Erlang/OTP 29.0
Erlang/OTP 29.0 is now available, marking a significant milestone with the inclusion of a Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler for both x86-64 and ARM64 architectures. This addition promises substantial performance improvements for Erlang programs. The release also introduces a new type system featuring gradual typing, allowing developers to add type annotations incrementally and catch type errors at compile time. Additionally, the documentation has been overhauled with better navigation and examples. The update is available for download from the official Erlang website and includes contributions from the community. Existing OTP users can upgrade via standard package managers or by building from source. This release is compatible with previous versions, though some deprecated features have been removed.
