How long does usually take to update Docker Official Image?
There’s no official docker image. The non-namespaced elixir one is also community provided.
That’s still not managed by anyone of the core team afaik: GitHub - c0b/docker-elixir: Official Docker image for Elixir 🐢 🚀 · GitHub

They’re “official” docker images, but not maintained by the core team. For more details, checkout Moving github repo of the official docker image to elixir-lang org
Official in the Docker world but not the Elixir world 
There is only one last major feature planned for upcoming Elixir versions, which is the addition of
mix releaseto Elixir itself
^ 1.9?
Your turn.
^ 2.0?
I’ve found a piece of code that does not compile on 1.8.0 but does compile on 1.7.4 I didn’t pinpoint exactly the problem, but will try to do it today, or at least this week if time permits. It has to do with a rather longish with else, and Erlang’s meck library (I used Elixir Mock and MecksUnit, but error’s stays the same. I’ll try to make a reproducible example.
I can’t post error message now (not at correct machine, just browsing forums with my morning coffee). What wanted to ask is: should I make a post here at forums, or just straight to github issues?

@sztosz there was an issue opened for meck which has been fixed and a new meck release has been done. Could that be it? But opening an issue sounds good, just please include a way for us to reproduce it.

Would love to know who the maintainers are - lots of people deploying docker images from a completely anonymous github / docker hub account. “Official”, indeed!
