Is there any news?

In fact, without the update, Ejabber is a bit unhappy :-)
rebar3 binaries included with ejabberd requires Erlang 24+
I plan to workaround this by providing a Slackbuild for rebar3, but even
so, I think it would be a good idea to move to Erlang 25 or 26, unless
there's a good reason to stay with Erlang 23.

Also, Ejabberd can be used with Elixir, and in this case the
documentation highly recommend to use Elixir 1.13.4 or higher.

Best regards,
