Fix typos or minor faults. Move out code listing of target_system.erl, and use codeinclude statement to include this file from sasl/examples directory.
2011-11-23Fix release_handler:upgrade_app and downgrade_app when upgrading emulatorSiri Hansen
Changes to the mechanism for upgrading the emulator in OTP R15 was erronously not handled in release_handler:upgrade_app, downgrade_app, upgrade_script and downgrade_script. This has been corrected, including test and documentation.

2011-11-17Handle upgrade from pre R15 to post R15 saslSiri Hansen
New emulator upgrade mechanism introduced in R15 can only work if the sasl version to upgrade from is 2.2 or later. I.e. if we are already running at least R15. This commit adds backwards compatiblity for upgrades from earlier versions, meaning that the new code is loaded into the old emulator and code_change is executed - then after all application code is updated, the emulator is restarted with the new erts version. Note that this might cause problems if the new code is compiled with the new emulator and there have been updates to the beam format. If this happens, the workaround is to compile the new code with the old emulator.

2011-10-20Add release_handler:which_releases/1joewilliams
This is an extension to which_releases that allows a user to specify the status of the releases they wish to be returned. For instance it allows for quickly determining which release is 'permanent' without the need of parsing the entire release list.
2011-09-02Add option purge to release_handler:check_install_releaseSiri Hansen
Given this option, all modules that are to be purged by indicated upgrade,and that can be soft purged, will be purged when all other check of check_install_release have been successfully completed. I added a note under install_release in the reference manual about how to use check_install_release with this new option in order to speed up the execution of install_release. I also added three more test cases for this functionality.
2011-08-30Improve performance of upgrade when many processes have old codeSiri Hansen
This commit utilizes the new bif erlang:check_old_code/1 to check if a module has old code in the system or not before running erlang:check_process_code/2. This is to optimize release_handler:install_release (and release_handler:check_install_release). A new test is added which checks that after traversing all processes/modules once and purging all old code, the second run through this part of the code is "sufficiently" much faster. A note is also added in the reference manual for release_handler:install_release about how to go around the efficiency problem of this function.
