erts-10.3.5.13 #

Note! The erts-10.3.5.13 application *cannot* be applied independently of other applications on an arbitrary OTP 21 installation. On a full OTP 21 installation, also the following runtime dependencies have to be satisfied: -- kernel-6.1 (first satisfied in OTP 21.1) -- sasl-3.3 (first satisfied in OTP 21.2)

An unintentional reuse of an already used emulator internal event object could cause a wakeup signal to a thread to be lost. In worst case this could cause the runtime system to hang. This hang was however quite rare.

NIF threads and driver threads on non-Linux systems leaked internal resources when terminating. On Windows these resources were one event per thread. On most other systems one mutex and one condition variable per thread. On these other systems that also lacked pthread_cond_timedwait() also a pipe with its file descriptors was leaked.

Full runtime dependencies of erts-10.3.5.13: kernel-6.1, sasl-3.3, stdlib-3.5

ssl-9.2.3.7 #

The ssl-9.2.3.7 application can be applied independently of other applications on a full OTP 21 installation.

OTP-16764
Application(s):
ssl

Data deliver with ssl:recv/2,3 could fail for when using packet mode. This has been fixed by correcting the flow control handling of passive sockets when packet mode is used.

Full runtime dependencies of ssl-9.2.3.7: crypto-4.2, erts-10.0, inets-5.10.7, kernel-6.0, public_key-1.5, stdlib-3.5
