Enhancements

  • [Application] Add an Application module with common functions to work with OTP applications
  • [Exception] Add Exception.message/1, Exception.format_banner/1, Exception.format_exit/1 and Exception.format/1
  • [File] Add File.ln_s/1
  • [Mix] mix deps.clean now works accross environments
  • [Mix] Support line numbers in mix test, e.g. test/some/file_test.exs:12
  • [Mix] Use @file attributes to detect dependencies in between .ex and external files. This means changing an .eex file will no longer recompile the whole project only the files that depend directly on it
  • [Mix] Support application configurations in config/config.exs which can be customized by specifying your own :config_path
  • [Mix] Support user-wide configuration with ~/.mix/config.exs

  • [String] Support :parts in String.split/3

Bug fixes

  • [Code] Ensure we don't lose the caller stacktrace on code evaluation
  • [IEx] Exit signals now exits the IEx evaluator and a new one is spawned on its place
  • [IEx] Ensure we don't prune too much stacktrace when reporting failures
  • [IEx] Fix an issue where iex.bat on Windows was not passing the proper parameters forward
  • [Kernel] Ensure modules defined on root respect defined aliases
  • [Kernel] Do not wrap single lists in :__block__
  • [Kernel] Ensure emitted beam code works nicely with dialyzer
  • [Kernel] Do not allow a module named Elixir to be defined
  • [Kernel] Create remote funs even if mod is a variable in capture &mod.fun/arity
  • [Kernel] Improve compiler message when duplicated modules are detected
  • [Mix] Generate .gitignore for --umbrella projects
  • [Mix] Verify if a git dependency in deps has a proper git checkout and clean it automatically when it doesn't
  • [Mix] Ensure mix test works with IEx.pry/0
  • [System] Convert remaining functions in System to rely on char data
