Project updates

shoehorn, v0.9.3

This is an important update that fixes the Application restart functionality for Elixir 1.15 and later. All users who rely on this feature should check that it behaves as expected in their use cases.

Elixir 1.15 or later is now required.

Updates

• Rewrote application restart logic for Elixir 1.15+. See #138 for details. Thanks to @alanj853 for implementing and @cokron for independent verification.
• Clarify copyright and licensing for REUSE compliance

nerves_ssh, v1.1.0

This release removes support for Elixir 1.13.

Updates

• Add NervesSSH.add_subsystem/2 and NervesSSH.remove_system/2 for managing subsystems at runtime. @bjyoungblood
• Clarify licensing and copyrights to become REUSE compliant
• Minor updates to fix Elixir 1.19 warnings

vintage_net, v0.13.7

This release makes VintageNet compliant with the REUSE Specification .

Fixes

• Removed dependency on GenStateMachine and use :gen_statem directly. There’s no change in functionality, but it will remove the compilation warnings when building the GenStateMachine dependency.
• Fix Elixir 1.19 warnings
• Improve the error message when host compilation fails

Changed

• Only support Elixir 1.14 and later. It should work with Elixir 1.13 still, but this may change in the future without us noticing. Other libraries are requiring Elixir 1.14 and later, so please upgrade if this affects you.

vintage_net_qmi, v0.4.4

Added

• Licensing and copyright clarifications for REUSE compliance

Changed

• Elixir 1.19 error and warning fixes

qmi, v0.10.1

• Update licensing and copyright for REUSE compliance
• Ignore invalid emergency access barred values that were seen in the wild

nerves_system_br, v1.31.1

This is mostly a security/bug fix update for 1.31.1.

Package updates

• Erlang/OTP 27.3.4
• Buildroot 2025.02.3 (fixed 2025.02.2)
• fwup 1.13.0

mdns_lite, v0.9.0

This release adds experimental support for using igniter for installation. This currently isn’t needed since mix nerves.new adds it by default, but that may change in the future. Igniter is not included at runtime.

Changes

• Add Igniter installation support (@wln)
• Clarify copyright and licensing for REUSE compliance
