摘自：HighLights
Erlang Language and Run-time System
* Windows SMP
* Bitstrings and binary comprehensions
* tuple_size/1 and byte_size/1 and bit_size/1 BIF
* Literal lists, tuples, and binaries are no longer constructed at run-time, but are stored in a per-module constant pool
* The Erlang driver API has been extended with a portable POSIX thread
New Applications
* Test Server
* Common Test
* Percept
新版的增强感觉主要集中于“稳定”、“性能”及“成熟”。
很有稳步推进的感觉。
还有就是修了不少的bug.
javaeye上看到的“用Erlang开发的文档数据库系统CouchDB”是个什么东西，啥叫文档数据库啊

刚出来几天，patch就出现了～
修正如下几个issue：
OTP-7006 The SMP emulator on sparc64 erroneously used the sparc32
atomic and the sparc32 spinlock implementations which
caused it to crash.
OTP-7012 Matching an empty binary in a record and then using the
same record again could cause a compiler crash.
Example code that triggers the crash:
-record(r, {a,b}).
t(R) ->
#r{a = < <>>} = R,
R#r.b.
OTP-7013 file:read/2 and file:consult_stream/1,3 did not use an empty
prompt on I/O devices. This bug has now been corrected.
OTP-7014 configuring –enable-darwin-universal or –enable-darwin-64bit
on MacOSX could result in a non optimized emulator. Top level
configure script now corrected.
OTP-7015 configuring –with-gd did not produce correct include flags
for percept.
这一把 Release 搞的是不是有点仓促？for Windows 的运行不了，boot 文件有问题。
