KEYWORD OPERATIONS GET 15% FASTER, LIVE NAVIGATION EVENT BUG SEALED

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Elixir & Phoenix

Elixir core eliminates redundant list traversals in Keyword.pop while Phoenix LiveView closes a race condition where old view events leak into new views during navigation.

The Keyword module saw a meaningful optimization land in core [1]: pop/3, pop!/2, and pop_lazy/3 now execute in 2 list traversals instead of 3 by calling :lists.keyfind and delete_key directly rather than chaining fetch and delete. The benchmark shows ~1.15x speedup on average. This is the kind of foundational polish that compounds across thousands of applications. Meanwhile, Phoenix LiveView fixed a subtle but real race condition [2] where old DOM could still render during phx-remove transitions while the view registry already pointed to the new view, causing events to reach the wrong lifecycle. The fix switches owner lookup from ID-based to private view marker-based tracking. On the documentation front, Phoenix updated requirement blockquotes to use ExDoc admonitions for cleaner rendering [3], and LiveView's security guide now explicitly emphasizes never trusting user input in params and payloads [4]. A smaller cleanup removed unreachable dead code in LiveView's change tracking [5].
