Official highlights included the new documentation system based on EEP-59, triple-quoted strings, sigils, and build changes around year-2038-safe timestamps. ### Adoption history The package-manager facts show Erlang distributed through Homebrew, apk, Chocolatey, MacPorts, Scoop, winget, zypper, and other common packaging channels. A versioned Homebrew formula lets users keep OTP 27 installed for codebases that target that release line. ### How it is used Installing erlang@27 provides the normal Erlang/OTP CLI surface for that line: erl, erlc, escript, dialyzer, ct_run, epmd, typer, and related runtime utilities. ### Why package nerds care OTP 27 is a useful package-manager boundary because it introduced language and documentation features that downstream tools and formatters needed to learn, while still being old enough for projects to pin deliberately. ### Timeline - 2024-05-15: Erlang/OTP 27.0 announced as a new major release. - 2024: OTP 27.1 and OTP 27.2 followed as maintenance patch packages. - 2025: OTP 27.3 continued the OTP 27 maintenance line. ### Related projects - erlfmt added support for OTP 27 language features such as sigils and triple-quoted strings. - Erlang LS listed OTP 27 among its supported OTP versions in its README. ### Sources - - - - - - ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for erlang@27.
