common_test-1.15.1 #

The common_test-1.15.1 application can be applied independently of other applications on a full OTP 20 installation.

OTP-14489

In OTP-20.0, the behavior of c, make, and ct_make was changed so that in some cases the beam files by default would be written to the directory where the source files were found. This is now changed back to the old behavior so beam files are by default written to current directory.

Full runtime dependencies of common_test-1.15.1: compiler-6.0, crypto-3.6, debugger-4.1, erts-7.0, inets-6.0, kernel-4.0, observer-2.1, runtime_tools-1.8.16, sasl-2.4.2, snmp-5.1.2, ssh-4.0, stdlib-2.5, syntax_tools-1.7, tools-2.8, xmerl-1.3.8

erts-9.0.1 #

The erts-9.0.1 application can be applied independently of other applications on a full OTP 20 installation.

OTP-13939
Application(s):
erts, kernel

Fixed a bug in gen_tcp:send where it never returned when repeatedly called on a remotely closed TCP socket.

OTP-14481
Application(s):
erts

Fixed segfault that could happen during cleanup of aborted erlang:port_command/3 calls. A port_command is aborted if the port is closed at the same time as the port_command was issued. This bug was introduced in erts-8.0.

OTP-14484
Application(s):
erts

Fixed implementation of statistics(wall_clock) and statistics(runtime) so that values do not unnecessarily wrap due to the emulator. Note that the values returned by statistics(runtime) may still wrap due to limitations in the underlying functionality provided by the operating system.

Full runtime dependencies of erts-9.0.1: kernel-5.0, sasl-3.0.1, stdlib-3.0

runtime_tools-1.12.1 #

The runtime_tools-1.12.1 application can be applied independently of other applications on a full OTP 20 installation.

OTP-14479
Application(s):
runtime_tools

A faulty encoding comment was added when saving trace patterns to file. This is now corrected.
