Erlang/OTP 17.1 is a service release on the 17 track with mostly bug
fixes, but it does contain a number of new features and characteristics
improvements as well.
Some highlights of the release are:
- crypto: Add aes_cfb8 cypher to crypto:block_encrypt and block_decrypt.
- diameter: Add result code counters for CEA, DWA, and DPA.
- erts: The following built in functions in the erlang and binary modules
now bump an appropriate amount of reductions and yield when out of
reductions:
binary_to_list/1, binary_to_list/3, bitstring_to_list/1,
list_to_binary/1,
iolist_to_binary/1, list_to_bitstring/1, binary:list_to_bin/1
- hipe: Handle Maps instructions get_map_elements, put_map_assoc,
put_map_exact in the HiPE native code compiler.
- mnesia: The time for inserting locks for a transaction with large
number of locks is reduced significantly.
- ssh: Option max_sessions added to ssh:daemon/{2,3}.
- stdlib: Add maps:get/3 to maps module. The function will return the
supplied default value if the key does not exist in the map.
