ANN: Julia v0.5.0 released!

[Tony Kelman]

At long last, we can announce the final release of Julia 0.5.0! See the release notes at https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/release-0.5/NEWS.md for more details, and expect a blog post with some highlights within the next few days. Binaries are available from the usual place, and please report all issues to either the issue tracker or email the julia-users list. Don't CC julia-news, which is intended to be low-volume, if you reply to this message.

Many thanks to all the contributors, package authors, users and reporters of issues who helped us get here. We'll be releasing regular monthly bugfix backports from the 0.5.x line, while major feature work is ongoing on master for 0.6-dev. Enjoy!


We haven't made the change just yet, but to package authors: please be aware that `release` on Travis CI for `language: julia` will change meaning to 0.5 shortly. So if you want to continue supporting Julia 0.4 in your package, please update your .travis.yml file to have an "- 0.4" entry under `julia:` versions. When you want to drop support for Julia 0.4, update your REQUIRE file to list `julia 0.5` as a lower bound, and the next time you tag the package be sure to increment the minor or major version number via `PkgDev.tag(pkgname, :minor)`.

Good Job!

Small bug: Julia on Windows choose RC4 folder for install by default!!!

Great news, thanks to everyone who contributed to this great release! I’ve been using the release candidates for a couple of weeks, and 0.5 is a fantastic release.

 

Best,

David

Thanks Tony for your very hard work seeing this through to completion.

0.5 is a big improvement, and we have some equally juicy stuff planned for 0.6!

[Tobias Knopp]

I also want to thank you Tony for the excellent release management! 0.5 is an awesome release and in our research group the switch was absolutely smoothly.

Thanks,

Tobi
