Recommended update: Erlang/OTP R10B-6

Erlang/OTP R10B-6 was released on Juny 22. It's a maintainance release with some bugfixes. Two of them are important for ejabberd operation, so if you are going to upgrade ejabberd or restart it, please consider updating Erlang/OTP to R10B-6 too.

The two relevant bugfixes for ejabberd are:

  • kernel
        OTP-5449  In case of a DNS lookup loop, inet_db:getbyname ends up
    	      building an infinite list. This has been fixed.
  • erts and kernel
        OTP-5582  A bug regarding tcp sockets which results in hanging
    	      gen_tcp:send/2 has been corrected. To encounter this bug you
    	      needed one process that read from a socket, one that wrote
    	      more date than the reader read out so the sender got
    	      suspended, and then the reader closed the socket. (Reported
    	      and diagnosed by Alexey Shchepin.)
    
    	      Updated the documentation regarding the second argument to
    	      gen_tcp:recv/2, the Length to receive.
