Thanks!

So far I’ve been testing our project with the RC-0 version and I have not found any problems. In fact everything has worked properly and the compilation times have been reduced.

I’ll second that you should give a version manager a try. Any of the Elixir specific version managers will do the trick, but I highly recommend asdf.

If you work with any other languages there is a good chance you need to manage those as well, asdf will do that just as well as it manages Elixir. On our team we manage Erlang, Elixir, Node, Python and Ruby versions with the same tool.

It won’t - it has been moved to 1.7 so we can collect more feedback and evolve it further before merging.

Sergio - another option you may wish to try.

Find exenv very helpful.

exenv install 1.6.0-rc.1
exenv local 1.6.0-rc.1
exenv global 1.6.0-rc.1
exenv rehash

Thanks.
I’ve been using 1.6 branch for at least two months in my projects. I had some minor issues with deps compilation but the overall quality is very good. rc1 looks fine too.
I haven’t formatted my whole codebase as there are cases where the formatter decreases source readability and it’s not worth the huge diffs.
I think that the changelog should mention String.split by "" as a breaking change though. IMO it’s previous behavior was not a bug to begin with and the change did break my code.
