 --- POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITIES -------------------------------------
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

  OTP-15225    Application(s): erts

               Fixed a bug causing some Erlang references to be
               inconsistently ordered. This could for example cause
               failure to look up certain elements with references as
               keys in search data structures. This bug was introduced
               in R13B02.

               Thanks to Simon Cornish for finding the bug and
               supplying a fix.


 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 --- compiler-7.2.3 --------------------------------------------------
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

 The compiler-7.2.3 application can be applied independently of other
 applications on a full OTP 21 installation.

 --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---

  OTP-15204    Application(s): compiler
               Related Id(s): ERL-679

               Fixed an issue where files compiled with the
               +deterministic option differed if they were compiled in
               a different directory but were otherwise identical.

 --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---

  OTP-15194    Application(s): crypto
               Related Id(s): ERL-673

               Fixed a node crash in crypto:compute_key(ecdh, ...)
               when passing a wrongly typed Others argument.

 The erts-10.0.5 application can be applied independently of other
 applications on a full OTP 21 installation.

 --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---

  OTP-15223    Application(s): erts

               Fixed a bug which caused an emulator crash when
               enif_send() was called by a NIF that executed on a
               dirty scheduler. The bug was either triggered when the
               NIF called enif_send() without a message environment,
               or when the process executing the NIF was send traced.


  OTP-15225    Application(s): erts

               *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

               Fixed a bug causing some Erlang references to be

  OTP-15156    Application(s): compiler
               Related Id(s): ERL-655

               In rare cases involving matching of binary literal
               strings, the compiler could optimize away code that
               should be executed.


  OTP-15157    Application(s): compiler

               There could be an internal consistency check failure
               when compiling code that called map_get(Key, Map) and
               then updated the same map.


  OTP-15166    Application(s): compiler
               Related Id(s): ERL-660

               In rare circumstances, the compiler could crash in

OTP-21.0

a0ae44f

OTP 21.0

Erlang/OTP 21 is a new major release with new features, improvements as well as incompatibilities.

Potential Incompatibilities

All Corba applications are now moved from the OTP repository
A new Corba repository will be created https://github.com/erlang
New applications ftp and tftp, moved from inets
ssl no longer supports 3_DES cipher suites or RSA-key exchange cipher suites by default
Erlang:monitor on a primitive node (erl_interface, jinterface, etc) will no longer fail with badarg exception. Instead a monitor will be created, but it will only supervise the connection to the node.

Highlights
Erts:

Enhanced IO scalability
Support for usage of distribution controller processes for alternative transports, routing etc
compact instructions on 64bit systems for code below 4GB 20% less memory for loaded code
Rewrite of the efile-driver with NIFs and "Dirty schedulers" resulting in faster file operations
non-smp VM removed
link and monitor optimized for scalability
os:getenv/putenv now work on thread-safe emulation. No longer in sync with libc getenv(3). Manual synchronization will be needed.

Compiler:

Misc compiler optimizations including contributions from the Elixir team resulting in 10% improvements in benchmarks
"Tuple calls" have been removed from the run-time system.
Code such as f({ok, Val}) -> {ok, Val} is now automatically rewritten to f({ok, Val} = Tuple) -> Tuple. this reduces code size, execution time, and removed GC pressure.
More information in stacktrace from a number of operators
erlang:get_stacktrace/0 deprecated to be replaced with try ... catch C:R:Stacktrace -> ...
Creation of small maps with literal keys optimized.
A new predefined macro OTP_RELEASE and preprocessor directives -if and -elif

Security:

DTLS is now supported in the SSL application
Enhanced support for distribution over TLS
"unsecure" ciphers removed from defaults in SSL and SSH.
A new option value defined to facilitate implementing exec servers. Old option kept for compatibility, but now gives errors on stderror.

Standard libraries:

New API for logging, logger
New uri_string module for parsing URIs according to "The standard"
New function lists:search(list,fun/1) -> {ok, Value} | false
Changed default behaviour of .erlang loading. escript, erlc, dialyzer and typer no longer load an .erlang at all.

For more details see

The service release contains mostly bug fixes and characteristics
improvements but also some new features.

- SSH can now fetch the host key from the private keys
  stored in an Engine. See the crypto application for
  details about Engines.
