Erlang/OTP 22.1

This release of Erlang/OTP can be built from source or installed using pre-built packages for your OS or third-party tools (such as kerl or asdf).

docker run -it erlang:22.1

Highlights #

OTP-13872
Application(s):
crypto

The Message Authentication Codes (MAC) CMAC, HMAC and Poly1305 are unified into common functions in the New Crypto API. See the manual for CRYPTO.

OTP-15431
Application(s):
ssl

Basic support for TLS 1.3 Client for experimental use. For more information see the Standards Compliance chapter of the User's Guide.

OTP-15738
Application(s):
erts
Related Id(s):
PR-2361

erlc can now automatically use a compile server to avoid starting an Erlang system for each file to be compiled in a multi-file project. See the documentation for how to enable it.

Potential Incompatibilities #

OTP-15510
Application(s):
stdlib

Debugging of time-outs in gen_statem has been improved. Starting a time-out is now logged in sys:log and sys:trace. Running time-outs are visible in server crash logs, and with sys:get_status. Due to this system events {start_timer, Action, State} and {insert_timout, Event, State} have been added, which may surprise tools that rely on the format of these events.

New features: The EventContent of a running time-out can be updated with {TimeoutType, update, NewEventContent}. Running time-outs can be cancelled with {TimeoutType, cancel} which is more readable than using Time = infinity.

OTP-15979
Application(s):
mnesia
Related Id(s):
ERL-768

Transactions with sticky locks could with async_asym transactions be committed in the wrong order, since asym transaction are spawned on the remote nodes.

To fix this bug the communication protocol between mnesia nodes had to be updated, thus mnesia will no longer be able to connect to nodes earlier than mnesia-4.14 , OTP-19.0.

OTP-22.1 #

OTP-16051
Application(s):
erl_docgen, otp

Update the documentation build support to handle FOP 2.1 .

common_test-1.18 #

The common_test-1.18 application can be applied independently of other applications on a full OTP 22 installation.

OTP-15863
Application(s):
common_test
Related Id(s):
ERIERL-370

If a ct hook is installed in the suite/0 function in a test suite, then the hook's terminate/1 function would be called several times without it's init/2 function being called first. This is now corrected.

OTP-15869
Application(s):
common_test
Related Id(s):
ERIERL-350

If init_per_testcase fails, the test itself is skipped. According to the documentation, it should be possible to change the result to failed in a hook function. The only available hook function in this case is post_init_per_testcase, but changing the return value there did not affect the test case result. This is now corrected.

OTP-15789
Application(s):
common_test

Add ct_netconfc support for NETCONF 1.1 (RFC 6241). The 1.1 base capability can be sent in hello, and RFC 6242 chunk framing is applied when both client and server advertise 1.1 support.

OTP-15934
Application(s):
common_test

Correct lib_dir paths in common_tests opaque data structure that is passed to ct_release_test callback modules in functions upgrade_init/2, upgrade_upgraded/2 and upgrade_downgraded/2. The incorrect paths may cause confusion when debugging although it will not cause any incorrect behavior on the part of common_test as it is currently not used.

Full runtime dependencies of common_test-1.18: compiler-6.0, crypto-3.6, debugger-4.1, erts-7.0, ftp-1.0.0, 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-3.5, syntax_tools-1.7, tools-2.8, xmerl-1.3.8

The implementation of crypto_one_time/4 is adjusted to match the type specification. The spec and the black-box behaviour of the function are unchanged.

Some details: Both the spec and the implementation were correct seen separately. But with both of them combined simultaneously with crypto_one_time/5 which was called by the implementation of crypto_one_time/4, an (obvious) error was detected by a Dialyzer with more thorough checking than usual.

OTP-15911

To get information of a connection_ref() from for example ssh:connect/3, there was previously one function available namely ssh:connection_info/2. This ticket adds ssh:connection_info/1 which returns all information.

For daemons (servers) started with for example ssh:daemon/2 the function ssh:daemon_info/1 returning all information was available. This ticket adds ssh:daemon_info/2 which returns only the information specified in the second argument.

The info of connections and of daemons now also includes the item 'options'. Only those options that does not have their default values are returned.

For a connection also the items 'algorithms' and 'channels' are added.

Correct error handling of TLS downgrade, possible return values form ssl:close/2 when downgrading is {ok, Port} or {error, Reason}, it could happen that only ok was returned instead of {error, closed} when downgrade failed due to that the peer closed the TCP connection.

The bug with ID ERL-717 has been fixed. The functions io:columns() and io:rows() only worked correctly inside interactive erlang shells before this fix. These functions returned {error,enotsup} before this fix even if stdout and stdin were connected to a terminal when they were invoked from an escript or a program started with e.g., erl -noshell.

Fixed handling of ".." and "@" in wildcards. ".." would only work when preceded by a literal pattern such as in "a/..", not when preceded by wildcard characters such as in "*/..". The combination "@/.." was also broken, and in addition "@" in a pattern could degrade performance of the wildcard matching.

*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

Debugging of time-outs in gen_statem has been improved. Starting a time-out is now logged in sys:log and sys:trace. Running time-outs are visible in server crash logs, and with sys:get_status. Due to this system events {start_timer, Action, State} and {insert_timout, Event, State} have been added, which may surprise tools that rely on the format of these events.

New features: The EventContent of a running time-out can be updated with {TimeoutType, update, NewEventContent}. Running time-outs can be cancelled with {TimeoutType, cancel} which is more readable than using Time = infinity.
