The stdlib-2.6 application can *not* be applied independently + of other applications on an arbitrary OTP 18 installation. + + On a full OTP 18 installation, also the following runtime + dependencies have to be satisfied: + -- kernel-4.1 (first satisfied in OTP 18.1) + -- sasl-2.6 (first satisfied in OTP 18.1) + + + --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions --- + + OTP-12946 Application(s): stdlib + + In OTP 18.0, qlc does not handle syntax errors well. + This bug has been fixed. + + + OTP-12950 Application(s): stdlib + + Optimize zip:unzip/2 when uncompressing to memory. + + + OTP-12973 Application(s): stdlib + + The stdlib reference manual is updated to show correct + information about the return value of gen_fsm:reply/2. + + + OTP-12977 Application(s): stdlib + + re:split2,3 and re:replace/3,4 now correctly handles + pre-compiled patterns that have been compiled using the + 'unicode' option. + + + OTP-12990 Application(s): stdlib + + Export shell:catch_exception/1 as documented. + + + --- Improvements and New Features --- + + OTP-12864 Application(s): kernel, sasl, stdlib + + *** HIGHLIGHT *** + + 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 if it turns out that it does not solve the + problem it is supposed to solve. In that case, there + may be backward incompatible improvements to this + mechanism. + + See the documentation for the config parameter + error_logger_format_depth in the Kernel application for + information about how to turn on this feature. + + + Full runtime dependencies of stdlib-2.6: compiler-5.0, crypto-3.3, + erts-7.0, kernel-4.1, sasl-2.6 + + + --------------------------------------------------------------------- + --- tools-2.8.1 ----------------------------------------------------- + --------------------------------------------------------------------- + + The tools-2.8.1 application can be applied independently of other + applications on a full OTP 18 installation. + + --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions --- + + OTP-12981 Application(s): tools + + If a module includes eunit.hrl, a parse transform adds + the function test/0 on line 0 in the module.
