004 - Peter announces Pushin.eu, Oban 2.24, and Ash CVEs
Peter announces Pushin.eu, a GitHub competitor hosted in the EU, written in Elixir. Other topics include Phoenix ships security patches spanning four versions, Oban 2.24 and Oban Pro 1.8rc land, and Ash publishes a batch of CVEs alongside a wave of new Elixir tool releases. ## FOLLOW UPS - Steffen Deusch — Phoenix gets security patches going back 4 versions (1.5 to 1.8) https://bsky.app/profile/steffend.me/post/3mthapcxlwk2v - "Apps using old Phoenix should still update, for sure, but not necessarily for security reasons" - "As a general note: a common misconception is also that people think they have to copy whatever changes we did to the generators. That's not the case. You can of course do that, but it's in no way a requirement to update to later Phoenix versions. It's 1.x, so updates are generally non-breaking." ## NEWS - Nerves has an AI policy now https://github.com/nerves-project/nerves/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#ai-assisted-contributions - Oban 2.24 and Oban Pro 1.8rc are out - Oban v2.24.0 released https://elixirforum.com/t/oban-v2-24-0-released/76462 - Oban Pro announcement https://bsky.app/profile/oban.pro/post/3mtwjkkwzy22v - oban-bg/oban v2.24.0 release notes https://github.com/oban-bg/oban/releases/tag/v2.24.0 - Oban Pro changelog https://oban.pro/docs/pro/changelog.html - samly (Elixir SAML client) has security issues and needs maintainers https://forum.elixirforum.com/t/samly-add-saml-sso-to-your-phoenix-application-now-with-multiple-identity-provider-support/8511/50 - Ash releases a bunch of CVEs https://cna.erlef.org/cves - Quite a lot of small tools were released.
