News includes Erlang OTP 28.2 release with improvements across the runtime and standard library, a significant update to the Elixir "whois" library for querying domain registration information, Tidewave Web adding Figma support for designer integration, a new KQL (Kibana Query Language) parser library from TvLabs, the Erlang Ecosystem Foundation now publishing vulnerability data directly to OSV.dev, and more! We also have an in-depth discussion about the difference between handling errors and designing for failure, exploring how Elixir and the BEAM give you the ability to plan for system recovery from unexpected exceptions using primitives like supervisors.
