Petal Pro v1.5.0 released - Phoenix 1.7 Upgrade

Petal Pro v1.5.0 is now available to download for our subscribed members 🎉

To download the new version you’ll need to create a new project or upgrade your existing project like in the gif below.

The big upgrade with 1.5.0 is the implementation of Phoenix 1.7 which has a number of distinct advantages you can read more about here.

How to download

We have a new layout - we hope you like it! We spent a lot of time fussing over it and have streamlined the experience to hopefully make it easier to manage projects and upgrades to new versions.

In the projects section under Petal Pro in the side menu, you’ll need to create a new project (if you haven’t already) or edit your existing project.

If creating a new project, it should automatically select 1.5.0 as the newest version, but to update your project from a previous version to 1.5.0, you’ll need to click Edit and change the version number from 1.x.x to 1.5.0 and hit save. Now you should be able to download 1.5.0.

What’s changed?

• Upgraded Phoenix to 1.7
• Routes use the new verified routes
• Authentication pages converted to live views
• Upgraded fully from Hericons v1 to v2
• petal.gen.live now uses the Data Table component
• Tesla now uses the more secure Finch over Hackney
• Confirmation page will redirect to org invitations if invitation exists
