OTP-15423 Application(s): ssl
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
The Reason part of of the error return from the

previous returned reasons, however those where only
documented as term() and should for that reason not be
relied on.

OTP-15662 Application(s): kernel
Handler specific configuration parameters for the
standard handler logger_std_h are changed to be more
intuitive and more similar to the disk_log handler.
Earlier there was only one parameter, type, which could
have the values standard_io, standard_error,
{file,FileName} or {file,FileName,Modes}.
This is now changed, so the following parameters are
allowed:
type = standard_io | standard_error | file
file = file:filename()
modes = [file:mode()]
All parameters are optional. type defaults to
standard_io, unless a file name is given, in which case
it defaults to file. If type is set to file, the file
name defaults to the same as the handler id.
The potential incompatibility is that
logger:get_config/0 and logger:get_handler_config/1 now
returns the new parameters, even if the configuration
was set with the old variant, e.g.
#{type=>{file,FileName}}.

OTP-15540 Application(s): common_test
A bug caused ct:encrypt_config_file/3 and
ct:decrypt_config_file/3 to fail with badmatch if input
parameter KeyOrFile was {key,string()}. This is now
corrected.
OTP-15584 Application(s): common_test

timeout in end_per_testcase could not be modified by
returning {fail,Reason} from a post_end_per_testcase
hook function. This is now corrected.
--- Improvements and New Features ---
OTP-15229 Application(s): common_test
Related Id(s): ERIERL-203
A new variant of the newline option to ct_telnet:cmd/3
and ct_telnet:send/3 is added, which allows to specify
a string to append as newline indicator on a command.
By default, the value is "\n", but in some cases it is
required to be "\r\n", which this option allows.
A faulty regular expression given as parameter to
ct_telnet:expect/2,3 would earlier crash and look like
an internal error in common_test. A better error
indication is now given, but the test case will still
fail.
OTP-15298 Application(s): common_test
Since the yang RFC allows more than one top element of
config data in an edit-config element,
ct_netconfc:edit_config/3,4,5 can now take a list of
XML elements.

A transitory emulator option '+ztma true' has been
added to allow running existing BEAM code that relies

Fix the internal handling of the option

The Logger handler logger_std_h now keeps track of the
inode of its log file in order to re-open the file if
the inode changes. This may happen, for instance, if
the log file is opened and saved by an editor.
OTP-15602 Application(s): kernel
When user specific file modes are given to the logger
handler logger_std_h, they were earlier accepted
without any control. This is now changes, so Logger
will adjust the file modes as follows:
- If raw is not found in the list, it is added.
- If none of write, append or exclusive are found in
the list, append is added.
- If none of delayed_write or
{delayed_write,Size,Delay} are found in the list,
delayed_write is added.
--- Improvements and New Features ---
OTP-15479 Application(s): kernel
The standard logger handler, logger_std_h, now has a
new internal feature for log rotation. The rotation
scheme is as follows:
The log file to which the handler currently writes
always has the same name, i.e. the name which is
configured for the handler. The archived files have the
same name, but with extension ".N", where N is an
integer. The newest archive has extension ".0", and the
oldest archive has the highest number.
The size at which the log file is rotated, and the
number of archive files that are kept, is specified
with the handler specific configuration parameters
max_no_bytes and max_no_files respectively.
Archives can be compressed, in which case they get a
".gz" file extension after the integer. Compression is
specified with the handler specific configuration
parameter compress_on_rotate.
OTP-15600 Application(s): kernel
The new functions logger:i/0 and logger:i/1 are added.
These provide the same information as
logger:get_config/0 and other logger:get_*_config
functions, but the information is more logically sorted
and more readable.
OTP-15601 Application(s): kernel
Logger is now protected against overload due to massive
amounts of log events from the emulator or from remote
nodes.
OTP-15625 Application(s): kernel
Logger now uses os:system_time/1 instead of
erlang:system_time/1 to generate log event timestamps.
OTP-15642 Application(s): kernel
Related Id(s): PR-2164
Add functions application:set_env/1,2 and
application:set_env/2. These take a list of application
configuration parameters, and the behaviour is
equivalent to calling application:set_env/4
individually for each application/key combination,
except it is more efficient.
set_env/1,2 warns about duplicated applications or
keys. The warning is also emitted during boot, if
applications or keys are duplicated within one
configuration file, e.g. sys.config.

OTP-15663 Application(s): kernel
The new configuration parameter file_check is added to
the Logger handler logger_std_h. This parameter
specifies how long (in milliseconds) the handler may
wait before checking if the log file still exists and
the inode is the same as when it was opened.
The default value is 0, which means that this check is
done prior to each write operation. Setting a higher
number may improve performance, but adds the risk of
loosing log events.
