Erlang 20
|
|
|
Erlang/OTP has been updated to version 20. Highlights from the changes introduced in v20 include:
|
|
|
so-called 'dirty schedulers' are available on systems with SMP;
|
|
|
atoms may now contain arbitrary Unicode characters (for example, 'здравствуй-你好');
|
|
|
Erlang applications can now handle some OS signals (SIGHUP, for example);
|
|
|
improved unicode support for strings;
|
|
|
the zlib module has been refactored and all its operations will now yield appropriately, allowing them to be used freely in concurrent applications.
|
|
|
Fedora's Erlang package maintainers have also improved the integration of Erlang with the rest of the system. Erlang developers can now benefit from:
|
|
|
improved logging to journald;
|
|
|
access to D-Bus from the erlang-dbus package;
|
|
|
improved Erlang Packaging Guidelines.
