View Source Changelog

v0.11.4 (2024-04-09)

Add support for Liveview ~> 0.20.10 (#743)

v0.11.3 (2024-04-09)

Restrict phoenix_live_view version up to 0.20.9 due to compatibility issues introduced by phoenix_live_view 0.20.10 regarding debug annotations.

Soft Deprecations

Link has been deprecated in favor of liveview's built-in <.link>. See https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix_live_view/live-navigation.html for more info.

v0.11.2 (2024-02-19)

Add support for Liveview >= v0.20 (#714)
Add support for debug annotations using liveview's debug_heex_annotations config.
Avoid using deprecated hidden_inputs_for in HiddenInputs (#716)
Update Tailwind patcher for phx_new >= 1.7.8 (#724)
Add a Dockerfile patcher for surface.init (#727)
Fix error related to _persistent_id (#716)
Fix warning about negative steps in Elixir 1.16 (#718 and #722)
Fix Malformed HTML in rendered.js error
Fix error when passing special chars as literals inside an expression

Soft Deprecations

LivePatch and LiveRedirect have been deprecated in favor of liveview's built-in <.link>. See https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix_live_view/live-navigation.html for more info.
The Form component along with all form inputs will be moved to a separate project and later deprecated in favor of their LiveView built-in counterparts.
Scope-aware context as described in https://surface-ui.org/contexts#scope-aware-context will be deprecaded and fully removed in v0.13. The reason is the lack of built-in support for the feature in Liveview itself, which leads to inefficient diff-tracking when using it. Global context related functions like Context.put and Context.get, as well as the :from_context option, will be kept as their use don't affect diff-tracking negatively.
