Reltool Release Notes Håkan Mattsson notes.xml

This document describes the changes made to the Reltool system from version to version. The intention of this document is to list all incompatibilities as well as all enhancements and bugfixes for every release of Reltool. Each release of Reltool thus constitutes one section in this document. The title of each section is the version number of Reltool.

Reltool 0.5.2
Improvements and New Features

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

Reltool 0.5.1
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

In the new release of Reltool (0.5) there is a severe bug that may cause your source files to be deleted. The bug is triggered when you generate a target system WITH archive files AND your library directories are given with absolute paths. (Library directories are given with the ERL_LIBS environment variable or with the lib_dirs configuration parameter.)

Reltool 0.5
Improvements and New Features

The tool is still experimental. Feedback is appreciated.

Major improvements of the target system generation has been performed. Now it is possible to generate a relocatable target system that does not need to be re-installed if it is moved to a new location. Archive files are automatically generated. A detailed specification of the target system can be generated without actually creating the target system. Relocatable escripts are put in the bin directory of the target system. etc. etc.

Some new functions has been introduced in the reltool module: start/1, start_link/1, get_config/3, get_target_spec/1 and eval_target_spec/3.

Some new configuration parameters has been introduced: profile, incl_sys_filters, excl_sys_filters, incl_app_filters, excl_app_filters, incl_archive_filters, excl_archive_filters, archive_opts, escript and relocatable.

Some parameters have been obsoleted and given new semantics: incl_erts_dirs (incl_sys_filters), excl_erts_dirs (excl_sys_filters), incl_app_dirs (incl_app_filters), excl_app_dirs (excl_app_filters) and escripts (escript).
