View Source Changelog for v1.7

See the upgrade guide to upgrade from Phoenix 1.6.x.

Phoenix v1.7 requires Elixir v1.11+ & Erlang v22.1+.

Introduction of Verified Routes

Phoenix 1.7 includes a new Phoenix.VerifiedRoutes feature which provides ~p for route generation with compile-time verification.

Use of the sigil_p macro allows paths and URLs throughout your application to be compile-time verified against your Phoenix router(s). For example the following path and URL usages:

<.link href={~p"/sessions/new"} method="post">Log in</.link>

redirect(to: url(~p"/posts/#{post}"))

Will be verified against your standard Phoenix.Router definitions:

get "/posts/:post_id", PostController, :show
post "/sessions/new", SessionController, :create

Unmatched routes will issue compiler warnings:

warning: no route path for AppWeb.Router matches "/postz/#{post}"
  lib/app_web/controllers/post_controller.ex:100: AppWeb.PostController.show/2

Note: Elixir v1.14+ is required for comprehensive warnings. Older versions will work properly and warn on new compilations, but changes to the router file will not issue new warnings.

This feature replaces the Helpers module generated in your Phoenix router, but helpers will continue to work and be generated. You can disable router helpers by passing the helpers: false option to use Phoenix.Router.

phx.new revamp

The phx.new application generator has been improved to rely on function components for both Controller and LiveView rendering, ultimately simplifying the rendering stack of Phoenix applications and providing better reuse.

New applications come with a collection of well-documented and accessible core components, styled with Tailwind CSS by default. You can opt-out of Tailwind CSS with the --no-tailwind flag (the Tailwind CSS classes are kept in the generated components as reference for future styling).

1.7.14 (2024-06-18)

Bug fixes

  • Revert "Add follow_redirect/2 to Phoenix.ConnTest" (#5797) as this conflicts with follow_redirect/2 in LiveView, which is imported with ConnTest by default

1.7.13 (2024-06-18)

Bug fixes

  • Fix Elixir 1.17 warning in Cowboy2Adapter
  • Fix verified routes emitting diagnostics without file and position

JavaScript Client Bug Fixes

  • Fix error when sessionStorage is not available on global namespace

Enhancements

  • Add follow_redirect/2 to Phoenix.ConnTest
  • Use LiveView 1.0.0-rc for newly generated applications
  • Use new Phoenix.Component.used_input? for form errors in generated core_components.ex
  • Allow mix ecto.setup from the umbrella root
  • Bump Endpoint static cache manifest on config_change callback

1.7.12 (2024-04-11)

JavaScript Client Bug Fixes

  • Fix all unjoined channels from being removed from the socket when channel leave is called on any single unjoined channel instance

Enhancements

  • [phx.gen.auth] Add enhanced session fixation protection. For applications whichs previously used phx.gen.auth, the following line can be added to the renew_session function in the auth module:

      defp renew_session(conn) do
+   delete_csrf_token()

    conn
    |> configure_session(renew: true)
    |> clear_session()

    Note: because the session id is in a http-only cookie by default, the only way to perform this attack prior to this change is if your application was already vulnerable to an XSS attack, which itself grants more escalated "privileges” than the CSRF fixation.

JavaScript Client Enhancements

  • Only memorize longpoll fallback for browser session if WebSocket never had a successful connection
