phoenix changelog

Hey there, code wizards! We've got some exciting updates to share that will make your development experience even more magical. Check out the latest changes and enhancements below. 🚀

  • New feature: WebSocket Header Magic! ✨
    We've sprinkled some extra magic on WebSocket connections by allowing you to pass through those sec-websocket-* headers. Now you can access all headers prefixed with "sec-websocket-" during WebSocket connections using the :sec_websocket_headers key in the :connect-info. This update ensures your WebSocket handling is top-notch, flexible, and in line with the latest standards. Thanks to Mark Felder for co-authoring this awesome feature!

  • New feature: npm + Docker = ❤️
    Deploying with phx.gen.release --docker just got easier! We've added a new section in the docs to guide you on using npm when deploying your Phoenix apps. Learn how to tweak your Dockerfile to include third-party JavaScript packages, ensuring all your assets are right where you need them during the build process. Say goodbye to dependency headaches in Docker environments!

  • Improvement: Streamlined Asset Management 🛠️
    We've removed the need to precompile the castore dependency, paving the way for future Erlang/OTP 28 updates. Plus, we’ve updated esbuild and tailwind dependencies to their latest versions in mix.exs, ensuring your project is running smoothly with the freshest tools in town.

  • Chore: Dependency Updates for Integration Tests 🔄
    Keeping things fresh, we've upgraded the esbuild, tailwind, and decimal libraries in our integration tests. These updates are part of our ongoing quest to ensure everything runs like a well-oiled machine, with improved performance, security, and compatibility.

Enjoy these enhancements and keep rocking that code! 🎸

This commit updates the Phoenix framework's asset management by removing the precompilation step for the castore dependency and adjusting the dependency requirements for jason. The change reflects an anticipated requirement for Erlang/OTP 28, which would allow for the omission of castore. Additionally, the commit updates the versions of the esbuild and tailwind dependencies in the mix.exs files for both single and umbrella applications, moving from ~> 0.8 to ~> 0.9 for esbuild, and from ~> 0.2.0 to ~> 0.3 for tailwind.

Overall, these modifications streamline the asset setup process and ensure that the project is using the latest compatible versions of essential dependencies, enhancing performance and maintainability.

This commit updates the dependencies for esbuild and tailwind in the integration test project of a Phoenix application. The esbuild version is upgraded from 0.8 to 0.9, while the tailwind dependency is updated from version 0.2 to 0.3. These changes are reflected in the mix.exs file where the specific versions are specified, and corresponding updates are made in the mix.lock file to ensure that the new versions are locked for consistent builds.

In addition to updating esbuild and tailwind, the commit also includes an upgrade of the decimal library from version 2.2.0 to 2.3.0. This reflects a broader effort to keep dependencies up-to-date, potentially improving performance, security, and compatibility within the integration tests. Overall, these updates are part of regular maintenance to ensure the project remains functional and efficient with the latest versions of its dependencies.

This commit enhances the WebSocket functionality in the Phoenix framework by adding support for passing through the sec-websocket-* headers. Specifically, it introduces the :sec_websocket_headers key in the :connect-info, allowing developers to access all headers prefixed with "sec-websocket-" during WebSocket connections. The changes include modifications to the lib/phoenix/socket/transport.ex file to accommodate this new feature, as well as updates to the integration tests to ensure that the specified headers are correctly extracted and available in the socket's connection information.

Additionally, the commit includes a rebase fix and is co-authored by Mark Felder. The modifications not only enhance the existing WebSocket handling capabilities but also ensure that the framework adheres to the latest standards and practices for WebSocket connections, improving overall functionality and flexibility for developers utilizing Phoenix in their applications.

This commit introduces a new section in the documentation related to using npm when deploying applications with the phx.gen.release --docker command in the Phoenix framework. It addresses the need for developers to modify their Dockerfile to properly include third-party JavaScript packages managed by npm or yarn. The documentation now provides specific examples of how to adjust the Dockerfile to fetch these packages, ensuring that the necessary assets are available during the build process.

In addition to the documentation updates, the commit also emphasizes the importance of adapting deployment steps when using third-party JavaScript package managers. It includes code snippets demonstrating how to integrate npm commands into the Docker build stages, allowing developers to streamline their asset management and build processes effectively. This enhancement aims to resolve issues related to dependency management in Docker environments, as noted in the linked issue on GitHub.
