Own Id: OTP-5588
1.2 Tools 2.4.3
1.2.1 Improvements and New Features
-
It is now possible to encrypt the debug information in
Beam files, to help keep the source code secret. See the
documentation for compile on how to provide the key for
encrypting, and the documentation for beam_lib on how to
provide the key for decryption so that tools such as the
Debugger, Xref, or Cover can be used.
The beam_lib:chunks/2
functions now accepts an
additional chunk type 'compile_info
' to retrieve
the compilation information directly as a term. (Thanks
to Tobias Lindahl.)

Own Id: OTP-5418
1.4 Tools 2.4.1

Own Id: OTP-5071

Own Id: OTP-5305
1.5 Tools 2.4
1.5.1 Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
-
The erlang emacs mode now properly handles strings that
have $ or ^ as the last character.
Own Id: OTP-4697
-
Xref
: The unresolved arity (-1) is now recognized
in analyses and queries.
Own Id: OTP-4778
-
cover
does no longer hang if an interface function
is called on a remote node - it returns
{error,not_main_node}
Own Id: OTP-5031
-
fprof
: Time spent in the last function in a chain,
i.e. a function which did not call another function, and
the time when a process was scheduled out, was charged on
the above function. This resulted in own time in many
cases being bigger than acc time since the time a process
was scheduled out was charged on the function from which
the process was scheduled out. This is now corrected.
Own Id: OTP-5073
-
Previous patch from open source messed up \M-q so part of
that patch was backed out.
Own Id: OTP-5074
-
cover
: Added "Exclude Included Functions". If
"real code" is included in a modules which is cover
compiled, there will be no bumps for lines in the
included file. Earlier this would cause faulty bumps for
lines in the module, i.e. if the code was on line 4 in
the included file it would produce a bump for line 4 in
the module. Lines in included files are now just
disregarded.

1.5.2 Improvements and New Features
-
Added support for try-catch to the erlang-mode. However
there are still some known problems with some of the more
advanced variants especially including separate
of-clauses.
Own Id: OTP-4594
-
Improvments for support of emacs 21 contributed by Dave
Love. The bulk of the changes are actually cosmetic
commentary/doc fixes. The significant ones make it play
better with Emacs 21 with up-to-date facilities. In
particular, support for compilation error messages from
an inferior erl (as opposed to batch compilation) works
in the released Emacs 21, and currently with the
development Emacs.
Own Id: OTP-5019
-
Added a skeletons for an erlang test-suites for both the
ts-frontend and the ct-frontend ( this frontend is
Ericsson internal). Also altered some of the old
skeletons to get a uniform look and feel.
Own Id: OTP-5058
-
The Erlang mode for Emacs now supports the new gaurd
is_boolean
Own Id: OTP-5059
-
cover
: Ajustments to handle new syntax of
try/catch
