Phoenix LiveView dropped a patch release overnight that kills stale diffs and cancels orphaned tasks, while Phoenix's release generator just got smarter about picking Docker images.

Phoenix LiveView v1.2.11 landed with three bug fixes that touch the sharpest edges of the framework: stale diffs are now discarded when a view rejoins before the initial join completes, and a LiveComponent's async tasks are cancelled the moment it's removed, which should kill a whole class of ghost-process bugs [1]. The formatter also stops migrating expressions that close early, closing issue #4409 [2][3]. Over in Phoenix, the release generator now leans on Bob's API for structured filters and numeric-aware natural sorting instead of running its own version-comparison logic, so `phx.gen.release` picks the newest compatible Elixir/OTP image without the client-side guesswork [4][5]. The same Bob upgrade is reflected in the Web UI links in templates and guides, which now pre-filter by repo and OS and sort newest first [6][7]. The Elixir core repo is quiet, but a PR to widen stacktrace metadata types is open, aiming to match OTP's contract and allow arbitrary keyword metadata in `__STACKTRACE__` and `:erlang.raise/3` [8].
