 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 --- erts-10.7.2.13 --------------------------------------------------
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

 Note! The erts-10.7.2.13 application *cannot* be applied
       independently of other applications on an arbitrary OTP 22
       installation.

       On a full OTP 22 installation, also the following runtime
       dependency has to be satisfied:
       -- kernel-6.5.1 (first satisfied in OTP 22.2)


 --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---

  OTP-17470    Application(s): erts
               Related Id(s): ERIERL-657

               Fixed a bug in zlib where decompression would crash
               with data_error on some valid inputs. The bug could
               also cause extraction from a zip archive using
               zip:extract() to fail.


  OTP-17472    Application(s): erts
               Related Id(s): PR-4932

               A call to erlang:cancel_timer(_, [{info, false}]) could
               cause the calling process to block forever in the call.
               Note that only the synchronous version of the call
               (that is, the async option is false) in combination
               with the info option set to false was effected by this
               bug.


  OTP-17493    Application(s): erts

               Microstate accounting (msacc) and os:perf_counter()
               unintentionally used system time instead of monotonic
               time for time measurements on a lot of systems. These
               systems were all non x86/x86_64 systems or x86/x86_64
               systems without a reliable and constant rdtsc
               instruction.

               The lock counting (lcnt) built runtime system also
               unintentionally used system time instead of monotonic
               time for time measurements on all systems.


  OTP-17500    Application(s): erts
               Related Id(s): GH-4809

               Simultaneous calls to
               erlang:system_flag(schedulers_online, _) could cause
               callers to end up in a suspended state forever.


  OTP-17513    Application(s): erts
               Related Id(s): GH-4964, PR-5015

               Fix rare race bug in memory management of distribution
               entries. Have been seen to cause VM crash when massive
               number of repeated concurrent failing connection
               attempts.


  OTP-17560    Application(s): erts
               Related Id(s): GH-5116

               Fix buffer overrun problem in the tty driver. The
               problem happens on some platforms when using the CTRL+R
               functionality of newshell with very long strings in the
               history.


  OTP-17568    Application(s): erts
               Related Id(s): PR-4940

               Fix race-condition that could cause a crash when
               tracing scheduling or garbage collections on a process
               that was running on a dirty scheduler.


  OTP-17585    Application(s): erts
               Related Id(s): GH-5150

               Fix rare bug where re:run would crash/return invalid
               results when given a subbinary as subject.

               This bug has existed since Erlang/OTP 20.0.


  OTP-17594    Application(s): erts

               binary_to_term/1,2 is now more resilient against
               corrupted binaries containing maps in the external
               format.


 Full runtime dependencies of erts-10.7.2.13: kernel-6.5.1, sasl-3.3,
 stdlib-3.5


 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 --- kernel-6.5.2.4 --------------------------------------------------
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

 Note! The kernel-6.5.2.4 application *cannot* be applied
       independently of other applications on an arbitrary OTP 22
       installation.

       On a full OTP 22 installation, also the following runtime
       dependency has to be satisfied:
       -- erts-10.6 (first satisfied in OTP 22.2)


 --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---

  OTP-17476    Application(s): kernel
               Related Id(s): GH-4931, PR-4934

               Fixed rare bug that could cause net_kernel process to
               hang for ever. Have seen to happen with massive number
               of TLS connections while remote nodes are restarting.
               Bug exists since OTP-22.0.


 Full runtime dependencies of kernel-6.5.2.4: erts-10.6, sasl-3.0,
 stdlib-3.5


 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 --- stdlib-3.12.1.2 -------------------------------------------------
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

 Note! The stdlib-3.12.1.2 application *cannot* be applied
       independently of other applications on an arbitrary OTP 22
       installation.

       On a full OTP 22 installation, also the following runtime
       dependency has to be satisfied:
       -- erts-10.7.1 (first satisfied in OTP 22.3.1)


 --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---

  OTP-17525    Application(s): stdlib
               Related Id(s): GH-5053

               Fix a bug that could cause a crash when formatting
               tuples using the control sequences p or P and limiting
               the output with the option chars_limit.


 Full runtime dependencies of stdlib-3.12.1.2: compiler-5.0,
 crypto-3.3, erts-10.7.1, kernel-6.0, sasl-3.0
