Application upgrade (appup) files are corrected for the following applications:

asn1, common_test, compiler, crypto, debugger, dialyzer, edoc, eldap, erl_docgen, et, eunit, gs, hipe, inets, observer, odbc, os_mon, otp_mibs, parsetools, percept, public_key, reltool, runtime_tools, ssh, syntax_tools, test_server, tools, typer, webtool, wx, xmerl

A new test utility for testing appup files is added to test_server. This is now used by most applications in OTP.

Fix message handling in select requests

percept_db used to send results in untagged messages, and use a non selective receive to extract them. When percept is used from the shell process, this can confuse other messages with the actual result.

Add a tag to the message to be {result, Result}. Add demonitor to avoid keeping DOWN message in the queue fix one spec in do_start/0

(Thanks to Ahmed Omar)

Fix egd_render transparent to use float constants.

The render engine has float guards to enhance beam code generation. However, the default case used integers which caused the engine to crash. This is now fixed.

The documentation is now possible to build in an open source 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)

- The legal notice is taken from the xml book file so OTP's build process can be used for non OTP applications.

Cleanups suggested by tidier and modernization of types and specs.

The documentation is now built with open source tools (xsltproc and fop) that exists on most platforms. One visible change is that the frames are removed.

Extensions to egd:color/1 for using atoms as color definition in addition to rgb triplets.

Own Id: OTP-7975

egd now supports encapsulated postscript output format.

A problem with options list to percept causing some options to be disregarded unintentionally. This has now been fixed.

An error in percept_analyzer caused calculation of standard deviation to be incorrect. This has now been corrected.

Updated css for percept server for enhanced viewing.

Increased performance of egd render.

Several graph errors could occur when compacting data to decrease graph rendering time causing incorrect scalability numbers. These errors have now been fixed.

Increased viewing width for graphs. The viewing width is now dependent on client screen resolution.

External pids caused the webserver to crash. This has now been fixed.

Performance enhancement for the egd render engine (Thanks to Magnus Thoäng).

Own Id: OTP-7616

Calling egd:destroy/1 did not properly remove the process holding the image.

Synchronous calls done via the egd interface could erroneous receive messages not intended for egd. Messages are now tagged in such a way so this should not occur.

Own Id: OTP-7336

Fixed out of bounds rendering problem in egd which could cause the rendering process to crash.

Own Id: OTP-7215

Percept no longer depends on external c-libraries. The graphical rendering is now done via erlang code.

Own Id: OTP-7162

A new module, percept_profile, can now be used to collect profiling data even if the percept application is not installed. This should help profiling erlang application on target machines without libgd installed.
