+ Check out the git tag OTP-21.3.8, and build a full OTP system
+ including documentation. Apply one or more applications from this
+ build as patches to your installation using the 'otp_patch_apply'
+ tool. For information on install requirements, see descriptions for
+ each application version below.

+ --- POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITIES -------------------------------------
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ OTP-15717 Application(s): common_test
+ Related Id(s): ERIERL-334
+
+ 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.
+
+
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+ --- common_test-1.17.2 ----------------------------------------------
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ The common_test-1.17.2 application can be applied independently of
+ other applications on a full OTP 21 installation.

+ *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
+
+ 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

+
+
+ OTP-15758 Application(s): common_test
+ Related Id(s): ERIERL-342
+
+ 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.
+
+
+ --- Improvements and New Features ---
+
+ OTP-14746 Application(s): common_test
+ Related Id(s): ERIERL-143
+
+ 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
+
+ These functions allow modifying the return values from
+ the groups/0 and all/0 functions, respectively.
+
+ 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.
+
+
+ Full runtime dependencies of common_test-1.17.2: compiler-6.0,
+ crypto-3.6, debugger-4.1, erts-7.0, ftp-1.0.0, inets-6.0, kernel-4.0,
+ observer-2.1, runtime_tools-1.8.16, sasl-2.4.2, snmp-5.1.2, ssh-4.0,
+ stdlib-3.5, syntax_tools-1.7, tools-2.8, xmerl-1.3.8

+
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+ --- eldap-1.2.7 -----------------------------------------------------
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ The eldap-1.2.7 application can be applied independently of other
+ applications on a full OTP 21 installation.
+
+ --- Improvements and New Features ---
+
+ OTP-15785 Application(s): eldap, public_key, ssl
+ Related Id(s): ERL-893, ERL-929, PR-2215
+
+ 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).
+
+
+ Full runtime dependencies of eldap-1.2.7: asn1-3.0, erts-6.0,
+ kernel-3.0, ssl-5.3.4, stdlib-2.0
+
+
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+ --- erl_interface-3.11.3 --------------------------------------------
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ The erl_interface-3.11.3 application can be applied independently of
+ other applications on a full OTP 21 installation.
+
+ --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---
+
+ OTP-15781 Application(s): erl_interface
+ Related Id(s): ERIERL-356
+
+ 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-10.3.5 -----------------------------------------------------
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ Note! The erts-10.3.5 application *cannot* be applied independently
+ of other applications on an arbitrary OTP 21 installation.
+
+ On a full OTP 21 installation, also the following runtime
+ dependencies have to be satisfied:
+ -- kernel-6.1 (first satisfied in OTP 21.1)
+ -- sasl-3.3 (first satisfied in OTP 21.2)
+
+
+ --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---
+
+ OTP-15793 Application(s): erts
+ Related Id(s): ERIERL-337, OTP-15709
+
+ 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.
+
+
+ Full runtime dependencies of erts-10.3.5: kernel-6.1, sasl-3.3,
+ stdlib-3.5
+
+
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+ --- public_key-1.6.6 ------------------------------------------------
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ The public_key-1.6.6 application can be applied independently of
+ other applications on a full OTP 21 installation.
+
+ --- Improvements and New Features ---
+
+ OTP-15785 Application(s): eldap, public_key, ssl
+ Related Id(s): ERL-893, ERL-929, PR-2215
+
+ 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).
+
+
+ Full runtime dependencies of public_key-1.6.6: asn1-3.0, crypto-3.8,
+ erts-6.0, kernel-3.0, stdlib-3.5
+
+
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+ --- ssl-9.2.3 -------------------------------------------------------
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ The ssl-9.2.3 application can be applied independently of other
+ applications on a full OTP 21 installation.
+
+ --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---
+
+ OTP-15802 Application(s): ssl
+ Related Id(s): ERL-934
+
+ 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.
+
+
+ --- Improvements and New Features ---
+
+ OTP-15785 Application(s): eldap, public_key, ssl
+ Related Id(s): ERL-893, ERL-929, PR-2215

+
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+ --- stdlib-3.8.2 ----------------------------------------------------
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ The stdlib-3.8.2 application can be applied independently of other
+ applications on a full OTP 21 installation.
+
+ --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---
+
+ OTP-15295 Application(s): 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.
+
+
+ Full runtime dependencies of stdlib-3.8.2: compiler-5.0, crypto-3.3,
+ erts-10.0, kernel-6.0, sasl-3.0
