Elixir v1.20.0-rc.6 released

Elixir News & Announcements Elixir News
1

Hi everyone, this release includes type inference across applications and is our last step before v1.20. Please give it a try!

Here are some things to try out:

  1. Before upgrading, run mix compile --profile time --force and see how long it takes
  2. Run mix compile --profile time --force after upgrading and report

Please report the times and your Elixir version for each.

If you have some additional seconds, please try the following changes to your mix.exs. Run mix compile --profile time --force and report your times for each scenario independently, only on -rc.6:

  1. elixirc_options: [infer_signatures: [:elixir]] (This makes it so we only use Elixir’s stdlib to infer signatures. I do not recommend it in practice but measuring it will help assess the impact of inference across apps)

  2. elixirc_options: [module_definition: :interpreted] (Interprete module definitions when compiling modules, does not impact produced .beam files, it is OK to use it in prod)

Full release notes here: Release v1.20.0-rc.6 · elixir-lang/elixir · GitHub

Thank you!

Your application is much slower to compile, we can probably make it much faster. If you are willing to grant me access to debug it further, please reach out in private!

Hello. My application seems to compile forever with v1.20.0-rc.6 and Erlang 29.0 (everything is fine with the previous RC). Should I submit a new issue? Submitted a new issue.

At first – thanks for fixing #15410.

I do not use v1.20.0-rc.6 for the measurements because this version does not work with my project (and there is also an issue related to nimble_parsec dependency build, which seems to be already fixed), but the e17cb85 commit – I hope it is still relevant.
