Deprecations

  • [mix compile.phoenix] Adding the :phoenix compiler to your mix.exs (compilers: [:phoenix] ++ Mix.compilers()) is no longer required from Phoenix v1.6 forward if you are running on Elixir v1.11. Remove it from your mix.exs and you should gain faster compilation times too
  • [Endpoint] Phoenix now requires Cowboy v2.7+
  • [View] @view_module is deprecated in favor of Phoenix.Controller.view_module/1 and @view_template is deprecated in favor of Phoenix.Controller.view_template/1
