Erlang R13A was just released a couple of hours ago. R13A is an alpha release of R13B. There are some very interesting things in this release.
Correction: R13A is a beta release of the next R13B major release. We do not recommend it for use in live products. — the R13A readme
- The scheduler has finer lock-granularity. Several schedulers, one for each processor/core, better process affinity and cache usage. This will mean better scalability with increasing numbers of cores, proving that Erlang is to depend on when it comes to future multi-core systems.
- A beta release of wxErlang, an erlang application for making desktop guis using wxWidget
- A new module called unicode for converting unicode character encodings and latin character sets.
