Check out the git tag OTP-29.0.1, and build a full OTP system including documentation. Apply one or more applications from this build as patches to your installation using the 'otp_patch_apply' tool. For information on install requirements, see descriptions for each application version below.

POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITIES

• 'public_key', Adhere to RFC 9525, and remove support for legacy fallback to check hostname against subject common name. Also improve error handling creating two separate errors for name constraint check for subject names and subject alternative names.

  'ssl'. Error handling is slightly changed to better reflect public_key behaviour.

compiler-10.0.1

The compiler-10.0.1 application can be applied independently of other applications on a full OTP 29 installation.

Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

• In rare circumstances, optimization of boolean expressions could invert the boolean value.

erts-17.0.1

The erts-17.0.1 application can be applied independently of other applications on a full OTP 29 installation.

Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

• Comparison of two native records could return an incorrect result or crash the runtime system.

The public_key-1.21.1 application can be applied independently of other applications on a full OTP 29 installation.

Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

• OCSP responder certificates are now checked for expiration before being accepted as authorized responders. Previously, expired or not-yet-valid responder certificates were incorrectly accepted when verifying OCSP responses.
