+ <p>Maps are a set of key to value associations. These associations

+ <code type="none">
+-define(is_channel(V), (is_float(V) andalso V &gt;= 0.0 andalso V =&lt; 1.0)).</code>
+ <p>
+ First we define a macro <c>is_channel</c> to help with our guard tests.
+ This is only here for convenience and to reduce syntax cluttering.
+
+ You can read more about <seealso marker="doc/reference_manual:macros">Macros</seealso>
+ in the Erlang Reference Manual.
+ </p>
+ <code type="none">
+new(R,G,B,A) when ?is_channel(R), ?is_channel(G),
+ ?is_channel(B), ?is_channel(A) ->
+ #{red =&gt; R, green =&gt; G, blue =&gt; B, alpha =&gt; A}.</code>
+ <p>
+ The function <c>new/4</c> creates a new map term with and lets the keys
+ <c>red</c>, <c>green</c>, <c>blue</c> and <c>alpha</c> be associated
+ with an initial value. In this case we only allow for float
+ values between and including 0.0 and 1.0 as ensured by the <c>?is_channel/1</c> macro
+ for each argument. Only the <c>=></c> operator is allowed when creating a new map.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ By calling <c>blend/2</c> on any color term created by <c>new/4</c> we can calculate
+ the resulting color as determined by the two maps terms.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The first thing <c>blend/2</c> does is to calculate the resulting alpha channel.
+ </p>
+ <code type="none">
+alpha(#{alpha := SA}, #{alpha := DA}) ->
+ SA + DA*(1.0 - SA).</code>
+ <p>
+ We fetch the value associated with key <c>alpha</c> for both arguments using
+ the <c>:=</c> operator. Any other keys
+ in the map are ignored, only the key <c>alpha</c> is required and checked for.
+ </p>
+ <p>This is also the case for functions <c>red/2</c>, <c>blue/2</c> and <c>green/2</c>.</p>
+ <code type="none">
+red(#{red := SV, alpha := SA}, #{red := DV, alpha := DA}) ->

+ <p>
+ The difference here is that we check for two keys in each map argument. The other keys
+ are ignored.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Finally we return the resulting color in <c>blend/3</c>.

+ <code type="none">

+ blue := blue(Src,Dst) / Alpha,
+ alpha := Alpha

+ <p>
+ We update the <c>Dst</c> map with new channel values. The syntax for updating an existing key with a new value is done with <c>:=</c> operator.

- <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

- with the absolute path of the installation directory as argument,</p>

-./Install /usr/local/erlang/otp_r7b</pre>

+ <p>The Erlang source file <marker

+ first string that matches the regular expression
+ <c>coding\s*[:=]\s*([-a-zA-Z0-9])+</c> selects the encoding. If
+ the matching string is not a valid encoding it is ignored. The
+ valid encodings are <c>Latin-1</c> and <c>UTF-8</c> where the
+ case of the characters can be chosen freely.</p>
+ <p>The following example selects UTF-8 as default encoding:</p>
+ <pre>
+%% coding: utf-8</pre>
+ <p>Two more examples, both selecting Latin-1 as default encoding:</p>
+ <pre>
+%% For this file we have chosen encoding = Latin-1</pre>
+ <pre>
+%% -*- coding: latin-1 -*-</pre>
+ <p>The default encoding for Erlang source files was changed from

+ <title>Creating Maps</title>
+ <p>
+ Constructing a new map is done by letting an expression <c>K</c> be associated with
+ another expression <c>V</c>:
+ </p>
+ <code>#{ K => V }</code>
+ <p>
+ New maps may include multiple associations at construction by listing every
+ association:
+ </p>
+ <code>#{ K1 => V1, .., Kn => Vn }</code>
+ <p>
+ An empty map is constructed by not associating any terms with each other:
+ </p>
+ <code>#{}</code>
+ <p>
+ All keys and values in the map are terms. Any expression is first evaluated and
+ then the resulting terms are used as <em>key</em> and <em>value</em> respectively.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Keys and values are separated by the <c>=></c> arrow and associations are
+ separated by <c>,</c>.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Examples:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+M0 = #{}, % empty map
+M1 = #{a => &lt;&lt;"hello"&gt;&gt;}, % single association with literals
+M2 = #{1 => 2, b => b}, % multiple associations with literals
+M3 = #{k => {A,B}}, % single association with variables
+M4 = #{{"w", 1} => f()}. % compound key associated with an evaluated expression</code>
+ <p>
+ where, <c>A</c> and <c>B</c> are any expressions and <c>M0</c> through <c>M4</c>
+ are the resulting map terms.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ If two matching keys are declared, the latter key will take precedence.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Example:
+ </p>
+
+<pre>
+1> <input>#{1 => a, 1 => b}.</input>
+#{1 => b }
+2> <input>#{1.0 => a, 1 => b}.</input>
+#{1 => b, 1.0 => a}
+</pre>
+ <p>
+ The order in which the expressions constructing the keys and their
+ associated values are evaluated is not defined. The syntactic order of
+ the key-value pairs in the construction is of no relevance, except in
+ the above mentioned case of two matching keys.
+ </p>
+ </section>
+
+ <section>
+ <title>Updating Maps</title>
+ <p>
+ Updating a map has similar syntax as constructing it.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ An expression defining the map to be updated is put in front of the expression
+ defining the keys to be updated and their respective values.
+ </p>
+ <code>M#{ K => V }</code>
+ <p>
+ where <c>M</c> is a term of type map and <c>K</c> and <c>V</c> are any expression.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ If key <c>K</c> does not match any existing key in the map, a new association
+ will be created from key <c>K</c> to value <c>V</c>. If key <c>K</c> matches
+ an existing key in map <c>M</c> its associated value will be replaced by the
+ new value <c>V</c>. In both cases the evaluated map expression will return a new map.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ If <c>M</c> is not of type map an exception of type <c>badmap</c> is thrown.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ To only update an existing value, the following syntax is used,
+ </p>
+ <code>M#{ K := V } </code>
+ <p>
+ where <c>M</c> is an term of type map, <c>V</c> is an expression and <c>K</c>
+ is an expression which evaluates to an existing key in <c>M</c>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ If key <c>K</c> does not match any existing keys in map <c>M</c> an exception
+ of type <c>badarg</c> will be triggered at runtime. If a matching key <c>K</c>
+ is present in map <c>M</c> its associated value will be replaced by the new
+ value <c>V</c> and the evaluated map expression returns a new map.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ If <c>M</c> is not of type map an exception of type <c>badmap</c> is thrown.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Examples:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+M0 = #{},
+M1 = M0#{a => 0},
+M2 = M1#{a => 1, b => 2},
+M3 = M2#{"function" => fun() -> f() end},
+M4 = M3#{a := 2, b := 3}. % 'a' and 'b' was added in `M1` and `M2`.</code>
+ <p>
+ where <c>M0</c> is any map. It follows that <c>M1 .. M4</c> are maps as well.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ More Examples:
+ </p>
+<pre>
+1> <input>M = #{1 => a}.</input>
+#{1 => a }
+2> <input>M#{1.0 => b}.</input>
+#{1 => a, 1.0 => b}.
+3> <input>M#{1 := b}.</input>
+#{1 => b}
+4> <input>M#{1.0 := b}.</input>
+** exception error: bad argument
+</pre>
+ <p>
+ As in construction, the order in which the key and value expressions
+ are evaluated is not defined. The
+ syntactic order of the key-value pairs in the update is of no
+ relevance, except in the case where two keys match, in which
+ case the latter value is used.
+ </p>
+ </section>
+
+ <section>
+ <title>Maps in Patterns</title>
+ <p>
+ Matching of key-value associations from maps is done in the following way:
+ </p>
+
+ <code>#{ K := V } = M</code>
+ <p>
+ where <c>M</c> is any map. The key <c>K</c> has to be an expression with bound
+ variables or a literals, and <c>V</c> can be any pattern with either bound or
+ unbound variables.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ If the variable <c>V</c> is unbound, it will be bound to the value associated
+ with the key <c>K</c>, which has to exist in the map <c>M</c>. If the variable
+ <c>V</c> is bound, it has to match the value associated with <c>K</c> in <c>M</c>.
+ </p>
+ <p> Example: </p>
+<code>
+1> <input>M = #{"tuple" => {1,2}}.</input>
+#{"tuple" => {1,2}}
+2> <input>#{"tuple" := {1,B}} = M.</input>
+#{"tuple" => {1,2}}
+3> <input>B.</input>
+2.</code>
+ <p>

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

+ <section>
+ <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.
+ </p>
+ </section>
+
+ <section>
+ <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.

+ <section><title>OTP Version</title>
+ <p>As of OTP release 17, the OTP release number corresponds to
+ the major part of the OTP version. The OTP version as a concept was
+ introduced in OTP 17. The <seealso marker="#version_scheme">version
+ scheme</seealso> used is described in more detail below.</p>
+
+ <p>OTP of a specific version is a set of applications of specific
+ versions. The application versions identified by an OTP version
+ corresponds to application versions that have been tested together
+ by the Erlang/OTP team at Ericsson AB. An OTP system can however be
+ put together with applications from different OTP versions. Such a
+ combination of application versions has not been tested by the
+ Erlang/OTP team. It is therefore <em>always preferred to use OTP
+ applications from one single OTP version</em>.</p>
+
+ <p>Release candidates have an <c>-rc&lt;N&gt;</c>
+ suffix. The suffix <c>-rc0</c> will be used during development up to
+ the first release candidate.</p>
+
+ <section><title>Retrieving Current OTP Version</title>
+ <p>In an OTP source code tree, the OTP version can be read from
+ the text file <c>&lt;OTP source root&gt;/OTP_VERSION</c>. The
+ absolute path to the file can be constructed by calling
+ <c>filename:join([<seealso marker="kernel:code#root_dir/0">code:root_dir()</seealso>, "OTP_VERSION"])</c>.</p>
+ <p>In an installed OTP development system, the OTP version can be read
+ from the text file <c>&lt;OTP installation root&gt;/releases/&lt;OTP release number&gt;/OTP_VERSION</c>.
+ The absolute path to the file can by constructed by calling
+ <c>filename:join([<seealso marker="kernel:code#root_dir/0">code:root_dir()</seealso>, "releases", <seealso marker="erts:erlang#system_info_otp_release">erlang:system_info(otp_release)</seealso>, "OTP_VERSION"]).</c></p>
+ <p>If the version read from the <c>OTP_VERSION</c> file in a
+ development system has a <c>**</c> suffix, the system has been
+ patched using the <c>otp_patch_apply</c> tool available to
+ licensed customers. In this case, the system consists of application
+ versions from multiple OTP versions. The version preceding the <c>**</c>
+ suffix corresponds to the OTP version of the base system that
+ has been patched. Note that if a development system is updated by
+ other means than <c>otp_patch_apply</c>, the <c>OTP_VERSION</c> file
+ may identify wrong OTP version.</p>
+
+ <p>No <c>OTP_VERSION</c> file will be placed in a
+ <seealso marker="create_target">target system</seealso> created
+ by OTP tools. This since one easily can create a target system
+ where it is hard to even determine the base OTP version. You may,
+ however, place such a file there yourself if you know the OTP
+ version.</p>
+ </section>
+
+ <section><title>OTP Versions Table</title>
+ <p>The text file <c>&lt;OTP source root&gt;/otp_versions.table</c> that
+ is part of the source code contains information about all OTP versions
+ from OTP 17.0 up to current OTP version. Each line contains information
+ about application versions that are part of a specific OTP version, and
+ is on the format:</p>
+<pre>
+&lt;OtpVersion&gt; : &lt;ChangedAppVersions&gt; # &lt;UnchangedAppVersions&gt; :
+</pre>
+ <p><c>&lt;OtpVersion&gt;</c> is on the format <c>OTP-&lt;VSN&gt;</c>, i.e.,
+ the same as the git tag used to identify the source.
+ <c>&lt;ChangedAppVersions&gt;</c> and <c>&lt;UnchangedAppVersions&gt;</c>
+ are space separated lists of application versions on the
+ format <c>&lt;application&gt;-&lt;vsn&gt;</c>.
+ <c>&lt;ChangedAppVersions&gt;</c> corresponds to changed applications
+ with new version numbers in this OTP version, and
+ <c>&lt;UnchangedAppVersions&gt;</c> corresponds to unchanged application
+ versions in this OTP version. Both of them might be empty, although
+ not at the same time. If &lt;ChangedAppVersions&gt; is empty, no changes
+ has been made that change the build result of any application. This could
+ for example be a pure bug fix of the build system. The order of lines
+ is undefined. All white space characters in this file are either space
+ (character 32) or line-break (character 10).</p>
+ <p>Using ordinary UNIX tools like <c>sed</c> and <c>grep</c> one
+ can easily find answers to various questions like:</p>
+ <taglist>
+ <tag>Which OTP versions are <c>kernel-3.0</c> part of?</tag>
+ <item><p><c> $ grep ' kernel-3\.0 ' otp_versions.table</c></p></item>
+ <tag>In which OTP version was <c>kernel-3.0</c> introduced?</tag>
+ <item><p><c> $ sed 's/#.*//;/ kernel-3\.0 /!d' otp_versions.table</c></p></item>
+ </taglist>
+ <p>The above commands give a bit more information than the exact answers,
+ but adequate information when manually searching for answers to these
+ questions.</p>
+ <warning><p>The format of the <c>otp_versions.table</c> might be subject
+ to changes during the OTP 17 release.</p></warning>
+ </section>
+ </section>
+
+ <section><title>Application Version</title>
+ <p>As of OTP 17.0 application versions will use the same
+ <seealso marker="#version_scheme">version scheme</seealso> as the
+ OTP version. Application versions part of a release candidate will
+ however not have an <c>-rc&lt;N&gt;</c> suffix as the OTP version.
+ Also note that a major increment in an application version does not
+ necessarily imply a major increment of the OTP version. This depends
+ on whether the major change in the application is considered as a
+ major change for OTP as a whole or not.</p>
+ </section>
+
+ <marker id="version_scheme"/>
+ <section><title>Version Scheme</title>
+ <note>Note that the version scheme was changed as of OTP 17.0. This implies
+ that application versions used prior to OTP 17.0 do not adhere to this
+ version scheme. <seealso marker="#otp_17_0_app_versions">A list of
+ application versions used in OTP 17.0</seealso> can be found
+ at the end of this document.</note>
+
+ <p>In the normal case, a version will be constructed as
+ <c>&lt;Major&gt;.&lt;Minor&gt;.&lt;Patch&gt;</c> where <c>&lt;Major&gt;</c>
+ is the most significant part. However, more dot separated parts than
+ this may exist. The dot separated parts consists of non-negative integers.
+ If all parts less significant than <c>&lt;Minor&gt;</c> equals <c>0</c>,
+ they are omitted. The three normal parts
+ <c>&lt;Major&gt;.&lt;Minor&gt;.&lt;Patch&gt;</c> will be changed as
+ follows:</p>
+ <taglist>
+ <tag><c>&lt;Major&gt;</c></tag><item>Increased when major changes,
+ including incompatibilities, have been made.</item>
+ <tag><c>&lt;Minor&gt;</c></tag><item>Increased when new functionality
+ has been added.</item>
+ <tag><c>&lt;Patch&gt;</c></tag><item>Increased when pure bug fixes
+ have been made.</item>
+ </taglist>
+ <p>When a part in the version number is increased, all less significant
+ parts are set to <c>0</c>.</p>
+
+ <p>An application version or an OTP version identifies source code
+ versions. That is, it does not imply anything about how the application
+ or OTP has been built.</p>
+
+ <section><title>Order of Versions</title>
+ <p>Version numbers in general are only partially ordered. However,
+ normal version numbers (with three parts) as of OTP 17.0 have a total
+ or linear order. This applies both to normal OTP versions and
+ normal application versions.</p>
+
+ <p>When comparing two version numbers that have an order, one
+ compare each part as ordinary integers from the most
+ significant part towards less significant parts. The order is
+ defined by the first parts of the same significance that
+ differ. An OTP version with a larger version include all
+ changes that that are part of a smaller OTP version. The same
+ goes for application versions.</p>
+
+ <p>In the general case, versions may have more than three parts. In
+ this case the versions are only partially ordered. Note that such
+ versions are only used in exceptional cases. When an extra
+ part (out of the normal three parts) is added to a version number,
+ a new branch of versions is made. The new branch has a linear
+ order against the base version. However, versions on different
+ branches have no order. Since they have no order, we
+ only know that they all include what is included in their
+ closest common ancestor. When branching multiple times from the
+ same base version, <c>0</c> parts are added between the base
+ version and the least significant <c>1</c> part until a unique
+ version is found. Versions that have an order can be compared
+ as described in the paragraph above.</p>
+
+ <p>An example of branched versions: The version <c>6.0.2.1</c>
+ is a branched version from the base version <c>6.0.2</c>.
+ Versions on the form <c>6.0.2.&lt;X&gt;</c> can be compared
+ with normal versions smaller than or equal to <c>6.0.2</c>,
+ and other versions on the form <c>6.0.2.&lt;X&gt;</c>. The
+ version <c>6.0.2.1</c> will include all changes in
+ <c>6.0.2</c>. However, <c>6.0.3</c> will most likely
+ <em>not</em> include all changes in <c>6.0.2.1</c> (note that
+ these versions have no order). A second branched version from the base
+ version <c>6.0.2</c> will be version <c>6.0.2.0.1</c>, and a
+ third branched version will be <c>6.0.2.0.0.1</c>.</p>

+ <p>The following application versions were part of OTP 17.0. If
+ the normal part of an applications version number compares
