The Julia developers are pleased to announce that the alpha version of Julia v0.7.0 is now available. You can find it in the “upcoming release” section of the downloads page at Download Julia . Alpha binaries are available right now for Linux (x86-64 and i686), macOS, and Windows (32- and 64-bit). A…

Can I simply copy my current ~/.juliarc.jl to ~/.julia/config and then rename it to startup.jl?

Yes. And add the symlink if you want 0.6 to use the same file.

Thanks! Probably I’ll keep them separate as a lot of old stuff seem obsoleted now. For example, Base.@everywhere is deprecated: it has been moved to the standard library package `Distributed`. Add `using Distributed` to your imports. So, the following line originally in ./juliarc.jl @everywhere …

You would still need the @everywhere. The macro is just located in the module Distributed now. Check out the documentation. Some things have also been renamed, eg @distributed instead of @parallel. https://docs.julialang.org/en/latest/manual/parallel-computing/

Thanks. Quickly scan the page. No idea what to do. Probably will leave it for the time being. Thanks anyhow!

what is the target date for 0.7.0-beta ?

I would like to get Pkg production ready for beta and any potential breaking C.I. changes done before it.

just a guess for the release of 0.7.0-beta, please… 3 days, 3 weeks, or 3 months? regards, /iaw

Ideally is to get 1.0 before/during Juliacon (Aug 7-11).

seems optimistic. I have been playing with 0.7-alpha, and basic packages like Distributions.jl do not install. (ERROR: LoadError: LoadError: LoadError: UndefVarError: RangeGeneratorInt not defined) so, about a month for 0.7-beta?
