Julia 1.0.1 testing period

Announcements
1

Hi folks!

Julia’s release-1.0 branch now contains the set of commits we’re planning to call v1.0.1. You can view the list of commits here. As a patch release, this should be strictly non-breaking for existing code and should introduce no features, only bugfixes.

We invite users and especially package authors to test their code with a source build of the release-1.0 branch to ensure that there are no changes in behavior aside from bugs being fixed. We plan to move forward with a 1.0.1 release after a few days, so let us know on GitHub by submitting an issue if you run into anything fishy. A package evaluation run showed no regressions in packages, so we’re likely all good here, but it’s always worthwhile to have more testing and assurance, especially for patch releases.

Thanks!

Binaries available? Or only source builds?

For the prerelease there are no source builds yet but we could probably build some.

Would be very nice. I stopped building from source locally, as i saw many times a complete LLVM build which stops my box for hours…

You can set USE_BINARYBUILDER_LLVM in Make.user which will just download a built llvm.

Is there a way to use this version on CI, eg Travis?

Where was this documented?

It probably isn’t, but would be good to add a note on this in the README. Was implemented in https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/26925.

also don’t forget to add a BINARYBUILDER_TRIPLET=x86_64-apple-darwin14, where x86_64-apple-darwin14 is your system’s triplet.

Is it planned for a Julia 0.7.1 to track the fixes in 1.0.x?

targetting nightly in travis.yml fetched the following julia version:

Julia Version 1.0.1-pre.171
Commit 398d87829d (2018-09-26 22:52 UTC)

but I am not sure if this is the one mentioned above.

Can we just make that the default?

I’ve put `USE_BINARYBUILDER_LLVM=1’ in Make.user, but i get a failing build in

I also had to set BINARYBUILDER_TRIPLET to make the download not fail, searching for it on github gives some of the different options https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/search?utf8=✓&q=BINARYBUILDER_TRIPLET. Also I did make cleanall and also in deps/, not sure though what did the trick eventually.
