  OTP-18746    Application(s): stdlib
               Related Id(s): PR-7313, PR-7456

               *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

               A warning for (accidental use of) Triple-Quoted Strings
               has been implemented as per EEP 64.


 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 --- POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITIES -------------------------------------
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

  OTP-18696    Application(s): stdlib

               Pattern matching and equivalence (=:=, =/=) comparisons
               on 0.0 will now raise a warning, as it will no longer
               be considered equivalent to -0.0 in OTP 27.

               If a match on 0.0 specifically is desired (distinct
               from -0.0), the warning can be suppressed by writing
               +0.0 instead.

               The arithmetic comparison operators are unaffected,
               including arithmetic equality (==).

  OTP-18647    Application(s): erts
               Related Id(s): PR-7595

               A process optimized for parallel signal delivery could
               under some circumstances lose wakeup information. That
               is, the processes was not woken up to take care of the
               signal, so the signal would not be taken care of until
               the process was woken by another signal. Only processes
               configured with message_queue_data set to off_heap
               utilize this optimization.


  OTP-18706    Application(s): erts
               Related Id(s): ERIERL-979, GH-7413, PR-7595

               Delivery time of message signals to a process not
               executing any receive expressions could become very
               long, potentially infinite. For example, a process
               checking for messages using process_info(self(),
               message_queue_len) or process_info(self(), messages)
               and avoiding to execute a receive expression matching
               on messages could be very slow in detecting new
               messages. Note that you are still discouraged from
               using process_info() this way. A process that wants to
               check if there are messages available to handle should
               execute a receive expression matching on messages.


  OTP-18732    Application(s): erts
               Related Id(s): GH-7444, PR-7458

               Fix bug causing "magic" references in a compressed ETS
               table to not keep the referred object alive. The
               symptom would be the referred object being garbage
               collected prematurely and the reference appearing
               stale, not referring to anything. Examples of such
               magically referred objects are atomics and NIF
               resources.


  OTP-18737    Application(s): erts
               Related Id(s): PR-7595

               A constant flow of incoming non-message signals could
               prevent a process needing to execute dirty from doing
               so.


  OTP-18752    Application(s): erts
               Related Id(s): PR-7633

               The cleanup operation of not yet delivered signals to a
               terminated process yielded excessively.

  OTP-18704    Application(s): inets
               Related Id(s): ERIERL-962, OTP-18688, PR-7513

               With this change, error report generated by httpd
               during connection setup contains socket type
               information.


  OTP-18708    Application(s): inets
               Related Id(s): ERIERL-962, OTP-18688

               Stop and restart of the httpd server in the Inets
               application has been refactored to a more synchronous
               and OTP supervisor friendly approach.

               This should increase stability and for example avoid a
               supervisor report from httpd_connection_sup about
               killed child process(es) in some cases when stopping or
               restarting httpd.

  OTP-18576    Application(s): compiler

               Fixed a bug where a failing bsl expression in a guard
               threw an exception instead of causing the guard to
               fail.


  OTP-18581    Application(s): compiler
               Related Id(s): GH-7251

               Fixed a bug that would case the validator to reject
               legal code.


  OTP-18583    Application(s): compiler
               Related Id(s): GH-7259

               The compiler could re-order clauses matching binaries
               so that the incorrect clause would match. That could
               only happen for code that used the option
               {error_location,line} or for code without line or
               column number information (e.g. generated by a parse
               transform).


  OTP-18593    Application(s): compiler
               Related Id(s): GH-7252

               Complex guard expression using the or operator and
               guard BIFs that can fail could sometimes be miscompiled
               so that the guard would succeed even if a call to a
               guard BIF failed.


  OTP-18600    Application(s): compiler
               Related Id(s): GH-7248

               With optimizations disabled, a try/catch construct
               could return an incorrect value.


  OTP-18601    Application(s): compiler

               In rare circumstance, a combination of binary
               construction and binary_part/3 would cause the compiler
               to generate unsafe code that would crash the runtime
               system.


  OTP-18617    Application(s): compiler
               Related Id(s): GH-7338

               The compiler could be very slow when compiling guards
               with multiple guard tests separated with 'or' or ';'.


  OTP-18619    Application(s): compiler
               Related Id(s): GH-7339

               Complex guard expressions using 'or' and map updates

  OTP-18597    Application(s): erts

               Constructing a binary segment not aligned with a byte
               boundary, with a size not fitting in 31 bits, and with
               a value not fitting in a 64-bit word could crash the

               If a runtime system which was starting the distribution

               referring to a node with the same nodename/creation
               pair that the runtime system was about to use, these
               already existing pids, ports, or references would not
               work as expected in various situations after the node
               had gone alive. This could only occur if the runtime
               system was communicated such pids, ports, or references
               prior to the distribution was started. That is, it was
               extremely unlikely to happen unless the distribution
               was started dynamically and was even then very unlikely

               nodename/creation pair that it is about to use. If such
               are found another creation will be chosen in order to

               The old option skip_external_dtd is still valid and the
               same as {external_entities, none} and
               {fail_undeclared_ref, false} but just affects DTD's and
               not other external references.
