2017-10-11Don't allow null chars in various stringsRickard Green
Various places that now reject null chars inside strings - Primitive file operations reject it in filenames. - Primitive environment variable operations reject it in names and values. - os:cmd() reject it in its input. Also '=' characters are rejected by primitive environment variable operations in environment variable names. Documentation has been updated to document null characters in these types of data as invalid. Currently these operations accept null chars at the end of strings, but that will change in the future.

2017-04-24New unicode aware string module that works with unicode:chardata()Dan Gudmundsson
Works with unicode:chardata() as input as was decided on OTP board meeting as response to EEP-35 a long time ago. Works on graphemes clusters as base, with a few exceptions, does not handle classic (nor nfd'ified) Hangul nor the extended grapheme clusters such as the prepend class. That would make handling binaries as input/output very slow. List input => list output, binary input => binary output and mixed input => mixed output for all find/split functions. So that results can be post-processed without the need to invoke unicode:characters_to_list|binary for intermediate data. pad functions return lists of unicode:chardata() for performance.

There was once a plan to implement support for unicode atoms in OTP 18. This plan has been stopped until further notice, and the information about this is now removed from the documentation.

Expect modifications, additions and corrections. There is a kludge in file_io_server and erl_scan:continuation_location() that's not so pleasing.

The documentation (*.xml) in the otp tree has a common grammatical problem, "it's" and "its" are often interchanged. That is annoying for some readers. This commit consists entirely of "it's" -> "its" changes. I went through every .xml file in the tree. If there are any remaining bugs of this type, it's because I missed them, not because I didn't look.

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.
