Phx.tools updates following Phoenix LiveView 1.0 release

Following the recent release of Phoenix LiveView 1.0, a major milestone for the Elixir and Phoenix ecosystem, we’ve updated Phx.tools.

- Upgraded Elixir and Erlang versions
- Updated Phoenix LiveView to the 1.0 version

Since there’s now https://new.phoenixframework.org/myapp, a Phoenix quick-start script, I was wondering whether there’s still a need for Phx.tools. I was willing to deprecate the project, but then I realized the new script doesn’t fit the needs of me or any other consultant working on multiple projects simultaneously since there’s no version manager available in the new.phoenixframework.org.

So, Phx.tools is here to stay. The new quick-start script from the Phoenix team is probably the simplest and easiest way for beginners to try Phoenix (Livebook is up there). Still, anyone serious about the app/web development using Phoenix will also need a version manager (mise) and maybe PostgreSQL.
