phoenix changelog

Welcome to the latest changelog! We've been busy squashing bugs, improving docs, and making your experience smoother. Let's dive into the details! 🚀

Bugfixes 🐛

  • Fix doctest in phx.gen.auth (#5835): We've patched up a doctest in the phx.gen.auth context to ensure the URL generation syntax is spot on. Now, the deliver_<%= schema.singular %>_update_email_instructions function's example is accurate and ready to guide you seamlessly.
  • Remove 'antialiased' CSS class from root template (#5827): Bid farewell to the 'antialiased' CSS class! Modern browsers and OSes have upped their subpixel-antialiasing game, making this class obsolete. We’ve updated the home.css and root.html.heex files to reflect this change.
  • Fix heading in 1.7.12 changelog: We tidied up the changelog by correcting the formatting of the "JavaScript Client Enhancements" section. Proper headings for the win!

Improvements ✨

  • Align time and duration values in a couple of show/hides (#5836): We've synchronized the transition times and durations in our show/hide functions. Expect smoother and more consistent visual effects when elements appear or disappear.
  • Correct documentation about route helpers generation (#5823): Our docs just got clearer! We updated the lib/phoenix/router.ex file to provide accurate info about the :as and :singleton options for route helpers. Kudos to Andrew Pozdnyakov for the co-authoring assist!
  • Allow mix ecto.setup from the umbrella root (#5692): Running mix ecto.setup just got easier! You can now execute this command from the root of your umbrella project, making database setup a breeze.

That’s all for now! Keep an eye out for more updates and happy coding! 🎉

This commit aligns the transition time and duration values in a couple of show/hide functions within the core components module. The changes ensure that the time and duration values for the transitions are consistent and aligned properly, improving the overall functionality and user experience of the show/hide operations.

The specific changes involve updating the transition time and duration values in the show function for two different selectors within the core components module. By aligning these values, the transitions will be smoother and more consistent, enhancing the visual effects when elements are shown or hidden on the web page.

This commit removes the 'antialiased' CSS class from the root template in the project. The class was originally added to improve font rendering consistency across browsers and operating systems, but over time, the default subpixel-antialiasing in browsers and operating systems has proven to produce better results than the 'antialiased' class. The commit references various discussions and resources on the topic, highlighting the shift away from using the 'antialiased' class for font smoothing.

The changes made in the commit include removing the 'antialiased' class from the home.css file and updating the body class in the root.html.heex file to exclude the 'antialiased' class. These changes reflect the decision to no longer use the 'antialiased' class for font smoothing in the project, aligning with the improved default subpixel-antialiasing provided by browsers and operating systems.

This commit fixed a heading in the 1.7.12 changelog by correcting the formatting of the JavaScript Client Enhancements section. The commit made changes to the CHANGELOG.md file, with one addition, one deletion, and two changes. Specifically, the heading "JavaScript Client Enhancements" was corrected to "### JavaScript Client Enhancements" to ensure proper formatting.

Additionally, the commit included a note about the session id being in an http-only cookie by default, and mentioned that the only way to perform a certain attack prior to the change was if the application was already vulnerable to an XSS attack. The commit also mentioned a specific enhancement related to the JavaScript client, stating that the longpoll fallback for browser session would only be memorized if the WebSocket had never had a successful connection.

This commit allows the mix ecto.setup command to be run from the root of an umbrella project. Previously, this command could only be run from within individual applications within the umbrella project. The changes made in this commit modify the mix.exs file in the phx_umbrella template to include the necessary configuration for running mix ecto.setup from the root of the umbrella project.

Specifically, the commit modifies the aliases section of the mix.exs file to include the ecto.setup command, which now includes the commands ecto.create, ecto.migrate, and run #{__DIR__}/priv/repo/seeds.exs. This change allows for setting up the Ecto database from the root of the umbrella project, streamlining the development process for users working with umbrella projects.

This commit corrects the documentation regarding route helper generation in Phoenix. The changes made to the lib/phoenix/router.ex file include updating the information about the :as option, specifying that if the value is nil, it will not generate a helper. This clarification is important for developers using verified routes exclusively. Additionally, the commit includes changes to the explanation of the :singleton option for defining routes for a singleton resource without referencing an ID.

The commit was co-authored by Andrew Pozdnyakov and involved modifying the documentation in the router file. The updates provide more accurate information about configuring named helpers and scoping in Phoenix routes, ensuring that developers have clear and correct guidance when working with route helpers in their applications.
