Great job!<br>
<br>
Are you going to release OTP 17.6?<br>

17.5.6.1 in that case, and nothing planned yet.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Erlang/OTP 18.0 <span></span>has been released<br>
--------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
Erlang/OTP 18.0 is a new major release with new features,
quite a few (characteristics) improvements, as well as some
incompatibilities. <br>
A non functional but major change this release is the change
of license to APL 2.0 (Apache Public License).<br>
<br>
Some highlights of the release are:<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li>Starting from 18.0 Erlang/OTP is released under the APL
2.0 (Apache Public License)<br>
</li>
<li>erts: The time functionality has been extended. <br>
This includes a new API for time, as well as "time warp"
modes which alters the behavior when system time changes.
You are strongly encouraged to use the new API instead of
the old API based on <span>erlang</span>:now/0. <span>erlang</span>:now/0
has been deprecated since it is a scalability bottleneck.
<br>
For more information see the Time and Time Correction
chapter of the ERTS User's Guide. Here is a link <a
moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/erts/time_correction.html">http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/erts/time_correction.html</a>
<br>
</li>
<li>erts: Beside the API changes and time warp modes a lot
of scalability and performance improvements regarding time
management has been made. Examples are: </li>
<ul>
<li>scheduler specific timer wheels, </li>
<li>scheduler specific BIF timer management, </li>
<li>parallel retrieval of monotonic time and system time
on OS:es that support it.</li>
</ul>
<li>erts: The previously introduced "eager check I/O"
feature is now enabled by default.</li>
<li>erts/compiler: enhanced support for maps. Big maps new
uses a HAMT (Hash Array Mapped Trie) representation
internally which makes them more efficient. There is now
also support for variables as map keys. </li>
<li>dialyzer: The -dialyzer() attribute can be used for
suppressing warnings <br>
in a module by specifying functions or warning options. <br>
It can also be used for requesting warnings in a module. <br>
</li>
<li>ssl: Remove default support for SSL-3.0 and added
padding check for TLS-1.0 due to the Poodle vulnerability.</li>
<li>ssl: Remove default support for RC4 cipher suites, as
they are consider too weak.</li>
<li>stdlib: Allow maps for supervisor flags and child specs</li>
<li>stdlib: New functions in ets:</li>
<ul>
<li>take/2. Works the same as ets:delete/2 but<br>
also returns the deleted object(s).</li>
<li>ets:update_counter/4 with a default object as<br>
argument<br>
</li>
</ul>
</ul>

<p><b>IMPORTANT INFO when building your own code with this OTP
release<br>
</b><br>
Since <span>erlang</span>:now is deprecated your build
might stop if you are using<br>
"warnings as errors".<br>
To let the build through you can turn of warnings for
deprecated functions<br>
by setting an environment variable like this:<br>
export ERL_COMPILER_OPTIONS=nowarn_deprecated_function<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>You find the source code at <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://github.com" target="_blank">github.com</a> in
the official <span>Erlang</span> repository.<br>
