JOSE VALIM FIXES THE CLASUE BUG

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Elixir & Phoenix · Composed from the cited sources · methodology

Jose Valim shipped two refactors plus the actual fix for that `none` clause compiler issue, and a UTC fast path in DateTime could save you a TZ DB lookup.

Jose Valim landed a fix that removes `none` clauses when non-empty clauses exist, closing #15777 [1]. This one's a compiler behavior change, and he refactored the code first so the fix is easier to follow [1]. Meanwhile, Dino Kovač's `DateTime.add/4` and `shift_zone/3` UTC fast path [2] means UTC datetimes no longer hit the TZ database when the app isn't started [2]. It's a niche issue, but the benchmark data shows real gains on Apple M1 Max [2]. Both are open PRs, so now's the time to review [3]. The compiler change is the one to watch if you've hit that edge case [4]. Skip the domain computation extraction unless you're deep in that code [5].
