+ <item>
+ <p>
+ The type specifications for <c>file:posix/0</c> and
+ <c>inet:posix/0</c> have been updated according to which

+ return.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-14019 Aux Id: ERL-550 </p>

+ <item>
+ <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>
+ *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-14666</p>

+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-14713 Aux Id: ERL-500 </p>

+ <item>
+ <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>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Fix building of Erlang/OTP on platforms which have small
+ data area with short addressing. For example the
+ PowerPC/RTEMS platform.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-14909 Aux Id: PR-1692 </p>

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

+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-15013</p>
+ </item>
+ <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>

+ *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-11694</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <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>

+ <item>
+ <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>
+ <p>
+ *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***</p>
+ <p>
+ 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>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-14346</p>
+ </item>
+ <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>
+ <p>

+ Own Id: OTP-14370</p>
+ </item>
+ <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>

+ Own Id: OTP-14439</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <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>
+ Own Id: OTP-14459</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <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>

+ <item>
+ <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>,

+ <p>
+ 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>
+ <p>
+ Added a PGO (profile guided optimization) pass to the
+ build step of erts. This can be disabled by passing
+ --disable-pgo to configure.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-14604</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Improved the performance of <c>binary:split</c> and

+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-14610 Aux Id: PR-1480 </p>
+ </item>

+ <p>
+ 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:

+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-14626</p>
+ </item>
+ <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>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-14637 Aux Id: ERL-327 PR-1524 </p>
+ </item>

+ <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>
+ <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>
+ Own Id: OTP-14680</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ On platforms with real-time signals available, SIGRTMIN+1

+ <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>

+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Added more statistics for

+ <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

+ Make hipe compiled code work on x86_64 (amd64) with OS

+ <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>

+ automatically rewrite the code to
+ <c>example({ok,Val}=Tuple) -&gt; Tuple.</c> which will
+ reduce code size, execution time, and remove GC
+ pressure.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-14505</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

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

+ <p>The following is an internal change in the compiler,
+ that is not noticeable for normal use of the compiler:

+ to change the argument order. The compiler has now become

+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-14774</p>

+ 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>
