<H2>1 Erl_interface Release Notes
</H2>
<P>This document describes the changes made to the Erl_interface application.

<A NAME="1.1.1"><!-- Empty --></A>
<H4>1.1.1 Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</H4>
<P>
<UL>
<LI>
The combination of xeon processors with 64bit x86
extensions and a 32bit linux could cause ei_decode_long
and ei_decode_longlong to fail for the value LONG_MIN and
LONGLONG_MIN. The conversion is now made more portable.

Different (and old) <CODE>config.guess</CODE> files in the
<CODE>erts</CODE> and <CODE>erl_interface</CODE> applications would
cause build problems on the new Intel-based iMacs.
(Thanks to Sebastion Strollo.)

pthread header and library mismatch on linux systems (at
least some SuSE and Debian) with both NPTL and

<H4>1.6.1 Improvements and New Features</H4>
<P>
<UL>
<LI>
Process identifiers and port identifiers have been
made more unique. Previously 18 bits were used as id in
the internal representation of process and port
identifiers. Now 28 bits are used. <BR>
The maximum
limit on the number of concurrently existing processes
due to the representation of pids has been increased to
268435456 processes. The same is true for ports. This
limit will at least on a 32-bit architecture be
impossible to reach due to memory shortage. <BR>
<STRONG>NOTE:</STRONG> By default, the <CODE>ERTS</CODE>, and the
<CODE>erl_interface</CODE>, <CODE>ei</CODE>, and <CODE>jinterface</CODE>
libraries are now only guaranteed to be compatible with
other Erlang/OTP components from the same release. It is
possible to set each component in compatibility mode of
an earlier release, though. See the documentation for
respective component on how to set it in compatibility
mode. <BR>
