Julia previous versions download

[Georgiana Onicescu]

I have installed the current version of Julia 0.3.5 and as far as I know the Rmath library is no longer available (also it gave me an error when I tried to install it). I have some previous programs that I have created using Julia 0.2.0 in which I use Rmath. Is there any archive where I can download Julia version 0.2.0 so that it is compatible with my program? If not, is there a way to install Rmath for Julia version 0.3.5? In my programs I use the dnorm function and this is why I need to use Rmath.

Thank you!

Hello Georgiana.  We've moved a lot of the functionality provided by Rmath out into separate packages, such as Distributions.jl, which I believe should host the functionality you're looking for, although I think it's under a different name than `dnorm`.  I think something like the following should give you dnorm-like functionality:

julia> using Distributions

julia> µ = 1.0

1.0

julia> σ = 1.5

1.5

julia> d = Normal(µ, σ)

Normal(μ=1.0, σ=1.5)

julia> pdf(d,1.0)

0.2659615202676218

Note that you will need to have installed the Distributions package for this to work, do that via Pkg.add("Distributions").  If for some other reason you really need an older version of Julia, we do host them, but the links aren't published anywhere at the moment.  Here are the links for your convenience, although I do highly suggest massaging your script to work on the 0.3.X line of Julia releases; there are many, many improvements to usability, speed, and language coherence.  Also note that we cannot provide support for this old of a release of Julia, if you run into bugs or such, the most likely response to any bug report will be "please upgrade to 0.3.5".

0.2.1 download links:

Julia 0.2.1 Win64

Julia 0.2.1 Win32

Julia 0.2.1 OSX 10.7+

Julia 0.2.1 OSX 10.6+

If you are on Linux, you may be able to install Julia 0.2.1 through your package manager by explicitly asking for an older version.  You may also be able to compile Julia from source, although many of the dependencies probably have newer versions released and may not be distributing their sources at the same URLs the buildscripts will attempt to download them from.

I don't do stats but it looks like Rmath is still part of Julia, e.g.:
https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/6131 but will be removed in
the future.

But I doubt that it will be kicked out without its functionality being
replaced. Have you looked at https://github.com/JuliaStats ?

Anyways, here the downloads:

Ah, Mauro found them published!  I didn't find that "old releases" page, and I look at the main downloads page more than just about anyone!  :P

Yep, it's hidden in the text. Maybe the link could be a bit more prominent?

Maybe like so: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julialang.github.com/pull/195

There's also Rmath.jl, which provides the actual dnorm function. This would be the easiest quick-fix, although I would recommend following Mauro's and Elliot's advice above. 

Cheers,

Thank you, I downloaded the previous version of Julia and Rmath worked!
