This document describes the changes made to the Kernel application.

+
Kernel 2.14.1 + +
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions + + +

+ Fixed: inet:setopts(S, [{linger,{true,2}}]) returned + {error,einval} for SCTP sockets. The inet_drv had a bug + when checking the option size.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-8726 Aux Id: seq11617

+
+ +

+ gen_udp:connect/3 was broken for SCTP enabled builds. It + did not detect remote end errors as it should.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-8729

+
+ +

reference() has been substituted for ref() in the + documentation.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-8733

+
+ +

A bug introduced in kernel-2.13.5.3 has been fixed. If + running net_kernel:set_net_ticktime/1 twice within + the TransitionPerod the second call caused the + net_kernel process to crash with a badmatch.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-8787 Aux Id: seq11657, OTP-8643

+
+ +

+ inet:getsockopt for SCTP sctp_default_send_param had a + bug to not initialize required feilds causing random + answers. It is now corrected.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-8795 Aux Id: seq11655

+
+ +

For a socket in the HTTP packet mode, the return value + from gen_tcp:recv/2,3 if there is an error in the + header will be {ok,{http_error,String}} instead of + {error,{http_error,String}} to be consistent with + ssl:recv/2,3.

+

+ *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

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

+ Even when configuring erlang with --enable-native-libs, + the native code for modules loaded very early (such as + lists) would not get loaded. This has been corrected. + (Thanks to Paul Guyot.)

+

+ Own Id: OTP-8750

+
+ +

+ The undocumented function inet:ifget/2 has been improved + to return interface hardware address (MAC) on platforms + supporting getaddrinfo() (such as BSD unixes). Note it + still does not work on all platforms for example not + Windows nor Solaris, so the function is still + undocumented.

+

+ Buffer overflow and field init bugs for inet:ifget/2 and + inet:getservbyname/2 has also been fixed.

+

+ Thanks to Michael Santos.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-8816

+
+ +

+ As a usability improvement the 'inet6' option to + functions gen_tcp:listen/2, gen_tcp:connect/3-4, + gen_udp:open/2 and gen_sctp:open/1-2 is now implicit if + the address argument or the 'ip' option contain an IPv6 + address (8-tuple).
