2014-02-11Allow persistent option on set_env/4 and unset_env/3José Valim
An environment key set with the persistent option will not be overridden by the ones configured in the application resource file on load. This means persistent values will stick after the application is loaded and also on application reload.

2013-08-20kernel: fix documentation regarding ensure_all_started endtagFredrik Gustafsson
2013-07-11Add application:ensure_all_started/1-2Fred Hebert
This adds two new functions to the application module that will recursively look for missing dependencies to start the entire dependency chain of a given application, and then the application itself, if possible. Its entire behavior is based on the currently existing 'start/1-2' functions, which will report dependencies that have not yet been started and other problems encountered. 'ensure_all_started/1-2' will use this information the way any programmer would manually do it to automate the process. This kind of functionality, while not OTP-ish (releases do this start sequence for the user), is still useful for testing purposes, quick demonstrations, and programmers who do not wish or know how to use OTP releases. The function returns '{ok, StartedApps}' for all started or already started applications (already started are omitted from the list), and will return '{error, {AppName, Reason}}' on a failure to allow users to rapidly know why the function failed. Note that no specific check is made for direct or indirect circular dependencies between applications, and these will make the function go in an infinite loop.
