I am very happy that Julia 1.13 has finally been released!
30% shorter precompilation time: I can confirm that (Linux user).
And running the tests no longer triggers recompilation of my 500+ packages. Very happy!
Better code completion in the REPL: In particular, if I type:
include("examples/Tether_11<TAB>
the trailing .jl") gets appended.
I have the impression that compiling a system image needs more RAM, but I still need to confirm that.
