May 2025 monthly summary for erlang/otp. Focused on expanding runtime configurability for erl_boot_server to support flexible deployments. Delivered a configurable listening port feature with new start/2 and start_link/2 entry points that accept a map of options including listen_port. If listen_port is not provided or is 0, the server continues to use an ephemeral port, preserving backward compatibility. The change is implemented in the kernel area and linked to commit a4d459e25724cc83649c4f04108641e15f5f745c. This work enhances deployment automation, simplifies container orchestration, and reduces the need for manual port reconfiguration in production.

March 2025: Fixed a critical XML export bug in xmerl within erlang/otp. Corrected the export of XML comments (#xmlComment) so that export/3 and export_simple/3 now faithfully serialize comments, reducing data fidelity issues and downstream parsing errors for XML-driven workflows. This targeted fix improves interoperability for XML data consumers and strengthens the reliability of XML processing in OTP's core tooling.
