Great! Another thing, on what version can we expect the @impl and defoverridable using module name get released? I check the issue but there’s no information about it. Anyway, thank you for the release.

@josevalim Is iex history enabled out of the box now or do we need to do something to enable it?

Excellent, thank you!

Edit: Though I am surprised it isn’t somehow enabled by default. It seems like it would add quality of life for everybody.

Added a comment in the PR. I can help.

The feature is considered experimental by the OTP team. If everything works correctly, I’m pretty sure it will be on by default in the next release.

@mischov: I’m currently using erlang-history.

Just trying out the history, I have ERL_AFLAGS=-kernel shell_history enabled in my env and it works great but I’ve noticed one little wrinkle. If I quit with C-c C-c the last command isn’t saved. If I use C-g q then it is. (It’s the same in erl too). Time to re-train the quit muscle memory :slight_smile:
