Bug fixes

• [IEx] Do not print ANSI sequences on IEx.Helpers.clear/0 if ANSI sequences are not supported
• [Inspect] Ensure Inspect.Algebra.to_doc/2 doesn't go into a loop when there is a failure printing a struct
• [Kernel] |>, <<<, >>> and ^^^ made left associative in operator table
• [Kernel] <, >, <=, >= given higher precedence than comparison operators (==, !=, etc) in the operator table
• [Kernel] Run command line and escripts in a process that does not trap exits
• [Kernel] Fix a bug where Mix paths had higher priority than CLI ones, causing protocol consolidations to not be properly loaded
• [Kernel] Fix wording on error messages when a check/guard always passes or always fails
• [Kernel] Fix a bug where an unused function warning was printed even when the function was used via defoverridable
• [Kernel] Improve typespecs so they don't generate supertype dialyzer warnings
• [Macro] to_string correctly displays sigils
• [Mix] Ensure Mix dependencies are not compiled every second time when mix deps.compile is invoked
• [Mix] Fix a bug where Mix.shell.error/1 and friends choked when printing a map
• [Mix] Ensure multiple @external_resource entries are read by Mix compilers
• [Mix] Fix a bug where tasks for umbrella projects were not properly reenabled
• [Stream] Fix bug when flat_map is used inside another flat_map with an Enumerable

Soft deprecations (no warnings emitted)

• [Kernel] Using a list for bitstring modifiers is deprecated (as in <<x :: [little, utf16]>>), please use - as the separator instead (as in <<x :: little-utf16>>)
• [System] System.cmd/1 is deprecated in favor of System.cmd/3

Deprecations

• [Mix] mix escriptize is deprecated in favor of escript.build
• [Mix] mix local.install and mix local.uninstall have been deprecated in favor of mix archive.install and mix archive.uninstall respectively
• [Mix] :embed_extra_apps for escripts is deprecated, instead list the dependencies inside def application
• [System] Giving a char list to System.find_executable/1 is deprecated

Backwards incompatible changes

• [Access] No longer fill in missing intermediate values with empty maps
• [Float] Float.ceil/2 and Float.floor/2 now always returns floats and no longer accept integers
• [Kernel] defstruct no longer automatically defines a type
• [Kernel] exit(integer) is no longer supported from scripts to configure the exit signal. Use exit({:shutdown, integer}) instead
• [Kernel] Default argument values have to be defined in a function head if the function has multiple clauses
• [Mix] mix archive.build replaces the functionality of mix archive, mix archive now lists locally installed archives
• [Mix] Mix.shell.info/1 no longer automatically escape ANSI sequences. Instead if has to be explicitly enabled with the ansi: true option
