compiler-8.1.1 #

The compiler-8.1.1 application can be applied independently of other applications on a full OTP 24 installation.

OTP-18066
Application(s):
compiler
Related Id(s):
GH-5915

Fixed a performance bug in the validator that made certain files take a very long time to compile.

OTP-18082
Application(s):
compiler

In rare circumstances, the compiler would mistakenly assume that a call to setelement/3 would always fail and remove all code following the call.

Full runtime dependencies of compiler-8.1.1: crypto-3.6, erts-11.0, kernel-7.0, stdlib-3.13

erts-12.3.2 #

Note! The erts-12.3.2 application *cannot* be applied independently of other applications on an arbitrary OTP 24 installation. On a full OTP 24 installation, also the following runtime dependency has to be satisfied: -- kernel-8.3 (first satisfied in OTP 24.3)

OTP-17970
Application(s):
erts
Related Id(s):
PR-5762

Let EPMD tolerate failure when binding to IPv4/IPv6 loopback intefaces in addition to user-supplied addresses via ERL_EPMD_ADDRESS or the -address option. This can happen, for example, if the host system has ipv6 disabled via the disable_ipv6 sysctl.

OTP-18027
Application(s):
erts

Fixed a rare bug in binary_to_term/1, enif_make_map_from_arrays, erl_drv_send_term, and Erlang distribution that could crash the emulator.

OTP-18065
Application(s):
erts
Related Id(s):
GH-5908

Fixed a rare race in persistent_term:get/1,2 that could cause it to return the value of another key.

OTP-18075
Application(s):
erts
Related Id(s):
PR-5927

Fix bug where the process message queue was left in an inconsistent state when changing from on_heap to off_heap message queue data causing the GC to segfault.

OTP-18076
Application(s):
erts
Related Id(s):
ERIERL-802 , PR-5905

Fix functions that convert universal to localtime (such as erlang:localtime/0 and erlang:universaltime_to_localtime/1) to fetch the correct localtime if it is changed after the start of the VM.

OTP-18077
Application(s):
erts
Related Id(s):
GH-5876 , PR-5892

Fix memory leak when a process doing a distributed fragmented send is sent an exit signal. Before this fix the receiving node would be left with an incomplete message that would remain until the nodes were disconnected. The bug has existed since Erlang/OTP 21.

OTP-18080
Application(s):
erts, kernel
Related Id(s):
GH-5930

Corrected the behaviour of the shutdown function when using with the inet_backend = socket. It was not sufficiently compatible with the "old" gen_tcp.

inets-7.5.3 #

The inets-7.5.3 application can be applied independently of other applications on a full OTP 24 installation.

OTP-18069

Fix handling of erl_script_script option in httpd when atom 'all' is used as AllowedModule.

The mnesia-4.20.4 application can be applied independently of other applications on a full OTP 24 installation.

OTP-18056
Application(s):
mnesia

Fixed mnesia:add_table_copy/3 so that calling it when mnesia started on another node does not fail or cause hanging nodes.

ssl-10.7.3 #

Note! The ssl-10.7.3 application *cannot* be applied independently of other applications on an arbitrary OTP 24 installation. On a full OTP 24 installation, also the following runtime dependency has to be satisfied: -- public_key-1.11.3 (first satisfied in OTP 24.1.2)
