<p>A mechanism for limiting the amount of text that the
built-in error logger events will produce has been
introduced. It is useful for limiting both the size of
log files and the CPU time used to produce them.</p>
<p>This mechanism is experimental in the sense that it
may be changed if it turns out that it does not solve the
problem it is supposed to solve. In that case, there may
be backward incompatible improvements to this
mechanism.</p>
<p>See the documentation for the config parameter
<c>error_logger_format_depth</c> in the Kernel
application for information about how to turn on this
feature.</p>

<p>
Fix handling of single dot in filename:join/2</p>
<p>
The reference manual says that filename:join(A,B) is
equivalent to filename:join([A,B]). In some rare cases
this turns out not to be true. For example:</p>
<p>
<c>filename:join("/a/.","b") -> "/a/./b"</c> vs
<c>filename:join(["/a/.","b"]) -> "/a/b"</c>.</p>
<p>
This has been corrected. A single dot is now only kept if
it occurs at the very beginning or the very end of the
resulting path.</p>

Cache nowarn_bif_clash functions in erl_lint.</p>
<p>
This patch stores nowarn_bif_clash in the lint record. By
using erlc +'{eprof,lint_module}' when compiling the
erlang parser, we noticed the time spent on
nowarn_function/2 reduced from 30% to 0.01%.</p>

There are many cases where user code needs to be able to
distinguish between a socket that was closed normally and
one that was aborted. Setting the option
{show_econnreset, true} enables the user to receive
ECONNRESET errors on both active and passive sockets.</p>

<p>
Allow maps for supervisor flags and child specs</p>
<p>
Earlier, supervisor flags and child specs were given as
tuples. While this is kept for backwards compatibility,
it is now also allowed to give these parameters as maps,
see <seealso
marker="stdlib:supervisor#sup_flags">sup_flags</seealso>
and <seealso
marker="stdlib:supervisor#child_spec">child_spec</seealso>.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-11043</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>
A new system message, <c>terminate</c>, is added. This
can be sent with <c>sys:terminate/2,3</c>. If the
receiving process handles system messages properly it
will terminate shortly after receiving this message.</p>
<p>
The new function <c>proc_lib:stop/1,3</c> utilizes this
new system message and monitors the receiving process in
order to facilitate a synchronous stop mechanism for
'special processes'.</p>
<p>
<c>proc_lib:stop/1,3</c> is used by the following
functions:</p>
<list> <item><c>gen_server:stop/1,3</c> (new)</item>
<item><c>gen_fsm:stop/1,3</c> (new)</item>

Remove the <c>pg</c> module, which has been deprecated
through OTP-17, is now removed from the STDLIB
application. This module has been marked experimental for
more than 15 years, and has largely been superseded by
the <c>pg2</c> module from the Kernel application.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-11907</p>

<p>
New BIF: <c>erlang:get_keys/0</c>, lists all keys
associated with the process dictionary. Note:
<c>erlang:get_keys/0</c> is auto-imported.</p>
<p>
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-12151 Aux Id: seq12521 </p>
</item>
<item>
<p> Add three new functions to <c>io_lib</c>--
<c>scan_format/2</c>, <c>unscan_format/1</c>, and
<c>build_text/1</c>-- which expose the parsed form of the
format control sequences to make it possible to easily
modify or filter the input to <c>io_lib:format/2</c>.
This can e.g. be used in order to replace unbounded-size
control sequences like <c>~w</c> or <c>~p</c> with
corresponding depth-limited <c>~W</c> and <c>~P</c>
before doing the actual formatting. </p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-12167</p>

<item>
<p> Introduce the <c>erl_anno</c> module, an abstraction
of the second element of tokens and tuples in the
abstract format. </p>

expressions and it will accept literals or bound
variables as keys in Map patterns.</p>

<p>The documentation of the Abstract Format (in the ERTS
User's Guide) has been updated with types and
specification. (Thanks to Anthony Ramine.) </p> <p> The
explicit representation of parentheses used in types of
the abstract format has been removed. Instead the new
functions <c>erl_parse:type_inop_prec()</c> and
<c>erl_parse:type_preop_prec()</c> can be used for
inserting parentheses where needed. </p>

Supports tar file creation on other media than file
systems mounted on the local machine.</p>
<p>
The <c>erl_tar</c> api is extended with
<c>erl_tar:init/3</c> that enables usage of user provided
media storage routines. A ssh-specific set of such
routines is hidden in the new function
<c>ssh_sftp:open_tar/3</c> to simplify creating a tar
archive on a remote ssh server.</p>
<p>
A chunked file reading option is added to
<c>erl_tar:add/3,4</c> to save memory on e.g small
embedded systems. The size of the slices read from a file
in that case can be specified.</p>

cases, for instance when the restart strategy is
simple_one_for_one, the log could be completely

The version of the PCRE library Used by Erlang's re
module is raised to 8.33 from 7.6. This means, among
other things, better Unicode and Unicode Character
Properties support. New options connected to PCRE 8.33
are also added to the re module (ucd, notempty_atstart,
no_start_optimize). PCRE has extended the regular
expression syntax between 7.6 and 8.33, why this imposes
a potential incompatibility. Only very complicated
regular expressions may be affected, but if you know you
are using obscure features, please test run your regular
expressions and verify that their behavior has not
changed.</p>

A call to either the <c>garbage_collect/1</c> BIF or the
<c>check_process_code/2</c> BIF may trigger garbage
collection of another processes than the process calling
the BIF. The previous implementations performed these
kinds of garbage collections without considering the
internal state of the process being garbage collected. In
order to be able to more easily and more efficiently
implement yielding native code, these types of garbage
collections have been rewritten. A garbage collection
like this is now triggered by an asynchronous request
signal, the actual garbage collection is performed by the
process being garbage collected itself, and finalized by
a reply signal to the process issuing the request. Using
this approach processes can disable garbage collection
and yield without having to set up the heap in a state
that can be garbage collected.</p>
<p>
The <seealso
marker="erts:erlang#garbage_collect/2"><c>garbage_collect/2</c></seealso>,
and <seealso
marker="erts:erlang#check_process_code/3"><c>check_process_code/3</c></seealso>
BIFs have been introduced. Both taking an option list as
last argument. Using these, one can issue asynchronous
requests.</p>
<p>
<c>code:purge/1</c> and <c>code:soft_purge/1</c> have
been rewritten to utilize asynchronous
<c>check_process_code</c> requests in order to
parallelize work.</p>
<p>
Characteristics impact: A call to the
<c>garbage_collect/1</c> BIF or the
<c>check_process_code/2</c> BIF will normally take longer
time to complete while the system as a whole wont be as
much negatively effected by the operation as before. A
call to <c>code:purge/1</c> and <c>code:soft_purge/1</c>
may complete faster or slower depending on the state of
the system while the system as a whole wont be as much
negatively effected by the operation as before.</p>

Integrate elliptic curve contribution from Andreas
Schultz </p>
<p>
In order to be able to support elliptic curve cipher
suites in SSL/TLS, additions to handle elliptic curve
infrastructure has been added to public_key and crypto.</p>
<p>
This also has resulted in a rewrite of the crypto API to
gain consistency and remove unnecessary overhead. All OTP
applications using crypto has been updated to use the new
API.</p>
<p>
Impact: Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) offers
equivalent security with smaller key sizes than other
public key algorithms. Smaller key sizes result in
savings for power, memory, bandwidth, and computational
cost that make ECC especially attractive for constrained
environments.</p>

Increased potential concurrency in ETS for
<c>write_concurrency</c> option. The number of internal
table locks has increased from 16 to 64. This makes it
four times less likely that two concurrent processes
writing to the same table would collide and thereby
serialized. The cost is an increased constant memory
footprint for tables using write_concurrency. The memory
consumption per inserted record is not affected. The
increased footprint can be particularly large if
<c>write_concurrency</c> is combined with
<c>read_concurrency</c>.</p>

Leave control back to gen_server during supervisor's
restart loop</p>
<p>
When an attempt to restart a child failed, supervisor
would earlier keep the execution flow and try to restart
the child over and over again until it either succeeded
or the restart frequency limit was reached. If none of
these happened, supervisor would hang forever in this
loop.</p>
<p>
This commit adds a timer of 0 ms where the control is
left back to the gen_server which implements the
supervisor. This way any incoming request to the
supervisor will be handled - which could help breaking
the infinite loop - e.g. shutdown request for the
supervisor or for the problematic child.</p>
<p>
This introduces some incompatibilities in stdlib due to
new return values from supervisor:</p>
<list>
<item>restart_child/2 can now return
{error,restarting}</item> <item>delete_child/2 can now
return {error,restarting}</item> <item>which_children/1
returns a list of {Id,Child,Type,Mods}, where Child, in
addition to the old pid() or 'undefined', now also can be
'restarting'.</item>

<p> When an escript ends now all printout to standard
output and standard error gets out on the terminal. This
bug has been corrected by changing the behaviour of
erlang:halt/0,1, which should fix the same problem for
other escript-like applications, i.e that data stored in
the output port driver buffers got lost when printing on
a TTY and exiting through erlang:halt/0,1. </p>
<p> The BIF:s erlang:halt/0,1 has gotten improved
semantics and there is a new BIF erlang:halt/2 to
accomplish something like the old semantics. See the
documentation. </p>
<p> Now erlang:halt/0 and erlang:halt/1 with an integer
argument will close all ports and allow all pending async
threads operations to finish before exiting the emulator.
Previously erlang:halt/0 and erlang:halt(0) would just
wait for pending async threads operations but not close
ports. And erlang:halt/1 with a non-zero integer argument
would not even wait for pending async threads operations.
</p>
<p> To roughly the old behaviour, to not wait for ports
and async threads operations when you exit the emulator,
you use erlang:halt/2 with an integer first argument and
an option list containing {flush,false} as the second
argument. Note that now is flushing not dependant of the
exit code, and you can not only flush async threads
operations which we deemed as a strange behaviour anyway.
</p>
<p>Also, erlang:halt/1,2 has gotten a new feature: If the
first argument is the atom 'abort' the emulator is
aborted producing a core dump, if the operating system so
allows. </p>

behaviours with -callback' attributes for all the

the callback attribute Automatically generate
'behaviour_info' function from '-callback' attributes</p>
<p>
'behaviour_info(callbacks)' is a special function that is
defined in a module which describes a behaviour and
returns a list of its callbacks.</p>
<p>
This function is now automatically generated using the
'-callback' specs. An error is returned by lint if user
defines both '-callback' attributes and the
behaviour_info/1 function. If no type info is needed for
a callback use a generic spec for it. Add '-callback'
attribute to language syntax</p>
<p>
Behaviours may define specs for their callbacks using the
familiar spec syntax, replacing the '-spec' keyword with
'-callback'. Simple lint checks are performed to ensure
that no callbacks are defined twice and all types
referred are declared.</p>
<p>
These attributes can be then used by tools to provide
documentation to the behaviour or find discrepancies in
the callback definitions in the callback module.</p>

Explicitly kill dynamic children in supervisors</p>
<p>
According to the supervisor's documentation: "Important
note on simple-one-for-one supervisors: The dynamically
created child processes of a simple-one-for-one
supervisor are not explicitly killed, regardless of
shutdown strategy, but are expected to terminate when the
supervisor does (that is, when an exit signal from the
parent process is received)."</p>
<p>
All is fine as long as we stop simple_one_for_one
supervisor manually. Dynamic children catch the exit
signal from the supervisor and leave. But, if this
happens when we stop an application, after the top
supervisor has stopped, the application master kills all
remaining processes associated to this application. So,
dynamic children that trap exit signals can be killed
during their cleanup (here we mean inside terminate/2).
This is unpredictable and highly time-dependent.</p>
<p>
In this commit, supervisor module is patched to
explicitly terminate dynamic children accordingly to the
shutdown strategy.</p>
<p>
NOTE: Order in which dynamic children are stopped is not
defined. In fact, this is "almost" done at the same time.</p>
<p>
Stack errors when dynamic children are stopped</p>
<p>
Because a simple_one_for_one supervisor can have many
workers, we stack errors during its shutdown to report
only one message for each encountered error type. Instead
of reporting the child's pid, we use the number of
concerned children. (Thanks to Christopher Faulet)</p>

fix supervisors restarting temporary children</p>
<p>
In the current implementation of supervisors, temporary
children should never be restarted. However, when a
temporary child is restarted as part of a one_for_all or
rest_for_one strategy where the failing process is not
the temporary child, the supervisor still tries to
restart it.</p>
<p>
Because the supervisor doesn't keep some of the MFA
information of temporary children, this causes the
supervisor to hit its restart limit and crash.</p>
<p>
This patch fixes the behaviour by inserting a clause in
terminate_children/2-3 (private function) that will omit
temporary children when building a list of killed
processes, to avoid having the supervisor trying to
restart them again.</p>
<p>
Only supervisors in need of restarting children used the
list, so the change should be of no impact for the
functions that called terminate_children/2-3 only to kill
all children.</p>
<p>
The documentation has been modified to make this
behaviour more explicit. (Thanks to Fred Hebert)</p>

Update index file atomically</p>
<p>
Since the log_mf_h index file might be read by other
processes than the error handler (e.g. by the rb tool),
this file should be updated atomically. This will avoid
hitting the time gap between opening the file in write
mode (and thus emptying the file) and the actual update
with the new contents. To do this, a temporary file is
written, and the file:rename/1 used to replace the real
index file.</p>

Supervisors should not save child-specs for temporary
processes when they terminate as they should not be
restarted. Saving the temporary child spec will result in
that you can not start a new temporary process with the
same child spec as an already terminated temporary
process. Since R14B02 you can not restart a temporary
temporary process as arguments are no longer saved, it
has however always been semantically incorrect to restart
a temporary process. Thanks to Filipe David Manana for
reporting this and suggesting a solution.</p>

Change pool module to attempt to attach to nodes that are
already running</p>
<p>
The pool module prints out an error message and takes no
further action for nodes that are already running. This
patch changes that behavior so that if the return from
slave:start/3 is {already_running, Node} then an attempt
to attach to the node is still made. This makes sense
because the node has been specified by the user in the
.hosts.erlang file indicating a wish for the node to be
part of the pool and a manual attach can be successfully
made after the pool is started.(Thanks to Kelly

Furthermore, such specifications MAY ignore the pad
character, "=", treating it as non-alphabet data, if it

Large parts of the <c>ethread</c> library have been
rewritten. The <c>ethread</c> library is an Erlang
runtime system internal, portable thread library used by
the runtime system itself.</p>
<p>
Most notable improvement is a reader optimized rwlock
implementation which dramatically improve the performance
of read-lock/read-unlock operations on multi processor
systems by avoiding ping-ponging of the rwlock cache
lines. The reader optimized rwlock implementation is used
by miscellaneous rwlocks in the runtime system that are
known to be read-locked frequently, and can be enabled on
ETS tables by passing the <seealso
marker="stdlib:ets#new_2_read_concurrency">{read_concurrency,
true}</seealso> option upon table creation. See the
documentation of <seealso
marker="stdlib:ets#new/2">ets:new/2</seealso> for more
information. The reader optimized rwlock implementation
can be fine tuned when starting the runtime system. For
more information, see the documentation of the <seealso
marker="erts:erl#+rg">+rg</seealso> command line argument
of <c>erl</c>.</p>
<p>
There is also a new implementation of rwlocks that is not
optimized for readers. Both implementations interleaves
readers and writers during contention as opposed to,
e.g., the NPTL (Linux) pthread rwlock implementation
which use either a reader or writer preferred strategy.
The reader/writer preferred strategy is problematic since
it starves threads doing the non-preferred operation.</p>
<p>
The new rwlock implementations in general performs better
in ERTS than common pthread implementations. However, in
some extremely heavily contended cases this is not the
case. Such heavy contention can more or less only appear
on ETS tables. This when multiple processes do very large
amounts of write locked operations simultaneously on the
same table. Such use of ETS is bad regardless of rwlock
implementation, will never scale, and is something we
strongly advise against.</p>
<p>
The new rwlock implementations depend on atomic
operations. If no native atomic implementation is found,
a fallback solution will be used. Using the fallback
implies a performance degradation. That is, it is more
important now than before to build OTP with a native
atomic implementation.</p>
<p>
The <c>ethread</c> library contains native atomic
implementations for, x86 (32 and 64 bit), powerpc (32
bit), sparc V9 (32 and 64 bit), and tilera (32 bit). On
other hardware gcc's builtin support for atomic memory
access will be used if such exists. If no such support is
found, <c>configure</c> will warn about no atomic
implementation available.</p>
<p>
The <c>ethread</c> library can now also use the
<c>libatomic_ops</c> library for atomic memory accesses.
This makes it possible for the Erlang runtime system to
utilize optimized native atomic operations on more
platforms than before. If <c>configure</c> warns about no
atomic implementation available, try using the
<c>libatomic_ops</c> library. Use the <seealso
marker="doc/installation_guide:INSTALL#Advanced-configuration-and-build-of-ErlangOTP">--with-libatomic_ops=PATH</seealso>
<c>configure</c> command line argument when specifying
where the <c>libatomic_ops</c> installation is located.
The <c>libatomic_ops</c> library can be downloaded from:
<url
href="http://www.hpl.hp.com/research/linux/atomic_ops/">http://www.hpl.hp.com/research/linux/atomic_ops/</url></p>
<p>
The changed API of the <c>ethread</c> library has also
caused modifications in the Erlang runtime system.
Preparations for the to come "delayed deallocation"
feature has also been done since it depends on the
<c>ethread</c> library.</p>
<p>
<em>Note</em>: When building for x86, the <c>ethread</c>
library will now use instructions that first appeared on
the pentium 4 processor. If you want the runtime system
to be compatible with older processors (back to 486) you
need to pass the <seealso
marker="doc/installation_guide:INSTALL#Advanced-configuration-and-build-of-ErlangOTP">--enable-ethread-pre-pentium4-compatibility</seealso>
<c>configure</c> command line argument when configuring
the system.</p>

overriding it with an import or a local function will
only result in a warning,</p> <p>To resolve clashes, you
can either use the explicit module name <c>erlang</c> to
call the BIF, or you can remove the auto-import of that
specific BIF by using the new compiler directive
<c>-compile({no_auto_import,[F/A]}).</c>, which makes all
calls to the local or imported function without explicit
module name pass without warnings or errors.</p> <p>The
change makes it possible to add auto-imported BIFs
without breaking or silently changing old code in the

The recently added BIFs erlang:min/2, erlang:max/2 and
erlang:port_command/3 are now auto-imported (as they were
originally intended to be). Due to the recent compiler
change (OTP-8579), the only impact on old code defining
it's own min/2, max/2 or port_command/3 functions will be
a warning, the local functions will still be used. The
warning can be removed by using
-compile({no_auto_import,[min/2,max/2,port_command/3]}).

Because of a race condition, using filelib:ensure_dir/1
from multiple processes to create the same path or parts
of the same directory structure, filelib:ensure_dir/1
could return a meaningless {error,eexist}. That race
condition has been eliminated, and {error,eexist} will
now be returned only if there exists a regular file,
device file, or some other non-directory file with the

<p>Support for Unicode is implemented as described in
EEP10. Formatting and reading of unicode data both from
terminals and files is supported by the io and io_lib
modules. Files can be opened in modes with automatic
translation to and from different unicode formats. The
module 'unicode' contains functions for conversion
between external and internal unicode formats and the re
module has support for unicode data. There is also
language syntax for specifying string and character data
beyond the ISO-latin-1 range.</p>
<p>The interactive shell will support input and output of
unicode characters when the terminal and operating system
supports it.</p>
<p>Please see the EEP and the io/io_lib manual pages as
well as the stdlib users guide for details.</p>
<p><em>I/O-protocol incompatibilities:</em></p>
<p>The io_protocol between io_Server and client is
updated to handle protocol data in unicode formats. The
updated protocol is now documented. The specification
resides in the stdlib <em>users manual</em>, which is a
new part of the manual.</p>
<p><em>io module incompatibilities:</em></p>
<p>The io:put_chars, io:get_chars and io:get_line all
handle and return unicode data. In the case where
binaries can be provided (as to io:put_chars), they shall
be encoded in UTF-8. When binaries are returned (as by
io:get_line/get_chars when the io_server is set in
<em>binary mode</em>) the returned data is also
<em>always</em> encoded as UTF-8. The file module however
still returns byte-oriented data, why file:read can be
used instead of io:get_chars to read binary data in
ISO-latin-1.</p>
<p><em>io_lib module incompatibilities:</em></p>
<p>io_lib:format can, given new format directives (i.e
"~ts" and "~tc"), return lists containing integers larger
than 255. </p>

<p>Processes spawned using <c>proc_lib</c> (including
<c>gen_server</c> and other library modules that use
<c>proc_lib</c>) no longer keep the entire argument list
for the initial call, but only the arity.</p>
<p>Also, if <c>proc_lib:spawn/1</c> is used to spawn a
fun, the actual fun is not kept, but only module,
function name, and arity of the function that implements
the fun.</p>
<p>The reason for the change is that keeping the initial
fun (or a fun in an argument list), would prevent
upgrading the code for the module. A secondary reason is
that keeping the fun and function arguments could waste a
significant amount of memory.</p>
<p>The drawback with the change is that the crash reports
will provide less precise information about the initial
call (only <c>Module:Function/Arity</c> instead of
<c>Module:Function(Arguments)</c>). The function
<c>proc_lib:initial_call/1</c> still returns a list, but
each argument has been replaced with a dummy atom.</p>

<p>The <c>queue</c> module has been rewritten to make it
easier to use. Suggestions and discussion from and with
among others Lev Walkin, Anders Ramsell and Rober Virding
in december 2007 on erlang-questions@erlang.org. It was
also discussed to change the internal representation to
contain length information which would speed up
<c>len/1</c> but that change has been postponed. Anyone
interested may write an EEP and try to reach an
acceptable compromise for queue overhead and thereby the
speed of all other operations than <c>len/1</c>. The
<c>queue</c> module is now optimized for fast and minimal
garbage <c>in/2</c> and <c>out/1</c> and such. See the

column of a table in such a way that a traversal using a
match specification was possible and the QLC also
compared the key column or some indexed column of the the
table with a column of some other table, <c>qlc</c>
always chose to traverse the table first, never
considering lookup join. This has been changed so that
lookup join is always preferred; if an initial traversal
using the match specification is desired, the query needs
to be rewritten introducing an extra QLC with the
filter(s) restricting the column.</item> <item>When
trying to find candidates for match specifications and
lookup, filters using variables from one generator only

<p>The behaviour of the internal functions gen:call/3,4
has been changed slightly in the rare case that when the
caller was linked to the called server, and the server
crashed during the call; its exit signal was consumed by
the gen:call/3,4 code and converted to an exit exception.
This exit signal is no longer consumed.</p>
<p>To even notice this change, 1) the calling process has
to be linked to the called server.</p>
<p>
2) the call must not be remote by name that is it must be
local or remote by pid, local by name or global by name.</p>
<p>
3) the calling process has to have set
<c>process_flag(trap_exit, true)</c>.</p>
<p>
4) the server has to crash during the call.</p>
<p>
5) the calling process has to be sensitive to getting
previously consumed <c>{'EXIT',Pid,Reason}</c> messages
in its message queue.</p>
<p>The old behaviour was once the only way for a client
to notice if the server died, but has since
<c>erlang:monitor(process, {Name,Node})</c> was
introduced and used in gen:call been regarded as an
undesired behaviour if not a bug.</p>

<p>The shell has been updated to fix the following flaws:
Shell process exit left you with an unresponsive initial
shell if not using oldshell. Starting a restricted shell

where no commands could be used, not even init:stop/0.
Fun's could not be used as parameters to local shell
functions (in shell_default or user_default) when
restricted_shell was active.</p>

<p>Support for faster join of two tables has been added
to the <c>qlc</c> module. There are two kinds of fast
joins: lookup join that uses existing indices, and merge
join that takes two sorted inputs. There is a new
<c>join</c> option that can be used to force QLC to use a
particular kind of join in some QLC expression.</p>
<p>Several other changes have also been included:</p>
<list type="bulleted">
<item>
<p>The new <c>tmpdir</c> option of <c>cursor/2</c>,
<c>eval/2</c>, <c>fold/4</c>, and <c>info/2</c> can be
used to set the directory that join uses for temporary
files. The option also overrides the <c>tmpdir</c> option
of <c>keysort/3</c> and <c>sort/2</c>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>The new <c>lookup</c> option can be used to
assert that constants are looked up when evaluating some
QLC expression.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>The <c>cache</c> and <c>cache_all</c> options
accept new tags: <c>ets</c>, <c>list</c>, and <c>no</c>.
The tag <c>list</c> caches answers in a list using a
temporary file if the answers cannot be held in RAM.
Combining <c>{cache,list}</c> and <c>{unique, true}</c>
is equivalent to calling <c>sort/2</c> with the option
<c>unique</c> set to <c>true</c>. The old tags
<c>true</c> (equivalent to <c>ets</c>) and <c>false</c>
(equivalent to <c>no</c>) are recognized for backward
compatibility.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>The new option <c>max_list_size</c> can be used
to set the limit where merge join starts to use temporary
files for large equivalence classes and when answers
cached in lists are put on temporary files.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>There is a new callback <c>is_sorted_key</c> to
be supplied as an option to <c>table/2</c>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>QLC analyzes each and every QLC expression when
trying to find constants for the lookup function.
Hitherto only QLC expressions with exactly one generator
were analyzed.</p>
<p>Note that only filters with guard
syntax placed immediately after the generator are
analyzed. The restriction to guard filters is an
incompatible change. See <c>qlc(3)</c> for further
details.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>In a similar way several match specifications
for traversal of QLC tables can be utilized for different
generators of one single QLC expression.</p>
</item>

sufficiently complex query it could happen that some
answers were not returned.</p>

<p>To help Dialyzer find more bugs, many functions in the
Kernel and STDLIB applications now only accept arguments
of the type that is documented.</p>
<p>For instance, the functions <c>lists:prefix/2</c> and
<c>lists:suffix/2</c> are documented to only accept lists
as their arguments, but they actually accepted anything
and returned <c>false</c>. That has been changed so that
the functions cause an exception if one or both arguments
are not lists.</p>
<p>Also, the <c>string:strip/3</c> function is documented
to take a character argument that is a character to strip
from one or both ends of the string. Given a list instead
of a character, it used to do nothing, but will now cause
an exception.</p>
<p>Dialyzer will find most cases where those functions
are passed arguments of the wrong type.</p>
