My bet is on the Elixirconf EU

Now I don’t know whether I should delay starting a new project I intended to implement with Phoenix, use master branch, or start with 1.5.x 
Any advice from the Phoenix team on the account of how difficult will the upgrade path be?

Hi @yrashk! 
It doesn’t matter much because those changes only apply to the generated application. You can migrate your application at any time, before v1.6 or after. The release notes may contain such steps and projects like PhoenixDiff are very helpful here too.
In the case of esbuild, I already have a sample commit here: https://github.com/josevalim/phx_esbuild_demo/commit/0546034f26ac5d58d12867e5843037ce1b2d4dd1
If you have experience with node/npm/webpack though, I would just stick with v1.5, as you will likely be able to navigate any pain points.

I usually start my day with yarn outdated && yarn upgrade --all in the asset dir.
Will it be possible with esbuild?

Hey @josevalim, long time no see!
Thanks! I do have quite a bit of experience with webpack — but I can’t say I love it. All that matters to me is a clear upgrade path once 1.6 is out
Thanks for your pointers.

Sweet! I always wished there was a tool like this.
Here’s a working link (the scheme was missing): PhoenixDiff.

Just want to throw out https://utils.zest.dev/gendiff as well for generating diffs
this one lets you customize flags. I updated it to allow for the new flags --database=sqlite3, --no-assets, and --no-mailer for when 1.6 lands. Whenever phx_new 1.6 is published to hex, the tool should start seeing it within 24hrs; in the meantime you can diff against “master” (though keep in mind diffing against master will take a bit longer).

So, 22% including me got it wrong. It is 10 days. Another 22% people choice will be assessed this week. Let us see.

We started a new project of off master to get 1.6.0-dev benefits of esbuild. Great improvement btw, the app launches so quickly and with no ceremony. I love it!
When 1.6.0 is launched, will we be able to “upgrade” it to use the launched version?

Is there an upgrade path from projects generated with dev versions of Phoenix to RC or final versions?
