<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;">I've been programming Erlang for some four years now. But I still don't understand how to keep up with and manage releases and patch packages.</p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;"> </p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;">I worked a bit with kerl at one point thanks to help from a kind person on the list, but I still don't understand how best to integrate kerl into my day-to-day development workflow and so I'm still writing code based on Erlang/OTP 19.</p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;"> </p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Is there anywhere in vast cyberspace a comprehensive tutorial that covers these fundamental issues and how best to keep applications up-to-date with latest and greatest versions of Erlang?</p>

<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Patch Package: OTP 21.1.1<br />Git Tag: OTP-21.1.1<br />Date: 2018-10-12<br />Trouble Report Id: OTP-14297, OTP-15318, OTP-15333, OTP-15335,<br /> OTP-15337, OTP-15342, OTP-15348<br />Seq num: ERIERL-242, ERL-689, ERL-737, ERL-738,<br /> ERL-747<br />System: OTP<br />Release: 21<br />Application: compiler-7.2.6, eldap-1.2.6, erts-10.1.1,<br /> ssl-9.0.3<br />Predecessor: OTP 21.1<br /><br /> Check out the git tag OTP-21.1.1, and build a full OTP system<br /> including documentation. Apply one or more applications from this<br /> build as patches to your installation using the 'otp_patch_apply'<br /> tool. For information on install requirements, see descriptions for<br /> each application version below.<br /><br /> ---------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> --- compiler-7.2.6 --------------------------------------------------<br /> ---------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /> The compiler-7.2.6 application can be applied independently of other<br /> applications on a full OTP 21 installation.<br /><br /> --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---<br /><br /> OTP-15335 Application(s): compiler<br /> Related Id(s): ERL-689, OTP-15219<br /><br /> In rare circumstances, the matched out tail of a binary<br /> could be the entire original binary. (There was partial<br /> correction to this problem in version 7.2.5 of the<br /> compiler application.)<br /><br /><br /> Full runtime dependencies of compiler-7.2.6: crypto-3.6, erts-9.0,<br /> hipe-3.12, kernel-4.0, stdlib-2.5<br /><br /><br /> ---------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> --- eldap-1.2.6 -----------------------------------------------------<br /> ---------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /> The eldap-1.2.6 application can be applied independently of other<br /> applications on a full OTP 21 installation.<br /><br /> --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---<br /><br /> OTP-15342 Application(s): eldap<br /> Related Id(s): ERIERL-242<br /><br /> A race condition at close could cause the eldap client<br /> to exit with a badarg message as cause.<br /><br /><br /> Full runtime dependencies of eldap-1.2.6: asn1-3.0, erts-6.0,<br /> kernel-3.0, ssl-5.3.4, stdlib-2.0<br /><br /><br /> ---------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> --- erts-10.1.1 -----------------------------------------------------<br /> ---------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /> Note! The erts-10.1.1 application can *not* be applied independently<br /> of other applications on an arbitrary OTP 21 installation.<br /><br /> On a full OTP 21 installation, also the following runtime<br /> dependency has to be satisfied:<br /> -- kernel-6.1 (first satisfied in OTP 21.1)<br /><br /><br /> --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---<br /><br /> OTP-14297 Application(s): erts<br /> Related Id(s): OTP-15141<br /><br /> A bug where the socket option 'pktoptions' caused a<br /> read of uninitialized memory has been fixed. Would<br /> cause malfunction on FreeBSD.<br /><br /><br /> OTP-15318 Application(s): erts<br /><br /> Fixed a memory leak on errors when reading files.<br /><br /><br /> OTP-15333 Application(s): erts<br /> Related Id(s): ERL-737<br /><br /> File access through UNC paths works again on Windows.<br /> This regression was introduced in OTP 21.<br /><br /><br /> Full runtime dependencies of erts-10.1.1: kernel-6.1, sasl-3.0.1,<br /> stdlib-3.5<br /><br /><br /> ---------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> --- ssl-9.0.3 -------------------------------------------------------<br /> ---------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /> The ssl-9.0.3 application can be applied independently of other<br /> applications on a full OTP 21 installation.<br /><br /> --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---<br /><br /> OTP-15337 Application(s): ssl<br /> Related Id(s): ERL-738<br /><br /> Correct alert handling with new TLS sender process,<br /> from ssl-9.0.2. CLOSE ALERTS could under some<br /> circumstances be encoded using an incorrect cipher<br /> state. This would cause the peer to regard them as<br /> unknown messages.<br /><br /><br /> OTP-15348 Application(s): ssl<br /> Related Id(s): ERL-747<br /><br /> Correct handling of socket packet option with new TLS<br /> sender process, from ssl-9.0.2. When changing the<br /> socket option {packet, 1|2|3|4} with ssl:setopts/2 the<br /> option must internally be propagated to the sender<br /> process as well as the reader process as this<br /> particular option also affects the data to be sent.<br /><br /><br /> Full runtime dependencies of ssl-9.0.3: crypto-4.2, erts-10.0,<br /> inets-5.10.7, kernel-6.0, public_key-1.5, stdlib-3.5<br /><br /><br /> ---------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> ---------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> ---------------------------------------------------------------------<br />_______________________________________________<br />erlang-questions mailing list<br />erlang-questions@erlang.org<br />http://erlang.org/mailman/listinfo/erlang-questions</p>
