+ During upgrade, the release_handler collects a list of
+ supervisor pids in order to list all processes in the
+ supervisor tree. If one of the supervisors (legitimately)
+ exits before release_handler can examine it, then
+ <c>sys:get_status/1</c> would earlier be called with a
+ dead pid, causing a <c>'noproc'</c> error. This has been
+ corrected.</p>

+ <p>A mechanism for limiting the amount of text that the
+ built-in error logger events will produce has been
+ introduced. It is useful for limiting both the size of
+ log files and the CPU time used to produce them.</p>
+ <p>This mechanism is experimental in the sense that it
+ may be changed if it turns out that it does not solve the
+ problem it is supposed to solve. In that case, there may
+ be backward incompatible improvements to this
+ mechanism.</p>
+ <p>See the documentation for the config parameter
+ <c>error_logger_format_depth</c> in the Kernel
+ application for information about how to turn on this
+ feature.</p>

+ The undocumented upgrade instruction
+ <c>{remove_module,PrePurge,PostPurge,DepMods}</c> is
+ removed. This instruction was added for symmetry reasons
+ in OTP R7B, but was never documented or tested.</p>
+ <p>
+ The existing instruction <c>{add_module,Mod,DepMods}</c>
+ is now documented, and the complementing instruction
+ <c>{delete_module,Mod,DepMods}</c> is added.</p>

+ The documentation erroneously specified that

+ <em>all</em> alarms with id <c>AlarmId</c>. This is now
+ corrected according to the implementation - only the
+ latest received alarm with the given <c>AlarmId</c> is

+ The upgrade instruction 'restart_application' would
+ earlier ignore the restart type configured in the .rel
+ file and always restart the application as permanent.
+ This is now changed, and the restart type from the .rel
+ file is used. If restart type is 'load', the application
+ will only be loaded and not started. If the restart type
+ is 'none', the application will not be loaded nor
+ started, but all modules in the application will be
+ loaded. (Thanks to Tobias Schlager for reporting this
+ problem)</p>

+ A bug in the mechanism for upgrading core parts of

+ switch of paths between stdlib and sasl in the

+ along with this upgrade mechanism in R15B. It has now
