Elixir v1.19.0-rc.2 is out! The last release candidate before v1.19 is here — and the community’s feedback is key before the final launch.

We have made major progress toward CRA readiness for the BEAM ecosystem!

🔙So far: CNA operations, OpenChain certification, and more already in place.

🔜Next up: signed OTP builds to lower compliance costs and strengthen sustainability.

What if the BEAM got hit by a worm? 🪱

We’ve been lucky so far — but luck runs out.
The Ægis Initiative is how we defend our ecosystem.

With Goatmire Elixir in your veins it is time to turn to your local community. A conference is a bunch of work, but attending or organizing a meetup is not that heavy.
