Overview of the Elixir v1.16.0 Release Enhancements and Fixes

The Elixir community has announced the release of version 1.16.0 of the Elixir programming language. This new release introduces numerous enhancements and bug fixes, aimed at improving the developer's day-to-day experience. Key improvements in the EEx (Elixir's templating engine) include better diagnostics with relative file information. The Elixir compiler has seen additions such as more informative parsing options, error handling for mismatched delimiters, and hints for non-existing module names based on suffix and casing errors. The code formatter now trims trailing whitespace on heredocs, and the File module comes with a new `:offset` option in the `File.stream!/2` for more precise file handling. The Logger and Mix build tool applications also include new features to aid in debugging and code optimization. Several bug fixes address issues ranging from formatter quotes for atom keys to compiler optimizations. Additionally, the release includes soft and hard deprecations to prepare for future changes, encouraging best practices and maintaining code safety.
