Elixir v1.8.0-rc.0 released

Hi everyone,

We have just released Elixir v1.8.0-rc.0. For more information, checkout the CHANGELOG.

Please give it a try and give us feedback. If everything “just works™”, please let us know that too. Your feedback is really important!

To try it out, you can either compile the v1.8 branch from source OR use the precompiled files, as described in our install page .

Happy holidays!

@josevalim Awesome work especially that you released it today! I have just tried it and for now everything seems to work. I have only one question … Is it expected to work like that?

> DateTime.now("Etc/Universal")
{:error, :utc_only_time_zone_database}
> DateTime.now("Etc/Zulu")     
{:error, :utc_only_time_zone_database}
> DateTime.now("Etc/UTC")
{:ok, #DateTime<2018-12-24 15:15:00.471176Z>}

Maybe I do not get how it should work, but I though that all of those 3 names are correct for UTC

No need, just update plugin and use asdf install elixir 1.8.0-rc.0-otp-21 :077:

Compiled and tested ex_cldr and other derived packages with no issues at all, and compilation did indeed feel faster. Thanks for yet another solid release.

Can’t wait to get my new Cldr.Calendars package out the door based upon the new Calendar behaviour additions. It will also support serving configuration to the new formatter as well.

You can build it with asdf straight from github using ref: like asdf install elixir ref:v1.8.0-rc.0

All of my tests for Kiq, Flippant and Braintree are passing. Overall there was no breakage and very few warnings.

Compilation didn’t take very long for any of those libraries in the first place, but Kiq is down to ~2.1s after the upgrade.

Where Next?
