erlang: updated to 27.0.1
OTP-27.0.1
Improvements and New Features
Bump ex_doc version to v0.34.1 and fix copyright in published docs to have
correct year.
compiler-8.5.1
The compiler-8.5.1 application can be applied independently of other
applications on a full OTP 27 installation.
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
One of the compiler's optimization passes would get very slow when compiling
certain modules. The compiler will now automatically disable that pass for
input that would trigger the slowdown.
Fix +deterministic to work properly with documentation attributes.
Full runtime dependencies of compiler-8.5.1
crypto-5.1, erts-13.0, kernel-8.4, stdlib-6.0
edoc-1.3.1
The edoc-1.3.1 application can be applied independently of other applications on
a full OTP 27 installation.
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
Fix broken makefile dependency when building HTML documentation.
Full runtime dependencies of edoc-1.3.1
erts-11.0, inets-5.10, kernel-7.0, stdlib-4.0, syntax_tools-2.0, xmerl-1.3.7
erts-15.0.1
The erts-15.0.1 application can be applied independently of other applications
on a full OTP 27 installation.
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
In rare circumstances the JIT could do an unsafe in-place update of a tuple.
When a port command crashed in the inet driver during gen_tcp:send/2, a
monitor 'DOWN' message could be left lingering in the caller's mailbox. This
has now been fixed.
'DOWN' messages originating from a monitored port, contained the atom
process instead of the atom port as the third element when the exit reason
was not an immediate term.
Fix so that the options to enable Transparent Huge Page alignment of the
Erlang VM executable are only applied to the Erlang VM and not other native
programs such as erlc and dialyzer. This bug was introduced in Erlang/OTP
27.0.
When no time warp mode was enabled, a smaller Erlang monotonic time could
be read than a previously read time, i.e., breaking the monotonic property.
The runtime system will abort when detecting an issue like this since OTP
24.3.4.17 and OTP 25.0.
Up until OTP 25 no time warp mode is the default. As of OTP 26 multi time
warp mode is the default.
When calling trace:function(Session, _, true, [meta]) the meta tracer was
incorrectly set to be the calling process. Now it's set to the session tracer
as expected.

kernel-9.0, sasl-3.3, stdlib-4.1
kernel-10.0.1
The kernel-10.0.1 application can be applied independently of other applications
on a full OTP 27 installation.
Improvements and New Features
Polish the logger documentation.
Full runtime dependencies of kernel-10.0.1

applications on a full OTP 27 installation.
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
Fix bug in dnsName constraint check, could cause valid cert to be considered
bad during path validation.
Full runtime dependencies of public_key-1.16.1
asn1-3.0, crypto-4.6, erts-6.0, kernel-3.0, stdlib-3.5
ssh-5.2.1

a full OTP 27 installation.
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
With this change, race condition between connection closing and automatic
window adjustment is fixed.
Full runtime dependencies of ssh-5.2.1
crypto-5.0, erts-14.0, kernel-9.0, public_key-1.6.1, runtime_tools-1.15.1,
stdlib-5.0, stdlib-6.0
ssl-11.2.1
The ssl-11.2.1 application can be applied independently of other applications on
a full OTP 27 installation.
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
Check for TLS-1.3 support should check minimum requirements.
If both TLS-1.3 and TLS-1.2 is supported and TLS-1.2 negotiated convert
TLS-1.3 ECDSA schemes to TLS-1.2 hash and signature pairs for increased
interoperability.
TLS-1.3 negotiation now uses SNI based options correctly instead of ignoring
them.
Improvements and New Features
Make it easier to distinguish between a invalid signature and unsupported
signature.
Enhance ALERT logs to help understand what causes the alert.
When the default value for signature_algs is used, default the
signature_algs_cert to the default value + rsa_pkcs1_sha1 to allow this
algorithms for certificates but not for the TLS protocol. This is for better
interoperability. If signature_algs is set explicitly signature_algs_cert must
also be set explicitly if they should be different.

crypto-5.0, erts-15.0, inets-5.10.7, kernel-9.0, public_key-1.15,
runtime_tools-1.15.1, stdlib-6.0
stdlib-6.0.1
The stdlib-6.0.1 application can be applied independently of other applications
on a full OTP 27 installation.
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
Fix so that missing -doc({file, File}) files only result in a warning and
not an error.
Fixed json bugs, json:encode_key_value_list/2 did not generate arrays
and json:decode/3 did not invoke the user callback for 0.
lang/erlang: Fix ctype(3) misuse.
lang/erlang: Fix cross-build. 1. Perl is not actually needed at run-time -- it's a build-time tool dependency. 2. Erlang depends on a native build of itself to cross-build. 3. Need to pass through erl_xcomp_sysroot=/ to pacify configure. Revbump because this ditches the run-time Perl dependency. Otherwise, no change to native builds.
erlang: Spell "version" properly.
erlang: Only use kernel-poll when erlang finds the implementation acceptable.
erlang*: update to 26.2.1
Contains a Terrapin fix for erlang ssh.
26.2.1
---------------------------------------------------------------------
--- POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITIES -------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
OTP-18897 Application(s): ssh
With this change (being response to CVE-2023-48795),
ssh can negotiate "strict KEX" OpenSSH extension with
peers supporting it; also
'[email protected]' algorithm becomes a
less preferred cipher.
If strict KEX availability cannot be ensured on both
connection sides, affected encryption modes(CHACHA and
CBC) can be disabled with standard ssh configuration.
This will provide protection against vulnerability, but
at a cost of affecting interoperability. See
Configuring algorithms in SSH.

erlang: Fix build on NetBSD
Update to 25.2. From the changelog:
Potential incompatibilities:
- The inet:setopts/2 {reuseaddr, true} option will now be ignored on
Windows unless the socket is an UDP socket. For more information see
the documentation of the reuseaddr option part of the documentation of
inet:setopts/2. Prior to OTP 25 the {reuseaddr, true} option was
ignored for all sockets on Windows, but as of OTP 25.0 this was
changed so that it was not ignored for any sockets.

-- Disabling of the distribution on a node
-- Gathering of memory allocator information using the
instrument module
-- Enabling, disabling, and gathering of msacc
information
-- Delivery of 'CHANGE' messages when time offset is
monitored
-- A call to erlang:cancel_timer()

erlang: fix non-hipe builds Restore some PLIST content state from prior to the 23.2.4 update, which mistakenly moved some hipe-related files that get built universally to the PLIST.hipe list. The "--disable-hipe" option does not impact everything. Build tested with the hipe option both enabled and disabled. This should fix build breakages, e.g., NetBSD/aarch64. (Separately, it's kind of unfortunate that this package uses both PLIST variables and separate PLIST files to segment content driven by options. It should really use one approach or the other consistently, but I haven't touched that here.)
erlang: Update to 23.2.2 I am only committing this to unbreak the package post-autoconf-update. Regardless, changelog for 23.2: https://erlang.org/download/OTP-23.2.README
*: bump PKGREVISION for perl-5.32.
erlang, amavisd, policyd: remove redundant replace-interpreter Since do-configure-pre-hook already depends on replace-interpreter, there is no point in making any other stage depend on that as well. At best, it has no effect. At worst it creates a hard-to-find difference between builds that run "bmake install" directly and builds that split the build into "bmake configure && bmake build && bmake install", as bulk builds do.
erlang*: Update to 22.2.7. Highlights ========== erts: o The Kernel application's User's Guide now contains a Logger Cookbook with common usage patterns. o Numerous improvements in the new socket and net modules Standard libraries: o common_test: ct_property_test logging is improved o ssl: Correct handling of unordered chains so that it works as expected Tools: o Emacs erlang-mode function that lets the user open the documentation for an Erlang/OTP function in an Emacs buffer has been improved. Users will be asked if they want the man pages downloaded if they are not present in the system.
*: Recursive revision bump for openssl 1.1.1.
erlang: Update to 22.1.7
Potential Incompatibilities
Mnesia: Transactions with sticky locks could with async_asym transactions be committed in the wrong order, since asym transactions 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 ,first realeased in OTP-19.0.
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.{rel, Name, Vsn, RelApps, Opts}.
Highlights
Compiler:
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.
Standard libraries:
SSL: Basic support for TLS 1.3 Client for experimental use. For more information see the Standards Compliance chapter of the User's Guide.
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. cipher_info/1 functions returns maps with information about the hash or cipher in the argument.
lang/erlang: write _VERSIONS variable in a single line In the previous version, pkglint would want to indent the continuation line with a tab. To prevent this, the variable assignment is now printed in its canonical format. Just like humans, pkglint does not read the "do not edit" notice at the top of the file. Maybe it should.

Add a new pollset that is made to handle sockets that
use {active, true} or {active, N}. The new pollset will
not be polled by a pollthread, but instead polled by a
normal scheduler.
This change was made because of the overhead associated
with constantly having to re-apply the ONESHOT
mechanism on fds that all input events were
interesting.
The new pollset is only active on platforms that
support concurrent kernel poll updates, i.e. Linux and
BSD.

OTP-15364 Application(s): kernel
A new function, logger:update_handler_config/3 is
added, and the handler callback changing_config now has
a new argument, SetOrUpdate, which indicates if the
configuration change comes from set_handler_config/2,3
or update_handler_config/2,3.
This allows the handler to consistently merge the new
configuration with the old (if the change comes from
update_handler_config/2,3) or with the default (if the
change comes from set_handler_config/2,3).
The built-in handlers logger_std_h and
logger_disk_log_h are updated accordingly. A bug which
could cause inconsistency between the handlers'
internal state and the stored configuration is also
corrected.

Related Id(s): ERIERL-220
A bug in ASN.1 BER decoding has been fixed. When
decoding a recursively enclosed term the length was not
propagated to that term decoding, so if the length of
the enclosed term was longer than the enclosing that
error was not detected.
A hard coded C stack limitation for decoding recursive
ASN.1 terms has been introduced. This is currently set
to 8 kWords giving a nesting depth of about 1000
levels. Deeper terms can not be decoded, which should
not be much of a real world limitation.

Conversion of (agent) Audit Trail Log (ATL) failed due
to invalid log entries.
The conversion aborted completely midway because the
ATL contained invalid entries. The conversion has been
improved so that it now firstly handles encountered
errors and write an informative message (into the
converted stream) and secondly keeps count of the
number of successful or failed entry conversions. See
log_to_txt for more info.
The reason the ATL contained invalid entries have also
been fixed. The reason was that for some outgoing
messages (not response):
-- encrypted (v3 messages)
Was logged "as is" (encrypted) without the info to
decrypt, making conversion impossible (which was the
reason the log contained bad entries).
-- un-encrypted
Was not logged at all.

the engine just is loaded once and the following calls
just returns a reference to it. This is done by add the
ID to the internal OpenSSL list and check if it is
already registered when the function is called.
Added ensure_engine_unloaded/1/2 to unload engines
loaded with ensure_engine_loaded.
Then some more utility functions are added.

Recursive bump for perl5-5.28.0
*: Move SUBST_STAGE from post-patch to pre-configure Performing substitutions during post-patch breaks tools such as mkpatches, making it very difficult to regenerate correct patches after making changes, and often leading to substituted string replacements being committed.
lang/erlang*: Update to 21.0
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.
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.
lang/erlang: Avoid RELRO check fail on the megaco driver.
Update lang/erlang* to 20.2. Some highlights: crypto, ssl: - The crypto API is extended to use private/public keys stored in an Engine for sign/verify or encrypt/decrypt operations. - The ssl application provides an API to use this new engine concept in TLS. ssh: - SSH can now fetch the host key from the private keys stored in an Engine. See the crypto application for details about Engines. ssl: - A new command line option -ssl_dist_optfile has been added to facilitate specifying the many options needed when using SSL as the distribution protocol. stdlib: - Improve performance of the new string functionality when handling ASCII characters. Full release notes: http://www.erlang.org/download/otp_src_20.2.readme
lang/erlang: Fix incorrect internal consistency failure for binary matching code. Bump PKGREVISION.
erlang: Compile via CC wrapper to ensure correct flags. Fixes SSP build of crypto_callback library. Bump PKGREVISION.

A purge of a module will - not have to wait for completion of all ongoing dirty NIF calls. - erts: Improved accuracy of timeouts on MacOS X. - kernel: Add net_kernel:setopts/2 and net_kernel:getopts/2 to - control options for distribution sockets in runtime. - asn1: Compiling multiple ASN.1 modules in the same directory with - parallel make (make -j) should now be safe. - httpd: support for PUT and DELETE in mod_esi - ~30 contributions since 19.0 You can find the Release Notes with more detailed info at http://www.erlang.org/download/otp_src_19.1.readme
Use GCC -shared on SunOS. Fixes shared libraries. Bump PKGREVISION.
Update lang/erlang to 19.0 (R19)
- compiler, stdlib:
- New preprocessor macros ?FUNCTION_NAME, ?FUNCTION_ARITY
- New preprocessor directives -error(Term) and -warning(Term) to
cause a compilation error or warning, respectively.
- gen_statem a new state machine behavior
- mnesia_ext: plugin of external storage solutions to mnesia
- crypto: uses EVP interface in OpenSSL resulting in generally
better performance and support for HW acceleration
- ssh: performance improvements, uses the new gen_statem behavior
- ssl: enhanced error log messages
- dialyzer: the support for maps is very much extended both the
type specification syntax and the type analysis.
- erts:

Some highlights of the release are: - New statistics info about runnable and active processes & ports. - Time warp improvements: dbg:p/2 and erlang:trace/3 with monotonic_timestamp | strict_monotonic_timestamp. - Introduced a validation callback for heart. - The module overload in sasl has been deprecated. - ~90 contributions since 18.2 Full release notes: http://erlang.org/download/otp_src_18.3.readme
Bump PKGREVISION for security/openssl ABI bump.
Use OPSYSVARS.
Update lang/erlang to 18.1. Some highlights of the release are: - ssl: Add possibility to downgrade an SSL/TLS connection to a tcp connection, and give back the socket control to a user process. - ssh: The following new key exchange algorithms are implemented: 'ecdh-sha2-nistp256', 'ecdh-sha2-nistp384', 'ecdh-sha2-nistp521', 'diffie-hellman-group14-sha1', 'diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1' and 'diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256'. This raises the security level considerably. - kernel,stdlib,sasl: A mechanism for limiting the amount of text that the built-in error logger events will produce has been introduced. It is useful for limiting both the size of log files and the CPU time used to produce them. Full release notes: http://www.erlang.org/download/otp_src_18.1.readme
Now that _STRIPFLAG_INSTALL is disabled by default on Darwin, remove manual settings of INSTALL_UNSTRIPPED=yes for Darwin in individual packages.
Don't strip on Darwin, fails on dyntrace.o, and enable kernel poll. Both patches from Steven Williamson.
Fix forgotten LICENSE change, bump PKGREVISION.
Update erlang to 18.0.
- Starting from 18.0 Erlang/OTP is released under the APL 2.0
- erts: The time functionality has been extended. This includes a new API
for time, as well as "time warp" modes which alters the behavior when
system time changes. You are strongly encouraged to use the new API
instead of the old API based on erlang:now/0. erlang:now/0 has been
deprecated since it is a scalability bottleneck.
- erts: Beside the API changes and time warp modes a lot of scalability
and performance improvements regarding time management has been made
- erts: The previously introduced "eager check I/O" feature is now enabled
by default.
- erts/compiler: enhanced support for maps. Big maps new uses a HAMT
(Hash Array Mapped Trie) representation internally which makes them more
efficient. There is now also support for variables as map keys.
- dialyzer: The -dialyzer() attribute can be used for suppressing warnings
in a module by specifying functions or warning options.
- ssl: Remove default support for SSL-3.0 and added padding check
for TLS-1.0 due to the Poodle vulnerability.
- ssl: Remove default support for RC4 cipher suites, as they are consider
too weak.
- stdlib: Allow maps for supervisor flags and child specs
- stdlib: New functions in ets:
- take/2. Works the same as ets:delete/2 but
also returns the deleted object(s).
- ets:update_counter/4 with a default object as
argument

From https://github.com/erlang/otp/pull/46#issuecomment-21719585 "Since b29ecbd (OTP-10418, R15B03) Erlang does not compile anymore with old versions of GCC that do not have atomic ops builtins on platforms where there is no native ethread implementation (e.g. ARM): (...) Please note however that I will be merging this branch as well, which will mean that you have to explicitly tell configure that you intend to use the fallback atomic operations though --disable-native-ethr-impls or --disable-smp-require-native-atomics." Translated: On NetBSD-5.1 (with gcc-4.1.3) the erlang package didn't compile because of > ../include/internal/gcc/ethr_membar.h:49:4: error: > #error "No __sync_val_compare_and_swap" Adding the abovementioned option --disable-native-ethr-impls make the Erlang runtime system use the original (now fallback) code. This should maybe be an pkg option, but for now this has to do.

Update to Erlang/OTP R16B (designated as 16.1 in pkgsrc).
R16B is a major new release of Erlang/OTP.
Detailed information on changes can be fetched at
http://www.erlang.org/download/otp_src_R16B.readme
--- HIGHLIGHTS ----------------------------------------------------------
OTP-7786 == ssh ==
Added User Guide for the SSH application
OTP-9892 == erts ==
Process optimizations. The most notable:
-- New internal process table implementation allowing for
both parallel reads as well as writes. Especially read
operations have become really cheap. This reduce contention
in various situations. For example when, spawning processes,
terminating processes, sending messages, etc.
-- Optimizations of run queue management reducing contention.
-- Optimizations of process state changes reducing
contention.
These changes imply changes of the characteristics the
system. Most notable: changed timing in the system.
OTP-9974 == erts ==
Non-blocking code loading. Earlier when an Erlang module was
loaded, all other execution in the VM were halted while the
load operation was carried out in single threaded mode. Now
modules are loaded without blocking the VM. Processes may
continue executing undisturbed in parallel during the entire
load operation. The load operation is completed by making the
loaded code visible to all processes in a consistent way with
one single atomic instruction. Non-blocking code loading will
improve realtime characteristics when modules are
loaded/upgraded on a running SMP system.
OTP-10256 == inets ==
httpc: The HTTP client now supports HTTPS through proxies
OTP-10336 == erts ==
Major port improvements. The most notable:
-- New internal port table implementation allowing for both
parallel reads as well as writes. Especially read operations
have become really cheap.This reduce contention in various
situations. For example when, creating ports, terminating
ports, etc.
-- Dynamic allocation of port structures. This allow for a
much larger maximum amount of ports allowed as a default. The
previous default of 1024 has been raised to 65536. Maximum
amount of ports can be set using the +Q command line flag of
erl(1). The previously used environment variable
ERL_MAX_PORTS has been deprecated and scheduled for removal
in OTP-R17.
-- Major rewrite of scheduling of port tasks. Major benefits
of the rewrite are reduced contention on run queue locks, and
reduced amount of memory allocation operations needed. The
rewrite was also necessary in order to make it possible to
schedule signals from processes to ports.
-- Improved internal thread progress functionality for easy
management of unmanaged threads. This improvement was
necessary for the rewrite of the port task scheduling.
-- Rewrite of all process to port signal implementations in
order to make it possible to schedule those operations. All
port operations can now be scheduled which allows for reduced
lock contention on the port lock as well as truly
asynchronous communication with ports.
-- Optimized lookup of port handles from drivers.
-- Optimized driver lookup when creating ports.
-- Preemptable erlang:ports/0 BIF.
-- Improving responsiveness by bumping reductions for a
process calling a driver callback directly.
These changes imply changes of the characteristics of the
system. The most notable:
-- Order of signal delivery -- The previous implementation of
the VM has delivered signals from processes to ports in a
synchronous stricter fashion than required by the language.
As of ERTS version 5.10, signals are truly asynchronously
delivered. The order of signal delivery still adheres to the
requirements of the language, but only to the requirements.
That is, some signal sequences that previously always were
delivered in one specific order may now from time to time be
delivered in different orders. This may cause Erlang programs
that have made false assumptions about signal delivery order
to fail even though they previously succeeded. For more
information about signal ordering guarantees, see the chapter
on communication in the ERTS user's guide. The +n command
line flag of erl(1) can be helpful when trying to find
signaling order bugs in Erlang code that have been exposed by
these changes.
-- Latency of signals sent from processes to ports -- Signals
from processes to ports where previously always delivered
immediately. This kept latency for such communication to a
minimum, but it could cause lock contention which was very
expensive for the system as a whole. In order to keep this
latency low also in the future, most signals from processes
to ports are by default still delivered immediately as long
as no conflicts occur. Such conflicts include not being able
to acquire the port lock, but also include other conflicts.
When a conflict occur, the signal will be scheduled for
delivery at a later time. A scheduled signal delivery may
cause a higher latency for this specific communication, but
improves the overall performance of the system since it
reduce lock contention between schedulers. The default
behavior of only scheduling delivery of these signals on
conflict can be changed by passing the +spp command line flag
to erl(1). The behavior can also be changed on port basis
using the parallelism option of the open_port/2 BIF.
-- Execution time of the erlang:ports/0 BIF -- Since
erlang:ports/0 now can be preempted, the responsiveness of
the system as a whole has been improved. A call to
erlang:ports/0 may, however, take a much longer time to
complete than before. How much longer time heavily depends on
the system load.
-- Reduction cost of calling driver callbacks -- Calling a
driver callback is quite costly. This was previously not
reflected in reduction cost at all. Since the reduction cost
now has increased, a process performing lots of direct driver
calls will be scheduled out more frequently than before.
Potential incompatibilities:
-- driver_send_term() has been deprecated and has been
scheduled for removal in OTP-R17. Replace usage of
driver_send_term() with usage of erl_drv_send_term().
-- driver_output_term() has been deprecated and has been
scheduled for removal in OTP-R17. Replace usage of
driver_output_term() with usage of erl_drv_output_term().
-- The new function erl_drv_busy_msgq_limits() has been added
in order to able to control management of port queues.
The driver API version has been bumped to 2.1 from 2.0 due to
the above changes in the driver API.
OTP-10410 == asn1 ==
The options for the ASN.1 compiler has been drastically
simplified. The backend is chosen by using ber, per, or uper.
The options optimize, nif, and driver are no longer needed.
The old options will still work, but will issue a warning.
Another change is that generated encode/2 function will
always return a binary (some backends used to return an
iolist).
OTP-10588 == asn1 ==
The ASN.1 compiler will now always include necessary run-time
functions in the generated Erlang modules (except for
asn1rt_nif which is still neeeded). If the option 'inline' is
used the ASN.1 compiler will generate a warning. But if
'{inline,OutputFile}' is use, the ASN.1 compiler will refuse
to compile the file. (Use a .set.asn file if you need to
remove the output file.)
The 'BIT STRING' type will now be decoded as Erlang
bitstrings by default. Use the new legacy_bit_string option
to encode as lists of ones and zeroes. (The
compact_bit_string option still works as before.)
Open types are now always returned as binaries (when there is
no information allowing them to be decoded).
--- POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITIES -----------------------------------------
OTP-9052 == common_test ==
Removed depricated run_test program, use ct_run instead.
OTP-9881 == common_test ==
It is now possible to let a test specification include other
test specifications. Included specs can either be joined with
the source spec (and all other joined specs), resulting in
one single test run, or they can be executed in separate test
runs. Also, a start flag/option, join_specs, has been
introduced, to be used in combination with the spec option.
With join_specs, Common Test can be told to either join
multiple test specifications, or run them separately. Without
join_specs, the latter behaviour is default. Note that this
is a change compared to earlier versions of Common Test,
where specifications could only be joined. More information
can be found in the Running Tests chapter in the User's Guide
(see the Test Specifications section).
OTP-10117 == inviso ==
The inviso application has been removed.
OTP-10170 == erts pman ==
Tuple funs (deprecated in R15B) are no longer supported.
OTP-10195 == edoc ==
Since EDoc 0.7.7 (R14B02) separate values of union types can
be annotated. However, the parser has hitherto chosen not to
add the necessary parentheses due to backwards compatibility.
From this release on code traversing the output of
edoc_parser needs to take care of parentheses around separate
values of union types. Examples of such code are layout
modules and doclet modules.
OTP-10336 == erts ==
Major port improvements. The most notable:
-- New internal port table implementation allowing for both
parallel reads as well as writes. Especially read operations
have become really cheap.This reduce contention in various
situations. For example when, creating ports, terminating
ports, etc.
-- Dynamic allocation of port structures. This allow for a
much larger maximum amount of ports allowed as a default. The

OTP-10410 == asn1 ==

The options optimize, nif, and driver are no longer needed.
The old options will still work, but will issue a warning.
Another change is that generated encode/2 function will
always return a binary (some backends used to return an
iolist).
OTP-10417 == kernel sasl ==
It is no longer possible to have {Mod,Vsn} in the 'modules'
list in a .app file.
This was earlier possible, although never documented in the
.app file reference manual. It was however visible in the
documentation of application:load/[1,2], where the same term
as in a .app file can be used as the first argument.
The possibility has been removed since the Vsn part was never
used.
OTP-10451 == ssl ==
Remove filter mechanisms that made error messages backwards
compatible with old ssl but hid information about what
actually happened.
This does not break the documented API however other reason
terms may be returned, so code that matches on the reason
part of {error, Reason} may fail.
OTP-10490 == stdlib ==
If a child process fails in its start function, then the
error reason was earlier only reported as an error report
from the error_handler, and supervisor:start_link would only
return {error,shutdown}. This has been changed so the
supervisor will now return {error,{shutdown,Reason}}, where
Reason identifies the failing child and its error reason.
(Thanks to Tomas Pihl)
OTP-10523 == tools ==
A new function, cover:flush(Nodes), is added which will fetch
data from remote nodes without stopping cover on those nodes.
This is used by test_server and common_test when it is safe
to assume that the node will be terminated after the test
anyway. The purpose is to avoid processes crashing when
re-loading the original beam if the processes is still
running old code.
Remote nodes will now continue to count code coverage if the
connection to the main node is broken. Earlier, a broken
connection would cause the cover_server on the remote node to
die and thus any still cover compiled modules would cause
process crash when trying to insert cover data in ets tables
that used to exist on the cover_server. The new functionality
also involves synchronization with the main node if the nodes
are reconnected.
OTP-10588 == asn1 ==
The ASN.1 compiler will now always include necessary run-time
functions in the generated Erlang modules (except for
asn1rt_nif which is still neeeded). If the option 'inline' is
used the ASN.1 compiler will generate a warning. But if
'{inline,OutputFile}' is use, the ASN.1 compiler will refuse
to compile the file. (Use a .set.asn file if you need to
remove the output file.)
The 'BIT STRING' type will now be decoded as Erlang
bitstrings by default. Use the new legacy_bit_string option
to encode as lists of ones and zeroes. (The
compact_bit_string option still works as before.)
Open types are now always returned as binaries (when there is
no information allowing them to be decoded).
OTP-10613 == ssl ==
Removed deprecated function ssl:pid/0, it has been pointless
since R14 but has been keep for backwards compatibility.
OTP-10633 == erts ==
Erlang specification 4.7.3 defines max tuple size to 65535
elements It is now enforced to no more than 16777215 elements
(arity 24 bits)
Previous edge cases (28 bits) were not validated and could
cause undefined behaviour.
OTP-10647 == erts ==
The previous default of a maximum of 32768 simultaneous
processes has been raised to 262144. This value can be
changed using the the +P command line flag of erl(1). Note
that the value passed now is considered as a hint, and that
actual value chosen in most cases will be a power of two.
OTP-10812 == stdlib ==
filelib:wildcard("some/relative/path/*.beam", Path) would
fail to match any file. That is, filelib:wildcard/2 would not
work if the first component of the pattern did not contain
any wildcard characters. (A previous attempt to fix the
problem in R15B02 seems to have made matters worse.)
(Thanks to Samuel Rivas and Tuncer Ayaz.)
There is also an incompatible change to the Path argument. It
is no longer allowed to be a binary.
OTP-10872 == erts ==
As of ERTS-5.10/OTP-R16A node names passed in the EPMD
protocol are required to be encoded in UTF-8. Since EPMD
previously accepted latin1 encoded node names this is an
incompatibility. However, since Erlang nodes always have
required characters in node names to be 7-bit ASCII
characters (and still do require this), this incompatibility
should not effect anyone using EPMD as an Erlang Port Mapper
Daemon.
Bump all packages for perl-5.18, that a) refer 'perl' in their Makefile, or b) have a directory name of p5-*, or c) have any dependency on any p5-* package Like last time, where this caused no complaints.
PKGREVISION bumps for the security/openssl 1.0.1d update.
Update to Erlang/OTP R15B03-1
Changes in R15B03-1
After the release of R15B03 a very unfortunate bug in ssl:ssl_accept/2
(accept with timeout) was detected. This bug will have negative impact
on a number of popular http servers and server frameworks written in
Erlang.
The differences from R15B03 are in ssl-5.1.2 and erts-5.9.3.1.

Bump all packages that use perl, or depend on a p5-* package, or are called p5-*. I hope that's all of them.
Drop superfluous PKG_DESTDIR_SUPPORT, "user-destdir" is default these days.
Update to Erlang/OTP R15B01
Presumably fixes PR pkg/46297
Changes in Erlang/OTP R15B01
Highlights:
* Added erlang:statistics(scheduler_wall_time) to ensure
correct determination of scheduler utilization. Measuring
scheduler utilization is strongly preferred over CPU
utilization, since CPU utilization gives very poor
indications of actual scheduler/vm usage.
* Changed ssh implementation to use the public_key application
for all public key handling. This is also a first step for
enabling a callback API for supplying public keys and
handling keys protected with password phrases. Additionally
the test suites where improved so that they do not copy the
users keys to test server directories as this is a security
liability. Also ipv6 and file access issues found in the
process has been fixed.
* When an escript ends now all printout to standard output and
standard error gets out on the terminal. This bug has been
corrected by changing the behaviour of erlang:halt/0,1,
which should fix the same problem for other escript-like
applications, i.e. that data stored in the output port
driver buffers got lost when printing on a TTY and exiting
through erlang:halt/0,1. The BIF:s erlang:halt/0,1 has
gotten improved semantics and there is a new BIF
erlang:halt/2 to accomplish something like the old
semantics. See the documentation.
* The DTrace source patch from Scott Lystig Fritchie is
integrated in the source tree. Using an emulator with dtrace
probe is still not supported for production use, but may be
a valuable debugging tool.
* Added Torbjörn Törnkvists LDAP client as a new application
called eldap.
* Added options for the ssh client to support user keys files
that are password protected.
Changes in Erlang/OTP R15B
Highlights:
* Line number and filename information are now included in
exception backtraces. This information will be
pretty-printed in the shell and used in crash reports etc.
In practice it will be much easier to find where something
failed.
* The driver interface has been changed to enable 64-bit aware
drivers. Most importantly the return types for ErlDrvEntry
callbacks 'call' and 'control' has been changed which
require drivers to be changed.
* New in this release is the support for 64 bit Windows.
The self extracting installer can be found here.
* CommonTest hooks are now in a final supported version.
* There is a new GUI tool in the observer application which
integrates pman, etop, appmon and tv into one tool. The tool
does also contain functions for activating tracing in an easy way.
* The Erlang distribution can now be run over the new SSL implementation.
Changes in Erlang/OTP R15A
Notable changes:
OTP-9468 'Line numbers in exceptions'
OTP-9451 'Parallel make'
OTP-4779 A new GUI for Observer. Integrating pman, etop and tv into
observer with tracing facilities.
OTP-7775 A number of memory allocation optimizations have been
implemented. Most optimizations reduce contention caused by
synchronization between threads during allocation and
deallocation of memory. Most notably:
Synchronization of memory management in scheduler
specific allocator instances has been rewritten to
use lock-free synchronization.
Synchronization of memory management in scheduler
specific pre-allocators has been rewritten to use
lock-free synchronization.
The 'mseg_alloc' memory segment allocator now use
scheduler specific instances instead of one
instance. Apart from reducing contention this also
ensures that memory allocators always create memory
segments on the local NUMA node on a NUMA system.
OTP-9632 An ERTS internal, generic, many to one, lock-free
queue for communication between threads has been
introduced. The many to one scenario is very common in
ERTS, so it can be used in a lot of places in the
future. Currently it is used by scheduling of certain
jobs, and the async thread pool, but more uses are
planned for the future.
Drivers using the driver_async functionality are not
automatically locked to the system anymore, and can be
unloaded as any dynamically linked in driver.
Scheduling of ready async jobs is now also interleaved
in between other jobs. Previously all ready async jobs
were performed at once.
OTP-9631 The ERTS internal system block functionality has been
replaced by new functionality for blocking the system.
The old system block functionality had contention
issues and complexity issues. The new functionality
piggy-backs on thread progress tracking functionality
needed by newly introduced lock-free synchronization
in the runtime system. When the functionality for
blocking the system isn't used, there is more or less
no overhead at all. This since the functionality for
tracking thread progress is there and needed anyway.

Point MAINTAINER to [email protected] in the case where no
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
Recursive revision bump / recommended bump for gettext ABI change.
- Update Erlang to R10B-9. (The changes are innumerable, this package hasn't been updated in more than two years.) - Add a buildlink3.mk file. - Make the Java dependency optional, and disable this option by default (this will make erlang build in more bulk builds). Ok by wiz.
Back out my two previous commits -- they were committed on the wrong branch. Sorry.

Get rid of USE_PERL5. The new way to express needing the Perl executable around at either build-time or at run-time is: USE_TOOLS+= perl # build-time USE_TOOLS+= perl:run # run-time Also remove some places where perl5/buildlink3.mk was being included by a package Makefile, but all that the package wanted was the Perl executable.
Pass openssl location to configure script. From George Michaelson in PR 30607.
Massive cleanup of buildlink3.mk and builtin.mk files in pkgsrc.
Several changes are involved since they are all interrelated. These
changes affect about 1000 files.
The first major change is rewriting bsd.builtin.mk as well as all of
the builtin.mk files to follow the new example in bsd.builtin.mk.
The loop to include all of the builtin.mk files needed by the package
is moved from bsd.builtin.mk and into bsd.buildlink3.mk. bsd.builtin.mk
is now included by each of the individual builtin.mk files and provides
some common logic for all of the builtin.mk files. Currently, this
includes the computation for whether the native or pkgsrc version of
the package is preferred. This causes USE_BUILTIN.* to be correctly
set when one builtin.mk file includes another.
The second major change is teach the builtin.mk files to consider
files under ${LOCALBASE} to be from pkgsrc-controlled packages. Most
of the builtin.mk files test for the presence of built-in software by
checking for the existence of certain files, e.g. <pthread.h>, and we
now assume that if that file is under ${LOCALBASE}, then it must be
from pkgsrc. This modification is a nod toward LOCALBASE=/usr. The
exceptions to this new check are the X11 distribution packages, which
are handled specially as noted below.
The third major change is providing builtin.mk and version.mk files
for each of the X11 distribution packages in pkgsrc. The builtin.mk
file can detect whether the native X11 distribution is the same as
the one provided by pkgsrc, and the version.mk file computes the
version of the X11 distribution package, whether it's built-in or not.
The fourth major change is that the buildlink3.mk files for X11 packages
that install parts which are part of X11 distribution packages, e.g.
Xpm, Xcursor, etc., now use imake to query the X11 distribution for
whether the software is already provided by the X11 distribution.
This is more accurate than grepping for a symbol name in the imake
config files. Using imake required sprinkling various builtin-imake.mk
helper files into pkgsrc directories. These files are used as input
to imake since imake can't use stdin for that purpose.
The fifth major change is in how packages note that they use X11.
Instead of setting USE_X11, package Makefiles should now include
x11.buildlink3.mk instead. This causes the X11 package buildlink3
and builtin logic to be executed at the correct place for buildlink3.mk
and builtin.mk files that previously set USE_X11, and fixes packages
that relied on buildlink3.mk files to implicitly note that X11 is
needed. Package buildlink3.mk should also include x11.buildlink3.mk
when linking against the package libraries requires also linking
against the X11 libraries. Where it was obvious, redundant inclusions
of x11.buildlink3.mk have been removed.
Remove USE_GNU_TOOLS and replace with the correct USE_TOOLS definitions: USE_GNU_TOOLS -> USE_TOOLS awk -> gawk m4 -> gm4 make -> gmake sed -> gsed yacc -> bison
Remove USE_BUILDLINK3 and NO_BUILDLINK; these are no longer used.
Libtool fix for PR pkg/26633, and other issues. Update libtool to 1.5.10 in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.) Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and installing .la files. Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above via a buildlink3 include.
Make platform target used in the make match that used in the configure. Fixes build problems seen in the bulkbuilds.
This build is broken on NetBSD i386 2.0BETA (it looks for a "i386-unknown-netbsdelf2.0." directory when a "i386--netbsdelf" one is present. Someone who wants to read gmake files is going to have to fix that. That aside, its now equivalemtly broken with bl3 rather than bl2.
PKGREVISION bump after openssl-security-fix-update to 0.9.6m. Buildlink files: RECOMMENDED version changed to current version.
replace deprecated USE_GMAKE with USE_GNU_TOOLS+=make.
PKGREVISION++ after openssl update.
Back out last change related to moving ncurses/buildlink2.mk to curses.buildlink2.mk. This was wrong because we _really_ do want to express that we want _n_curses when we include the buildlink2.mk file. We should have a better way to say that the NetBSD curses doesn't quite work well enough. In fact, it's far better to depend on ncurses by default, and exceptionally note when it's okay to use NetBSD curses for specific packages. We will look into this again in the future.
move ncurses/buildlink2.mk to mk/curses.buildlink2.mk, as it provides support for base system curses/ncurses as well as ncurses itself. suggested by wiz.
This needs a java1.2 implementation
Update to version 9.2. This version is focused on improved performance and stability, rather than introducing new functionality, hence it is called R9C. Build Process NEW The build process has been improved so that it is possible to build Erlang/OTP from source even on Windows platforms. There is also a completely new installation program for Windows. Observer crashdump_viewer NEW A HTML based tool for browsing Erlang crashdumps. The tool can handle crashdumps from OTP R7B, R8B and R9B as well but there is additional information in the crashdumps for R9C. OTP_MIBs NEW The OTP mibs that where included in the SASL application have been moved to this new application otp_mibs. This is a step too create a pure core for Erlang/OTP that does not depend on specific, non-mainstream applications such as SNMP.

Initial import of erlang-9.1. Erlang is a programming language which has many features more commonly associated with an operating system than with a programming language: concurrent processes, scheduling, memory management, distribution, networking, etc. The initial open-source Erlang release contains the implementation of Erlang, as well as a large part of Ericsson's middleware for building distributed high-availability systems.
