I had been using Julia in Colab for months, it had been working well until 8th Sep.

The template I use is:  
[Julia Template Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/github/ageron/julia_notebooks/blob/master/Julia_Colab_Notebook_Template.ipynb)

The installation (1st cell) suddenly cannot be complete. I tried to change runtime type, change versions, etc… something seemed working, but even after successfully run the first cell and refresh, Colab doesn’t recognize the Julia codes anymore.

Update: After having this issue for days, the template seems to work again (as of 12th Sep).  
I notice that for the ones that don’t work, the Runtime shows “Julia 1.8.0”, while the one that works shows just “Julia”.  
But I have no idea how to change the Runtime type and why it suddenly changed.
