Phoenix just dropped v1.8.13 as a patch to reconnect LiveView sockets when Chrome 149+ resumes tabs, and it's the only release that matters today.

Phoenix v1.8.13 is out, and it's a must-have for anyone serving LiveView to mobile users [1]. The release addresses a workaround where Mobile Chrome 149+ would not reconnect after a tab is resumed, an issue that broke live updates for anyone who switched away and came back [2]. The same fix is mirrored in the phoenix_live_view repo, where #6803 closes a related report that otherwise strands users on stale views [3]. The release notes explicitly call it a "Workaround issue where Mobile Chrome 149+ would not reconnect after tab is resumed" [1]. Over on the core Elixir repo, José Valim is chipping away at the warning backlog with a commit to "Fix more warnings during test suite runs" [5]. And in live_view land, preciz optimized the option lookup for live streams by taking options once, a small but welcome efficiency gain [4]. With activity this period at just 4 commits, 2 PRs, and 1 release, this is a tight, focused window: patch phoenix, stay calm elsewhere.
