+### Building ###
-and the following "Daily Cross Build Tests":
+* GNU `make`
+* Compiler -- GNU C Compiler, `gcc` or the C compiler frontend for LLVM, `clang`.
+* Perl 5
+* GNU `m4` -- If HiPE (native code) support is enabled. HiPE can be
+ disabled using `--disable-hipe`
+* `ncurses`, `termcap`, or `termlib` -- The development headers and
+ libraries are needed, often known as `ncurses-devel`. Use
+ `--without-termcap` to build without any of these libraries. Note that
+ in this case only the old shell (without any line editing) can be used.
+* `sed` -- Stream Editor for basic text transformation.
-* SuSE Linux/GNU 10.1 x86\_64
+#### Building in Git ####
-Versions Known NOT to Work
---------------------------
+* GNU `autoconf` of at least version 2.59. Note that `autoconf` is not
+ needed when building an unmodified version of the released source.
-* Suse linux 9.1 is shipped with a patched GCC version 3.3.3, having the
- rpm named `gcc-3.3.3-41`. That version has a serious optimization bug
- that makes it unusable for building the Erlang emulator. Please
- upgrade GCC to a newer version before building on Suse 9.1. Suse Linux
- Enterprise edition 9 (SLES9) has `gcc-3.3.3-43` and is not affected.
+#### Building on OS X ####
-* `gcc-4.3.0` has a serious optimizer bug. It produces an Erlang emulator
- that will crash immediately. The bug is supposed to be fixed in
- `gcc-4.3.1`.
+* Xcode -- Download and install via the Mac App Store.
+ Read about [Building on a Mac][] before proceeding.
-* FreeBSD had a bug which caused `kqueue`/`poll`/`select` to fail to detect
- that a `writev()` on a pipe has been made. This bug should have been fixed
- in FreeBSD 6.3 and FreeBSD 7.0. NetBSD and DragonFlyBSD probably have or
- have had the same bug. More information can be found at:

- * <http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-arch/2007-September/006790.html>
+* An `install` program that can take multiple file names.
-* `getcwd()` on Solaris 9 can cause an emulator crash. If you have
- async-threads enabled you can increase the stack size of the
- async-threads as a temporary workaround. See the `+a` command-line
- argument in the documentation of `erl(1)`. Without async-threads the
- emulator is not as vulnerable to this bug, but if you hit it without
- async-threads the only workaround available is to enable async-threads
- and increase the stack size of the async-threads. Sun has however
- released patches that fixes the issue:

-Required Utilities
-------------------
+* OpenSSL -- The opensource toolkit for Secure Socket Layer
+ and Transport Layer Security.
+ Required for building the application `crypto`.
+ Further, `ssl` and `ssh` require a working crypto application and
+ will also be skipped if OpenSSL is missing. The `public_key`
+ application will available without `crypto`, but the functionality
+ will be very limited.
+
+ The development package of OpenSSL including the header files are needed as well
+ as the binary command program `openssl`. At least version 0.9.8 of OpenSSL is required.
+ Read more and download from <http://www.openssl.org>.
+* Oracle Java SE JDK -- The Java Development Kit (Standard Edition).
+ Required for building the application `jinterface` and parts of `ic` and `orber`.
+ At least version 1.5.0 of the JDK is required.
+
+ Download from <http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads>.
+ We have also tested with IBM's JDK 1.5.0.
+* X Windows -- Development headers and libraries are needed
+ to build the Erlang/OTP application `gs` on Unix/Linux.
+* `flex` -- Headers and libraries are needed to build the flex
+ scanner for the `megaco` application on Unix/Linux.

-
- # Bourne shell
- $ LANG=C; export LANG
+Run the following commands to configure the build:

- $ setenv LANG C
+> *NOTE*: If you are building Erlang/OTP from git you will need to run `./otp_build autoconf` to generate

-Step 4: Run the following commands to configure the build:
+By default, Erlang/OTP release will be installed in `/usr/local/{bin,lib/erlang}`.
+If you for instance don't have the permission to install in the standard location,
+ you can install Erlang/OTP somewhere else. For example, to install in
+`/opt/erlang/%OTP-VSN%/{bin,lib/erlang}`, use the `--prefix=/opt/erlang/%OTP-VSN%` option.
- $ ./configure [ options ]
+On some platforms Perl may behave strangely if certain locales are

$ make
+
+### Testing ###
+
+Before installation you should test whether your build is working properly
+by running our smoke test. The smoke test is a subset of the complete Erlang/OTP test suites.
+First you will need to build and release the test suites.
+
+ $ make release_tests
+
+This creates an additional folder in `$ERL_TOP/release` called `tests`.
+Now, it's time to start the smoke test.
+
+ $ cd release/tests/test_server
+ $ $ERL_TOP/bin/erl -s ts install -s ts smoke_test batch -s init stop
+
+To verify that everything is ok you should open `$ERL_TOP/release/tests/test_server/index.html`
+in your web browser and make sure that there are zero failed test cases.

+You should now have a working release of Erlang/OTP!
+Jump to [System Principles][] for instructions on running Erlang/OTP.
+
+
+### How to Build the Documentation ###
+
+Make sure you're in the top directory in the source tree.
+
+ $ cd $ERL_TOP
+
+If you have just built Erlang/OTP in the current source tree, you have
+already ran `configure` and do not need to do this again; otherwise, run
+`configure`.
+
+ $ ./configure [Configure Args]
+
+When building the documentation you need a full Erlang/OTP-%OTP-VSN% system in
+the `$PATH`.
+
+ $ export PATH=$ERL_TOP/bin:$PATH # Assuming bash/sh
+
+Build the documentation.
-#### Configuring ####
+ $ make docs
+
+#### Build Issues ####
+
+We have sometimes experienced problems with Oracle's `java` running out of
+memory when running `fop`. Increasing the amount of memory available
+as follows has in our case solved the problem.
+
+ $ export FOP_OPTS="-Xmx<Installed amount of RAM in MB>m"
+
+More information can be found at
+* <http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.95/running.html#memory>.
+
+
+### How to Install the Documentation ###
+
+The documentation can be installed either using the `install-docs` target,
+or using the `release_docs` target.
+
+* If you have installed Erlang/OTP using the `install` target, install
+ the documentation using the `install-docs` target. Install locations
+ determined by `configure` will be used. `$DESTDIR` can be used the
+ same way as when doing `make install`.
+
+ $ make install-docs
+
+* If you have installed Erlang/OTP using the `release` target, install
+ the documentation using the `release_docs` target. You typically want
+ to use the same `RELEASE_ROOT` as when invoking `make release`.
+
+ $ make release_docs RELEASE_ROOT=<release dir>
+
+
+### Accessing the Documentation ###
+
+After installation you can access the documentation by
+
+* Reading man pages. Make sure that `erl` is referring to the
+ installed version. For example `/usr/local/bin/erl`.
+ Try viewing at the man page for Mnesia
+
+ $ erl -man mnesia
+
+* Browsing the html pages by loading the page `/usr/local/lib/erlang/doc/erlang/index.html`
+ or `<BaseDir>/lib/erlang/doc/erlang/index.html` if the prefix option has been used.
+
+
+### How to Install the Pre-formatted Documentation ###
+
+Pre-formatted [html documentation][] and [man pages][] can be downloaded from
+* <http://www.erlang.org/download.html>.
+
+Extract the html archive in the installation directory.
+
+ $ cd <ReleaseDir>
+ $ tar -zxf otp_html_%OTP-VSN%.tar.gz
+
+For `erl -man <page>` to work the Unix manual pages have to be
+installed in the same way, i.e.
+
+ $ cd <ReleaseDir>
+ $ tar -zxf otp_man_%OTP-VSN%.tar.gz
+
+Where `<ReleaseDir>` is
+
+* `<PrefixDir>/lib/erlang` if you have installed Erlang/OTP using
+ `make install`.
+* `$DESTDIR<PrefixDir>/lib/erlang` if you have installed Erlang/OTP
+ using `make install DESTDIR=<TmpInstallDir>`.
+* `RELEASE_ROOT` if you have installed using
+ `make release RELEASE_ROOT=<ReleaseDir>`.
+
+
+Advanced configuration and build of Erlang/OTP
+----------------------------------------------
+
+If you want to tailor your Erlang/OTP build and installation, please read
+on for detailed information about the individual steps.
+
+### make and $ERL\_TOP ###
+
+All the makefiles in the entire directory tree use the environment
+variable `ERL_TOP` to find the absolute path of the installation. The
+`configure` script will figure this out and set it in the top level
+Makefile (which, when building, it will pass on). However, when
+developing it is sometimes convenient to be able to run make in a
+subdirectory. To do this you must set the `ERL_TOP` variable
+before you run make.
-Step 4 runs a configuration script created by the GNU autoconf utility, which
+For example, assume your GNU make program is called `make` and you
+want to rebuild the application `STDLIB`, then you could do:
+
+ $ cd lib/stdlib; env ERL_TOP=<Dir> make
+
+where `<Dir>` would be what you find `ERL_TOP` is set to in the top level
+Makefile.
+
+### otp\_build vs configure/make ###
+
+Building Erlang/OTP can be done either by using the `$ERL_TOP/otp_build`
+script, or by invoking `$ERL_TOP/configure` and `make` directly. Building using
+`otp_build` is easier since it involves fewer steps, but the `otp_build` build
+procedure is not as flexible as the `configure`/`make` build procedure. The binary
+releases for Windows that we deliver are built using `otp_build`.

-Erlang/OTP system which you can try by typing `bin/erl`. This should start
-up Erlang/OTP and give you a prompt:
+### Building ###
+
+Building Erlang/OTP on a relatively fast computer takes approximately
+5 minutes. To speed it up, you can utilize parallel make with the `-j<num_jobs>` option.
+
+ $ export MAKEFLAGS=-j8 # Assuming bash/sh
+ $ make
+
+If you've upgraded the source with a patch you may need to clean up from previous
+builds before the new build.
+Make sure to read the [Pre-built Source Release][] section below before doing a `make clean`.
+
+#### Within Git ####
+
+When building in a Git working directory you also have to have a GNU `autoconf`
+of at least version 2.59 on your system, because you need to generate the
+`configure` scripts before you can start building.
+
+The `configure` scripts are generated by invoking `./otp_build autoconf` in
+the `$ERL_TOP` directory. The `configure` scripts also have to be regenerated
+when a `configure.in` or `aclocal.m4` file has been modified. Note that when
+checking out a branch a `configure.in` or `aclocal.m4` file may change
+content, and you may therefore have to regenerate the `configure` scripts
+when checking out a branch. Regenerated `configure` scripts imply that you
+have to run `configure` and build again.
+
+> *NOTE*: Running `./otp_build autoconf` is **not** needed when building
+> an unmodified version of the released source.
+
+Other useful information can be found at our GitHub wiki:
+* <http://wiki.github.com/erlang/otp>
+
+#### OS X (Darwin) ####
+
+Make sure that the command `hostname` returns a valid fully qualified host
+name (this is configured in `/etc/hostconfig`). Otherwise you might experience
+problems when running distributed systems.
+
+If you develop linked-in drivers (shared library) you need to link using
+`gcc` and the flags `-bundle -flat_namespace -undefined suppress`. You also
+include `-fno-common` in `CFLAGS` when compiling. Use `.so` as the library
+suffix.
+
+If you have Xcode 4.3, or later, you will also need to download
+"Command Line Tools" via the Downloads preference pane in Xcode.
+
+#### Building with wxErlang ####
+
+If you want to build the `wx` application, you will need to get wxWidgets-3.0
+(`wxWidgets-3.0.0.tar.bz2` from <http://sourceforge.net/projects/wxwindows/files/3.0.0/>) or get it from github with bug fixes:
+
+ $ git clone --branch WX_3_0_branch [email protected]:wxWidgets/wxWidgets.git
+
+Be aware that the wxWidgets-3.0 is a new release of wxWidgets, it is not as
+mature as the old releases and the OS X port still lags behind the other ports.
+
+Configure and build wxWidgets (on Mavericks - 10.9):
- $ bin/erl
- Erlang/OTP %OTP-REL% [erts-%ERTS-VSN%] [source] [smp:4:4] [async-threads:0] [kernel-poll:false]
+ $ ./configure --with-cocoa --prefix=/usr/local
+ or without support for old versions and with static libs
+ $ ./configure --with-cocoa --prefix=/usr/local --with-macosx-version-min=10.9 --disable-shared
+ $ make
+ $ sudo make install
+ $ export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
- Eshell V%ERTS-VSN% (abort with ^G)
- 1> _
+Check that you got the correct wx-config
-#### Installing ####
+ $ which wx-config && wx-config --version-full
-Step 6 is optional. It installs Erlang/OTP at a standardized location (if you
-change your mind about where you wish to install you can rerun step 4,
-without having to do step 5 again).
+Build Erlang/OTP
+
+ $ export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
+ $ cd $ERL_TOP
+ $ ./configure
+ $ make
+ $ sudo make install
-##### Alternative Installation Procedures #####
+
+#### Pre-built Source Release ####
+
+The source release is delivered with a lot of platform independent
+build results already pre-built. If you want to remove these pre-built
+files, invoke `./otp_build remove_prebuilt_files` from the `$ERL_TOP`
+directory. After you have done this, you can build exactly the same way
+as before, but the build process will take a much longer time.
+
+> *WARNING*: Doing `make clean` in an arbitrary directory of the source
+> tree, may remove files needed for bootstrapping the build.
+>
+> Doing `./otp_build save_bootstrap` from the `$ERL_TOP` directory before
+> doing `make clean` will ensure that it will be possible to build after
+> doing `make clean`. `./otp_build save_bootstrap` will be invoked
+> automatically when `make` is invoked from `$ERL_TOP` with either the
+> `clean` target, or the default target. It is also automatically invoked
+> if `./otp_build remove_prebuilt_files` is invoked.
+
+#### How to Build a Debug Enabled Erlang RunTime System ####
+
+After completing all the normal building steps described above a debug
+enabled runtime system can be built. To do this you have to change
+directory to `$ERL_TOP/erts/emulator`.
+
+In this directory execute:
+
+ $ make debug FLAVOR=$FLAVOR
+
+where `$FLAVOR` is either `plain` or `smp`. The flavor options will
+produce a beam.debug and beam.smp.debug executable respectively. The
+files are installed along side with the normal (opt) versions `beam.smp`
+and `beam`.
+
+To start the debug enabled runtime system execute:
+
+ $ $ERL_TOP/bin/cerl -debug
+
+The debug enabled runtime system features lock violation checking,
+assert checking and various sanity checks to help a developer ensure
+correctness. Some of these features can be enabled on a normal beam
+using appropriate configure options.
+
+There are other types of runtime systems that can be built as well
+using the similar steps just described.
+
+ $ make $TYPE FLAVOR=$FLAVOR
+
+where `$TYPE` is `opt`, `gcov`, `gprof`, `debug`, `valgrind`, or `lcnt`.
+These different beam types are useful for debugging and profiling
+purposes.

-
-Other useful information can be found at our github wiki:
-<http://wiki.github.com/erlang/otp>
-
-### make and $ERL\_TOP ###
-
-All the makefiles in the entire directory tree use the environment
-variable `ERL_TOP` to find the absolute path of the installation. The
-`configure` script will figure this out and set it in the top level
-Makefile (which, when building, it will pass on). However, when
-developing it is sometimes convenient to be able to run make in a
-subdirectory. To do this you must set the `ERL_TOP` variable
-before you run make.
-
-For example, assume your GNU make program is called `make` and you
-want to rebuild the application `STDLIB`, then you could do:
-
- $ cd lib/stdlib; env ERL_TOP=<Dir> make
-
-where `<Dir>` would be what you find `ERL_TOP` is set to in the top level
-Makefile.
-
-The Erlang/OTP Documentation
-----------------------------
-
-### How to Build the Documentation ###
-
-Before you can build the documentation you need to either [native build][]
-or [cross build][] the Erlang/OTP system. After this you can build the
-documentation as follows.
-
- $ cd $ERL_TOP
- $ make docs
-
-The documentation can be installed either using the `install-docs` target,
-or using the `release_docs` target.
-
-* If you have installed Erlang/OTP using the `install` target, install
- the documentation using the `install-docs` target. Install locations
- determined by `configure` will be used. `$DESTDIR` can be used the
- same way as when doing `make install`.
-
- $ make install-docs
-
-* If you have installed Erlang/OTP using the `release` target, install
- the documentation using the `release_docs` target. You typically want
- to use the same `RELEASE_ROOT` as when invoking `make release`.
-
- $ make release_docs RELEASE_ROOT=<release dir>
-#### Build Issues ####
+### Running ###
-We have sometimes experienced problems with Sun's `java` running out of
-memory when running `fop`. Increasing the amount of memory available
-as follows has in our case solved the problem.
-
- $ export FOP_OPTS="-Xmx<Installed amount of RAM in MB>m"
-
-More information can be found at
-<http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.95/running.html#memory>.
-
-### How to Install the Pre-formatted Documentation ###
-
-Pre-formatted [html documentation][] and [man pages][] can be downloaded at
-<http://www.erlang.org/download.html>.
-
-For some graphical tools to find the on-line help you have to install
-the HTML documentation on top of the installed OTP applications, i.e.
-
- $ cd <ReleaseDir>
- $ gunzip -c otp_html_%OTP-VSN%.tar.gz | tar xf -
-
-For `erl -man <page>` to work the Unix manual pages have to be
-installed in the same way, i.e.
-
- $ cd <ReleaseDir>
- $ gunzip -c otp_man_%OTP-VSN%.tar.gz | tar xf -
-
-Where `<ReleaseDir>` is
-
-* `<PrefixDir>/lib/erlang` if you have installed Erlang/OTP using
- `make install`.
-* `$DESTDIR<PrefixDir>/lib/erlang` if you have installed Erlang/OTP
- using `make install DESTDIR=<TmpInstallDir>`.
-* `RELEASE_ROOT` if you have installed using
- `make release RELEASE_ROOT=<ReleaseDir>`.
-
-Support for SMP (Symmetric Multi Processing)
---------------------------------------------
-
-An emulator with SMP support will be built by default on most platforms
-if a usable POSIX thread library or native Windows threads is found.
-
-You can force building of an SMP emulator, by using
-`./configure --enable-smp-support`. However, if configure does not
-automatically enable SMP support, the build is very likely to fail.
-
-Use `./configure --disable-smp-support` if you for some reason do not
-want to have the emulator with SMP support built.
-
-If SMP support is enabled, support for threaded I/O will also be turned on
-(also in the emulator without SMP support).
-
-The `erl` command will automatically start the SMP emulator if the
-computer has more than one logical processor. You can force a start
-of the emulator with SMP support by passing `-smp enable` as
-command line arguments to erl, and you can force a start of the
-emulator without SMP support by passing `-smp disable`.

-%% `ct_conn_log_h'. To use this error handler, add the `cth_conn_log'
-%% hook in your test suite, e.g:
-%%
+%% The default logging behaviour of `ct_telnet' is to print information

+%% and their corresponding results. What won't be printed to the HTML log
+%% are text strings sent from the telnet server that are not explicitly
+%% received by means of a `ct_telnet' function such as `expect/3'.
+%% `ct_telnet' may however be configured to use a special purpose event handler,
+%% implemented in `ct_conn_log_h', for logging <b>all</b> telnet traffic.
+%% To use this handler, you need to install a Common Test hook named
+%% `cth_conn_log'. Example (using the test suite info function):
%%
%% ```
%% suite() ->
-%% [{ct_hooks, [{cth_conn_log, [{conn_mod(),hook_options()}]}]}].

-%% <dl>
-%% <dt>`raw'</dt>
-%% <dd>The sent and received telnet data is logged to a separate
-%% text file as is, without any formatting. A link to the file is
-%% added to the test case HTML log.</dd>
+%% The `cth_conn_log' hook performs unformatted logging of telnet data to
+%% a separate text file. All telnet communication is captured and printed,
+%% including arbitrary data sent from the server. The link to this text file
+%% can be found on the top of the test case HTML log.

-%% directly in the test case HTML log.</dd>
-%%
-%% <dt>`silent'</dt>
-%% <dd>Telnet traffic is not logged.</dd>
-%% </dl>
-%%
-%% By default, all telnet traffic is logged in one single log
-%% file. However, it is possible to have different connections logged
-%% in separate files. To do this, use the hook option `hosts' and
-%% list the names of the servers/connections that will be used in the
-%% suite. Note that the connections must be named for this to work
+%% By default, data for all telnet connections is logged in one common
+%% file (named `default'), which might get messy e.g. if multiple telnet
+%% sessions are running in parallel. It is therefore possible to create a
+%% separate log file for each connection. To configure this, use the hook
+%% option `hosts' and list the names of the servers/connections that will be
+%% used in the suite. Note that the connections must be named for this to work
%% (see the `open' function below).
%%
-%% The `hosts' option has no effect if `log_type' is set to `html' or
-%% `silent'.
+%% The hook option named `log_type' may be used to change the `cth_conn_log'
+%% behaviour. The default value of this option is `raw', which results in the
+%% behaviour described above. If the value is set to `html', all telnet
+%% communication is printed to the test case HTML log instead.
%%
-%% The hook options can also be specified in a configuration file with
-%% the configuration variable `ct_conn_log':
+%% All `cth_conn_log' hook options described above can also be specified in
+%% a configuration file with the configuration variable `ct_conn_log'. Example:
%%
%% ```

- <title>Installation Procedure</title>
- <p>When installed, the entire system, except for a small start-up
- script, resides in a single directory tree. The location of this
- directory tree can be chosen arbitrarily by the installer, and it
- does not need to be in the user's <c>$PATH</c>. The only requirements
- are that the file system where it is placed has enough free space,
- and that the users who run Erlang/OTP have read access to it. In the
- example below, the directory tree is assumed to be located at
- <c>/usr/local/erlang</c>, which is here called the <em>top-level directory</em>.</p>
- <p>It is assumed that you have the compressed tar file, the name of
- which is <c><![CDATA[<PREFIX>.tar.gz]]></c>, where <c><![CDATA[<PREFIX>]]></c> is a string
- denoting the particular Erlang/OTP release, e.g.
- <c>otp_LXA_11930_sunos5_R9B</c>.</p>
- <p>Wherever the string <c><![CDATA[<PREFIX>]]></c> is used below, it should
- be replaced by the actual name prefix of the compressed tar file.</p>
- <p>The tape archive file does not have one single directory in which
- all other files are rooted. Therefore the tape archive file must be
- extracted into an empty (newly created) directory.</p>
- <list type="ordered">
- <item>
- <p>If the <em>top-level directory</em> does not already exist,
- create it:</p>
- <pre>
-mkdir /usr/local/erlang</pre>
- </item>
- <item>
- <p>Change the current directory to the <em>top level directory</em>:</p>
- <pre>
-cd /usr/local/erlang</pre>
- </item>
- <item>
- <p>Create the <em>installation directory</em> with an appropriate
- name. For example:</p>
- <pre>
-mkdir otp_r7b</pre>
- </item>
- <item>
- <p>Change to the <em>installation directory</em>, e.g.</p>
- <pre>
-cd otp_r7b</pre>
- </item>
- <item>
- <p>Assuming the compressed tar file resides in the directory
- <c><![CDATA[<SOME-DIR>]]></c>,. extract the compressed tar file into the
- current directory:</p>
- <pre>
-gunzip -c &lt;SOME-DIR&gt;/&lt;PREFIX&gt;.tar.gz | tar xfp -</pre>
- </item>
- <item>
- <p>Read the <c>README</c> file in the installation directory for
- last minute updates, before proceeding.</p>
- </item>
- <item>
- <p>Run the <c>Install</c> script in the installation directory,
- with the absolute path of the installation directory as argument,</p>
- <pre>
-./Install /usr/local/erlang/otp_r7b</pre>
- <p>and supply answers to the prompts.</p>
- <p>In most cases, there is a default answer in square brackets
- (<c>[]</c>). If the default is satisfactory, just press
- <c><![CDATA[<Return>]]></c>. In general you are only prompted for one thing:</p>

- <p>"Do you want to use a minimal system startup instead of the

-
- In a minimal system, only the Kernel and STDLIB applications

+ target system:
+ </p>
+ <pre>

+ <p>
+ Our new release, "SECOND", is now the current release, but we

+ <title>Introduction</title>
+ <p>
+ As of Erlang/OTP 17, most applications deliver a valid
+ application upgrade (<c>appup</c>) file. In earlier releases, a
+ majority of the applications in Erlang/OTP did not support
+ upgrade at all. Many of the applications use the
+ <c>restart_application</c> instruction. These are applications
+ for which it is not crucial to support real soft upgrade, for
+ instance tools and library applications. The
+ <c>restart_application</c> instruction
+ ensures that all modules in the application are reloaded and
+ thereby running the new code.
+ </p>
+ </section>
+
+ <section>
+ <title>Upgrade of core applications</title>
+ <p>
+ The core applications ERTS, Kernel, STDLIB
+ and SASL never allow real soft upgrade, but require the
+ Erlang emulator to be restarted. This is indicated to the
+ <c>release_handler</c> by the upgrade instruction
+ <c>restart_new_emulator</c>. This instruction will always be the
+ very first instruction executed, and it will restart the
+ emulator with the new versions of the above mentioned core
+ applications and the old versions of all other
+ applications. When the node is back up all other upgrade instructions are
+ executed, making sure each application is finally running its
+ new version.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ It might seem strange to do a two-step upgrade instead of
+ just restarting the emulator with the new version of all
+ applications. The reason for this design decision is to allow
+ <c>code_change</c> functions to have side effects, for example changing
+ data on disk. It also makes sure that the upgrade mechanism for
+ non-core applications does not differ depending on whether or not
+ core applications are changed at the same time.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ If, however, the more brutal variant is preferred, it is
+ possible to handwrite the release upgrade file using only the
+ single upgrade instruction <c>restart_emulator</c>. This
+ instruction, in contrast to <c>restart_new_emulator</c>, will
+ cause the emulator to restart with the new versions of
+ <em>all</em> applications.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ <em>Note</em> that if other instructions are included before
+ <c>restart_emulator</c> in the handwritten <c>relup</c> file,
+ they will be executed in the old emulator. This is a big risk
+ since there is no guarantee that new beam code can be loaded
+ into the old emulator. Adding instructions after
+ <c>restart_emulator</c> has no effect as the
+ <c>release_handler</c> will not do any attempt at executing
+ them.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ See <seealso marker="sasl:relup">relup(4)</seealso> for
+ information about the release upgrade file, and <seealso
+ marker="sasl:appup">appup(4)</seealso> for further information
+ about upgrade instructions.

+ <title>Applications that still do not allow code upgrade</title>
+ <p>
+ A few applications, for instance HiPE do not support
+ upgrade at all. This is indicated by an application upgrade file
+ containing only <c>{Vsn,[],[]}</c>. Any attempt at creating a release
+ upgrade file with such input will fail.
+ The only way to force an upgrade involving applications like this is to
+ handwrite the <c>relup</c> file, preferably as described above
+ with only the <c>restart_emulator</c> instruction.
