+== Erlang 20
+
+Erlang/OTP has been updated to version 20.
+Highlights from the changes introduced in v20 include:
+
+- so-called 'dirty schedulers' are available on systems with SMP;
+- atoms may now contain arbitrary Unicode characters (for example, 'здравствуй-你好');
+- Erlang applications can now handle some OS signals (SIGHUP, for example);
+- improved unicode support for strings;
+- the zlib module has been refactored and all its operations will now yield appropriately, allowing them to be used freely in concurrent applications.
+
+Fedora's Erlang package maintainers have also improved the integration of Erlang with the rest of the system.
+Erlang developers can now benefit from:
+
+- improved logging to journald;
+- access to D-Bus from the erlang-dbus package;
+- improved Erlang Packaging Guidelines.
+
+More information about the changes in Erlang is available from the https://www.erlang.org/news[Erlang website].
+More information about the improved integration into Fedora is available from the Fedora https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Erlang_20[change description].
