Default branch: MAIN
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.
Full runtime dependencies of erts-15.0.1
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
crypto-5.0, erts-15.0, sasl-3.0, stdlib-6.0
public_key-1.16.1
The public_key-1.16.1 application can be applied independently of other
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
The ssh-5.2.1 application can be applied independently of other applications on
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.
Full runtime dependencies of ssl-11.2.1
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.
erlang: updated to 26.2.4 26.2.4 https://github.com/erlang/otp/releases/tag/OTP-26.2.4
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
'chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com' 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
--- OTP-26.2.1 ------------------------------------------------------

OTP-18903 Application(s): otp
Updated copyright and license information.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
--- erts-14.2.1 -----------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The erts-14.2.1 application can be applied independently of other
applications on a full OTP 26 installation.
--- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---
OTP-18902 Application(s): erts
Removed unnecessary PCRE source tar-ball.
26.2
Highlights #
process_info/2 now supports lookup of values for specific keys in the process dictionary.
Potential incompatibilities: #
common_test now returns an error when a suite with a badly defined group is executed.

erlang-16.1.3 (R16B03)
================================
Highlights:
- A new memory allocation feature called "super carrier" has been introduced.
It can for example be used for pre-allocation of all memory that the
runtime system should be able to use. It is enabled by passing the +MMscs
(size in MB) command line argument. For more information see
the documentation of the +MMsco, +MMscrfsd, +MMscrpm, +MMscs, +MMusac, and,
+Mlpm command line arguments in the erts_alloc(3) documentation.
- The ldap client eldap now supports the start_tls operation. This upgrades
an existing tcp connection to encryption using tls,
see eldap:start_tls/2 and /3.
- The ftp client (inets application) now supports ftp over tls (ftps).
Full changelog:

Fix a common mistake in many different packages: POSIX says that when using pax -rw, the destination directory must exist. pax in NetBSD creates it if not, pax in MirBSD complains. I read through all pkgsrc Makefiles that use pax and added an entry to INSTALLATION_DIRS, or an INSTALL_DATA_DIR invocation. I did not test all the changes but they should be fairly safe. If you notice any breakage because of this change, please contact me.
Drop superfluous PKG_DESTDIR_SUPPORT, "user-destdir" is default these days.
Follow Erlang/OTP update to R13B03.
Explicitly add pax dependency in those Makefiles that use it (or have patches to add it). Drop pax from the default USE_TOOLS list. Make bsdtar the default for those places that wanted gtar to extract long links etc, as bsdtar can be built of the tree.
Full DESTDIR support for erlang packages.
Update erlang, erland-doc and erlang-man to 12.0, aka R12B-0. This builds again on x86_64 platforms, is@ will test further. This release supports new language extensions bitstring and binary comprehensions. Other major changes are listed on <http://www.erlang.org/doc/highlights.html>. See <http://www.erlang.org/download/otp_src_R12B-0.readme> for full detail.
Fix dependency on erlang.
Import erlang-man, the manpages for Erlang.
