  • [mix phx.new] Add description to Ecto telemetry metrics
  • [mix phx.new] Use Ecto.Adapters.SQL.Sandbox.start_owner!/2 in generators - this approach provides proper shutdown semantics for apps using LiveView and Presence

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+
