Official announcement: https://elixir-lang.org/blog/2023/06/19/elixir-v1-15-0-released/

1. Enhancements

EEx

  • [EEx] Include source code snippets in syntax errors

Elixir

  • [Calendar] Add support for epoch time (%s) to Calendar.strftime/2
  • [Code] Code.format_string!/2 now converts 'charlists' into ~c"charlists" by default
  • [Code] Add :on_undefined_variable to the compiler options to preserve the warning behaviour which was deprecated back in Elixir v1.4
  • [Code] Add Code.loaded?/1 and Code.ensure_all_loaded(!)/1
  • [Code] Add Code.prepend_paths/1, Code.append_paths/1, and Code.delete_paths/1
  • [Code] Add Code.with_diagnostics/2 to return diagnostics when compiling and evaluating code
  • [Code.Fragment] Support nested expressions in Code.Fragment.cursor_context/1
  • [Code.Fragment] Keep operators and no paren calls in Code.Fragment.container_cursor_to_quoted/1
  • [Date] Add Date.before?/2 and Date.after?/2
  • [DateTime] Add DateTime.before?/2 and DateTime.after?/2
  • [DateTime] Support precision in DateTime.utc_now/2
  • [File] Support distributed File.Stream
  • [Inspect] Inspect now renders 'charlists' as ~c"charlists" by default
  • [Kernel] Break down case and cond inside dbg/2
  • [Kernel] Add t:nonempty_binary/0 and t:nonempty_bitstring/0
  • [Kernel] Treat @behaviours as runtime dependencies
  • [Kernel] Do not add runtime dependencies for alias references in patterns and guards
  • [Kernel] Warn for nested calls without parens inside keywords
  • [Kernel] Support for multi-letter uppercase sigils
  • [Kernel] Introduce mechanism to collect several errors in a module. Previously, as soon as there was a compilation error, compilation would fail. Now the compiler became a bit smarter and will report multiple errors whenever possible as multiple error: ... messages, similar to warning: ...
  • [Kernel] Raise instead of warning on undefined variables. Previously, an undefined variable would attempt to invoke a function of the same name, which led to confusing error messages, especially to newcomers. To enable the previous behaviour, invoke Code.compiler_options(on_undefined_variable: :warn) at the top of your mix.exs
  • [Kernel.CLI] Support --sname undefined/--name undefined so a name is automatically generated
  • [Keyword] Add Keyword.split_with/2

  • [MapSet] Add MapSet.split_with/2
  • [MapSet] Optimize most functions
  • [NaiveDateTime] Add NaiveDateTime.beginning_of_day/1 and NaiveDateTime.end_of_day/1
  • [NaiveDateTime] Add NaiveDateTime.before?/2 and NaiveDateTime.after?/2
  • [NaiveDateTime] Support precision in NaiveDateTime.utc_now/2
  • [Module] Mark functions as generated in "Docs" chunk
  • [Module] Add Module.get_last_attribute/3
  • [OptionParser] Support :return_separator option
  • [Process] Add Process.alias/0,1 and Process.unalias/1

  • [String] Update Unicode to version 15.0.0
  • [String] Add :fast_ascii mode to String.valid?/2
  • [Supervisor] Add support for automatic shutdown in Supervisor
  • [System] Support :lines in System.cmd/3 to capture output line by line
  • [Task] Remove head of line blocking on Task.yield_many/2
  • [Task] Enable selective receive optimizations in Erlang/OTP 26+
  • [Task] Reduce tasks footprint by avoiding unecessary work during spawning
  • [Task.Supervisor] Do not copy args on temporary Task.Supervisor.start_child/2
  • [Time] Add Time.before?/2 and Time.after?/2
  • [URI] Add URI.append_path/2
