Upcoming 1.9 Mix releases and config
Just been reading @josevalim post on the upcoming 1.9 features (What’s new in Elixir – Apr/19 « Plataformatec Blog)
Is anyone else super excited about these??
I definitely am, and it has already cleared up some confusion for me about how to handle config at build/run time, and releases in general. Really happy to see progress here.

Elixir minor releases are done twice a year, usually around January and July.

Basic release handling and the config changes are certainly a big deal. Also the docs for mix release are incredibly well written. I’m just a bit sad my contributions to EEx didn’t make the cut into the blogpost. It’ll allow the use of functions with more than one callback/do/end block allowing to build things like complex components with multiple “slots”.

I am SO EXCITED for these particular improvements! Releases and configuration (in general but more specifically for releases) have been really the only two pain points for me in my time using Elixir. I am so glad Jose and the others have decided to make these two points a priority.
I’m looking forward to blog posts and articles covering these new features
