OTP 24.1
Erlang/OTP 24.1 is the first maintenance patch release for OTP 24, with mostly
bug fixes as well as a few improvements.
Below are some highlights of the release:
Highlights
-
OTP: The Efficiency Guide has been extended with a chapter about maps.
-
Stdlib: Most output functions in the
io
module now print extra
error information when provided with invalid arguments.
The functions are:io:format
,io:fwrite
,io:put_chars
,
io:nl
andio:write
. -
Erts:
init:stop()
no longer unloads loaded code before
terminating the runtime system. On systems with slow
CPUs (such as Raspberry PI Zero), that can
significantly speed up termination of the runtime system.
