history

Project history and usage

Erlang/OTP 28 is the Homebrew versioned formula for the OTP 28 release line of the official Erlang runtime and OTP libraries.

Project history

Erlang/OTP 28.0 was announced on May 21, 2025 as a major release. The release introduced new language and runtime features such as priority messages, zip generators and strict generators in comprehensions, based floating-point literals, compiler diagnostics improvements, and source SBOM publication on GitHub Releases.

Adoption history

As with other OTP major lines, erlang@28 gives package-manager users a way to pin the runtime while the main Erlang package advances. The source facts list Erlang packages across Homebrew, apk, Chocolatey, MacPorts, Scoop, winget, zypper, and major Linux package managers.

How it is used

The formula installs the OTP 28 versions of the Erlang shell, compiler, escript, Dialyzer, Common Test runner, EPMD, and related runtime utilities.

Why package nerds care

OTP 28 is relevant to package maintainers because downstream Erlang tooling needed explicit support for its syntax and runtime changes; erlfmt's changelog, for example, added support for OTP 28 comprehensions and nominal types.

Timeline

  • 2025-05-21: Erlang/OTP 28.0 announced as a new major release.
  • 2025: OTP 28.1, OTP 28.3, and OTP 28.4 followed as maintenance patch packages.
  • 2026: OTP 28.5 continued the OTP 28 maintenance line.

Related projects

  • erlfmt tracks OTP 28 syntax changes so formatted source remains compatible with the OTP 28 language.
  • OTP 28 belongs to the same upstream erlang/otp project as the OTP 26 and OTP 27 formulae.

security posture

No protected-tool coverage found yet

No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for erlang@28. Nucleus package metadata is still published here so future coverage has a stable package URL.

Install behavior

  • No Homebrew post-install hook is recorded in formula metadata.
  • Homebrew bottle metadata is available for 6 platform targets.
  • Installs with 3 runtime dependencies.

Recommended review

Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.
