If you haven’t tried v1.8.0 out yet, please give it a try and give us feedback. If everything “just works™”, please let us know that too. Your feedback is really important! If no more bugs are reported, the final release will be done next week.
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. But if you are on Windows, you can simply use the installer.
I can’t seem to install 1.8.0-rc.1 or 1.8.0-rc.1-otp-21 via asdf. When I run asdf install elixir 1.8.0-rc.1-otp-21 or asdf install elixir 1.8.0-rc.1 the plugin reports that the .zip file cannot be found.
When I run asdf list-all elixir both 1.8.0-rc.0 & 1.8.0-rc.1 are listed as available.
When I run asdf uninstall elixir 1.8.0-rc.0-otp-21 and then asdf install elixir 1.8.0-rc.0-otp-21 to reinstall 1.8.0-rc.0, it downloads and installs fine.
Yes, I use that too. It works because it compiles the specified source instead of downloading a pre-compiled version (that apparently isn’t available yet).
No problems with any of my existing projects, either. Looking forward to using the final release soon.
