[erlang-questions] Fwd: [ANN] Erlang/OTP 17.3 has been released

[Mahesh Paolini-Subramanya]

"common_test: Experimental support for running Quickcheck and PropEr tests
from common_test suites is added. Examples of usage in the suites for the
ssh and inets applications"

Huh?
The docs (http://erldocs.com/maint/common_test/ct_property_test.html) are
delightfully cryptic, as is the example code (
https://github.com/erlang/otp/blob/maint/lib/ssh/test/ssh_property_test_SUITE.erl
)

So, what *does* this do that I wasn't already doing vis-a-vis PropEr?

cheers

Erlang/OTP 17.3 has been released.

Erlang/OTP 17.3 is a service release on the 17 track with mostly bug fixes,
but it does contain a number of new features and characteristics
improvements as well.

Some highlights of the release are:

   - erts: Introduced enif_schedule_nif() which allows a long running NIF
   to be broken into separate NIF invocations without the help of a wrapper
   function written in Erlang
   - common_test: Experimental support for running Quickcheck and PropEr
   tests from common_test suites is added. Examples of usage in the suites for
   the ssh and inets applications
   - Bugfixes and minor new features in applications such as asn1, erts,
   kernel, stdlib, diameter, ssh, mnesia, ssl, jinterface, ...
