- <p>The Erlang VM supports file names in Unicode to a limited
- extent. Depending on how the VM is started (with the parameter
- <c>+fnu</c> or <c>+fnl</c>), file names given can contain
- characters > 255 and the VM system will convert file names
- back and forth to the native file name encoding.</p>
+ <p>With regard to file name encoding, the Erlang VM can operate in
+ two modes. The current mode can be queried using the <seealso
+ marker="#native_name_encoding">native_name_encoding/0</seealso>
+ function. It returns either <c>latin1</c> or <c>utf8</c>.</p>
- <p>The default behavior for Unicode character translation depends
- on to what extent the underlying OS/filesystem enforces consistent
- naming. On OSes where all file names are ensured to be in one or
- another encoding, Unicode is the default (currently this holds for
- Windows and MacOSX). On OSes with completely transparent file
- naming (i.e. all Unixes except MacOSX), ISO-latin-1 file naming is
- the default. The reason for the ISO-latin-1 default is that
- file names are not guaranteed to be possible to interpret according to
- the Unicode encoding expected (i.e. UTF-8), and file names that
- cannot be decoded will only be accessible by using &quot;raw
- file names&quot;, in other word file names given as binaries.</p>
-
- <p>As file names are traditionally not binaries in Erlang,
- applications that need to handle raw file names need to be
- converted, why the Unicode mode for file names is not default on
- systems having completely transparent file naming.</p>
+ <p>In the <c>latin1</c> mode, the Erlang VM does not change the
+ encoding of file names. In the <c>utf8</c> mode, file names can
+ contain Unicode characters greater than 255 and the VM will
+ convert file names back and forth to the native file name encoding
+ (usually UTF-8, but UTF-16 on Windows).</p>
+
+ <p>The default mode depends on the operating system. Windows and
+ MacOS X enforce consistent file name encoding and therefore the
+ VM uses the <c>utf8</c> mode.</p>
+
+ <p>On operating systems with transparent naming (i.e. all Unix
+ systems except MacOS X), the default will be <c>utf8</c> if the
+ terminal supports UTF-8, otherwise <c>latin1</c>. The default may
+ be overridden using the <c>+fnl</c> (to force <c>latin1</c> mode)
+ or <c>+fnu</c> (to force <c>utf8</c> mode) when starting <seealso
+ marker="erts:erl">erl</seealso>.</p>
+
+ <p>On operating systems with transparent naming, files could be
+ inconsistently named, i.e. some files are encoded in UTF-8 while
+ others are encoded in (for example) iso-latin1. To be able to
+ handle file systems with inconsistent naming when running in the
+ <c>utf8</c> mode, the concept of "raw file names" has been
+ introduced.</p>
- <p>Raw file names is a new feature in OTP R14B01, which allows the
- user to supply completely uninterpreted file names to the
- underlying OS/filesystem. They are supplied as binaries, where it
- is up to the user to supply a correct encoding for the
- environment. The function <c>file:native_name_encoding()</c> can
- be used to check what encoding the VM is working in. If the
- function returns <c>latin1</c> file names are not in any way
- converted to Unicode, if it is <c>utf8</c>, raw file names should
- be encoded as UTF-8 if they are to follow the convention of the VM
- (and usually the convention of the OS as well). Using raw
- file names is useful if you have a filesystem with inconsistent
- file naming, where some files are named in UTF-8 encoding while
- others are not. A file:list_dir on such mixed file name systems
- when the VM is in Unicode file name mode might return file names as
- raw binaries as they cannot be interpreted as Unicode
- file names. Raw file names can also be used to give UTF-8 encoded
- file names even though the VM is not started in Unicode file name
- translation mode.</p>
+ <p>A raw file name is a file name given as a binary. The Erlang VM
+ will perform no translation of a file name given as a binary on
+ systems with transparent naming.</p>
+
+ <p>When running in the <c>utf8</c> mode, the
+ <c>file:list_dir/1</c> and <c>file:read_link/1</c> functions will
+ never return raw file names. Use the <seealso
+ marker="#list_dir_all">list_dir_all/1</seealso> and <seealso
+ marker="#read_link_all">read_link_all/1</seealso> functions to
+ return all file names including raw file names.</p>
+
+ <p>Also see <seealso marker="stdlib:unicode_usage#notes-about-raw-filenames">Notes about raw file names</seealso>.</p>
- <p>Note that on Windows, <c>file:native_name_encoding()</c>
- returns <c>utf8</c> per default, which is the format for raw
- file names even on Windows, although the underlying OS specific
- code works in a limited version of little endian UTF16. As far as
- the Erlang programmer is concerned, Windows native Unicode format
- is UTF-8...</p>

+ The internal group to user_drv protocol has been changed

+ to a process implementing the user_drv protocol is
+ printed before replying. This protocol is used by the
+ standard_output device and the ssh application when

+ <p>
+ gen_tcp:shutdown/2 is now asynchronous</p>
+ <p>
+ This solves the following problems with the old
+ implementation:</p>
+ <p>
+ It doesn't block when the TCP peer is idle or slow. This
+ is the expected behaviour when shutdown() is called: the
+ caller needs to be able to continue reading from the
+ socket, not be prevented from doing so.</p>
+ <p>
+ It doesn't truncate the output. The current version of
+ gen_tcp:shutdown/2 will truncate any outbound data in the
+ driver queue after about 10 seconds if the TCP peer is
+ idle of slow. Worse yet, it doesn't even inform anyone
+ that the data has been truncated: 'ok' is returned to the
+ caller; and a FIN rather than an RST is sent to the TCP
+ peer.</p>

+ There are many cases where user code needs to be able to

+ {show_econnreset, true} enables the user to receive

+ The spec for file:set_cwd/1 is modified to also accept
+ binaries as arguments. This has always been allowed in
+ the code, but it was not reflected in the spec since
+ binaries are mostly used for raw file names. Raw file
+ names are names that are not encoded according to
+ file:native_name_encoding(), and these are not allowed in
+ file:set_cwd/1. The spec is now, however, more allowing
+ in order to avoid unnecessary dialyzer warnings. Raw file
+ names will still fail in runtime with reason
+ 'no_translation'. (Thanks to José Valim)</p>

+ Erlang/OTP has been ported to the realtime operating
+ system OSE. The port supports both smp and non-smp
+ emulator. For details around the port and how to started
+ see the User's Guide in the <seealso
+ marker="ose:ose_intro">ose</seealso> application. </p>
+ <p>
+ Note that not all parts of Erlang/OTP has been ported. </p>
+ <p>
+ Notable things that work are: non-smp and smp emulators,
+ OSE signal interaction, crypto, asn1, run_erl/to_erl,
+ tcp, epmd, distribution and most if not all non-os
+ specific functionality of Erlang.</p>
+ <p>
+ Notable things that does not work are: udp/sctp, os_mon,
+ erl_interface, binding of schedulers.</p>
+ <p>

+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Add the {active,N} socket option for TCP, UDP, and SCTP,
+ where N is an integer in the range -32768..32767, to
+ allow a caller to specify the number of data messages to
+ be delivered to the controlling process. Once the
+ socket's delivered message count either reaches 0 or is
+ explicitly set to 0 with inet:setopts/2 or by including
+ {active,0} as an option when the socket is created, the
+ socket transitions to passive ({active, false}) mode and
+ the socket's controlling process receives a message to
+ inform it of the transition. TCP sockets receive
+ {tcp_passive,Socket}, UDP sockets receive
+ {udp_passive,Socket} and SCTP sockets receive
+ {sctp_passive,Socket}. </p>
+ <p>
+ The socket's delivered message counter defaults to 0, but
+ it can be set using {active,N} via any gen_tcp, gen_udp,
+ or gen_sctp function that takes socket options as
+ arguments, or via inet:setopts/2. New N values are added
+ to the socket's current counter value, and negative
+ numbers can be used to reduce the counter value.
+ Specifying a number that would cause the socket's counter
+ value to go above 32767 causes an einval error. If a
+ negative number is specified such that the counter value
+ would become negative, the socket's counter value is set
+ to 0 and the socket transitions to passive mode. If the
+ counter value is already 0 and inet:setopts(Socket,
+ [{active,0}]) is specified, the counter value remains at
+ 0 but the appropriate passive mode transition message is
+ generated for the socket.</p>

+ <p>
+ A call to either the <c>garbage_collect/1</c> BIF or the
+ <c>check_process_code/2</c> BIF may trigger garbage
+ collection of another processes than the process calling
+ the BIF. The previous implementations performed these
+ kinds of garbage collections without considering the
+ internal state of the process being garbage collected. In
+ order to be able to more easily and more efficiently
+ implement yielding native code, these types of garbage
+ collections have been rewritten. A garbage collection
+ like this is now triggered by an asynchronous request
+ signal, the actual garbage collection is performed by the
+ process being garbage collected itself, and finalized by
+ a reply signal to the process issuing the request. Using
+ this approach processes can disable garbage collection
+ and yield without having to set up the heap in a state
+ that can be garbage collected.</p>
+ <p>
+ The <seealso
+ marker="erts:erlang#garbage_collect/2"><c>garbage_collect/2</c></seealso>,
+ and <seealso
+ marker="erts:erlang#check_process_code/3"><c>check_process_code/3</c></seealso>
+ BIFs have been introduced. Both taking an option list as
+ last argument. Using these, one can issue asynchronous
+ requests.</p>
+ <p>
+ <c>code:purge/1</c> and <c>code:soft_purge/1</c> have
+ been rewritten to utilize asynchronous
+ <c>check_process_code</c> requests in order to
+ parallelize work.</p>
+ <p>
+ Characteristics impact: A call to the
+ <c>garbage_collect/1</c> BIF or the
+ <c>check_process_code/2</c> BIF will normally take longer
+ time to complete while the system as a whole wont be as
+ much negatively effected by the operation as before. A
+ call to <c>code:purge/1</c> and <c>code:soft_purge/1</c>
+ may complete faster or slower depending on the state of
+ the system while the system as a whole wont be as much
+ negatively effected by the operation as before.</p>

+ <p>
+ Add sync option to file:open/2.</p>
+ <p>
+ The sync option adds the POSIX O_SYNC flag to the open
+ system call on platforms that support the flag or its
+ equivalent, e.g., FILE_FLAG_WRITE_THROUGH on Windows. For
+ platforms that don't support it, file:open/2 returns
+ {error, enotsup} if the sync option is passed in. Thank
+ to Steve Vinoski and Joseph Blomstedt</p>

- <p>Returns a tuple in the same format as <seealso marker="erts:erlang#now/0">erlang:now/0</seealso>. The difference is that this function returns what the operating system thinks (a.k.a. the wall clock time) without any attempts at time correction. The result of two different calls to this function is <em>not</em> guaranteed to be different.</p>
- <p>The most obvious use for this function is logging. The tuple can be used together with the function <seealso marker="stdlib:calendar#now_to_universal_time/1">calendar:now_to_universal_time/1</seealso>
-or <seealso marker="stdlib:calendar#now_to_local_time/1">calendar:now_to_local_time/1</seealso> to get calendar time. Using the calendar time together with the <c>MicroSecs</c> part of the return tuple from this function allows you to log timestamps in high resolution and consistent with the time in the rest of the operating system.</p>
- <p>Example of code formatting a string in the format &quot;DD Mon YYYY HH:MM:SS.mmmmmm&quot;, where DD is the day of month, Mon is the textual month name, YYYY is the year, HH:MM:SS is the time and mmmmmm is the microseconds in six positions:</p>
