We are happy to announce that PyJulia 0.2 is released! It now supports Julia 1.0 as well as 0.6.

Highlights:

- Importing Julia modules to Python now “just works” without any setup. You can run `from julia import Base, Main, YourFavoriteModule` without any configuration step.
- Julia objects in a module are pulled into Python only when necessary. It makes importing Julia modules fast.
- Virtual environment support (with a bit of restriction).
- More informative error message in case PyJulia is ill-configured.
- Limited support for Debian-family and conda (relevant for Julia ≥ 0.7). Unfortunately, fully supporting Julia 1.0 for all platforms is not straightforward ([yet](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/28518)). However, we find [a few workarounds](https://github.com/JuliaPy/pyjulia#troubleshooting) to help you start using PyJulia in such platforms.

Finally, important notice: Use [IPython](https://ipython.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) 7.0 or above for comfortable (:= segfault-free) interactive usage.
