+Patch Package: OTP 24.3.4.12
+Git Tag: OTP-24.3.4.12
+Date: 2023-05-30
+Trouble Report Id: OTP-18556, OTP-18560, OTP-18569, OTP-18570,
+ OTP-18593, OTP-18595, OTP-18597
+Seq num: ERIERL-944, GH-7252
+System: OTP
+Release: 24
+Application: compiler-8.1.1.4, erts-12.3.2.12,
+ stdlib-3.17.2.3, xmerl-1.3.28.1
+Predecessor: OTP 24.3.4.11
+
+ Check out the git tag OTP-24.3.4.12, 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.
+
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+ --- compiler-8.1.1.4 ------------------------------------------------
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ The compiler-8.1.1.4 application can be applied independently of
+ other applications on a full OTP 24 installation.
+
+ --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---
+
+ OTP-18593 Application(s): compiler
+ Related Id(s): GH-7252
+
+ Complex guard expression using the or operator and
+ guard BIFs that can fail could sometimes be miscompiled
+ so that the guard would succeed even if a call to a
+ guard BIF failed.
+
+
+ Full runtime dependencies of compiler-8.1.1.4: crypto-3.6, erts-11.0,
+ kernel-7.0, stdlib-3.13
+
+
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+ --- erts-12.3.2.12 --------------------------------------------------
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ Note! The erts-12.3.2.12 application *cannot* be applied
+ independently of other applications on an arbitrary OTP 24
+ installation.
+
+ On a full OTP 24 installation, also the following runtime
+ dependency has to be satisfied:
+ -- kernel-8.3 (first satisfied in OTP 24.3)
+
+
+ --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---
+
+ OTP-18560 Application(s): erts
+
+ In rare circumstances, bit syntax matching of an
+ invalid code point for a utf32 would crash the runtime
+ system.
+
+
+ OTP-18570 Application(s): erts
+ Related Id(s): PR-7190
+
+ If a runtime system which was starting the distribution
+ already had existing pids, ports, or references
+ referring to a node with the same nodename/creation
+ pair that the runtime system was about to use, these
+ already existing pids, ports, or references would not
+ work as expected in various situations after the node
+ had gone alive. This could only occur if the runtime
+ system was communicated such pids, ports, or references
+ prior to the distribution was started. That is, it was
+ extremely unlikely to happen unless the distribution
+ was started dynamically and was even then very unlikely
+ to happen. The runtime system now checks for already
+ existing pids, ports, and references with the same
+ nodename/creation pair that it is about to use. If such
+ are found another creation will be chosen in order to
+ avoid these issues.
+
+
+ OTP-18597 Application(s): erts
+
+ Constructing a binary segment not aligned with a byte
+ boundary, with a size not fitting in 31 bits, and with
+ a value not fitting in a 64-bit word could crash the
+ runtime system.
+
+
+ --- Improvements and New Features ---
+
+ OTP-18569 Application(s): erts
+
+ Further robustify implementation of large maps (> 32
+ keys). Keys that happen to have same internal 32-bit
+ hash values are now put in collision nodes which are
+ traversed with linear search. This removes the demand
+ for the internal hash function when salted to
+ eventually produce different hashes for all possible
+ pairs of unequal terms.
+
+
+ Full runtime dependencies of erts-12.3.2.12: kernel-8.3, sasl-3.3,
+ stdlib-3.13
+
+
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+ --- stdlib-3.17.2.3 -------------------------------------------------
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ The stdlib-3.17.2.3 application can be applied independently of other
+ applications on a full OTP 24 installation.
+
+ --- Improvements and New Features ---
+
+ OTP-18556 Application(s): stdlib
+
+ Static supervisors are very idle processes after they
+ have started so they will now be hibernated after start
+ to improve resource management.
+
+
+ Full runtime dependencies of stdlib-3.17.2.3: compiler-5.0,
+ crypto-3.3, erts-12.0, kernel-7.0, sasl-3.0
+
+
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+ --- xmerl-1.3.28.1 --------------------------------------------------
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ The xmerl-1.3.28.1 application can be applied independently of other
+ applications on a full OTP 24 installation.
+
+ --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---
+
+ OTP-18595 Application(s): xmerl
+ Related Id(s): ERIERL-944
+
+ New options to xmerl_scan and xmerl_sax_parser so one
+ can limit the behaviour of the parsers to avoid some
+ XML security issues.
+
+ xmerl_scan gets one new option:
+
+ -- {allow_entities, Boolean} -- Gives the possibility
+ to disallow entities by setting this option to false
+ (true is default)
+
+ xmerl_sax_parser gets the following options:
+
+ -- disallow_entities -- Don't allow entities in
+ document
+
+ -- {entity_recurse_limit, N} -- Set a limit on entity
+ recursion depth (default is 3)
+
+ -- {external_entities, AllowedType} -- Specify which
+ types of external entities that are allowed, this also
+ affect external DTD's. The types are all(default), file
+ and none
+
+ -- {fail_undeclared_ref, Boolean} -- Sets the behavior
+ for undeclared references due to an external file is
+ not parsed (true is default)
+
+ The old option skip_external_dtd is still valid and the
+ same as {external_entities, none} and
+ {fail_undeclared_ref, false} but just affects DTD's and
+ not other external references.
+
+
+ Full runtime dependencies of xmerl-1.3.28.1: erts-6.0, kernel-3.0,
+ stdlib-2.5
