What is minimum required version of erlang to build rebar3? about rebar3 HOT 5 CLOSED

Here is provided some information about it - You've got to upgrade Rebar3.
(C)

* 3.16.0 (Erlang/OTP 22-24)
* 3.14.0 through 3.15.1 (Erlang/OTP 19-23)
* 3.11.0 through 3.13.2 (Erlang/OTP 18-22)
* 3.7.0 through 3.10.0 (Erlang/OTP 17-21)

I suppose 3.10.0 or 3.13.2 or 3.15.1.

Thanks. 3.15.0 worked (the release before the ?WITH_STACKTRACE was introduced). I can use 3.15.2 to avoid that SSL bug.

Might be an idea to document minimum erlang versions in the README.

Might be an idea to document minimum erlang versions in the README.

They are documented 😄: "the 3 newest major Erlang releases are supported at any given time: if the newest version is OTP-24, building with versions as old as OTP-22 will be supported, and produce an executable that will work with those that follow."

I guess you can always rely on the CI files, too:

• 3.15.0: https://github.com/erlang/rebar3/blob/3.15.0/.github/workflows/main.yml#L18
• 3.16.0 (it changed): https://github.com/erlang/rebar3/blob/3.16.0/.github/workflows/main.yml#L18
• 3.19.0 (it changed): https://github.com/erlang/rebar3/blob/3.19.0/.github/workflows/main.yml#L18

And you can also look at the release notes. They're usually updated with that info.

Or do you mean update that per version, or even keep a table? If what you'd prefer is a table, maybe discuss that with the maintainers and then pull request :)

Thanks, we missed that in the README. Release notes sometimes have version support.

from rebar3.

release notes do specify version change support when applicable as well, and made it more explicit the last two years:

• 3.19.0: "#2706"
• 3.16.0: "#2515"

Anyway, I'll consider this question answered, sorry about the confusion!
