Description: Report proper line number for doctest failures
Type: bugfix

Tool: Elixir
Module: Enum
Description: `Enum.uniq/2` is deprecated in favor of `Enum.uniq_by/2`
Type: enhancement
Tool: Elixir
Module: Kernel
Description: `\x` inside strings and charlists is deprecated in favor of `\uXXXX` and `\u{X*}`.

Type: enhancement
Tool: Elixir
Module: Regex
Description: Ungreedy option `r` is deprecated in favor of `U` (which is standard in regular expressions in other languages)
Type: enhancement
Tool: Elixir
Module: Access
Description: Implementing the Access protocol is deprecated. The Access protocol relies on the code server in development and test mode (when protocol consolidation is not applied) and it generated a bottleneck when working with multiple processes and the Access protocol was invoked hundreds of times (which is not uncommon). Note the `Access` module and the `opts[key]` syntax are not affected and they are not deprecated, only the underlying protocol dispatch
Type: enhancement
Tool: Elixir
Module: Kernel
Description: `?\xHEX` is deprecated in favor of `0xHEX`. There is no situation where the former should be used in favor of the latter and the latter is always cleaner
Type: enhancement
Tool: Elixir
Module: Kernel

Type: enhancement
Tool: Elixir
Module: String
Description: Passing an empty string to `starts_with?`, `contains?` and `ends_with?` had dubious behaviour and have been deprecated to help developers identify possible bugs in their source code
