This document describes the changes made to the Kernel application.

+
Kernel 2.13.5 + +
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions + + +

A race bug affecting pg2:get_local_members/1 + has been fixed. The bug was introduced in R13B03.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-8358

+ + +

+ The loading of native code was not properly atomic in the + SMP emulator, which could cause crashes. Also a per-MFA + information table for the native code has now been + protected with a lock since it turns that it could be + accessed concurrently in the SMP emulator. (Thanks to + Mikael Pettersson.)

+

+ Own Id: OTP-8397

+ + +

+ user.erl (used in oldshell) is updated to handle unicode + in prompt strings (io:get_line/{1,2}). io_lib is also + updated to format prompts with the 't' modifier (i.e. ~ts + instead of ~s).

+

+ Own Id: OTP-8418 Aux Id: OTP-8393

+ + +

+ The resolver routines failed to look up the own node name + as hostname, if the OS native resolver was erroneously + configured, bug reported by Yogish Baliga, now fixed.

+

+ The resolver routines now tries to parse the hostname as + an IP string as most OS resolvers do, unless the native + resolver is used.

+

+ The DNS resolver inet_res and file resolver inet_hosts + now do not read OS configuration files until they are + needed. Since the native resolver is default, in most + cases they are never needed.

+

+ The DNS resolver's automatic updating of OS configuration + file data (/etc/resolv.conf) now uses the 'domain' + keyword as default search domain if there is no 'search' + keyword.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-8426 Aux Id: OTP-8381

+ + +
+ + +
Improvements and New Features + + +

+ The expected return value for an on_load function has + been changed. (See the section about code loading in the + Reference manual.)

+

+ *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

+

+ Own Id: OTP-8339

+ + +

+ Explicit top directories in archive files are now + optional.

+

+ For example, if an archive (app-vsn.ez) just contains an + app-vsn/ebin/mod.beam file, the file info for the app-vsn + and app-vsn/ebin directories are faked using the file + info from the archive file as origin. The virtual + direcories can also be listed. For short, the top + directories are virtual if they does not exist.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-8387

+ + +

+ code:clash/0 now looks inside archives (.ez + files). (Thanks to Tuncer Ayaz.)

+

+ Own Id: OTP-8413

+ + +

+ There are new gen_sctp:connect_init/* functions + that initiate an SCTP connection without blocking for the + result. The result is delivered asynchronously as an + sctp_assoc_change event. (Thanks to Simon Cornish.)

+ Own Id: OTP-8414
