Elixir v1.15.0-rc.0 released

Elixir · May 22, 2023, 12:20pm

This release requires Erlang/OTP 24 and later.

Elixir v1.15 is a smaller release with focused improvements
on compilation and boot times. This release also completes
our integration process with Erlang/OTP logger, bringing new
features such as log rotation and compaction out of the box.

You will also find additional convenience functions in Code,
Map, Keyword, all Calendar modules, and others.

Compile and boot-time improvements

The last several releases brought improvements to compilation
time and this version is no different. In particular, Elixir
now caches and prunes load paths before compilation, ensuring your
project (and dependencies!) compile faster and in an environment
closer to production.

In a nutshell the Erlang VM loads modules from code paths. Each
application that ships with Erlang and Elixir plus each dependency
become an entry in your code path. The larger the code path, the
more work Erlang has to do in order to find a module.

In previous versions, Mix would only add entries to the load paths.
Therefore, if you compiled 20 dependencies and you went to compile
the 21st, the code path would have 21 entries (plus all Erlang and
Elixir apps). This allowed modules from unrelated dependencies to
be seen and made compilation slower the more dependencies you had.
With this release, we will now prune the code paths to only the ones
listed as dependencies, bringing the behaviour closer to mix release.

Furthermore, Erlang/OTP 26 allows us to start applications
concurrently and cache the code path lookups, decreasing the cost of
booting applications. The combination of Elixir v1.15 and Erlang/OTP 26
should reduce the boot time of applications, such as when starting
iex -S mix or running a single test with mix test, from 5% to 30%.

The compiler is also smarter in several ways: @behaviour declarations
no longer add compile-time dependencies and aliases in patterns and
guards add no dependency whatsoever, as no dispatching happens. Furthermore,
Mix now tracks the digests of @external_resource files, reducing the
amount of recompilation when swapping branches. Finally, dependencies
are automatically recompiled when their compile-time configuration changes.

Potential incompatibilities

Due to the code path pruning, if you have an application or dependency
that does not specify its dependencies on Erlang and Elixir application,
it may no longer compile successfully in Elixir v1.15. You can temporarily
disable code path pruning by setting prune_code_paths: false in your
mix.exs, although doing so may lead to runtime bugs that are only
manifested inside a mix release.

Compiler warnings and errors

The Elixir compiler can now emit many errors for a single file, making
sure more feedback is reported to developers before compilation is aborted.

In Elixir v1.14, an undefined function would be reported as:

** (CompileError) undefined function foo/0 (there is no such import)
    my_file.exs:1

In Elixir v1.15, the new reports will look like:

error: undefined function foo/0 (there is no such import)
  my_file.exs:1

** (CompileError) nofile: cannot compile file (errors have been logged)

A new function, called Code.with_diagnostics/2, has been added so this
information can be leveraged by editors, allowing them to point to several
errors at once.

Integration with Erlang/OTP logger

This release provides additional features such as global logger
metadata and file logging (with rotation and compaction) out-of-the-box!

This release also soft-deprecates Elixir’s Logger Backends in
favor of Erlang’s Logger handlers. Elixir will automatically
convert your :console backend configuration into the new
configuration. Previously, you would set:

config :logger, :console,
  level: :error,
  format: "$time $message $metadata"

Which is now translated to the equivalent:

config :logger, :default_handler,
  level: :error

config :logger, :default_formatter,
  format: "$time $message $metadata"

If you use Logger.Backends.Console or other backends, they are
still fully supported and functional. If you implement your own
backends, you want to consider migrating to
:logger_backends
in the long term.

See the new Logger documentation for more information on the
new features and on compatibility.

Hi folks, I want to highlight one potential incompatibility with this release. Packages that previously would fail only when running a mix release due to poor configuration, will now fail to compile (better to know earlier than just in prod). If a package fails to compile when upgrading, try this:

Update the package
If that doesn’t fix it and the package is an Erlang package, force it to be compiled with manager: :rebar3. For example, ssl_verify_fun has such issue, therefore you could add to your mix.exs deps: {:ssl_verify_fun, ">= 0.0.0", manager: :rebar3}.
If that doesn’t work, then set prune_code_paths: false to your def project in mix.exs

Please give the release a try and let us know!

Eiji · May 22, 2023, 1:17pm

I found a first problem even before installing new Elixir version.

Looks like buildds.hex.pm caches HTTP requests, so when asdf-elixir in list-all script calls curl -Lfs 'https://builds.hex.pm/builds/elixir/builds.txt' it gets all releases except the v1.15.0-rc.0* ones. I can reproduce it in console with above call.

Of course asdf users still can install it by calling asdf install elixir 1.15.0-rc.0-otp-26, but because of server cache we lost the autocompletion (again for this version only) …

I have found a workaround in the console. We can simply use same curl command, but with adding let’s say some parameter which server would not use anyway, for example ?a=5 url suffix would give back v1.15.0-rc.0* versions and proves that a cache problem happens on server side.

mat-hek · May 22, 2023, 1:28pm

The feature used for the optimisation of Task looks ~~weird~~ interesting

How exactly does it work? Is it documented somewhere?

josevalim · May 22, 2023, 1:28pm

We are investigating this one. We have been moving the builds from Bob to Elixir CI slowly and we battle test those changes on RCs (cause we don’t want to break the usual releases) and this time we found something.

cmo · May 22, 2023, 1:45pm

When do the docs appear on hexdocs?

Eiji · May 22, 2023, 1:57pm

Good question. Meanwhile you can access the Development documentation, see following links for more information:

https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/main

josevalim · May 22, 2023, 2:58pm

All of the build issues should have been addressed now. Let me know if that’s not the case.

Eiji · May 22, 2023, 3:20pm

Still curl command gives old result.

Edit

For anyone interested I’m using for example:

curl -Lfs 'https://builds.hex.pm/builds/elixir/builds.txt' | cut -d\  -f1 | grep 15

Where:
  # curl
  -L, --location      Follow redirects
  -f, --fail          Fail silently (no output at all) on HTTP errors
  -s, --silent        Silent mode
  # i.e. curl does do anything with cache

  # cut
  -d, --delimiter=DELIM   use DELIM instead of TAB for field delimiter
  -f, --fields=LIST       select only these fields;  also print any line
                            that contains no delimiter character, unless
                            the -s option is specified
  # i.e. this line:
  # v0.15.0 2f2a52a64874a0a5b6d5c1fab812a80e94d982bc 2016-06-02T12:35:36Z
  # is trimmed to:
  # v0.15.0

and in this case it gives me:

v0.15.0
v0.15.1

As expected also asdf does not lists new Elixir version.

Edit

This may be helpful for others:

$ url="https://builds.hex.pm/builds/elixir/builds.txt"
$ curl  -Lfs "$url"  | cut -d\  -f1 | grep 15
v0.15.0
v0.15.1
$ curl -Lfs "$url?tmp=`uuidgen`"| cut -d\  -f1 | grep 15
v0.15.0
v0.15.1
v1.15.0-rc.0
v1.15.0-rc.0-otp-24
v1.15.0-rc.0-otp-25
v1.15.0-rc.0-otp-26

The second command ensures that every call would have unique value for tmp variable passed to server and therefore it’s avoiding cache problem.

Eiji · May 22, 2023, 3:59pm

@josevalim I can confirm that 1.15.0-rc.0* versions just appeared in asdf.

Edit: Yes, I have monitored it all the time.

BartOtten · May 22, 2023, 4:05pm

~OHBOY….if 26+26 wasn’t enough, what is?

wojtekmach · May 22, 2023, 7:26pm

yeah please never do this as it will unnecessarily hit origin server, our storage bucket, every single time. Yes, (…)/builds.txt was stale but it would be fine and preferred if everyone went to something like (…)/builds.txt?0 instead, they’d all get the same fresh result. In any case the bug is fixed so this post is mostly moot. Thanks for looking into this and posting updates though!

tcoopman · May 22, 2023, 7:33pm

I hope better naming of sigils for one : ~HTML

kip · May 23, 2023, 4:26am

I’m seeing unexpected output from mix dialyzer but only with the combination:

Elixir 1.15.0-rc.0-otp-26
Erlang 26.0

I don’t see this output for any other combinations I’ve tried:

Elixir 1.15.0-rc.0-otp-25 with Erlang 25.3.2
Elixir 1.14.4-otp-26 with Erlang 26.0
Elixir 1.14.4-otp-25 with Erlang 25.3.2

The “errors” relate to transitive optional dependencies - they are not dependencies of ex_cldr_units. Interestingly there are other transitive optional dependencies that aren’t appearing in the messages!

I have tried adding the three libraries notes to :plt_add_apps to no avail (and fair enough, they aren’t actually configured in the lib being analysed - they are transitive optional dependencies).

Any help, clues, suggestions warmly welcomed.

Are those include as “concrete” dependencies somewhere? Does your application or any application that you depend on include them under applications in their .app file?

What about extending GenServer module with new non-blocking calls functionality added in OTP 23? Is it planned or did I miss something?

No, they aren’t. The only references grepped for certifi or castore are in cldr_utils and there are both optional: true.

A slightly simpler example is with the ex_cldr repo. Here’s the deps tree:

There are no references to :certifi or :castore other than that they are optional dependencies in cldr_utils.

mix.lock

In mix.lock I see the following. There is not direct dependency on :certifi or :castore.

There’s a lot more info on the PR that introduced the improved optimization to OTP 26:

github.com/erlang/otp

Optimize gen:send_request/3 + gen:wait_response/2 sequences

erlang:master ← jhogberg:john/compiler/recv-opt-enhancement

opened 06:46PM - 26 Jan 23 UTC

jhogberg

+104 -54

`gen_server:call/2,3` uses an optimization where only the messages received afte…r sending the request are searched for the response, greatly speeding up calls inside processes that have very large message queues. Unfortunately, this optimization doesn't kick in if you split it up into the largely equivalent `gen_server:send_request/2` and `gen_server:receive_response/2` functions. This PR fixes that.

Yeah, seen that and I think I get the concept, but I was wondering if it’s documented somewhere

al2o3cr · May 24, 2023, 12:18am

There’s a brief discussion of this optimization in the Efficiency Guide that also mentions how to detect when it’s happening vs not (the recv_opt_info compiler flag).
