Elixir 1.16 introduces the ability to run multiple tests specifying line numbers

Source: elixirstreams.com

Before the release of Elixir 1.16, users could only run a single test file by specifying line numbers using the command 'mix test file_path:lineno'. Similarly, multiple test files could be executed without specifying line numbers with 'mix test file_path_1 file_path_2'. However, combining multiple files with line numbers in one command was not possible and would result in an error. Elixir 1.16 addresses this limitation by allowing developers to run multiple test files with specified line numbers using a single command, such as 'mix test file_path_1:lineno file_path_2:lineno', improving the testing workflow.
