+Predecessor: OTP 23.3.4.7
+
+ Check out the git tag OTP-23.3.4.8, 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.
+
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+ --- erts-11.2.2.7 ---------------------------------------------------
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ The erts-11.2.2.7 application can be applied independently of other
+ applications on a full OTP 23 installation.
+
+ --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---
+
+ OTP-17628 Application(s): erts
+
+ A call to process_info(Pid, status) could erroneously
+ report the status running when it should have reported
+ waiting. This occurred when the calling process was
+ executing on a higher priority than the process being
+ inspected. This bug has been present since OTP 21.0
+ (erts version 10.0).
+
+
+ OTP-17642 Application(s): erts
+ Related Id(s): PR-5248
+
+ A race between an exiting port and handling of
+ simultaneously received signals to that port could
+ cause a runtime system crash. The effected signals are
+ link, monitor and demonitor. On OTP 22 a similiar race
+ could also cause a memory leak when receiving an unlink
+ signal.
+
+
+ OTP-17651 Application(s): erts
+ Related Id(s): GH-5235, PR-5244
+
+ The message queue of a process entered an inconsistent
+ state after a receive expression with an invalid
+ timeout value was executed. If the exception raised due
+ to the invalid timeout value was caught, the following
+ receive expression executed by the process could fail
+ to match messages already present in the message queue.
+
+ On OTP 24 this could also cause the whole runtime
+ system to crash.
+
+
+ OTP-17665 Application(s): erts
+ Related Id(s): PR-5248
+
+ Sending a Port ! {PortOwner, close} signal from a
+ process other than the port owner could erroneously
+ trigger a badsig exit signal being sent to the port
+ owner process even though the correct PortOwner had
+ been passed in the signal.
+
+
+ OTP-17677 Application(s): erts
+
+ This fixes a bug in erts_factory_undo that caused the
+ heap to not be reset correctly. The erts_factory_undo
+ function is, for example, called when a
+ binary_to_term/1 call fails to reset the heap to its
+ state before the binary_to_term/1 call. This can cause
+ the heap to contain invalid terms which potentially can
+ cause issues (e.g., crashes) when the whole heap is
+ scanned.
+
+
+ OTP-17700 Application(s): erts
+ Related Id(s): GH-5271, PR-5273
+
+ Fix bug in persistent_term when a key-value pair
+ contains a magic reference that is referred more than
+ once. Magic references are NIF resources or returned
+ from BIFs like ets:new, atomics:new. The bug could
+ cause the memory of the referred resource to be
+ prematurely deallocated.
+
+ The bug also apply to magic references in message
+ passing on a runtime built with configure option
+ --enable-sharing-preserving.
+
+ Bug exist for 64-bit since OTP-24.0 and for 32-bit
+ since OTP-20.0.
+
+
+ --- Improvements and New Features ---
+
+ OTP-17658 Application(s): erts
+
+ The python scripts that existed in
+ erts/lib_src/yielding_c_fun/lib/tiny_regex_c/scripts
+ had a license that was incompatible with Erlang/OTP's
+ license. This ticket removes these scripts that were
+ not used by us.
+
+
+ Full runtime dependencies of erts-11.2.2.7: kernel-7.0, sasl-3.3,
+ stdlib-3.13
+
+
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+ --- ssh-4.11.1.4 ----------------------------------------------------
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ The ssh-4.11.1.4 application can be applied independently of other
+ applications on a full OTP 23 installation.
+
+ --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---
+
+ OTP-17707 Application(s): ssh
+ Related Id(s): ERIERL-706
+
+ The value of the connect_timeout option is now used as
+ default value for the negotiation timeout.
+
+
+ Full runtime dependencies of ssh-4.11.1.4: crypto-4.6.4, erts-9.0,
+ kernel-5.3, public_key-1.6.1, stdlib-3.4.1
