Check out the git tag OTP-27.1, and build a full OTP system including
documentation. Apply one or more applications from this build as patches to your
installation using the 'otp_patch_apply' tool. For information on install
requirements, see descriptions for each application version below.
# HIGHLIGHTS
- The `zip` module has been updated with support for:
- zip64 archives - Archives larger than 4GB or with more than 2^32 entries.
- extended timestamps - Higher resolution and in UTC.
- UID/GID - Save and extract the original UID/GID.
- Fixes so that permission mode attributes are correctly read and set for
files in archives.
- zip:list_dir/2 now also returns directories, not only files. (You can
disable this behaviour by using the option `skip_directories`).
Various bugs in the original implementation have also been fixed, such as:
- Correctly encode and decode the DOS timestamps for entries within an archive
(that is the non-extended timestamp).
- Fix DOS timestamps to be set to localtime instead of UTC (use extended
timestamps for UTC timestamps).
- Use the unix file attributes read from disk when creating archives instead
of setting everything to 644.

# OTP-27.1
## Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- The description of the pre-defined macros has been clarified. In particular,
it is now made clear that the release returned by `?OTP_RELEASE` is the
release under which the compiler is run.
Own Id: OTP-19103
Related Id(s): GH-8486, PR-8518
- `ex_doc` now runs using an explicit escript instance instead of `/usr/bin/env`
so that package tools such as `nix` can build the documentation.
Own Id: OTP-19145
Related Id(s): GH-8378, PR-8596
- The `otp_patch_apply` script, used for patching OTP applications, has been
fixed. It was not possible (and still is not possible) to apply applications
from the OTP 27.0.1 patch package onto an OTP 27.0 installation.
Own Id: OTP-19182
- `./otp_build download_ex_doc` was using `sha1sum` and `sha256sum` which work
on various Unix systems. macOS does not have these applications installed by
default, so we added a new dependency to the build process, `shasum`, which is
installed by default on macOS and allows us to check the integrity of
`ex_doc`.

- Deprecation of RSA encryption functions has been reverted, as there still

oracle attacks.

- It is now possible to use a verification fun of arity 4, giving the user fun
access to both encoded and decoded versions of the certificate. This is
desirable as a workaround for encoding errors preventing re-encoding from
being reliable. This also saves some work load if the encoded version is
needed.
Note that calling public_key:pkix_path_validation/3 with only decoded certs
is not recommended, due to the decoding workarounds, although it will work as
long as the workarounds are not needed.
If the decoded version is needed before thecall to `public_key` it is
recommend to use the combined_cert- type to avoid double decoding. Note that
the path validation algorithm itself always needs both the encoded and decoded
versions of the certs.
The ssl implementation will now benefit from using this function instead of
emulating the verify_fun/4.

# ssl-11.2.2
Note! The ssl-11.2.2 application _cannot_ be applied independently of other
applications on an arbitrary OTP 27 installation.
On a full OTP 27 installation, also the following runtime
dependency has to be satisfied:
-- public_key-1.16.2 (first satisfied in OTP 27.1)
## Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- A race in the kTLS flavour of SSL distribution has been fixed so that
`inet_drv.c` doesn't read ahead too much data, which could cause the kTLS
encryption to be activated too late when some encrypted data had already been
read into the `inet_drv.c` buffer as unencrypted.

## Improvements and New Features
- All TLS-1.3 terminations are now graceful (previous TLS version terminations
already were).
Own Id: OTP-17848
- It is now possible to use a verification fun of arity 4, giving the user fun
access to both encoded and decoded versions of the certificate. This is
desirable as a workaround for encoding errors preventing re-encoding from
being reliable. This also saves some work load if the encoded version is
needed.
Note that calling public_key:pkix_path_validation/3 with only decoded certs
is not recommended, due to the decoding workarounds, although it will work as
long as the workarounds are not needed.
If the decoded version is needed before thecall to `public_key` it is
recommend to use the combined_cert- type to avoid double decoding. Note that
the path validation algorithm itself always needs both the encoded and decoded
versions of the certs.
The ssl implementation will now benefit from using this function instead of
emulating the verify_fun/4.

caching.

- Multiple issues have been corrected in the markdown parser that creates
documentation for the shell.
The parser was incorrectly parsing formatted markdown (either bold or italics)
within parenthesis. This used to not be shown correctly in the shell
documentation `(_Option._)`, which was displayed verbatim. This fix makes
`Option.` to appear in italics.
The markdown parser is also used in the creation of other documentation
formats, so this was a bug that affected other generated documentation
formats.

*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
- The `zip` module has been updated with support for:
- zip64 archives - Archives larger than 4GB or with more than 2^32 entries.
- extended timestamps - Higher resolution and in UTC.
- UID/GID - Save and extract the original UID/GID.
- Fixes so that permission mode attributes are correctly read and set for
files in archives.
- zip:list_dir/2 now also returns directories, not only files. (You can
disable this behaviour by using the option `skip_directories`).
Various bugs in the original implementation have also been fixed, such as:
- Correctly encode and decode the DOS timestamps for entries within an archive
(that is the non-extended timestamp).
- Fix DOS timestamps to be set to localtime instead of UTC (use extended
timestamps for UTC timestamps).
- Use the unix file attributes read from disk when creating archives instead
of setting everything to 644.
