The next Erlang/OTP version (R13B04) will be released on February 24:th. This is the first release after the introduction of the official Git repository at Github and it is amazing to notice that the number of contributions from the community has increased significantly. More than 25 contributors have provided 1 or more patches each until now. In addition to the contributions provided by the community we have the following examples of highlights in the release: The documentation can now be built from the source. The Native Implemented Functions (NIFs) are enhanced. The garbage collection of binaries is further enhanced. Support for user defined prompt in the shell. A small but useful new function. Enhanced cross compilation support

[Nov 25 2009] Erlang/OTP R13B03 has been released

Erlang/OTP R13B03 has been released. R13B03 is a service release for R13B. There are mostly error corrections, but also some new functionality. Some highlights in the R13B03 release are: Native Implemented Functions (NIFs) still experimental but very useful. Feedback is welcome. Beginning with this release we will maintain (and update on a daily basis) a GIT repository on GitHub. The intention is that this will make it easier for users to contribute with bugfixes and new functionality and also easier for us to receive the contributions. The documentation is built in a new way using xsltproc and Apache FOP. The layout is changed both in HTML and PDF versions. This is the first step, more changes and improvements will come in the following releases. A completely new erlang.org web site is also on its way but slightly delayed. Will be launched really soon now. Download the new release from the download page.
