<h1>1 asn1 Release Notes</h1>
<p>This document describes the changes made to the asn1 application.</p>
<h3><a name="id65523">1.1
Asn1 1.8</a></h3>
<h4>Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
Encoding and decoding of integer ranges can now be done
with an upper bound larger than the previous limit of
16^10. The new upper bound in per encoding and decodings
for constrained whole numbers is 2^2040 (close to 16^508)</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-10128</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Per encoding/decoding now works correctly for single
value subtyping of an integer type where a subtype is a
predefined value. Previously a predefined value could
cause a non-valid range-check in the generated Erlang
code for per encoding/decoding due to a bug in the
constraint checking.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-10139</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Fix typo error in selected decode function (Thanks to
Artem Teslenko)</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-10152</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Better error indication when detecting unexpected tags
during decoding of BER encoded data.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-10186</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
asn1rt_check: Fix transform_to_EXTERNAL1990 for binary
input (Thanks to Harald Welte)</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-10233</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Improvements and New Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
Add support for multiple ExtensionAdditionGroups</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-10058</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Add support for extensible enumeration types in n2n
generated functions.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-10144</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="id60973">1.2
Asn1 1.7</a></h3>
<h4>Improvements and New Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
Some ASN.1 INTEGER type and SEQUENCE constructor variants
previously not handled by the ASN.1 compiler are now
correctly handled</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-9688</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
An INTEGER with a value constraint where unions are used
e.g. X1 ::= INTEGER (1..4 | 6 | 8 | 10 | 20) is not
handled correctly. For PER the value is encoded in wrong
number of bits.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-9946</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="id59332">1.3
Asn1 1.6.19</a></h3>
<h4>Improvements and New Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
The linked-in driver used for ber decode and per encode
has been replaced with nifs. To enable the usage of nifs
pass the nif option to erlc or asn1rt:compile when
compiling. If you previously used the linked-in driver,
you have to recompile your ASN1 modules with the current
version of asn1 application as the linked-in driver
modules have been removed.</p>
<p>
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-9419</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
A few of the heavy calculations which are done for
encoding and decoding operations when dealing with
SEQUENCE OF and DEFAULT in runtime have been moved to be
done in compile time instead.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-9440</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
When compiling an ASN.1 ber module with the +nif option,
the module will use a new nif for ber encoding,
increasing performance by about 5%.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-9441</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Tuple funs (a two-element tuple with a module name and a
function) are now officially deprecated and will be
removed in R16. Use '<span class="code">fun M:F/A</span>' instead. To make
you aware that your system uses tuple funs, the very
first time a tuple fun is applied, a warning will be sent
to the error logger.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-9649</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="id59411">1.4
Asn1 1.6.18</a></h3>
<h4>Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
Implement or fix -Werror option</p>
<p>
If -Werror is enabled and there are warnings no output
file is written. Also make sure that error/warning
reporting is consistent. (Thanks to Tuncer Ayaz)</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-9536</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="id59445">1.5
Asn1 1.6.17</a></h3>
<h4>Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
Test cases which started failing when timer:tc was
changed to not catch are corrected.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-9286</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
The bounds checking in the asn1_erl_driver when the
length value of a TLV is a Long Definite Length is
corrected. Thanks to Vance Shipley.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-9303</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="id59894">1.6
Asn1 1.6.16</a></h3>
<h4>Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
asn1ct: Make formatting of errors and warnings consistent</p>
<p>
Consistently format warning and error reports. Warning
and error options from erlc now also work in asnc1ct.
(thanks to Tuncer Ayaz)</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-9062</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Shut off some dialyzer warnings</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-9063</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Improvements and New Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
Crash in asn1ct_check, componentrelation_leadingattr
fixed. (Thanks to Stephane Pamelard for finding the bug)</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-9092</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="id59965">1.7
Asn1 1.6.15</a></h3>
<h4>Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
The encoding of ExtensionAdditionGroup (for PER and UPER)
is corrected.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-8866 Aux Id: OTP-8797, SEQ-11557 </p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
A race condition when several processes in parallel start
to do encode/decode using the driver could cause an error
log regarding crashing port owner process. This race is
now eliminated.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-8948 Aux Id: seq11733 </p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="id60007">1.8
Asn1 1.6.14.1</a></h3>
<h4>Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
Extension Addition Groups are now supported by the parser
and in all backends.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-8598 Aux Id: seq-11557 </p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Extension Addition Groups are now supported in nested
types within a SEQUENCE and CHOICE as well (missed that
in previous fix)</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-8797 Aux Id: seq-11557 </p>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Improvements and New Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
Bug in UNALIGNED PER regarding encoding and decoding of
constrained numbers with a valuerange > 1024. (Thanks to
Vincent de Phily)</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-8779</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Minor corrections in the User Guide.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-8829</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="id61521">1.9
Asn1 1.6.14</a></h3>
<h4>Improvements and New Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
By default, the ASN.1 compiler is now silent in the
absence of warnings or errors. The new '<span class="code">verbose</span>'
option or the '<span class="code">-v</span>' option for <span class="code">erlc</span> can be
given to show extra information (for instance, about the
files that are generated). (Thanks to Tuncer Ayaz.)</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-8565</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="id61563">1.10
Asn1 1.6.13</a></h3>
<h4>Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
Harmless buffer overflow by one byte in asn1 and
ram_file_drv.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-8451</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Improvements and New Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Cross compilation improvements and other build system
improvements.</p>
<p>Most notable:</p> <ul>
<li> Lots of cross
compilation improvements. The old cross compilation
support was more or less non-existing as well as broken.
Please, note that the cross compilation support should
still be considered as experimental. Also note that old
cross compilation configurations cannot be used without
modifications. For more information on cross compiling
Erlang/OTP see the <span class="code">$ERL_TOP/INSTALL-CROSS.md</span> file.
</li>
<li> Support for staged install using <span class="bold_code"><a href="http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/DESTDIR.html">DESTDIR</a></span>.
The old broken <span class="code">INSTALL_PREFIX</span> has also been fixed.
For more information see the <span class="code">$ERL_TOP/INSTALL.md</span>
file. </li>
<li> Documentation of the <span class="code">release</span>
target of the top <span class="code">Makefile</span>. For more information
see the <span class="code">$ERL_TOP/INSTALL.md</span> file. </li>
<li>
<span class="code">make install</span> now by default creates relative
symbolic links instead of absolute ones. For more
information see the <span class="code">$ERL_TOP/INSTALL.md</span> file.
</li>
<li> <span class="code">$ERL_TOP/configure --help=recursive</span>
now works and prints help for all applications with
<span class="code">configure</span> scripts. </li>
<li> Doing <span class="code">make
install</span>, or <span class="code">make release</span> directly after
<span class="code">make all</span> no longer triggers miscellaneous
rebuilds. </li>
<li> Existing bootstrap system is now
used when doing <span class="code">make install</span>, or <span class="code">make
release</span> without a preceding <span class="code">make all</span>.
</li>
<li> The <span class="code">crypto</span> and <span class="code">ssl</span>
applications use the same runtime library path when
dynamically linking against <span class="code">libssl.so</span> and
<span class="code">libcrypto.so</span>. The runtime library search path has
also been extended. </li>
<li> The <span class="code">configure</span>
scripts of <span class="code">erl_interface</span> and <span class="code">odbc</span> now
search for thread libraries and thread library quirks the
same way as <span class="code">erts</span> do. </li>
<li> The
<span class="code">configure</span> script of the <span class="code">odbc</span> application
now also looks for odbc libraries in <span class="code">lib64</span> and
<span class="code">lib/64</span> directories when building on a 64-bit
system. </li>
<li> The <span class="code">config.h.in</span> file in the
<span class="code">erl_interface</span> application is now automatically
generated in instead of statically updated which reduces
the risk of <span class="code">configure</span> tests without any effect.
</li>
</ul>
<p>(Thanks to Henrik Riomar for suggestions and
testing)</p>
<p>(Thanks to Winston Smith for the AVR32-Linux cross
configuration and testing)</p>
<p>
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-8323</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Add support for prefixing macro names generated by the
compiler</p>
<p>
This is useful when multiple protocols that contains
macros with identical names are included in a single
module.</p>
<p>
Add the missing <span class="code">record_name_prefix</span> compiler option
to the documentation.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-8453</p>

</ul>
<h3><a name="id62139">1.11
Asn1 1.6.12</a></h3>
<h4>Improvements and New Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
The documentation is now built with open source tools
(xsltproc and fop) that exists on most platforms. One
visible change is that the frames are removed.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-8256</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="id62170">1.12
Asn1 1.6.11</a></h3>
<h4>Improvements and New Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
A new option <span class="code">{n2n,TypeName}</span> can be used to
enable generation of conversion functions from name to number
and vice versa for selected ENUMERATION types.
The option can be repeated many times in order to specify several
types in the same file.<br>
If the <span class="code">TypeName</span> specified does not exists or is not an
ENUMERATION type, the compilation will be terminated with an
error code.<br>
Below follows an example on how to use the option from the command line with <span class="code">erlc</span>:<br>
<span class="code">erlc -bper_bin +optimize +driver +"{n2n,'CauseMisc'}" +"{n2n,'CausePcl'}" MyModyle.asn</span>

The precedence rules for extended constraints have been
misinterpreted. The rule says for instance that if there
are more than one constraint on a type that have
extension-mark, only the last of the extension-marks would
be kept. This affects the encoding of PER and is now
corrected.</p>
