Three things are happening quickly. First, I am slowly working through my LiveView content, both on Groxio and for the @pragprog Programming LiveView with Sophie. Second, I am holding a LiveView class, the first in a year, from January 25-27. We'll cover up to date components and lots of Ecto, more than usual. Finally, I am finishing the first cut of the book I started on the Great Loop, called Currently Away. If you want to be on our launch team so we can buy it all at the same time (yes, Maggie and I will buy individual copies too), go to currentlytheboat.com and there's a link to a form that you can fill out. This feels like my first two productive weeks since the Great Loop ended.

Since I just saw yet another developer use '1.2.3.4' in an example configuration, a reminder that you MUST NOT use publicly routable addresses that you do not control in your code.

Instead, use one of the available 'TEST-NET' IPv4 or IPv6 ranges documented in RFC 6890, such as;

192.0.2.0/24
198.51.100.0/24
203.0.113.0/24

❌ 1.2.3.4
✅ 192.0.2.4

Pass it on to all of your fellow developers, documentation writers, and so forth.

Full RFC is here;

A new version of LFE has been released!

2.1.0 is here 😍

Not only that, but @rvirding has some more improvements on the way (a 2.1.1 release is already planned for addressing some long-standing matching edge cases).
