OTP-15237 Application(s): erts
A race between termination of a process and resume of
the same process via erlang:resume_process/1 could
cause the VM to crash. This bug was introduced in erts
version 10.0 (OTP 21.0).
OTP-15269 Application(s): erts
Related Id(s): ERL-713
When tracing on running, in trace events could be lost
when a process was rescheduled between a dirty and a
normal scheduler.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

applications on a full OTP 21 installation.
--- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---
OTP-15233 Application(s): crypto
Update the crypto engine functions to handle multiple
loads of an engine.
engine_load/3/4 is updated so it doesn't add the engine
ID to OpenSSLs internal list of engines which makes it
possible to run the engine_load more than once if it
doesn't contain global data.
Added ensure_engine_loaded/2/3 which guarantees that
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.
engine_add/1, adds the engine to OpenSSL internal list
engine_remove/1, remove the engine from OpenSSL
internal list
engine_get_id/1, fetch the engines id
engine_get_name/1, fetch the engine name

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/putenvnow work on thread-safe emulation. No longer in sync withlibc 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 tof({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_RELEASEand preprocessor directives-ifand-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.
