Elixir v1.8.0-rc.0 released

Hi everyone,

We have just released Elixir v1.8.0-rc.0. For more information, checkout the CHANGELOG.

Please give it a try and give us feedback. If everything “just works™”, please let us know that too. Your feedback is really important!

To try it out, you can either compile the v1.8 branch from source OR use the precompiled files, as described in our install page .

Happy holidays!

Compiled and tested ex_cldr and other derived packages with no issues at all, and compilation did indeed feel faster. Thanks for yet another solid release.

Can’t wait to get my new Cldr.Calendars package out the door based upon the new Calendar behaviour additions. It will also support serving configuration to the new formatter as well.

You can build it with asdf straight from github using ref: like asdf install elixir ref:v1.8.0-rc.0

I can see that for supports a new :reduce argument, but it’s not mentioned in the master branch doc:

https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/master/Kernel.SpecialForms.html#for/1

Should I look somewhere else for the doc?

It seems our automated tools stopped updating the docs, we will investigate, thank you!
