ELIXIR TOOLCHAIN GETS QUIET MAINTENANCE ACROSS CI/CD
By RepoJournal · Filed · About Elixir & Phoenix
Three routine dependency bumps landed in Elixir core overnight, touching your security scanning, code signing, and security analysis pipeline.
The Elixir team updated zizmor-action to 0.5.6 [1], bringing zizmor itself to version 1.25.2 as the default for supply chain security scanning in CI workflows. Separately, CodeQL Action bumped to 4.35.5 [2] with a significant optimization: the JavaScript bundles now shed around 70% repository bloat through better generation logic, which means faster action checkout times in your workflows. The bigger move came with Azure's trusted-signing-action jumping to 2.0.0 [3], a major version bump that migrates to the new artifactsigning module. None of these changes break existing workflows, but the major version bump on Azure's action warrants a quick check if you're signing release artifacts in CI.
