+ <p>A new logging API is added to Erlang/OTP, see the
+ <seealso
+ marker="kernel:logger"><c>logger(3)</c></seealso> manual
+ page, and section <seealso
+ marker="kernel:logger_chapter">Logging</seealso> in the
+ Kernel User's Guide.</p>
+ <p>Calls to <c>error_logger</c> are automatically
+ redirected to the new API, and legacy error logger event
+ handlers can still be used. It is, however, recommended
+ to use the Logger API directly when writing new code.</p>
+ <p>Notice the following potential incompatibilities:</p>
+ <list> <item><p>Kernel configuration parameters
+ <c>error_logger</c> still works, but is overruled if the
+ default handler's output destination is configured with
+ Kernel configuration parameter <c>logger</c>.</p> <p>In
+ general, parameters for configuring error logger are
+ overwritten by new parameters for configuring
+ Logger.</p></item> <item><p>The concept of SASL error
+ logging is deprecated, meaning that by default the SASL
+ application does not affect which log events are
+ logged.</p> <p>By default, supervisor reports and crash
+ reports are logged by the default Logger handler started
+ by Kernel, and end up at the same destination (terminal
+ or file) as other standard log event from Erlang/OTP.</p>
+ <p>Progress reports are not logged by default, but can be
+ enabled by setting the primary log level to info, for
+ example with the Kernel configuration parameter
+ <c>logger_level</c>.</p> <p>To obtain backwards
+ compatibility with the SASL error logging functionality
+ from earlier releases, set Kernel configuration parameter
+ <c>logger_sasl_compatible</c> to <c>true</c>. This
+ prevents the default Logger handler from logging any
+ supervisor-, crash-, or progress reports. Instead, SASL
+ adds a separate Logger handler during application start,
+ which takes care of these log events. The SASL
+ configuration parameters <c>sasl_error_logger</c> and
+ <c>sasl_errlog_type</c> specify the destination (terminal
+ or file) and severity level to log for these
+ events.</p></item></list>
+ <p>
+ Since Logger is new in Erlang/OTP 21.0, we do reserve the
+ right to introduce changes to the Logger API and
+ functionality in patches following this release. These
+ changes might or might not be backwards compatible with
+ the initial version.</p>

+ When creating the release tar file, systools now includes
+ sys.config.src if it exists in the
+ $ROOT/releases/&lt;vsn&gt;/ directory. This is to allow
+ adjustments, e.g. resolving environment variables, after
+ unpacking the release, but before installing it. This
+ functionality requires a custom tool which uses
+ sys.config.src as input and creates a correct sys.config
+ file.</p>

+ <title>Deprecated Error Logger Event Handlers and Configuration</title>
+ <p>In Erlang/OTP 21.0, a new API for logging was added. The
+ old <c>error_logger</c> event manager, and event handlers
+ running on this manager, still work, but they are not used
+ by default.</p>
+ <p>The error logger event handlers <c>sasl_report_tty_h</c>
+ and <c>sasl_report_file_h</c>, were earlier used for printing
+ the so called SASL reports, i.e. <em>supervisor
+ reports</em>, <em>crash reports</em>, and <em>progress
+ reports</em>. These reports are now also printed by the default
+ logger handler started by the Kernel application. Progress
+ reports are by default stopped by the primary log level, but can
+ be enabled by setting this level to <c>info</c>, for example by
+ using the Kernel configuration
+ parameter <seealso marker="kernel:kernel_app#logger_level">
+ <c>logger_level</c></seealso>.</p>
+ <p>If the old error logger event handlers are still desired, they
+ must be added by
+ calling <c>error_logger:add_report_handler/1,2</c>.</p>
