New Erlang/OTP release with technical details, relevant for concurrent systems but less for AI/cloud primary interests.
Summary
Erlang/OTP 29.0 ships with unsafe function attributes, secure-by-default SSH (shell/exec disabled), and post-quantum x25519mlkem768 as default SSL key exchange. Experimental native records (EEP-79), multi-valued comprehensions, and JIT improvements for binary matching join new default warnings on catch, exported variables, and obsolete bool operators. The release also moves current directory to last in code path and drops 32-bit Windows builds.
