Changelog for erlang-src-21.2.6-2.1.i586.rpm :

* Tue Feb 19 2019 Gabriele Santomaggio - 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.
* Thu Feb 07 2019 matwey.kornilovAATTgmail.com- Drop unsupported openSUSE versions
* Tue Feb 05 2019 Gabriele Santomaggio - 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 2019 Gabriele Santomaggio - 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 2018 Gabriele Santomaggio - 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).

* Wed Dec 12 2018 matwey.kornilovAATTgmail.com- Drop crypto.patch: isn\'t required anymore Reported by Gabriele Santomaggio
* Sun Dec 02 2018 Gabriele Santomaggio - update to 21.1.4:- Changes for 21.1.4:
* http://erlang.org/download/OTP-21.1.4.README
* kernel: Fix bug causing net_kernel process crash on connection attempt from node with name identical to local node.- update to 21.1.3:- Changes for 21.1.3:
* http://erlang.org/download/OTP-21.1.3.README
* erts: Added an optional ./configure flag to compile the emulator with spectre mitigation: - -with-spectre-mitigation Note that this requires a recent version of GCC with support for spectre mitigation and the - -mindirect-branch=thunk flag, such as 8.1.
* Sun Nov 25 2018 matwey.kornilovAATTgmail.com- Pack /etc/init.d/epmd only for systemd-less cases (boo#1116009)
* Sat Nov 17 2018 Gabriele Santomaggio - 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 08 2018 Markos Chandras - 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 02 2018 Gabriele Santomaggio - 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-sha256AATTlibssh.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-poly1305AATTopenssh.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
* Sun Sep 30 2018 Dirk Mueller - update to 20.3.8.9: - Changes for 20.3.8.9: - http://erlang.org/download/OTP-20.3.8.9.README
* 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 responses when using mod_esi
* inets: Add robust handling of chunked-encoded HTTP responses with an empty body (1xx, 204, 304) - Changes for 20.3.8.7: - http://erlang.org/download/OTP-20.3.8.7.README
* crypto: Update the crypto engine functions to handle multiple loads of an engine
* mnesia: Fixed a bug where the bag table index data was not deleted when objects were deleted.
* Wed Aug 15 2018 matwey.kornilovAATTgmail.com- Update to 20.3.8.6:
* inets: Change status code for no mod found to handle request to 501
* Tue Aug 14 2018 matwey.kornilovAATTgmail.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 2018 matwey.kornilovAATTgmail.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.kornilovAATTgmail.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.kornilovAATTgmail.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 rbrownAATTsuse.com- Replace references to /var/adm/fillup-templates with new %_fillupdir macro (boo#1069468)
* Thu Oct 19 2017 matwey.kornilovAATTgmail.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.kornilovAATTgmail.com- Only Java 1.6 is supported by Erlang since 18.0 release
* Thu Sep 14 2017 matwey.kornilovAATTgmail.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.kornilovAATTgmail.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.kornilovAATTgmail.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.kornilovAATTgmail.com- erlang-gs application has been depricated
* Mon Jul 17 2017 matwey.kornilovAATTgmail.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.

* 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 meissnerAATTsuse.com- Disable global PIE for erlang, code is currently not fully ready.
* Sun Apr 30 2017 matwey.kornilovAATTgmail.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.kornilovAATTgmail.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.kornilovAATTgmail.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.kornilovAATTgmail.com- Add missed scripts requires for erlang-epmd package
* Thu Feb 02 2017 matwey.kornilovAATTgmail.com- Update to 19.2.2:
* mnesia: Fixed crash in checkpoint handling when table was deleted during backup.
* Sun Dec 18 2016 matwey.kornilovAATTgmail.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 kruberAATTzib.de- Update to 19.1:

*. New preprocessor directives -error(Term) and - 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
* ssh: performance improvements, uses the new gen_statem behavior
* ssl: enhanced error log messages
* dialyzer: the support for maps is very much extended both the type specification syntax and the type analysis.
* erts: erlang:open_port(spawn, ...) 3-5 times faster

* inets: mod_alias now traverses all aliases picking the longest match and not the first match.
* Tue Jan 12 2016 matwey.kornilovAATTgmail.com- Update to 18.2.2:
* ssh: The authentication method \'keyboard-interactive\' failed in the Erlang client when the server after successful authentication continued by asking for zero more passwords.
* Mon Dec 28 2015 matwey.kornilovAATTgmail.com- Update to 18.2.1:
* Due to a bug in the handling of paths on windows none of the following would work with paths containing a space: ct_run dialyzer erlc escript typer This also contains a fix for HiPE enabled emulator for FreeBSD.- Update to 18.2:
* ssl: Add configurable upper limit for session cache. erts: Add function enif_getenv to read OS environment variables in a portable way from NIFs.
* kernel: Add {line_delim, byte()} option to inet:setopts/2 and decode_packet/3
* ssh: The \'ecdsa-sha2-nistp256\', \'ecdsa-sha2-nistp384\' and \'ecdsa-sha2-nistp521\' signature algorithms for ssh are implemented. See RFC5656.
* ssh: The ssh:daemon option dh_gex_groups is extended to read a user provided ssh moduli file with generator-modulus pairs. The file is in openssh format.
* Thu Dec 17 2015 roAATTsuse.de- disable hipe on s390/s390x to fix build
* Thu Oct 29 2015 matwey.kornilovAATTgmail.com- Update to 18.1.3:

* 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-sha1\' and \'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.- Removed erts_fix_unlock_status_lock.patch: fixed in upstream
* Tue Sep 29 2015 matwey.kornilovAATTgmail.com- Rework wxWidgets BuildRequire: fix build for Leap 42.1

* Thu Aug 13 2015 kruberAATTzib.de- add erts_fix_unlock_status_lock.patch to fix a rare deadlock in erts
* Fri Jul 24 2015 seife+obsAATTb1-systems.com- fix RHEL/CentOS 7 build
* Thu Jul 09 2015 kruberAATTzib.de- 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.
* Tue Jun 30 2015 kruberAATTzib.de- update to 18.0.1:
* Fix a rare hanging of the VM seen to happen just after emulator start. Bug exists since R14.
* Fri Jun 26 2015 kruberAATTzib.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
