 2.5.3

2-5-2

 2.5.2

2-5-1

 2.5.1

  • Fix support for extra messages in traces (thanks to Péter Gömöri)
  • Fix some typespecs for match specs (thanks to @chenduo)
  • Support OTP-23 change of format in allocator blocks related to carrier migration support

2-5-0

 2.5.0

  • Optional formatting of records in traces (thanks to @bartekgorny)
  • Basic support for OTP-22 in recon_alloc (base handling of foreign_blocks type)

2-4-0

 2.4.0

  • Optional formatting of records in traces (thanks to @bartekgorny)

2-3-6

 2.3.6

  • Adapting for OTP-21. Includes the 'deprecation' of recon:files/0 since OTP-21 no longer supports listing all file descriptors, and removing error_logger_queue_len from node stats since a new logging mechanism was introduced in-process instead.

2-3-5

 2.3.5

  • fixing timefold's first iteration to prevent errors at call-site by sleeping before sampling

2-3-4

 2.3.4

  • fixing edoc tag that broke some downstream packaging attempts

2-3-3

 2.3.3

  • fixing bin_leak arith errors
  • fixes to recon_alloc:allocators/1 (incl. R16 compatibility)
  • fix errors in scheduler wall time calculations
  • term_to_pid supports binaries

2-3-2

 2.3.2

  • Allow the return_to option in recon_trace
  • More efficient sorting function for procs and ports attributes (thanks to @zhongwencool and @pichi)
  • Allow the usage of return_trace in recon_trace:calls/2-3 instead of fun(_) -> return_trace() end.

2-3-1

 2.3.1

  • Updated app_deps script to run with rebar3 dependencies
  • Minor docs update

2-3-0

 2.3.0

  • Doc made clearer around semantics of recon:proc_count and recon:proc_window.
  • Fix doc typos
  • Fix potential race condition on waiting for death of tracing process
  • Add an option which allows sending tracing output somewhere other than group_leader() (thanks @djnym)
  • Add ability to pass custom formatter function when tracing (thanks @iilyak)

2-2-1

 2.2.1

  • Fixing type specs for recon:port_types/0 and recon_lib:count/1, thanks to @lucafavatella
  • Minor documentation fixes.

2-2-0

 2.2.0

  • Adding scheduler info metrics to get a more accurate picture than what top and CPU gives.
  • Broadening recon_trace:calls/2 interface to allow multiple match specs, which was currently only allowed for calls/3.
  • Support for mbcs_pool data in erts_alloc, and some internal refactoring, thanks to Lukas Larsson.

2-1-2

 2.1.2

  • Fixing tests for R15B02 and up
  • Fixing a backwards compatibility for R15B03 on recon_alloc operations with dumps on disk

2-1-1

 2.1.1

  • Renaming recon_trace:mfa() type to recon_trace:tspec() to avoid issues in older Erlang versions regarding redefining an existing type (Thanks Roberto Aloi)

2-1-0

 2.1.0

  • Adding recon_trace script to allow safe tracing of function calls on production nodes.
  • Adding queue_fun.awk script to inspect running functions of processes with large mailboxes in a crash dump.

2-0-2

 2.0.2

  • Preventing crashes in recon_alloc when certain expected allocators do not return results (Thanks to Michal Ptaszek)

2-0-1

 2.0.1

  • Add support for R16B03 in recon_alloc.

2-0-0

 2.0.0

  • Test suite added
  • Major rewrite of recon_alloc, thanks to Lukas Larsson. Things that changed include:
    • average_sizes/0 is renamed average_block_sizes/1 and now takes the keywords current and max.
    • Documentation updates.
    • memory/1 has new options in allocated_types and allocated_instances.
    • memory/2 has been added, which allows to choose between current and max values. memory(Term) is made equivalent to memory(Term, current).
    • Allow sbcs_to_mbcs/0 to take the arguments current and max.
    • Added unit conversion function set_unit/1, which allows to get the recon_alloc results in bytes (default), kilobytes, megabytes, and gigabytes, to help with readability.
  • Updated the internal rebar version, if anybody were to use it.
  • recon:port_info/1 no longer includes the parallelism option by default within the meta category as this would hurt backwards compatibility on some installations.
  • recon:get_state/2 is added in order to specify timeouts. recon:get_state/1 keeps its 5000 milliseconds timeout.
  • Addition of a fake attribute called binary_memory, which is callable in recon:info/2,4, recon:proc_count/2, and recon:proc_window/3. This attribute allows to fetch the amount of memory used by refc binaries for a process, and to sort by that value for counts and windows.

1-2-0

 1.2.0

  • add recon_alloc:snapshot* functions, which allow memory allocation snapshots to be taken, saved on disk, reloaded, and analyzed on-demand. Thanks to Lukas Larsson for this functionality.
  • remove parallelism data from port_info for better OTP backwards compatibility with little loss of information.

1-1-0

 1.1.0

  • add recon_lib:term_to_port to convert a string back to a usable port.
  • add recon:port_info/1 and recon:port_info/2
  • add recon_alloc module

1-0-0

 1.0.0

add info/2 and info/4. The memory info type thus gets renamed to memory_used, in order to avoid conflicts when picking between a type and a specific process attribute. Types exported by the module also get updated.

0-4-2

 0.4.2

  • extended app_deps.erl to read apps/ directories for releases

0-4-1

 0.4.1

  • fixed bug where nodes with lots of processes could see the GC call fail if said processes failed between long calls within the bin_leak function call.

0-4-0

 0.4.0

  • fixed bug where nodes with lots of processes or ports could see their count or window functions fail because a process or socket closed between the time the function started and before it finished. This ends up changing the API in recon_lib for the window and count functions that take a specific pid as an argument.

0-3-1

 0.3.1

  • factored out some logic from recon:info/1 into recon_lib:term_to_pid and allowed arbitrary terms to be used for pids in recon:get_state/1.
