[Stalled]
* er/ei-decode_msg (erl_interface) (2010-03-11) 1 commit
- Add function to decode distribution header (864091a)
Needs documentation and test cases.
Action expected from: Topic author
* jp/dependencies_makefile (compiler, erts) (2010-02-14) 3 commits
- squash! eliminate dialyzer warning (434e2ca)
- squash! fix snprintf for Windows (bf2708d)

Action expected from: Björn Gustavsson (the reviewer)
* jn/gen_stream (stdlib) (2010-07-15) 2 commits
- Track gen_stream processes directly for accurate test results (38a4083)
- Patch dev to reproduce jn/gen_stream (7694a74)
. Add new gen_stream behaviour for efficiently consuming serial
streams (65f3db8)
This topic branch has failing test cases.
shell_SUITE:start_restricted_from_shell;
We have now tested with and without this topic branch and when
it is present that test case fails. We consider it proved
to be guilty. The test case does not fail when run standalone
so it seems to be tricky... Also, some of its own test cases
fail sporadicly apparently since the assumption there shoul
be no more processes after the test case does not hold;
probably a timing issue.
Action expected from: Topic author.

- Change lib/gs/src/tool_utils.erl to select multiple browsers other

Action expected from: Topic author or anyone else with an interest to
advance the topic

- Add flag-based setting for 'erts_de_busy_limit' constant (67ed9ab)
This topic branch has multiple issues described in this email:
http://www.erlang.org/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3:mss:1303:201008:ldciadjdmjednikemjch
Action expected from: Topic author.
