+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Fix performance bug in pre-allocators that could cause
+ them to permanently fall back on normal more expensive
+ memory allocation. Pre-allocators are used for quick
+ allocation of short lived meta data used by messages and
+ other scheduled tasks. Bug exists since OTP_R15B02.</p>

+ <item>
+ <p>Fixed a bug that prevented TCP sockets from being
+ closed properly on send timeouts.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-14509</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Fixed bug in operator <c>bxor</c> causing erroneuos
+ result when one operand is a big <em>negative</em>
+ integer with the lowest <c>N*W</c> bits as zero and the
+ other operand not larger than <c>N*W</c> bits. <c>N</c>
+ is an integer of 1 or larger and <c>W</c> is 32 or 64
+ depending on word size.</p>

+ Fixed a bug in gen_tcp:send where it never returned when
+ repeatedly called on a remotely closed TCP socket.</p>

+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Fixed segfault that could happen during cleanup of
+ aborted erlang:port_command/3 calls. A port_command is
+ aborted if the port is closed at the same time as the
+ port_command was issued. This bug was introduced in
+ erts-8.0.</p>

+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Fixed implementation of <c>statistics(wall_clock)</c> and
+ <c>statistics(runtime)</c> so that values do not
+ unnecessarily wrap due to the emulator. Note that the
+ values returned by <c>statistics(runtime)</c> may still
+ wrap due to limitations in the underlying functionality
+ provided by the operating system.</p>

+<section><title>Erts 8.3.4</title>
+
+ <section><title>Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</title>
+ <list>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Add option to make SIGTERM trigger the OS default
+ behaviour instead of doing a gracefull shutdown. To
+ activate this bahviour the environment variable
+ ERL_ZZ_SIGTERM_KILL should be set to "true". This option
+ only works in OTP 19 as OTP 20 will have a different way
+ to deal with SIGTERM.</p>

+ Fixed memory segment cache used for multiblock carriers.
+ Huge (> 2GB) memory segments could cause a VM crash.
+ Creation of such huge memory segments used for multiblock
+ carriers is however very uncommon.</p>

+ The <c>+Bi</c> command line argument of <c>erl</c>
+ erroneously caused <c>SIGTERM</c> to be ignored by the VM
+ as well as of all its child processes. This bug was
+ introduced in erts version 8.3.</p>

+ Invoking <c>init:stop/0</c> via the SIGTERM signal, in a
+ non-SMP BEAM, could cause BEAM to terminate with fatal
+ error. This has now been fixed and the BEAM will
+ terminate normally when SIGTERM is received.</p>
