+
+The Erlang runtime system, commonly known as the BEAM, provides a runtime that is used by a number of programming languages and applications in the FreeBSD ports collection.
+
+In the final update for 2024, the Erlang ecosystem team has been busy:
+
+* Regular updates to all Erlang/OTP releases, to stay current
+* Elixir 1.18.1, Gleam 1.6.3, and RabbitMQ updates
+
+Users of RabbitMQ need to update each quarter to avoid being stuck on an unsupported release of Erlang/OTP + RabbitMQ, without a supported migration path.
+
+Note that as the upstream Erlang OTP team only commit to supporting the two latest major releases, more and more point updates are arriving for OTP26-27, but not for the older Erlang runtime releases, which are now unlikely to get security and bug fixes.
+
+The Erlang team will be updating the default Erlang runtime to OTP26, to package:lang/erlang[], along with the usual dependencies and tooling.
+
+Additional testing and community contributions are welcome; please reach out on the mailing list, especially if you are able to help testing of specific port updates.
