This podcast episode discusses several key updates in the Elixir community. The Erlang Ecosystem Foundation is urging community support for a grant aimed at enhancing the Ægis security project, which focuses on improving how packages are published and verified. The deadline for showing support for this grant is April 17th. Additionally, notable developments include the release of a comprehensive security audit from Hex.pm that identified and rectified several high-severity issues, a significant update on Tidewave by José Valim which introduces UI Variants and a new vision mode for web app recording, and the launch of a new Elixir Language Server Protocol (LSP) named Dexter. Other highlights involve updates to Lotus as a BI engine for Phoenix applications, and the introduction of Ghostty terminal emulator bindings that enhance LiveView with GenServer-based terminals. The episode also touches upon the ClickFix supply chain attack affecting Axios, raising concerns for open source maintainers.
