2014-11-18erl_tar: Extend api to define own storage media access functions.Hans Nilsson
The reason for this is a requirement on enabling ssh_sftp to write a tar file on the server. This new api function is used by ssh_sftp:open_tar/3,4.
2014-11-11Remove comments about unicode atoms in OTP 18Siri Hansen
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.

2014-09-19Optimise io requests for long message queuesMagnus Henoch
Ensure that the monitor reference is present in all receive clauses, so that the compiler optimisation kicks in and the run time won't depend on the length of the message queue of the calling process. Remove the 'EXIT' clause, as its presence breaks the optimisation, and that case is handled by the 'DOWN' clause anyway. The test io_SUITE:io_with_huge_message_queue is an adaptation of gen_server_SUITE:call_with_huge_message_queue.
2014-09-18Add note about adjacent separator characters in string:tokens/2Siri Hansen
Adjacent separator characters are treated as one in string:tokens/2. This was shown in the example in the reference manual but it was not written in words. A note about this is now added.

The argument FormFunc is sys:handle_debug/4war erronously specified as dbg_fun(), which is a debug function. This has now been corrected by adding a new type, format_fun().

2014-03-25stdlib: Generalize erl_parse:abstract/2Hans Bolinder
The 'encoding' option of erl_parse:abstract/2 has been extended to include 'none' and a callback function (a predicate). The rationale is that a more general means of determining what integer lists are to be represented as strings may help readability when generating Erlang code given input in some other encoding than Latin-1 or UTF-8.

2014-03-21fix sys:get_state/1,2 and sys:replace_state/2,3 when sys suspendedSteve Vinoski
Add two new system callbacks Module:system_get_state/1 and Module:system_replace_state/2 to allow sys:get_state/1,2 and sys:replace_state/2,3 to operate correctly even if a process is sys suspended. Modify gen_server, gen_fsm, and gen_event to support the new callbacks. If a callback module does not export these functions, then by default the Misc value (the same as that passed as the final argument to sys:handle_system_msg/6, and returned as part of the return value of sys:get_status/1,2) is treated as the callback module's state. The previous behaviour of intercepting the system message and passing a tuple of size 2 as the last argument to sys:handle_system_msg/6 is no longer supported. Add tests to verify the correctness of sys:get_state/1,2 and sys:replace_state/2,3 when processes are sys suspended. Add two tests for modules that implement special processes, one that exports system_get_state/1 and system_replace_state/2 and one that doesn't. Much of the credit for this patch goes to James Fish, who reported the initial problem and implemented much of the fix.

* hb/clarify_encoding: Clarify the reference manual regarding source file encoding
2014-03-18epp: Make it possible to specify a default encodingBjörn Gustavsson
In the next commit, we will need a way to tell epp which the default encoding should be for files that have no encoding comment. We could add new open() and parse_file() functions with one extra argument for the encoding, but there are already too many variants. To avoid having to add an additional argument to epp:open() and epp:parse_file() each time new options are needed, introduce epp:open/1 and epp:parse_file/2 that takes a property list with options. Also support the new 'default_encoding' option for specifying the default encoding for source files. Thanks to Richard Carlsson for the idea and the implementation of the new functionality in epp.erl.

2014-02-23Deprecate pre-defined built-in typesHans Bolinder
The types array(), dict(), digraph(), gb_set(), gb_tree(), queue(), set(), and tid() have been deprecated. They will be removed in OTP 18.0. Instead the types array:array(), dict:dict(), digraph:graph(), gb_set:set(), gb_tree:tree(), queue:queue(), sets:set(), and ets:tid() can be used. (Note: it has always been necessary to use ets:tid().) It is allowed in OTP 17.0 to locally re-define the types array(), dict(), and so on. New types array:array/1, dict:dict/2, gb_sets:set/1, gb_trees:tree/2, queue:queue/1, and sets:set/1 have been added.
