Changelog for v1.8
View SourceThis release requires Erlang/OTP 25+.
Streamlined generators
- Extend tailwindcss support in new apps with daisyUI for light/dark/system mode support for entire app, including core components
- Simplify layout handling for new apps. Now there is only a single
root.html.heex
which wraps the render pipeline. Other dynamic layouts, likeapp.html.heex
are called as needed within templates as regular function components - Simplify core components and live generators to more closely match basic
phx.gen.html
crud. This serves as a better base for seasoned devs to start with, and lessens the amount of code newcomers need to get up to speed with on the basics - Introduce magic links (passwordless auth) and "sudo mode" to
mix phx.gen.auth
while simplifying the generated structure - Introduce scopes to Phoenix generators, designed to make secure data access the default, not something you remember (or forget) to do later
put_secure_browser_headers
put_secure_browser_headers
has been updated to the latest security practices. In particular, it sets the content-security-policy
header to "base-uri 'self'; frame-ancestors 'self';"
if none is set, restricting embedding of your application and the use of <base>
element to same origin respectively. If you expect your application to be embedded by third-parties, you want to consult the documentation.
The headers x-download-options
and x-frame-options
are no longer set as they have been deprecated by standards.
Deprecations
This release introduces deprecation warnings for several features that have been soft-deprecated in the past.
use Phoenix.Controller
must now specify the:formats
option, which may be set to an empty list if the formats are not known upfront- The
:namespace
and:put_default_views
options onuse Phoenix.Controller
are deprecated and emit a warning on use - Specifying layouts without modules, such as
put_layout(conn, :print)
orput_layout(conn, html: :print)
is deprecated - The
:trailing_slash
option inPhoenix.Router
has been deprecated in favor of usingPhoenix.VerifiedRoutes
. The overall usage of helpers will be deprecated in the future
