "" if a non-OTP
sftp server was killed during a long file transmission. Now
the signal name (for example "KILL") will be the error reason
if the server's reason is empty. The documentation also lacked
type information about this class of errors.
* ssh: Fix ssh_sftp decode error for sftp protocol version 4
* syntax_tools: Fix a bug regarding reverting map types.
- Changes for 20.3.8:
* erts: Fixed bug in ets that could cause VM crash if process A
terminates after fixating a table and process B deletes the
table at "the same time". The table fixation could be done
with ets:safe_fixtable or if process A terminates in the
middle of a long running select or match call.
* snmp: The Snmp MIB compiler now allows using a
TEXTUAL-CONVENTION type before defining it.
- Changes for 20.3.7:
* erl_docgen: Update makefile so db_funcs.xsl is a part of the
installed application.
* erts: Fixed bug in enif_binary_to_term which could cause
memory corruption for immediate terms (atoms, small integers,
pids, ports, empty lists).
* erts: Fixed bug in erlang:system_profile/2 that could cause
superfluous {profile,_,active,_,_} messages for terminating
processes.
* inets: The option max_headers operated on the individual
header length instead of the total length of all headers. Also
headers with empty keys are now discarded.
- Changes for 20.3.6:
* crypto: If OPENSSL_NO_EC was set, the compilation of the
crypto nifs failed.
* crypto: C-compile errors for LibreSSL 2.7.0 - 2.7.2 fixed
* ssh: Host key hash erroneously calculated for clients
following draft-00 of RFC 4419, for example PuTTY
* ssh: Renegotiation could fail in some states
- Changes for 20.3.5:
* erts: Fixed a crash in heart:get_cmd/0 when the stored command
was too long.
* ssl: Proper handling of clients that choose to send an empty
answer to a certificate request.
- Changes for 20.3.4:
* erl_interface: Fix bug in ei_connect functions that may cause
failure due to insufficient buffer space for gethostbyname_r.
* erl_interface, ic: Optimize encoding/decoding for pure 7-bit
ascii atoms.
* inets: Fix broken options handling in httpc (ERL-441).
* ssh: An ssh_sftp server (running version 6) could fail if it
is told to remove a file which in fact is a directory.
* ssh: Fix rare spurios shutdowns of ssh servers when receiveing
{'EXIT',_,normal} messages.
- Changes for 20.3.3:
* sasl: When upgrading with instruction 'restart_new_emulator',
the generated temporary boot file used 'kernelProcess'
statements from the old release instead of the new release.
This is now corrected.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat Apr 14 10:51:00 UTC 2018 - matwey.kornilov@gmail.com
- Update to 20.3.2
* ssl: Added new API functions to facilitate cipher suite handling
* erts, observer: More crash dump info such as: process binary
virtual heap stats, full info for process causing out-of-mem
during GC, more port related info, and dirty scheduler info.
* inets: Add support for unix domain sockets in the http client.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Feb 1 09:08:16 UTC 2018 - matwey.kornilov@gmail.com
- Update to 20.2.2.
- Changes for 20.2.2:
* mnesia: Removed a quadratic behavior in startup. This change
implies that backend plugins (if used) must be set when the
schema is created or via configuration parameters before mnesia
is started.
* mnesia: Bad timing could crash mnesia after a checkpoint was
deactivated and reactivated with the same checkpoint name on
different tables.
- Changes for 20.2.1:
* ssh: Fix problem with OpenSSH 7.2 (and later) clients that has
used sha1 instead of sha2 for rsa-sha-256/512 user's public
keys.
- Highlighted changes for 20.2:
* crypto, ssl: The crypto API is extended to use private/public
keys stored in an Engine for sign/verify or encrypt/decrypt
operations. The ssl application provides an API to use this new
engine concept in TLS.
* ssh: SSH can now fetch the host key from the private keys stored
in an Engine. See the crypto application for details about
Engines.
* ssl: A new command line option -ssl_dist_optfile has been added
to facilitate specifying the many options needed when using SSL
as the distribution protocol.
* stdlib: Improve performance of the new string functionality when
handling ASCII characters.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Nov 27 07:46:03 UTC 2017 - matwey.kornilov@gmail.com
- Update to 20.1.5:
* erts: Fixed a regression in zlib:gunzip/1 that prevented it
from working when the decompressed size was a perfect multiple
of 16384. This regression was introduced in 20.1.1
* erts: Fixed a memory corruption bug in enif_inspect_iovec;
writable binaries stayed writable after entering the iovec.
* erts: Fixed a crash in enif_inspect_iovec on encountering empty
binaries.
* erts: zlib:deflateParams/3 will no longer return buf_error when
called after zlib:deflate/2 with zlib 1.2.11.
* inets: Correct the handling of location headers so that the
status code is not hard coded. This should have been fixed by
commit 2cc5ba70cbbc6b3ace81a2a0324417c3b65265bb but
unfortunately was broken during a code refactoring and
unnoticed due to a faulty placed test case.
- Update to 20.1.4:
* inets: Fix broken handling of POST requests
* inets: Make sure ints:stop/2 of the service httpd is
synchronous
* inets: Honor status code returned by ESI script and modernize
"location" header handling.
- Update to 20.1.3:
* diameter: A fault introduced in diameter 2.1 could cause decode
errors to be ignored in AVPs following the header of aGrouped
AVP.
* erts: Added zlib:set_controlling_process/2 to move a zstream()
between processes.
* erts: Fix so that schedulers are bound correctly when the first
available cpu is not the first detected cpu. e.g. when using
"taskset -c X..Y" when X is not equal to 0.
* snmp: The recbuf configuration option was not propagated
correctly to the socket for the SNMP Manager.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Nov 23 13:49:29 UTC 2017 - rbrown@suse.com
- Replace references to /var/adm/fillup-templates with new
%_fillupdir macro (boo#1069468)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Oct 19 10:40:11 UTC 2017 - matwey.kornilov@gmail.com
- Update to 21.1.2:
* diameter: An inadvertently removed monitor in diameter 2.1
caused the ets table diameter_reg to leak entries, and caused
service restart and more to fail.
* erts: Fixed bug that could cause a VM crash when a corrupt
message is received on distribution channel from other node.
- Update to 20.1.1:
* compiler: The compiler could issue an incorrect internal
consistency failure diagnostic for some complicated bit syntax
maches.
* erts: The new zlib module returned a data_error when inflating
concatenated streams, which was incompatible with the old
module's behavior of returning the uncompressed data up to the
end of the first stream.
* erts: zlib:gunzip/1 will no longer stop at the end of the first
stream when decompressing concatenated gzip files.
* ssh: Fixed broken printout
* ssh: Disable aes_gcm ciphers if peer is OpenSSH 6.2 which is
known to have trouble with them in some cases.
- Update to 20.1:
* crypto, public_key: Extend crypto and public_key functions
sign and verify with: support for RSASSA-PS padding for
signatures and for saltlength setting X9.31 RSA padding. sha,
sha224, sha256, sha384, and sha512 for dss signatures as
mentioned in NIST SP 800-57 Part 1. ripemd160 to be used for
rsa signatures. A new tuple in crypto:supports/0 reports
supported MAC algorithms.
* diameter: Add service option decode_format to allow incoming
messages to be decoded into maps instead of records. Decode
performance has been improved. Add service/transport option
avp_dictionaries to give better support for dictionaries only
defining AVPs.
* erts: Upgraded the ERTS internal PCRE library from version
8.40 to version 8.41.
* erts, kernel, tools: Profiling with lock counting can now be
fully toggled at runtime in the lock counting emulator
(-emu_type lcnt). Everything is enabled by default to match
the old behavior, but specific categories can be toggled at
will with minimal runtime overhead when disabled. Refer to the
documentation on lcnt:rt_mask/1 for details.
* lcnt:collect and lcnt:clear will no longer block all other
threads in the runtime system. This makes it possible to run
the lock counting under heavier load.
* erts: The zlib module has been refactored and all its
operations will now yield appropriately, allowing them to be
used freely in concurrent applications.
* erts, tools: Add erlang:iolist_to_iovec/1, which converts an
iolist() to an erlang:iovec(), which is suitable for use with
enif_inspect_iovec().
* erts: Add new nif API functions for managing an I/O Queue. The
added functions are: enif_ioq_create(), enif_ioq_destroy(),
enif_ioq_enq_binary(), enif_ioq_enqv(), enif_ioq_deq(),
enif_ioq_peek(), enif_inspect_iovec(), enif_free_iovec()
* observer/crashdump_viewer: Reading of crash dumps with many
binaries is optimized. A progress bar is shown when the detail
view for a process is opened. The cdv script now sets
ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS=0 to avoid generating a new crash dump
from the node running the Crashdump Viewer.
* observer: Add system statistics and limits to frontpage in
observer.
* public_key, ssl**: Improved error propagation and reports
* ssh: A new option modify_algorithms is implemented. It enables
specifying changes on the default algorithms list. See the
reference manual and the SSH User's Guide chapter "Configuring
algorithms in SSH".
* tools/xref: The predefined Xref analysis locals_not_used now
understands the -on_load() attribute and does not report
unused functions.
* tools/fprof: When sampling multiple processes and analyzing
with totals set to true, the output now sums together all
caller and callee entries which concerns the same function.
Previous behaviour was to report each contributing entry
separately.

- Only Java 1.6 is supported by Erlang since 18.0 release
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Sep 14 20:05:23 UTC 2017 - matwey.kornilov@gmail.com
- Update to 20.0.5:
* erts: Fixed bug in binary_to_term and binary_to_atom that could
cause VM crash. Typically happens when the last character of an
UTF8 string is in the range 128 to 255, but truncated to only
one byte. Bug exists in binary_to_term since ERTS version
5.10.2 (OTP_R16B01) and binary_to_atom since ERTS version 9.0
(OTP-20.0).
* inets: http_uri aligned to follow RFC 3986 and not convert "+"
to space when decoding URIs.
* inets: Added new option max_client_body_chunk to httpd server
to allow chunked delivery of PUT and POST data to mod_esi
callback. Note, new mod_esi callback implementation is
required. Also correct value provided by server_name
environment variable.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Aug 27 14:19:49 UTC 2017 - matwey.kornilov@gmail.com
- Update to 20.0.4:
* dializer: Fix a bug where merging PLT:s could lose info. The
bug was introduced in Erlang/OTP 20.0.
* erts: A timer internal bit-field used for storing scheduler id
was too small. As a result, VM internal timer data structures
could become inconsistent when using 1024 schedulers on the
system. Note that systems with less than 1024 schedulers are
not effected by this bug. This bug was introduced in ERTS
version 7.0 (OTP 18.0).
* erts: Automatic cleanup of a BIF timer, when the owner process
terminated, could race with the timeout of the timer. This
could cause the VM internal data structures to become
inconsistent which very likely caused a VM crash. This bug was
introduced in ERTS version 9.0 (OTP 20.0).
- Update to 20.0.3:
* asn1: Default values now work in extension for PER, so if you
give the atom asn1_DEFAULT instead of a value it will become
the default value.
* compiler: Fail labels on guard BIFs weren't taken into account
during an optimization pass, and a bug in the validation pass
sometimes prevented this from being noticed when a fault
occurred.
* erts: Binary append operations did not check for overflow,
resulting in nonsensical results when huge binaries were
appended.
* ssh: All unknown options are sent to the transport handler
regardless of type.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Aug 20 06:28:17 UTC 2017 - matwey.kornilov@gmail.com
- Update to 20.0.2:
* asn: Fixed compilation error of generated code caused by a
missing quotation of function names as part of an external call for
encoding.
* erts: Added missing release notes for OTP-14491 ("performance
bug in pre-allocators") which was included in erts-9.0.1 (OTP-20.0.1).
* erts: Fixed a bug that prevented TCP sockets from being
closed properly on send timeouts.
* erts: Fixed bug in operator bxor causing erroneuos result
when one operand is a big *negative* integer with the lowest N*W bits as
zero and the other operand not larger than N*W bits. N is an integer of 1
or larger and W is 32 or 64 depending on word size.
* kernel: The documentation for the 'quiet' option in
disk_log:open/1 had an incorrect default value.

- erlang-gs application has been depricated
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Jul 17 14:24:49 UTC 2017 - matwey.kornilov@gmail.com
- Update to 20.0.1:
* erts: Fixed a bug in gen_tcp:send where it never returned when
repeatedly called on a remotely closed TCP socket.
* erts: Fixed segfault that could happen during cleanup of aborted
erlang:port_command/3 calls. A port_command is aborted if the
port is closed at the same time as the port_command was issued.
This bug was introduced in erts-8.0.
* erts: Fixed implementation of statistics(wall_clock) and
statistics(runtime) so that values do not unnecessarily wrap due
to the emulator. Note that the values returned by
statistics(runtime) may still wrap due to limitations in the
underlying functionality provided by the operating system.
* erts: Fix performance bug in pre-allocators that could cause
them to permanently fall back on normal more expensive memory
allocation. Pre-allocators are used for quick allocation of
short lived meta data used by messages and other scheduled
tasks. Bug exists since OTP_R15B02.
* runtime_tools: A faulty encoding comment was added when saving
trace patterns to file. This is now corrected.
* stdlib: A bug in proc_lib:format() introduced in Erlang/OTP 20.0
is corrected.
* stdlib: Fix string:len/1 to be compatible with previous
versions.
* stdlib: In OTP-20.0, the behavior of c, make, and ct_make was
changed so that in some cases the beam files by default would be
written to the directory where the source files were found. This
is now changed back to the old behavior so beam files are by
default written to current directory.
- Update to 20.0.0:
* Potential Incompatibilities
* ERTS:
* The non SMP Erlang VM is deprecated and not built by default
* Remove deprecated erlang:hash/2
* erlang:statistics/1 with scheduler_wall_time now also
includes info about dirty CPU schedulers.
* The new purge strategy introduced in OTP 19.1 is mandatory
and slightly incompatible for processes holding funs
* see erlang:check_process_code/3.
* The NIF library reload is not supported anymore.
* Atoms can now contain arbitrary unicode characters which
means that the DFLAG_UTF8_ATOMS capability in the
distribution protocol must be supported if an OTP 20 node
should accept the connection with another node or library.
Third party libraries which uses the distribution protocol
need to be updated with this.
* Asn1: Deprecated module and functions removed (asn1rt,
asn1ct:encode/3 and decode/3)
* Ssh: client only option in a call to start a daemon will now fail
* Highlights
* Erts:
* Dirty schedulers enabled and supported on VM with SMP support.
* support for “dirty” BIFs and “dirty” GC.
* erlang:garbage_collect/2 for control of minor or major GC
* Erlang literals are no longer copied when sending messages.
* Improved performance for large ETS tables, >256 entries
(except ordered_set)
* erlang:system_info/1 atom_count and atom_limit
* Reduced memory pressure by converting sub-binaries to
heap-binaries during GC
* enif_select, map an external event to message
* Improvements of timers internally in the VM resulting in
reduced memory consumption and more efficient administration
for timers
* Compiler:
* Code generation for complicated guards is improved.
* Warnings for repeated identical map keys. #{'a'=>1, 'b'=>2,
'a'=>3} will warn for the repeated key a.
* By default there is now a warning when export_all is used.
Can be disabled
* Pattern matching for maps is optimized
* New option deterministic to omit path to source + options
info the BEAM file.
* Atoms may now contain arbitrary unicode characters.
* compile:file/2 has an option to include extra chunks in the
BEAM file.
* Misc other applications:
* Significantly updated string module with unicode support and
many new functions
* crypto now supports OpenSSL 1.1
* Unnamed ets tables optimized
* gen_fsm is deprecated and replaced by gen_statem
* A new event manager to handle a subset of OS signals in
Erlang
* Optimized sets add_element, del_element and union
* Added rand:jump/0-1
* When a gen_server crashes, the stacktrace for the client
will be printed to facilitate debugging.
* take/2 has been added to dict, orddict, and gb_trees.
* take_any/2 has been added to gb_trees
* erl_tar support for long path names and new file formats
* asn1: the new maps option changes the representation of
SEQUENCE to be maps instead of records
* A TLS client will by default call
public_key:pkix_verify_hostname/2 to verify the hostname
* ssl: DTLS documented in the API, experimental
* ssh: improving security, removing and adding algorithms
* New math:fmod/2

Sat May 6 11:26:42 UTC 2017 - meissner@suse.com
- Disable global PIE for erlang, code is currently not fully
ready.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Apr 30 08:51:11 UTC 2017 - matwey.kornilov@gmail.com
- Update to 19.3.2:
* erts: The +Bi command line argument of erl erroneously caused
SIGTERM to be ignored by the VM as well as of all its child
processes. This bug was introduced in erts version 8.3.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Apr 6 13:14:49 UTC 2017 - matwey.kornilov@gmail.com
- Update to 19.3.1:
* crypto: Fix a bug with AES CFB 128 for 192 and 256 bit keys.
Thanks to kellymclaughlin !
* erts: Trying to open a directory with file:read_file/1 on Unix
leaked a file descriptor. This bug has now been fixed.
* erts: Invoking init:stop/0 via the SIGTERM signal, in a non-SMP
BEAM, could cause BEAM to terminate with fatal error. This has
now been fixed and the BEAM will terminate normally when SIGTERM
is received.
* inets: Fixed a bug in ftp that made further operations after a
recv_chunk operation impossible.
* ssh: ssh:daemon_info/1 crashed if the listening IP was not 'any'
* ssl: Correct active once emulation, for TLS. Now all data
received by the connection process will be delivered through
active once, even when the active once arrives after that the
gen_tcp socket is closed by the peer.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Apr 6 13:14:49 UTC 2017 - matwey.kornilov@gmail.com
- Changes since 19.2:
* crypto, ssh: The implementation of the key exchange algorithms
diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha* are optimized, up to a factor
of 11 for the slowest ( = biggest and safest) group size.
* dialyzer: The peak memory consumption is reduced. Analyzing
modules with binary construction with huge strings is now much
faster.
* erts: A received SIGTERM signal to beam will generate a 'stop'
message to the init process and terminate the Erlang VM nicely.
This is equivalent to calling init:stop/0.
* kernel: The functions in the file module that take a list of
paths (e.g. file:path_consult/2) will now continue to search in
the path if the path contains something that is not a directory.
* kernel: Two OTP processes that are known to receive many
messages are rex (used by rpc) and error_logger. Those processes
will now store unprocessed messages outside the process heap,
which will potentially decrease the cost of garbage collections.
* public_key: New function pkix_verify_hostname/2,3 implements
certificate hostname checking. See the manual and RFC 6125.-
* public_key, ssh: The ssh host key fingerprint generation now
also takes a list of algorithms and returns a list of
corresponding fingerprints. See
public_key:ssh_hostkey_fingerprint/2 and the option
silently_accept_hosts in ssh:connect.
* ssl: Move PEM cache to a dedicated process, to avoid making the
SSL manager process a bottleneck. This improves scalability of
TLS connections.
* stdlib: filename:safe_relative_path/1 to sanitize a relative
path has been added.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Dec 18 09:38:50 UTC 2016 - matwey.kornilov@gmail.com
- Update to 19.2:
* stdlib: The new behaviour gen_statem has been improved with 3
new features: the possibility to use old style non-proxy
timeouts for gen_statem:call/2,3, state entry code, and state
timeouts. These are backwards compatible. Minor code and
documentation improvements has been performed including a
borderline semantics correction of timeout zero handling.
* ssl: Experimental version of DTLS. It is runnable but not
complete and cannot be considered reliable for production usage.
To use DTLS add the option {protocol, dtls} to ssl:connect and
ssl:listen.
* ssh: Extended the option silently_accept_hosts for ssh:connect
to make it possible for the client to check the SSH host key
fingerprint string. Se the reference manual for SSH.
* ~40 contributions since the previous service release OTP 19.1
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Sep 29 09:27:58 UTC 2016 - kruber@zib.de
- Update to 19.1:

-warning(Term) to cause a compilation error or warning,
respectively.
* gen_statem: a new state machine behavior
* mnesia_ext: plugin of external storage solutions to mnesia
* crypto: uses EVP interface in OpenSSL resulting in generally
better performance and support for HW acceleration

Thu Oct 29 13:41:47 UTC 2015 - matwey.kornilov@gmail.com
- Update to 18.1.3:
* ssl: Add possibility to downgrade an SSL/TLS connection to a
tcp connection, and give back the socket control to a user
process.
* ssh: The following new key exchange algorithms are
implemented:'ecdh-sha2-nistp256', 'ecdh-sha2-nistp384',
'ecdh-sha2-nistp521','diffie-hellman-group14-sha1',

'diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256'. This raises the
security level considerably.
* kernel,stdlib,sasl: A mechanism for limiting the amount of
text that the built-in error logger events will produce has
been introduced. It is useful for limiting both the size of
log files and the CPU time used to produce them. This
mechanism is experimental in the sense that it may be changed
based on feedback. See config parameter
error_logger_format_depth in the Kernel application.

- update to 18.0.2:
* Fix processes ending up in an inconsistent half exited state
in the runtime system without SMP support
* Remove unnecessary copying of data when retrieving corrected
Erlang monotonic time.
* POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY:
Change default OS monotonic clock source chosen at build time.
This in order to improve performance. The behavior will now on
most systems be that (both OS and Erlang) monotonic time stops
when the system is suspended. (changeable via the
--enable-prefer-elapsed-monotonic-time-during-suspend
configure parameter)
* Fix erlang:system_info(end_time) returning a faulty value on
32-bit architectures.
* Fix the trace_file_drv not handling EINTR correctly which
caused it to fail when the runtime system received a signal.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Jun 26 11:59:59 UTC 2015 - kruber@zib.de
- update to 18.0:
* new license: APL 2.0 (Apache Public License)
* erts: The time functionality has been extended. This includes
a new API for time, as well as "time warp" modes which
alters the behavior when system time changes. You are
strongly encouraged to use the new API instead of the
old API based on erlang:now/0. erlang:now/0 has been
deprecated since it is a scalability bottleneck. See
http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/erts/time_correction.html
* erts: Beside the API changes and time warp modes a lot of
scalability and performance improvements regarding time
management has been made. Examples are:
+ scheduler specific timer wheels,
+ scheduler specific BIF timer management,
+ parallel retrieval of monotonic time and system time
on OS:es that support it.
* erts: The previously introduced "eager check I/O" feature is
now enabled by default.
* erts/compiler: enhanced support for maps. Big maps new uses a
HAMT (Hash Array Mapped Trie) representation internally
which makes them more efficient. There is now also
support for variables as map keys.
* dialyzer: The -dialyzer() attribute can be used for suppressing
warnings in a module by specifying functions or warning
options. It can also be used for requesting warnings in
a module.
* ssl: Remove default support for SSL-3.0 and added padding check
for TLS-1.0 due to the Poodle vulnerability.
* ssl: Remove default support for RC4 cipher suites, as they are
consider too weak.
* stdlib: Allow maps for supervisor flags and child specs
* stdlib: New functions in ets:
+ take/2: Works the same as ets:delete/2 but also returns
the deleted object(s).
+ update_counter/4 with a default object as argument

- update to R16B03 release:
+ A new memory allocation feature called "super carrier" has
been introduced. It can for example be used for pre-allocation
of all memory that the runtime system should be able to use.
It is enabled by passing the +MMscs (size in MB) command line
argument. For more information see the documentation of the
+MMsco, +MMscrfsd, +MMscrpm, +MMscs, +MMusac, and, +Mlpm
command line arguments in the erts_alloc(3) documentation.
+ The ldap client eldap now supports the start_tls operation.
This upgrades an existing tcp connection to encryption using
tls, see eldap:start_tls/2 and /3.
+ The ftp client (inets application) now supports ftp over tls
(ftps).

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Apr 16 16:15:13 UTC 2012 - kruber@zib.de
- updated to R15B01 release:
+ Highlights from R15B01:
* Added erlang:statistics(scheduler_wall_time) to ensure correct
determination of scheduler utilization. Measuring scheduler
utilization is strongly preferred over CPU utilization, since
CPU utilization gives very poor indications of actual
scheduler/vm usage.
* Changed ssh implementation to use the public_key application
for all public key handling. This is also a first step for
enabling a callback API for supplying public keys and handling
keys protected with password phrases. Additionally the test
suites where improved so that they do not copy the users keys
to test server directories as this is a security liability.
Also ipv6 and file access issues found in the process has been
fixed.
* When an escript ends now all printout to standard output and
standard error gets out on the terminal. This bug has been
corrected by changing the behaviour of erlang:halt/0,1, which
should fix the same problem for other escript-like applications,
i.e. that data stored in the output port driver buffers got
lost when printing on a TTY and exiting through erlang:halt/0,1.
The BIF:s erlang:halt/0,1 has gotten improved semantics and
there is a new BIF erlang:halt/2 to accomplish something like
the old semantics. See the documentation.
* The DTrace source patch from Scott Lystig Fritchie is
integrated in the source tree. Using an emulator with dtrace
probe is still not supported for production use, but may be a
valuable debugging tool. Configure with
--with-dynamic-trace=dtrace (or --with-dynamic-trace=systemtap)
to create a build with dtrace probes enabled. See runtime_tools
for documentation and examples
* Added Torbjörn Törnkvists LDAP client as a new application
called eldap.
* Added options for the ssh client to support user keys files
that are password protected.
