OTP 28.0-rc3
OTP 28.0-rc3
Erlang/OTP 28.0-rc3 is the third release candidate of before the OTP 28.0 release.
The intention with this release is to get feedback from our users.
All feedback is welcome, even if it is only to say that it works for you,
and that it installs as it should.
We encourage users to try it out and give us feedback either by creating an issue at
https://github.com/erlang/otp/issues or by posting to Erlang Forums.
All artifacts for the release can be downloaded from the Erlang/OTP Github release
and you can view the new documentation at https://erlang.org/documentation/doc-16-rc3/doc.
You can also install the latest release using kerl like this:
kerl build 28.0-rc3 28.0-rc3.
Starting with this release, a source Software Bill of Materials (SBOM)
will describe the release on the Github Releases page.
We welcome feedback on the SBOM.
Erlang/OTP 28 is a new major release with new features, improvements
as well as a few incompatibilities. Some of the new features are highlighted below.
Many thanks to all contributors!
Highlights for RC2
- Functionality making it possible for processes to enable reception of
priority messages has been introduced in accordance with EEP 76.
Highlights for RC1
New language features
-
Comprehensions have been extended with "zip generators" allowing
multiple generators to be run in parallel. For example,
[A+B || A <- [1,2,3] && B <- [4,5,6]]
will produce[5,7,9]
. -
Generators in comprehensions can now be strict, meaning that if
the generator pattern does not match, an exception will be raised
instead of silently ignore the value that didn't match. -
It is now possible to use any base for floating point numbers as per
EEP 75: Based Floating Point Literals.
Compiler and JIT improvements
-
For certain types of errors, the compiler can now suggest
corrections. For example, when attempting to use variableA
that
is not defined butA0
is, the compiler could emit the following
message:variable 'A' is unbound, did you mean 'A0'?
-
The size of an atom in the Erlang source code was limited to 255
bytes in previous releases, meaning that an atom containing only
emojis could contain only 63 emojis. While atoms are still only
allowed to contain 255 characters, the number of bytes is no longer
limited. -
The
warn_deprecated_catch
option enables warnings for use of
old-style catch expressions on the formcatch Expr
instead of the
moderntry
...catch
...end
. -
Provided that the map argument for a
maps:put/3
call is known to
the compiler to be a map, the compiler will replace such calls with
the corresponding update using the map syntax. -
Some BIFs with side-effects (such as
binary_to_atom/1
) are
optimized intry
...catch
in the same way as guard BIFs in
order to gain performance. -
The compilerβs alias analysis pass is now both faster and less
conservative, allowing optimizations of records and binary
construction to be applied in more cases.
ERTS
-
The
trace:system/3
function has been added. It has a similar
interface aserlang:system_monitor/2
but it also supports trace
sessions. -
os:set_signal/2
now supports setting handlers for theSIGWINCH
,
SIGCONT
, andSIGINFO
signals. -
The two new BIFs
erlang:processes_iterator/0
and
erlang:process_next/1
make it possible to iterate over the
process table in a way that scales better thanerlang:processes/0
.
Shell and terminal
-
The erl -noshell mode has been updated to have two sub modes called
raw
andcooked
, wherecooked
is the old default behaviour and
raw
can be used to bypass the line-editing support of the native
terminal. Usingraw
mode it is possible to read keystrokes as they
occur without the user having to press Enter. Also, theraw
mode
does not echo the typed characters to stdout. -
The shell now prints a help message explaining how to interrupt a
running command when stuck executing a command for longer than 5
seconds.
STDLIB
-
The
join(Binaries, Separator)
function that joins a list of
binaries has been added to thebinary
module. -
By default, sets created by module
sets
will now be represented as maps. -
Module
re
has
been updated to use the newer PCRE2 library instead of the PCRE library. -
There is a new
zstd
module that does Zstandard compression.
Dialyzer
- EEP 69: Nominal Types has been implemented.
SSL
- The data handling for tls-v1.3 has been optimized.
Emacs mode (in the Tools application)
- The
indent-region
in Emacs command will now handle multiline
strings better.
For more details about new features and potential incompatibilities see the README.

OTP 28.0-rc2
OTP 28.0-rc2
Erlang/OTP 28.0-rc2 is the second release candidate of three before the OTP 28.0 release.
The intention with this release is to get feedback from our users. All feedback is welcome, even if it is only to say that it works for you.
We encourage users to try it out and give us feedback either by creating an issue at https://github.com/erlang/otp/issues or by posting to Erlang Forums.
All artifacts for the release can be downloaded from the Erlang/OTP Github release and you can view the new documentation at https://erlang.org/documentation/doc-16-rc2/doc. You can also install the latest release using kerl like this:
kerl build 28.0-rc2 28.0-rc2.
Starting with this release, a source Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) will describe the release on the Github Releases page. We welcome
feedback on the SBOM.
Erlang/OTP 28 is a new major release with new features, improvements as well as a few incompatibilities. Some of the new features are
highlighted below.
Many thanks to all contributors!
Highlights for RC2
- Functionality making it possible for processes to enable reception of priority messages has been introduced in accordance with EEP 76.
Highlights for RC1
New language features
-
Comprehensions have been extended with "zip generators" allowing multiple generators to be run in parallel. For example,
[A+B || A <- [1,2,3] && B <- [4,5,6]]
will produce[5,7,9]
. -
Generators in comprehensions can now be strict, meaning that if the generator pattern does not match, an exception will be raised instead of silently ignore the value that didn't match.
-
It is now possible to use any base for floating point numbers as per EEP 75: Based Floating Point Literals.
Compiler and JIT improvements
-
For certain types of errors, the compiler can now suggest corrections. For example, when attempting to use variable
A
that is not defined butA0
is, the compiler could emit the following message:variable 'A' is unbound, did you mean 'A0'?
-
The size of an atom in the Erlang source code was limited to 255 bytes in previous releases, meaning that an atom containing only emojis could contain only 63 emojis. While atoms are still only allowed to contain 255 characters, the number of bytes is no longer limited.
-
The
warn_deprecated_catch
option enables warnings for use of old-style catch expressions on the formcatch Expr
instead of the moderntry
...catch
...end
. -
Provided that the map argument for a
maps:put/3
call is known to the compiler to be a map, the compiler will replace such calls with the corresponding update using the map syntax. -
Some BIFs with side-effects (such as
binary_to_atom/1
) are optimized intry
...catch
in the same way as guard BIFs in order to gain performance. -
The compilerβs alias analysis pass is now both faster and less conservative, allowing optimizations of records and binary construction to be applied in more cases.
ERTS
-
The
trace:system/3
function has been added. It has a similar interface aserlang:system_monitor/2
but it also supports trace sessions. -
os:set_signal/2
now supports setting handlers for theSIGWINCH
,SIGCONT
, andSIGINFO
signals. -
The two new BIFs
erlang:processes_iterator/0
anderlang:process_next/1
make it possible to iterate over the process table in a way that scales better thanerlang:processes/0
.
Shell and terminal
-
The erl -noshell mode has been updated to have two sub modes called
raw
andcooked
, wherecooked
is the old default behaviour andraw
can be used to bypass the line-editing support of the native terminal. Usingraw
mode it is possible to read keystrokes as they occur without the user having to press Enter. Also, theraw
mode does not echo the typed characters to stdout. -
The shell now prints a help message explaining how to interrupt a running command when stuck executing a command for longer than 5 seconds.
STDLIB
-
The
join(Binaries, Separator)
function that joins a list of binaries has been added to thebinary
module. -
By default, sets created by module
sets
will now be represented as maps. -
Module
re
has been updated to use the newer PCRE2 library instead of the PCRE library. -
There is a new
zstd
module that does Zstandard compression.
Dialyzer
- EEP 69: Nominal Types has been implemented.
SSL
- The data handling for tls-v1.3 has been optimized.
Emacs mode (in the Tools application)
- The
indent-region
in Emacs command will now handle multiline strings better.
For more details about new features and potential incompatibilities see the README.
OTP 27.3
OTP 27.3
Erlang/OTP 27.3 is the third maintenance patch package for OTP 27, with mostly bug fixes as well as improvements.
For details about bugfixes and potential incompatibilities see the Erlang 27.3 README
