Hello everyone,
We are glad to announce our first release candidate for Elixir v1.3.0. This release includes the new Calendar types as well as many improvements to the toolchain. We hope it will make everyone more productive, specially when using Mix and ExUnit.
Since this is a release candidate, there is a chance your package managers won’t be updated to include it. Luckily, you can use a version manager or compile from source.
To learn more about this release, read the CHANGELOG or access its docs.
We recommend everyone to take this new release for a spin and let us know how it goes. This release should be fully backwards compatible, please report any inconsistencies you find in our issues tracker.
Happy coding!

Nice one - thanks José (and team!)

By the way, this release includes a new warning when using imperative assignment. This means that, after updating Elixir, compiling your dependencies may emit many warnings. Many of those dependencies may already have been fixed, so we also recommend updating those dependencies at some point by running:
In case a dependency still emits warnings after migrating to latest, consider sending them a pull request.

Thanks Jose! I have not seen

Yes. The else form is in the release notes.

Great work. I really look forward to using the new Date and Time structs. (This is a lot better than the old
Date.from_erl({2016,01,02})that libraries like Timex provided).The new improved testing functionality and the great compilation improvements for Mix look very juicy as well.

I am looking to date/time/datetime improvement as well. It has been one of the most painful aspects of programming in Elixir so far: dealing with Calendar, Timex, Ecto.DateTime etc and converting between those.
It’s great that Elixir (unlike Ruby) will have proper types for time data. Ruby’s implementation is a joke, most notably lack of time type to hold clock hour as in
8:00 a.m..Timeclass does something else :).andrzejsliwa
Great step forward! I love ExUnit extensions (diffs, describe…) also access selectors are great improvement (looks like borrowed from Clojure, <3). Thanks José!

Great, I would like to know when the final version of v1.3.0 will be out.

There is no date set. We expect to release it this June but it will depend on user feedback. Therefore, if you give it a try, please let us know how it went.
