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](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/compare/v1.0.0...release-1.0). 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](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues) 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?

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](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
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](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=BINARYBUILDER_TRIPLET). Also I did `make cleanall` and also in `deps/`, not sure though what did the trick eventually.
