Why this exists
This site is just meant to provide a nice visualization and navigation of Elixir releases. Including graphs that help us quickly understand what is changing and how the language evolves.
Release details are sourced directly from the official GitHub release tags and organized into charts and readable summaries for each version.
Daniel Lionel broke down every Gleam changelog by category, visualized the data, and highlighted that none of this reflects the effort behind each entry. That playful spirit was the spark for building this Elixir-focused companion.
“For no particular reason I broke down the changelogs by category for every @gleamlang release and visualised them. Disclaimer: this is totally arbitrary and does not reflect the effort put into each changelog entry. Gleam team is not slowing down 🌚”
My name is Cristian and I’ve been working with Elixir for multiple years. I’m passionate about the language, tooling and ecosystem, but I am not affiliated with the Elixir organization in any way.
I am just a programmer who wants to help others discover what makes Elixir special and how the language keeps evolving.

Changelog data is pulled from GitHub release tags, parsed into structured entries, and rendered with charts so you can see trends per release and per change type.
Each version page highlights bugfixes, enhancements and deprecations with counts and descriptions, while the homepage makes navigating the full archive effortless.
Think of it as a lightweight storytelling layer on top of Elixir’s official changelog.
There are no ads, no trackers, and no monetization hooks anywhere on this site. It is a simple gift to the Elixir community and exists purely to make it easier to explore the language’s releases.
