 Check out the git tag OTP-24.3.4, 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 --------------------------------------------------
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

 The compiler-8.1.1 application can be applied independently of other
 applications on a full OTP 24 installation.

 --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---

  OTP-18066    Application(s): compiler
               Related Id(s): GH-5915

               Fixed a performance bug in the validator that made
               certain files take a very long time to compile.


  OTP-18082    Application(s): compiler

               In rare circumstances, the compiler would mistakenly
               assume that a call to setelement/3 would always fail
               and remove all code following the call.


 Full runtime dependencies of compiler-8.1.1: crypto-3.6, erts-11.0,
 kernel-7.0, stdlib-3.13


 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 --- erts-12.3.2 -----------------------------------------------------
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

 Note! The erts-12.3.2 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-17970    Application(s): erts
               Related Id(s): PR-5762

               Let EPMD tolerate failure when binding to IPv4/IPv6
               loopback intefaces in addition to user-supplied
               addresses via ERL_EPMD_ADDRESS or the -address option.
               This can happen, for example, if the host system has
               ipv6 disabled via the disable_ipv6 sysctl.


  OTP-18027    Application(s): erts

               Fixed a rare bug in binary_to_term/1,
               enif_make_map_from_arrays, erl_drv_send_term, and
               Erlang distribution that could crash the emulator.


  OTP-18065    Application(s): erts
               Related Id(s): GH-5908

               Fixed a rare race in persistent_term:get/1,2 that could
               cause it to return the value of another key.


  OTP-18075    Application(s): erts
               Related Id(s): PR-5927

               Fix bug where the process message queue was left in an
               inconsistent state when changing from on_heap to
               off_heap message queue data causing the GC to segfault.


  OTP-18076    Application(s): erts
               Related Id(s): ERIERL-802, PR-5905

               Fix functions that convert universal to localtime (such
               as erlang:localtime/0 and
               erlang:universaltime_to_localtime/1) to fetch the
               correct localtime if it is changed after the start of
               the VM.


  OTP-18077    Application(s): erts
               Related Id(s): GH-5876, PR-5892

               Fix memory leak when a process doing a distributed
               fragmented send is sent an exit signal. Before this fix
               the receiving node would be left with an incomplete
               message that would remain until the nodes were
               disconnected. The bug has existed since Erlang/OTP 21.


  OTP-18080    Application(s): erts, kernel
               Related Id(s): GH-5930

               Corrected the behaviour of the shutdown function when
               using with the inet_backend = socket. It was not
               sufficiently compatible with the "old" gen_tcp.


 Full runtime dependencies of erts-12.3.2: kernel-8.3, sasl-3.3,
 stdlib-3.13


 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 --- inets-7.5.3 -----------------------------------------------------
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

 The inets-7.5.3 application can be applied independently of other
 applications on a full OTP 24 installation.

 --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---

  OTP-18069    Application(s): inets
               Related Id(s): ERIERL-805

               Fix handling of erl_script_script option in httpd when
               atom 'all' is used as AllowedModule.


 Full runtime dependencies of inets-7.5.3: erts-6.0, kernel-3.0,
 mnesia-4.12, runtime_tools-1.8.14, ssl-5.3.4, stdlib-3.5


 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 --- kernel-8.3.2 ----------------------------------------------------
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

 Note! The kernel-8.3.2 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:
       -- erts-12.3 (first satisfied in OTP 24.3)


 --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---

  OTP-18078    Application(s): kernel
               Related Id(s): GH-5930

               inet:getopts/2 for the 'raw' option for a socket
               created with inet-backend 'socket' failed.


  OTP-18080    Application(s): erts, kernel
               Related Id(s): GH-5930

               Corrected the behaviour of the shutdown function when
               using with the inet_backend = socket. It was not
               sufficiently compatible with the "old" gen_tcp.


 Full runtime dependencies of kernel-8.3.2: crypto-5.0, erts-12.3,
 sasl-3.0, stdlib-3.13


 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 --- mnesia-4.20.4 ---------------------------------------------------
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

 The mnesia-4.20.4 application can be applied independently of other
 applications on a full OTP 24 installation.

 --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---

  OTP-18056    Application(s): mnesia

               Fixed mnesia:add_table_copy/3 so that calling it when
               mnesia started on another node does not fail or cause
               hanging nodes.


 Full runtime dependencies of mnesia-4.20.4: erts-9.0, kernel-5.3,
 stdlib-3.4


 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 --- ssl-10.7.3 ------------------------------------------------------
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

 Note! The ssl-10.7.3 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:
       -- public_key-1.11.3 (first satisfied in OTP 24.1.2)


 --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---

  OTP-18028    Application(s): ssl
               Related Id(s): GH-5835

               Client certification could fail if TLS-1.3 enabled
               client negotiated TLS-1.2 connection with the server,
               this is due to the wrong version being used when
               decoding the certificate request message from the
               server.


  OTP-18062    Application(s): ssl
               Related Id(s): GH-5898

               socket option packet_size was not handled in
               ssl:setops/2 and ssl:getotps/2


  OTP-18071    Application(s): ssl
               Related Id(s): GH-5930

               The type specifications for shell_docs:get_doc/3,
               shell_docs:get_callback_doc/3, and
               shell_docs:get_type_doc/3 incorrectly stated that the
               returned Metadata was an empty map.
