Check out the git tag OTP-18.1, 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
--- HIGHLIGHTS ------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
OTP-11397 Application(s): ssl
Add possibility to downgrade an SSL/TLS connection to a
tcp connection, and give back the socket control to a
user process.
This also adds the possibility to specify a timeout to
the ssl:close function.
OTP-12622 Application(s): ssh
Related Id(s): OTP-12671, OTP-12672
The key exchange algorithms 'ecdh-sha2-nistp256',
'ecdh-sha2-nistp384' and 'ecdh-sha2-nistp521' are
implemented. See RFC 5656.
This raises the security level considerably.
OTP-12671 Application(s): ssh
Related Id(s): OTP-12622, OTP-12672
The key exchange algorithm
'diffie-hellman-group14-sha1' is implemented. See RFC
4253.
This raises the security level.
OTP-12672 Application(s): ssh
Related Id(s): OTP-12622, OTP-12671
The key exchange algorithms
'diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1' and
'diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256' are implemented.
See RFC 4419.
This raises the security level.
OTP-12864 Application(s): kernel, sasl, stdlib
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.

--- compiler-6.0.1 --------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The compiler-6.0.1 application can be applied independently of other
applications on a full OTP 18 installation.
--- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---
OTP-12967 Application(s): compiler
Fix get_map_elements register corruption
Instruction get_map_elements might destroy target
registers when the fail-label is taken. Only seen for
patterns with two, and only two, target registers.
Specifically if we copy one register and then jump.
Full runtime dependencies of compiler-6.0.1: crypto-3.6, erts-7.0,
hipe-3.12, kernel-4.0, stdlib-2.5
---------------------------------------------------------------------
--- crypto-3.6.1 ----------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The crypto-3.6.1 application can be applied independently of other
applications on a full OTP 18 installation.
--- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---
OTP-12944 Application(s): crypto
Make crypto:ec_curves/0 return empty list if elliptic
curve is not supported at all.
Full runtime dependencies of crypto-3.6.1: erts-6.0, kernel-3.0,
stdlib-2.0
---------------------------------------------------------------------
--- debugger-4.1.1 --------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The debugger-4.1.1 application can be applied independently of other
applications on a full OTP 18 installation.
--- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---
OTP-12911 Application(s): debugger
Related Id(s): seq12906
Fix crash when starting a quick debugging session.
Thanks Alan Duffield.
Full runtime dependencies of debugger-4.1.1: compiler-5.0, erts-6.0,
kernel-3.0, stdlib-2.5, wx-1.2
---------------------------------------------------------------------
--- dialyzer-2.8.1 --------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Note! The dialyzer-2.8.1 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
dependency has to be satisfied:
-- hipe-3.13 (first satisfied in OTP 18.1)
--- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---
OTP-12865 Application(s): dialyzer
Improve the translation of forms to types.

OTP-12879 Application(s): diameter
Related Id(s): OTP-12475
Fix relay encode of nested, Grouped AVPs.
A fault in OTP-12475 caused encode to fail if the first
AVP in a Grouped AVP was itself Grouped.
OTP-12902 Application(s): diameter
Match acceptable peer addresses case insensitively.
Regular expressions passed in an 'accept' tuple to
diameter_tcp or diameter_sctp inappropriately matched
case.
OTP-12969 Application(s): diameter
Fix diameter_watchdog function clause.
OTP-12912 introduced an error with accepting transports
setting {restrict_connections, false}, causing
processes to fail when peer connections were
terminated.
--- Improvements and New Features ---
OTP-12871 Application(s): diameter
Don't report 5005 (DIAMETER_AVP_MISSING) errors
unnecessarily.
An AVP whose decode failed was reported as missing,
despite having been reported with another error as a
consequence of the failure.
OTP-12891 Application(s): diameter
Improve decode performance.
The time required to decode a message increased
quadratically with the number of AVPs in the worst
case, leading to extremely long execution times.
OTP-12912 Application(s): diameter
Improve watchdog and statistics performance.
Inefficient use of timers contributed to poor
performance at high load, as did ordering of the table
statistics are written to.
OTP-12947 Application(s): diameter
Add service_opt() strict_mbit.
There are differing opinions on whether or not
reception of an arbitrary AVP setting the M-bit is an
error. The default interpretation is strict: if a
command grammar doesn't explicitly allow an AVP setting
the M-bit then reception of such an AVP is regarded as
an error. Setting {strict_mbit, false} disables this
check.

linked to a process, and the trace port terminated
abnormally while handling a trace message. This bug has
always existed in the runtime system with SMP support.
OTP-12934 Application(s): erts
Instead of aborting, the vm now creates a crash dump
when a system process is terminated.

Fixed a rare emulator dead lock that occurred when
erlang:process_flag(priority,...) was called by a
process that was also scheduled for an internal system
activity.
OTP-12954 Application(s): erts
The runtime system on various posix platforms (except
for Linux and Solaris) could crash when large amounts
of file-descriptors were in use.
OTP-12962 Application(s): erts, hipe
A beam file compiled by hipe for an incompatible
runtime system was sometimes not rejected by the
loader, which could lead to vm crash. This fix will
also allow the same hipe compiler to be used by both
normal and debug-built vm.
OTP-12965 Application(s): erts
Fix bug in maps:merge/2 when called by hipe compiled
code that could cause vm crash. Bug exists since
erts-7.0 (OTP 18.0).

to use the previously used higher resolution clock
source by passing the switch
--with-clock-resolution=high when configuring the

*** 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

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.

OTP-12935 Application(s): odbc
New application variable to set timeout of internal
communication setup between the erlang code and the
c-port program that interfaces the odbc driver. This
can be useful if you have an underlying system that is
slow due to heavy load at startup.
With this environment variable you can easily bypass
and tailor odbc to the needs of the underlying actual
system without changing the configuration. Which is a
good thing because this value is very system specific.
