1.8 SASL 2.1.5
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
-

Own Id: OTP-6499
1.9 SASL 2.1.4
Improvements and New Features
-
Added an option {outdir,Dir} to the functions in systools, making it possible to specify in which directory a boot script, relup file or release package file should be placed.
Also, when using systools:make_tar/2 to create a release package file, the boot script, relup file and sys.config are now searched for also in the current working directory and any directory specified by the path option, not only in the directory of the .rel file.
As part of the work some minor bugs have been corrected:
-
systools:make_script/1,2 now returns error if the .script and/or .boot file could not be opened for writing, not ok.
-
systools:make_tar/1,2 can now handle a RelName argument which includes a path. Previously this would cause the .rel file to end up in the wrong directory in the resulting tar file.
-
A documentation error for systools:make_tar/1,2: The .rel file is placed in the releases directory in the tar file, not releases/RelVsn.

- eval_appup_script/4Own Id: OTP-5858
