This document describes the changes made to the Kernel application.

-
Kernel 5.0 - -
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions - - -

The handling of on_load functions has been - improved. The major improvement is that if a code upgrade - fails because the on_load function fails, the - previous version of the module will now be retained.

- - -

rpc:call() and rpc:block_call() would - sometimes cause an exception (which was not mentioned in - the documentation). This has been corrected so that - {badrpc,Reason} will be returned instead.

-

- Own Id: OTP-13409

- - -

On Windows, for modules that were loaded early (such - as the lists module), code:which/1 would - return the path with mixed slashes and backslashes, for - example: "C:\\Program - Files\\erl8.0/lib/stdlib-2.7/ebin/lists.beam". This - has been corrected.

- Use fsync instead of fdatasync on Mac OSX.

-

- Own Id: OTP-13411

- - -

- The default chunk size for the fallback sendfile - implementation, used on platforms that do not have a - native sendfile, has been decreased in order to reduce - connectivity issues.

-

- Own Id: OTP-13444

- - -

- Huges writes (2Gb or more) could fail on some Unix - platforms (for example, OS X and FreeBSD).

-

- Own Id: OTP-13461

- - -

- A bug has been fixed where the DNS resolver inet_res did - not refresh its view of the contents of for example - resolv.conf immediately after start and hence then failed - name resolution. Reported and fix suggested by Michal - Ptaszek in GitHUB pull req #949.

- - -

- Fix process leak from global_group. Thanks to Xuming who - reported and fixed this!

-

- Own Id: OTP-13516 Aux Id: PR-1008

- - -

- The function inet:gethostbyname/1 now honors the - resolver option inet6 instead of always looking up - IPv4 addresses.

-

- *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

-

- Own Id: OTP-13622 Aux Id: PR-1065

- - -

- The Status argument to init:stop/1 is now - sanity checked to make sure erlang:halt does not - fail.

Improvements and New Features - - -

- Added os:perf_counter/1.

-

- The perf_counter is a very very cheap and high resolution - timer that can be used to timestamp system events. It - does not have monoticity guarantees, but should on most - OS's expose a monotonous time.

-

- Own Id: OTP-12908

- - -

- The os:cmd call has been optimized on unix platforms to - be more performant as the number of schedulers increase.

-

- Own Id: OTP-13089

- - -

New functions that can load multiple functions at once - have been added to the 'code' module. The - functions are code:atomic_load/1, - code:prepare_loading/1, - code:finish_loading/1, and - code:ensure_modules_loaded/1.

-

- Own Id: OTP-13111

- - -

- The code path cache feature turned out not to be very - useful in practice and has been removed. If an attempt is - made to enable the code path cache, there will be a - warning report informing the user that the feature has - been removed.

-

- Own Id: OTP-13191

- - -

When an attempt is made to start a distributed Erlang - node with the same name as an existing node, the error - message will be much shorter and easier to read than - before. Example:

-

Protocol 'inet_tcp': the name somename@somehost - seems to be in use by another Erlang node

-

- Own Id: OTP-13294

- - -

- The output of the default error logger is somewhat - prettier and easier to read. The default error logger is - used during startup of the OTP system. If the start-up - fails, the output will be easier to read.

-

- Own Id: OTP-13325

- - -

The functions rpc:safe_multi_server_call/2,3 - that were deprecated in R12B have been removed.

-

- *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

- Update the error reasons in dist_util, and show them in - the logs if net_kernel:verbose(1) has been called.

-

- Own Id: OTP-13458

- - -

- Experimental support for Unix Domain Sockets has been - implemented. Read the sources if you want to try it out. - Example: gen_udp:open(0, - [{ifaddr,{local,"/tmp/socket"}}]). Documentation will - be written after user feedback on the experimental API.
