  • [ExUnit] Interpolate module attributes in match assertions diffs
  • [ExUnit] Print how much time is spent on async vs sync tests
  • [ExUnit] Improve error messages for doctests
  • [ExUnit] Compile doctests faster (often by two times)
  • [ExUnit] Add ExUnit.async_run/0 and ExUnit.await_run/1

2. Bug fixes

Elixir

  • [CLI] Ensure -e "" (with an empty string) parses correctly on Windows
  • [Inspect] Do not override user supplied :limit option for derived implementations
  • [Kernel] Allow heredoc inside a heredoc interpolation
  • [Kernel] Preserve CRLF on heredocs
  • [Kernel] Public functions without documentation now appear as an empty map on Code.fetch_docs/1, unless they start with underscore, where they remain as :none. This aligns Elixir's implementation with EEP48
  • [Kernel] Do not crash when complex literals (binaries and maps) are used in guards
  • [Kernel] Properly parse keywords (such as end) followed by the :: operator
  • [Kernel] Do not ignore unimplemented signatures from generated functions
  • [Kernel] Improve error message when an expression follows a keyword list without brackets
  • [Macro] Macro.decompose_call/1 now also consider tuples with more than 2 elements to not be valid calls
  • [Macro] Fix Macro.to_string/1 double-escaping of escape characters in sigils
  • [Macro] Fix Macro.underscore/1 on digits preceded by capitals: "FOO10" now becomes "foo10" instead of "fo_o10"
  • [Macro] Preserve underscores between digits on Macro.underscore/1
  • [OptionParser] Properly parse when numbers follow-up aliases, for example, -ab3 is now parsed as -a -b 3
  • [Path] Fix Path.relative_to/2 when referencing self
  • [Path] Do not crash when a volume is given to Path.absname/1, such as "c:"
  • [Task] Ensure Task.async_stream/2 with ordered: false discard results as they are emitted, instead of needlessly accumulating inside the stream manager
  • [Task] Raise if :max_concurrency is set to 0 on streaming operations
  • [URI] Do not discard empty paths on URI.merge/2

ExUnit

  • [ExUnit.Case] Make @tag tmp_dir an absolute directory, avoiding inconsistencies if the test changes the current working directory
  • [ExUnit.Diff] Fix cases where the diffing algorithm would fail to print a pattern correct

IEx

  • [IEx] Fix auto-completion inside remote shells

Mix

  • [mix app.config] Do not emit false positive warnings when configured dependencies that have runtime: false set
  • [mix compile.elixir] Ensure that a manifest is generated even with no source code
  • [mix compile.elixir] Make sure export dependencies trigger recompilation when the dependency is removed as well as when the whole file is removed
  • [mix compile.elixir] Do not emit false positive warnings when a path dependency adds a module that is then used by the current application in the same mix compile cycle
  • [mix test] Ensure protocols within the current project are consolidated when --cover is given
  • [mix release] Improve compliance of release scripts with stripped down Linux installations
  • [mix release] Preserve file mode when copying non-beam ebin files
  • [mix xref] Ensure args are passed to the underlying mix compile call

3. Soft-deprecations (no warnings emitted)

Elixir

  • [Kernel] Using first..last to match on ranges is soft-deprecated and will warn on future Elixir versions. Use first..last//step instead
  • [Kernel] Using first..last to create decreasing ranges is soft-deprecated and will warn on future versions. Use first..last//-1 instead

4. Hard-deprecations

EEx

  • [EEx.Engine] use EEx.Engine is deprecated in favor of explicit delegation

Elixir

  • [Kernel] The binary operator ^^^ is deprecated. If you are using Bitwise.^^^/2, use Bitwise.bxor/2 instead
  • [Kernel] Deprecate @foo() in favor of @foo
  • [System] Deprecate System.stacktrace/0 (it was already deprecated outside of catch/rescue and now it is deprecated everywhere)

Mix

  • [mix compile] The :xref compiler is deprecated and it has no effect. Please remove it from your mix.exs file.
