Elixir 1.14 is great!

However, the new release format seems to be causing trouble.

So far I’ve seen 2 tools that automate around the release assets.

  1. scoop (one of the package management tools on Windows) fails to install 1.14
    It tries to get checksum from the release note (now gone, moved into a release asset)
    It tries to download Precompiled.zip, which now changed to elixir-otp-23.zip, elixir-otp-24.zip, and elixir-otp-25.zip
    Main/bucket/elixir.json at master · ScoopInstaller/Main · GitHub

  2. Renovate (similar to dependabot) fails to update dependencies (when trying to install elixir 1.14)
