Good evening,
/OTP R10B has been published
I just wanted to let you know that Erlang/OTP R10B has been published. 
Erlang is a concurrency-oriented development environment that is 
particularly suited to develop scalable, distributed and fault-tolerant 
server applications.

This is a major release. Several improvements have been made to the 
Erlang environment:

- The performance has been increased regarding process management. The 
maximum number of simultaneous process on a given virtual machine has 
been increased. You can now create 268435456 lightweight processus.

- A new tutorial has been included in this release and is particularly 
useful to start programming with the Erlang environment.

- the try ... catch syntax has been added to the language

- A new syntax called "Query List Comprehensions" has been added. This 
syntax can be used to request the Mnesia database.

- Several new applications have been added: XMerl (XML parser) et Edoc 
(Erlang code documentation generator)

- The Erlang shell has been improved and now supports record directly in 
the shell.


This release can be downloaded from http://www.erlang.org/

Have fun !
