Ecto shipped a fix for a long-standing splice parameter bug that was causing placeholder mismatches in dynamic expressions, while Phoenix moved to Bob's API for smarter Docker image selection in release generation.

Ecto's dynamic expression builder had a nasty problem: when splicing parameters, the postwalker appended the same parameter multiple times per placeholder occurrence, resulting in k placeholders generating k copies of parameters and broken bindings [1]. The fix recurses through splices into a map on first occurrence, so subsequent placeholders reuse the param instead of duplicating it [1]. That same release also tackles a data-modifying CTE planner cache traversal issue [2] that could corrupt query state. On the Phoenix side, `phx.gen.release` now uses Bob's API instead of hardcoded Docker image logic [3], which means generated Dockerfiles will automatically pull the optimal image for your target architecture and Elixir version. Phoenix also shipped Seenode deployment support [4], adding it as a first-class option alongside existing platforms. The Elixir repo meanwhile corrected documentation inconsistencies: `IO.read/2` docs incorrectly claimed the count argument was in bytes when it counts characters [5], and `MapSet.split_with/2` had a copy-pasted doctest that passed a two-element tuple to a single-argument predicate [6].
