The second patch release for the Julia 1.0 series of releases, version 1.0.2, has been released. Binaries are available on Download Julia for Linux (i686, x86-64), FreeBSD (x86-64), macOS, and Windows (32-, 64-bit).
We are hoping to have Linux binaries for ARMv7 for this release, but are continuing to experience infrastructure issues on ARM. In the meantime, users on ARM machines will need to continue to use version 1.0.0, or build the v1.0.2 tag from source. We apologize for the ongoing inconvenience and hope to have it resolved soon.
As a patch release, version 1.0.2 introduces no new features or breaking changes; it contains only bug fixes, some performance improvements, and documentation updates only. Thus we recommend anyone currently using 1.0.0 or 1.0.1 upgrade to 1.0.2. See here for the list of commits included between 1.0.1 and 1.0.2. Note that 1.0 on Travis and AppVeyor (using the Appveyor.jl setup) now uses 1.0.2.
Is there a plan for proper changelog (for later releases)? I see the list of PR-s, but it’s not a convenient way of checking what have changed, nor easily understandable. I assume that it’s a lot of work (with 100+ PRs), but I think that it would be really helpful.
