Things are calm across the Elixir landscape at the moment. And that means mostly calm in Nerves land as well. I think vacations are coming. I know that's the case here in Sweden.

If you have interesting projects, hardware or libraries that you want the community of Nerves developers to know about, send them to lars@underjord.io or reply directly to this email and I'll happily consider them for upcoming newsletters :)

Official project updates

vintage_net_mobile, v0.11.4

• Fix deprecation warnings on Elixir 1.15

vintage_net_ethernet, v0.11.2

• Fix Elixir 1.15 deprecation warning

vintage_net, v0.13.3

• Sort dhcpd options so their order doesn’t change in configuration files made by OTP 26. This fixes regression test failures that expected the files to by the same. It shouldn’t matter for real use, but it’s nice that the files are deterministic just in case.
• Ignore unexpected messages to the InterfacesMonitor. This fixes an unnecessary crash/restart that was seen. Errors are still logged.

Community updates

Supporting the Nerves project

We want to encourage everyone to contribute in whatever way works for them. Here are some ways we currently recommend:

• Write or port a new hardware library and include it in the Elixir Circuits collection.
• Give money to the project via Open Collective.
• Get in touch about taking over maintenance duties for some libraries, we might be able to provide you hardware.
• Apply for an EEF stipend on something Nerves-related and build it. We can help if you have questions about this.
• Send corrections or improvements for documentation wherever it fails to help you.
• Write about Nerves, give talks about Nerves. Make videos about Nerves. It is all good.

Finally, if you have questions about the newsletter or want to suggest something you can simply respond to this email it will go directly to me, Lars, who edits this thing. Let me know what you think.
