SteffenDE landed five critical fixes for LiveView's upload handler in one sweep, while the Elixir core team optimized Version comparison and regex operations.

Phoenix LiveView's upload system received a comprehensive fix batch [1][2][3][4][5] addressing max_entries validation, auto-upload scheduling, writer error handling, and native input attribute management. The most impactful: LiveView now accepts new file drops after hitting too_many_files errors when max_entries is 1 [1], fixes max_entries enforcement for auto uploads [3], and ensures custom upload writer errors surface properly instead of silencing them [5]. On the Elixir side, Version.compare/2 now avoids allocating tuples when comparing parsed %Version{} structs directly [6], and regex operations skip redundant system_info calls on Erlang/OTP 28+ by pattern matching first [7]. The build toolchain also got faster: Elixir switched from ScanCode to Provenant Scanner in OSS Review Toolkit v92.2.0, delivering cleaner performance [8]. Ecto rounded out the period with configurable timestamp handling, letting developers specify :writable and :on_writable_violation options on inserted_at through the timestamps macro [9].

→ Review your upload handlers for silent writer errors - they now surface correctly phoenixframework/phoenix_live_view [monitor]
→ Pull latest Elixir if running Erlang/OTP 28+ to benefit from regex optimization elixir-lang/elixir [monitor]
