2014-10-20[sasl] Remove undocumented upgrade instructionSiri Hansen
The upgrade instruction 'remove_module' was added in OTP R7B (and possibly in a patch in R5B or R6B, ticket OTP-3477), and translates to the low level instruction 'remove', but adds the parameter DepMods (modules on which Mod is dependent). The ticket says that "remove_module should be added for symmetry with the add_module instruction". remove_module was never documented or tested, and it was never mentioned in a release note. It therefore seems to be low risk in removing it. The correct instruction to use when removing a module is {delete_module,Mod} which was added in OTP R10B and which is also documented and tested. This translates to low level instructions 'remove' and 'purge' i.e. the module is brutally purged after setting the current code to old. This hardcoded brutal purge is the reason why PrePurge and PostPurge parameters can not be given with the delete_module instruction. The parameter DepMods which was inclued in the remove_module instruction does not exist for delete_module. From the documentation's point of view, this is the same for add_module, and thus the two instructions {add_module,Mod} and {delete_module,Mod} are now symmetric. However, in the code there is a second instruction for adding a module, {add_module,Mod,DepMods}, which is not documented. To add symmetry even for this, {delete_module,Mod,DepMods} is now also added. Documentation is added for all instructions.
2014-03-28Add info about upgrade of core applicationsSiri Hansen
In ref man for appup and in system documentation, design prinsiples, add a warning related to upgrade when version of erts, kernel, stdlib or sasl is changed. This will cause an emulator restart where new version of emulator and core applications will startup together with old versions of other applications. Care must be taken to avoid problems due to backwards incompatibility.

2011-02-25Honor start type in .rel files when building relup filesPaul Guyot
Previously, relup file always included an application:start(Application, permanent) apply instruction for every application that appear in the UpTo/DowFrom release file, whatever their start type in the release file. The new implementation fixes this bug by honoring the start type according to the rel(5) format. If the start type is none, no apply line is included in the relup. If the start type is load, the relup includes instruction to only load the application. Otherwise, the relup includes an instruction to start the application to the according type. The fix is implemented by adding a new parameter to the add_application high level appup instruction. This new parameter is documented in appup(5).
