phoenix changelog

Here's the latest scoop on the Phoenix framework updates! We've got some awesome improvements and enhancements to make your development experience smoother and more enjoyable. Let's dive into the highlights:

Improvement: The guides/contexts.md file received a makeover! 🛠️ We've polished up those Elixir code snippets to perfection, ensuring clarity and correctness. Migration files for creating products, cart items, orders, and line items now come with all the bells and whistles, like precision and scale for decimal fields. Plus, the documentation now makes it a breeze to understand schema associations within the ShoppingCart context. You'll be a Phoenix pro in no time!

Improvement: Starting a new Phoenix app just got easier! ⚡ The "Up and Running" guide now features an express option for supported OSes, letting you kick things off with a single command. No worries if you're on an unsupported system; we've got you covered with the traditional mix phx.new method. Plus, the release notes now remind us to update Elixir and Erlang/OTP versions on the official site. Smooth sailing ahead for new devs and framework maintainers!

Improvement: Dark mode lovers, rejoice! 🌙 The README header image now adapts to your color scheme preference. We've added a snazzy phoenix-orange.png for dark mode, while the classic phoenix.png shines in light mode. It's all about that visual experience, folks!

Chore: We've done some housekeeping with a dependency update. 📦 The mix.exs and mix.lock files got a refresh, ensuring our project stays in tip-top shape with the latest and greatest libraries. It's all about keeping things secure, functional, and running smoothly.

Enjoy these updates and happy coding with Phoenix! 🚀

This commit introduces an adaptation of the README header image to support dark mode by adding a new image file, phoenix-orange.png, specifically designed for dark-themed displays. The commit modifies the README.md file to include a <picture> element that allows the appropriate logo to be displayed based on the user's color scheme preference.

With this update, when a user has their system set to dark mode, the phoenix-orange.png image will be shown, while the traditional phoenix.png will be displayed in light mode. This enhances the visual experience of the README file, ensuring that the Phoenix logo is appropriately represented in both light and dark environments. The changes resulted in five additions and one deletion in the README file, improving accessibility and aesthetics for users.

This commit includes significant updates to the "Up and Running" guide and the release instructions for the Phoenix framework. The "Up and Running" section has been expanded to introduce two methods for starting a new Phoenix application: the express option for supported operating systems and the traditional method using mix phx.new. The express option simplifies the setup by allowing users to run a single command that installs all necessary dependencies and generates a new application, while also providing fallback options for unsupported systems. This update enhances user experience by streamlining the initial setup process.

Additionally, the release instructions have been modified to refine the steps required before publishing a new version of the framework. Notably, the checklist now includes an update to the Elixir and Erlang/OTP versions on the official Phoenix website, ensuring that users are aware of the latest requirements. Overall, these changes improve documentation clarity and usability, facilitating a smoother onboarding process for new developers and a more efficient release workflow for maintainers.
