Mob 0.9.20 released!

Mob 0.9.20 has been released.

Fixed

• iOS: an interrupted BEAM deploy to a physical iPhone leaves the previous
  code running (MOB-408). mob_beam.m loaded deployed BEAMs from the one
  directory Documents/otp/<app> whenever it existed, so a copy that died
  part-way left an override the app could not boot from. It now loads the
  highest-numbered Documents/otp/<app>.versions/<N> that has its
  .mob_complete marker, which mob_dev copies only after the upload is
  verified; then the legacy Documents/otp/<app>, then the bundle. Once it
  has chosen a version it deletes the older ones and the legacy directory.
  Development builds create Documents/otp/<app>.versions/ at each boot,
  which tells mob_dev 0.7.28 or later to use it. The choice is in
  ios/mob_code_versions.h, covered by test/native/code_versions_test.c.
  See decisions/2026-10-15-ios-versioned-code-dirs.md.
  Upgrading: the Documents wipe itself (devicectl --remove-existing-content erasing the app’s database, Library and every
  other file on each deploy) is fixed in mob_dev 0.7.28, with any mob. For
  crash-safe deploys, update both and run mix mob.deploy --native once: that
  deploy still writes Documents/otp/<app>, and the ones after it, once the
  new runtime has booted, use the numbered directories. Moving an app’s mob
  across 0.9.20 in either direction needs --native as well; when mob_dev
  relaunches the app after a fast deploy it doesn’t boot from, the deploy
  fails, naming the directory it booted from.
