OTP-24.0.3 #

OTP-17502
Application(s):
otp

A new page called "Coming Potential Incompatibilities" has been added to the documentation.

compiler-8.0.2 #

The compiler-8.0.2 application can be applied independently of other applications on a full OTP 24 installation.

OTP-17489
Application(s):
compiler
Related Id(s):
GH-4953

A compiler optimization pass could crash when given odd but legal code using throw/1.

Full runtime dependencies of compiler-8.0.2: crypto-3.6, erts-11.0, kernel-7.0, stdlib-3.13

dialyzer-4.4.1 #

The dialyzer-4.4.1 application can be applied independently of other applications on a full OTP 24 installation.

OTP-17443
Application(s):
dialyzer
Related Id(s):
GH-4890

Do not expose line number 0 in messages if there are other locations to use.

OTP-17482
Application(s):
dialyzer

In rare circumstances, Dialyzer could crash analyzing code with a list comprehension whose value was ignored. (Thanks to Ulf Wiger for reporting this bug.)

Full runtime dependencies of dialyzer-4.4.1: compiler-7.0, erts-9.0, kernel-5.3, stdlib-3.4, syntax_tools-2.0, wx-1.2

erts-12.0.3 #

The erts-12.0.3 application can be applied independently of other applications on a full OTP 24 installation.

OTP-17472
Application(s):
erts

PR-4932

A call to erlang:cancel_timer(_, [{info, false}]) could cause the calling process to block forever in the call. Note that only the synchronous version of the call (that is, the async option is false) in combination with the info option set to false was effected by this bug.

OTP-17493
Application(s):
erts

Microstate accounting (msacc) and os:perf_counter() unintentionally used system time instead of monotonic time for time measurements on a lot of systems. These systems were all non x86/x86_64 systems or x86/x86_64 systems without a reliable and constant rdtsc instruction.

The lock counting (lcnt) built runtime system also unintentionally used system time instead of monotonic time for time measurements on all systems.

OTP-17500
Application(s):
erts
Related Id(s):
GH-4809

Simultaneous calls to erlang:system_flag(schedulers_online, _) could cause callers to end up in a suspended state forever.

Full runtime dependencies of erts-12.0.3: kernel-8.0, sasl-3.3, stdlib-3.13

inets-7.4.1 #

The inets-7.4.1 application can be applied independently of other applications on a full OTP 24 installation.

OTP-17490
Application(s):
inets

Improved user input handling in inets/mod_esi preventing unnecessary atom creation.

Full runtime dependencies of inets-7.4.1: erts-6.0, kernel-3.0, mnesia-4.12, runtime_tools-1.8.14, ssl-5.3.4, stdlib-3.5

ssh-4.12.3 #

The ssh-4.12.3 application can be applied independently of other applications on a full OTP 24 installation.

OTP-17468
Application(s):
ssh
Related Id(s):

Filter out sensitive data (passwords etc) from progress reports and supervisor reports.
