Change Logs

* Sat Apr 14 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 01 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 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 2017 rbrown@suse.com
- Replace references to /var/adm/fillup-templates with new
  %_fillupdir macro (boo#1069468)
* Thu Oct 19 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.
* Thu Sep 14 2017 matwey.kornilov@gmail.com
- Only Java 1.6 is supported by Erlang since 18.0 release
* Thu Sep 14 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 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 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.
* Mon Jul 31 2017 matwey.kornilov@gmail.com
- erlang-gs application has been depricated
* Mon Jul 17 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 06 2017 meissner@suse.com
- Disable global PIE for erlang, code is currently not fully
  ready.
* Sun Apr 30 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 06 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 06 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.
* Fri Mar 10 2017 matwey.kornilov@gmail.com
- Add missed scripts requires for erlang-epmd package
* Thu Feb 02 2017 matwey.kornilov@gmail.com
- Update to 19.2.2:
  * mnesia: Fixed crash in checkpoint handling when table was
    deleted during backup.
* Sun Dec 18 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 2016 kruber@zib.de
- Update to 19.1:
  * erts: Improved dirty scheduler support. A purge of a module
    will not have to wait for completion of all ongoing dirty
    NIF calls
  * erts: Improved accuracy of timeouts on MacOS X
  * kernel: Add net_kernel:setopts/2 and net_kernel:getopts/2 to
    control options for distribution sockets in runtime
  * asn1: Compiling multiple ASN.1 modules in the same directory
    with parallel make (make -j) should now be safe
  * httpd: support for PUT and DELETE in mod_esi
  * ~30 contributions since 19.0
* Fri Aug 12 2016 matwey.kornilov@gmail.com
- Update to 19.0.4:
  * erts: Fixed a race that could cause a lost wakeup of a process
    that timed out in a receive ... after. This bug was introduced
    in ERTS version 7.0.
  * erts: Fixed segfault after writing an erl crash dump.
