- <p>
- The type specifications for <c>file:posix/0</c> and
- <c>inet:posix/0</c> have been updated according to which
- errors file and socket operations should be able to
- return.</p>
- <p>
- Own Id: OTP-14019 Aux Id: ERL-550 </p>

- <p>
- Fix error printout from run_erl and a bug that could
- cause unintended fds to be leaked into the started
- program.</p>
- <p>
- Own Id: OTP-14537 Aux Id: PR1529 </p>
- </item>
- <item>
- <p> File operations used to accept <seealso
- marker="kernel:file#type-name_all">filenames</seealso>
- containing null characters (integer value zero). This
- caused the name to be truncated and in some cases
- arguments to primitive operations to be mixed up.
- Filenames containing null characters inside the filename
- are now <em>rejected</em> and will cause primitive file
- operations to fail. </p> <p> Also environment variable
- operations used to accept <seealso
- marker="kernel:os#type-env_var_name">names</seealso> and
- <seealso
- marker="kernel:os#type-env_var_value">values</seealso> of
- environment variables containing null characters (integer
- value zero). This caused operations to silently produce
- erroneous results. Environment variable names and values
- containing null characters inside the name or value are
- now <em>rejected</em> and will cause environment variable
- operations to fail. </p> <p>Primitive environment
- variable operations also used to accept the <c>$=</c>
- character in environment variable names causing various
- problems. <c>$=</c> characters in environment variable
- names are now also <em>rejected</em>. </p> <p>Also
- <seealso
- marker="kernel:os#cmd/1"><c>os:cmd/1</c></seealso> now
- reject null characters inside its <seealso
- marker="kernel:os#type-os_command">command</seealso>.
- </p> <p><seealso
- marker="erts:erlang#open_port/2"><c>erlang:open_port/2</c></seealso>

- Fix bugs related to the bookkeeping of microstate
- accounting states.</p>
- <p>
- Own Id: OTP-14652</p>
- </item>
- <item>
- <p><c>os:putenv</c> and <c>os:getenv</c> no longer access
- the process environment directly and instead work on a
- thread-safe emulation. The only observable difference is
- that it's <em>not</em> kept in sync with libc
- <c>getenv(3)</c> / <c>putenv(3)</c>, so those who relied
- on that behavior in drivers or NIFs will need to add
- manual synchronization.</p> <p>On Windows this means that
- you can no longer resolve DLL dependencies by modifying
- the <c>PATH</c> just before loading the driver/NIF. To
- make this less of a problem, the emulator now adds the
- target DLL's folder to the DLL search path.</p>
- <p>

- <p>Fixed a bug where the PATH environment variable wasn't
- updated correctly on a release downgrade, effectively
- keeping the PATH of the new release.</p>
- <p>
- Own Id: OTP-14719</p>
- </item>
- <item>
- <p>A receive optimization that avoids scanning the entire
- message queue when receiving a message containing a
- freshly created reference could in rare circumstances
- (involving recursive calls to the functions that does the
- receive) cause the receive to hang. This has been
- corrected.</p>
- <p>
- Own Id: OTP-14782 Aux Id: ERL-511 </p>

- <p>
- Own Id: OTP-14931</p>
- </item>

- <p>
- Improve <c>float_to_list(F, [{decimals,D}])</c> to closer
- conform with <c>io_lib:format("~.*f", [D,F])</c>.</p>
- <p>
- There are however, still cases when <c>float_to_list</c>
- does not produce the exact same result as
- <c>io_lib:format</c>, especially for large values
- <c>F</c> and/or many decimals <c>D</c>.</p>

- <item>
- <p>
- The erlang:system_flag(scheduler_wall_time,Bool) call is
- now reference counted and will be turned off if the
- (last) process that started the performance statistics
- dies. Thus it is no longer possible to start the
- statistics with rpc:call(Node, erlang, system_flag,
- [scheduler_wall_time, true]) since it will be turned off
- directly afterwards when the rpc process dies.</p>

- A new logging API is added to OTP. This is implemented in
- the Kernel application, module logger.</p>
- <p>
- Legacy calls to error_logger will be automatically
- redirected to the new API.</p>
- <p>
- See the reference manual for module logger, and the
- User's Guide for the Kernel application for more
- information.</p>

- <p>
- <c>gen_sctp:connect_init/4</c> or rather connect in
- <c>inet_drv.c</c> for SCTP has been fixed to not check
- the write file descriptor for writeability after a
- connect, since for SCTP (SOCK_SEQPACKET) that property
- does not seem to be any kind of indicator for when a
- connect has finished. This fixes connects that the OS
- returned as "in progress" that was misinterpreted by
- <c>gen_sctp:connect_init</c> as failed.</p>
- <p>
- Own Id: OTP-13760 Aux Id: PR-1592 </p>
- </item>
- <item>
- <p>The file driver has been rewritten as a NIF,
- decreasing the latency of file operations. Two notable
- incompatibilities are:</p> <list> <item><p>The
- <c>use_threads</c> option for <c>file:sendfile/5</c> no
- longer has any effect; we either use non-blocking
- <c>sendfile(2)</c> or fall back to <c>file:read</c> +
- <c>gen_tcp:send</c>. </p></item> <item><p>The
- file-specific DTrace probes have been removed. The same
- effect can be achieved with normal tracing together with
- the <c>nif__entry</c>/<c>nif__return</c> probes to track
- scheduling.</p></item> </list>

- Own Id: OTP-14256</p>
- </item>
- <item>
- <p>The I/O polling functionality of erts has been
- re-written to better make use of the OSs polling
- mechanisms. This change means that erts will now always
- prefer to use a kernel-polling mechanism if possible.
- Also all of the I/O polling has been moved to dedicated
- threads instead of being placed in the scheduler
- loops.</p> <p>As a result of this, the <c>erl</c> options
- <c>+K</c> and <c>+secio</c> have been removed. It is
- still possible to disable kernel-poll, but it has to be
- done at compile time through the configure option
- <c>--disable-kernel-poll</c>.</p> <p>The new <c>erl</c>
- options <seealso marker="erl#+IOt"><c>+IOt</c></seealso>
- and <seealso marker="erl#+IOp"><c>+IOp</c></seealso> can
- be used to change how many IO poll threads and poll sets
- that erts should use. See their respective documentation
- for more details.</p>

- <item>
- <p>Truly asynchronous auto-connect. Earlier, when
- <c>erlang:send</c> was done toward an unconnected node,
- the function would not return until the connection setup
- had completed (or failed). Now the function returns
- directly after the signal has been enqueued and the
- connection setup started.</p>
- <p>The same applies to all distributed operations that
- may trigger auto-connect, i.e. <c>'!'</c>, <c>send</c>,
- <c>link</c>, <c>monitor</c>, <c>monitor_node</c>,
- <c>exit/2</c> and <c>group_leader</c>.</p>
- <p>The interface for all these functions are unchanged as
- they do not return connection failures. The only
- exception is <c>erlang:monitor</c> where a <em>possible
- incompatibility</em> is introduced: An attempt to monitor
- a process on a primitive node (such as erl_interface or
- jinterface), where remote process monitoring is not
- implemented, will no longer fail with <c>badarg</c>
- exception. Instead a monitor will be created, but it will
- only supervise the connection to the node.</p>

- <item>
- <p>Changed the default behaviour of <c>.erlang</c>
- loading: <c>.erlang</c> is no longer loaded from the
- current directory. <c>c:erlangrc(PathList)</c> can be
- used to search and load an <c>.erlang</c> file from user
- specified directories.</p> <p><c>escript</c>,
- <c>erlc</c>, <c>dialyzer</c> and <c>typer</c> no longer
- load an <c>.erlang</c> at all.</p>

- New functionality for implementation of alternative
- carriers for the Erlang distribution has been introduced.
- This mainly consists of support for usage of distribution
- controller processes (previously only ports could be used
- as distribution controllers). For more information see
- <seealso marker="erts:alt_dist#distribution_module">ERTS
- User's Guide ➜ How to implement an Alternative Carrier
- for the Erlang Distribution ➜ Distribution
- Module</seealso>.</p>

- <p>
- Add support for the lcc compiler and in extension the
- Elbrus 2000 platform.</p>
- <p>
- Own Id: OTP-14492</p>
- </item>
- <item>
- <p>Support for "tuple calls" have been removed from the
- run-time system. Tuple calls was an undocumented and
- unsupported feature which allowed the module argument for
- an apply operation to be a tuple: <c>Var = dict:new(),
- Var:size()</c>. This "feature" frequently caused
- confuses, especially when such call failed. The
- stacktrace would point out functions that don't exist in
- the source code.</p>
- <p>For legacy code that need to use parameterized modules
- or tuple calls for some other reason, there is a new
- compiler option called <c>tuple_calls</c>. When this
- option is given, the compiler will generate extra code
- that emulates the old behavior for calls where the module
- is a variable.</p>

- <p>Creation of small maps with literal keys has been
- optimized to be faster and potentially use less memory .
- The keys are combined into a literal key tuple which is
- put into the literal pool. The key tuple can be shared
- between many instances of maps having the same keys.</p>
- <p>
- Own Id: OTP-14502</p>
- </item>
- <item>
- <p>
- When an exception is thrown, include the arguments of the
- call in the stacktrace for BIFs <c>band</c>, <c>bor</c>,
- <c>bsl</c>, <c>bsr</c>, <c>bxor</c>, <c>div</c>,

- The non-smp emulators have been removed. This means that
- the configure options <c>--disable-threads</c> and
- <c>--enable-plain-emulator</c> have been removed and
- configure will now refuse to build Erlang/OTP on
- platforms without thread support.</p>
- <p>
- In order to achieve a similar setup as the non-smp
- emulator, it is possible to start Erlang/OTP with the
- <c>+S 1</c> option.</p>

- Implementation of true asynchronous signaling between
- processes in order to improve scalability. Signals
- affected include exit, monitor, demonitor, monitor
- triggered, link, unlink, and group leader.</p>
- <p>
- Own Id: OTP-14589</p>
- </item>
- <item>

- It is not longer possible to disable dirty schedulers
- when building erlang.</p>
- <p>
- Own Id: OTP-14613</p>
- </item>
- <item>
- <p>Loaded BEAM code in a 64-bit system requires less
- memory because of better packing of operands for
- instructions.</p>
- <p>These memory savings were achieved by major
- improvements to the <c>beam_makeops</c> scripts used when
- building the run time system and BEAM compiler. There is
- also new for documentation for <c>beam_makeops</c> that
- describes how new BEAM instructions and loader
- transformations can be implemented. The documentation is
- found in here in a source directory or git repository:
- erts/emulator/internal_doc/beam_makeops.md. An online
- version can be found here:

- <item>
- <p><c>file:read_file</c> has been changed to read the
- content of files that report a size of 0 even when data
- can be read from them. An example of such a file is
- /proc/cpuinfo on Linux.</p>

- It is no longer possible to disable the temp_alloc
- allocator. Disabling it caused serious performance
- degradations and was never what was wanted.</p>
- <p>
- Own Id: OTP-14651</p>

- <item>
- <p>The reduction cost of sending messages is now
- constant. It will no longer scale according to the length
- of the receiving process' message queue.</p>
- <p>
- Own Id: OTP-14667</p>
- </item>
- <item>
- <p>
- Improved loading of modules with <c>-on_load</c>

- <p>
- On platforms with real-time signals available, SIGRTMIN+1
- is now used as the internal scheduler suspend signal
- instead of SIGUSR2.</p>
- <p>
- Own Id: OTP-14682</p>
- </item>
- <item>
- <p>When the value returned from a '<c>catch</c>'
- expression is ignored, no stacktrace will be built if an
- exception is caught. That will save time and produce less
- garbage. There are also some minor optimizations of
- '<c>try</c>/<c>catch</c>' both in the compiler and
- run-time system.</p>

- Own Id: OTP-14683</p>
- </item>

- <p>The guarantees and non-guarantees of
- <c>erlang:get_stacktrace/0</c> are now documented.</p>
- <p>
- Own Id: OTP-14687</p>
- </item>
- <item>
- <p>There is a new syntax in '<c>try/catch</c>' for
- retrieving the stacktrace without calling
- '<c>erlang:get_stacktrace/0</c>'. See the reference
- manual for a description of the new syntax. The
- '<c>erlang:get_stacktrace/0</c>' BIF is now
- deprecated.</p>
- <p>
- Own Id: OTP-14692</p>
- </item>
- <item>
- <p>
- New 'used' option for <c>binary_to_term/2</c> that will
- also return number of bytes actually read from the

- binary located directly after the returned term.</p>
- <p>
- Own Id: OTP-14780</p>

- <p>
- Optimized the common case of <c>monitor</c> followed by
- <c>send</c> to the same local process. The monitor signal
- is now delayed in order to be piggybacked with the sent

- message queue of the receiver. A delayed monitor signal
- is flushed if no <c>send</c> has been done at the latest
- when the process is scheduled out.</p>

- <p>Support for "tuple calls" have been removed from the
- run-time system. Tuple calls was an undocumented and
- unsupported feature which allowed the module argument for
- an apply operation to be a tuple: <c>Var = dict:new(),
- Var:size()</c>. This "feature" frequently caused
- confuses, especially when such call failed. The
- stacktrace would point out functions that don't exist in
- the source code.</p>
- <p>For legacy code that need to use parameterized modules
- or tuple calls for some other reason, there is a new
- compiler option called <c>tuple_calls</c>. When this
- option is given, the compiler will generate extra code
- that emulates the old behavior for calls where the module
- is a variable.</p>

- reduce code size, execution time, and remove GC
- pressure.</p>

- <p>Loaded BEAM code in a 64-bit system requires less

- <p>These memory savings were achieved by major
- improvements to the <c>beam_makeops</c> scripts used when
- building the run time system and BEAM compiler. There is
- also new for documentation for <c>beam_makeops</c> that
- describes how new BEAM instructions and loader

- <p>When the value returned from a '<c>catch</c>'
- expression is ignored, no stacktrace will be built if an

- incompatibility: in the presence of network problems a

- <p> The new functions <c>io_lib:fwrite/3</c> and
- <c>io_lib:format/3</c> take a third argument, an option
- list. The only option is <c>chars_limit</c>, which is
- used for limiting the number of returned characters. The
- limit is soft, which means that the number of returned
- characters exceeds the limit with at most a smallish
- amount. If the limit is set, the functions
- <c>format/3</c> and <c>fwrite/3</c> try to distribute the
- number of characters evenly over the control sequences
- <c>pPswW</c>. Furthermore, the control sequences
- <c>pPwP</c> try to distribute the number of characters
- evenly over substructures. </p> <p> A modification of the
- control sequences <c>pPwW</c> is that even if there is no
- limit on the number of returned characters, all
- associations of a map are printed to the same depth. The
- aim is to give a more consistent output as the order of
- map keys is not defined. As before, if the depth is less
- than the number of associations of a map, the selection
- of associations to print is arbitrary. </p>

- <p>External funs with literal values for module, name,
