2010-06-03OTP-8666 Enable automatic binding of schedulers when possibleRickard Green
The runtime system will by default bind schedulers to logical processors using the default_bind bind type if the amount of schedulers are at least equal to the amount of logical processors configured, binding of schedulers is supported, and a CPU topology is available at startup. NOTE: If the Erlang runtime system is the only operating system process that binds threads to logical processors, this improves the performance of the runtime system. However, if other operating system processes (as for example another Erlang runtime system) also bind threads to logical processors, there might be a performance penalty instead. If this is the case you, are are advised to unbind the schedulers using the <seealso marker="erl#+sbt">+sbtu</seealso> command line argument, or by invoking <seealso marker="erlang#system_flag_scheduler_bind_type">erlang:system_flag(schedule r_bind_type, unbound)</seealso>.

Fix three minor typos and reorder one of a pair of lists of functions so that the ordering is consistent.
2010-02-02Add the +t emulator option to change the maximum number of atomsJulien Barbot
It is now possible to increase or decrease the maximum number of atoms the VM can handle. The default value is 1048576 (1024*1024).
2010-01-26OTP-8343 The documentation is now possible to build in an open sourceLars G Thorsen
environment after a number of bugs are fixed and some features are added in the documentation build process. - The arity calculation is updated. - The module prefix used in the function names for bif's are removed in the generated links so the links will look like http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#append_element-2 instead of http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#erlang:append_element-2 - Enhanced the menu positioning in the html documentation when a new page is loaded. - A number of corrections in the generation of man pages (thanks to Sergei Golovan) - Moved some man pages to more apropriate sections, pages in section 4 moved to 5 and pages in 6 moved to 7. - The legal notice is taken from the xml book file so OTP's build process can be used for non OTP applications.

* egil/binary-gc: Add documentation for binary heap size settings. Add tracing capabilities for binary virtual heap Add min heap size start options to beam and erl Improve binary garbage collection OTP-8370 The default settings for garbage collection of binaries has been adjusted to be less aggressive than in R13B03. It is now also possible configure the settings for binary GC. See the documentation for spawn_opt/2-5, erlang:system_info/1, erlang:system_flag/2, process_flag/2-3, erlang:trace/3, and the documenation for erl for the new command line options +hms and +hmbs.
