New Erlang R13B02 released

I'm pretty much addicted to Dialyzer, so the possibility to refer to types defined in another module (using the syntax Module:Type()) is pretty awesome. I didn't have time to see if they made anything faster, but the release notes seem to mention nothing about SMP changes and whatnot. They fixed compiler crashes, which is good (I got a few of these errors myself... getting the vm shut down when testing stuff is not the nicest thing ever!)

Then they updated a lot of stuff, but some people reported build errors on OSX 8.5.10 relating to WxErlang. The following fix has been suggested and it seems to work: http://groups.google.com/group/erlang-programming/browse_thr...

The following patch should also be applied to reltools if you ever plan on using it: http://www.erlang.org/download/patches/otp_src_R13B02_OTP-81... To quote Håkan Mattsson: In the new release of Reltool (0.5) there is a severe bug that may cause your source files to be deleted. The bug is triggered when you generate a target system with archive files and your library directories are given with absolute paths. (Library directories are given with the ERL_LIBS environment variable or with the lib_dirs configuration parameter.)
