It’s here, folks: Julia v0.7.0, the latest full release version. Binaries are available for macOS, Windows (32- and 64-bit), Linux (i686 and x86-64), and FreeBSD (x86-64). You can download them from [Download Julia](https://julialang.org/downloads). Note that the download links for 0.6 have been moved to [the old releases page](https://julialang.org/downloads/oldreleases.html).

We feel that 0.7 is the best release yet, and we hope you’ll try it out and see why. Happy coding!

Can I now checkout `release-0.7` to stay on the most current release?

Better to checkout the tag, `git checkout v0.7.0`.

Can you elaborate on why it’s better? It’s a minor inconvenience to have to switch if it changes to `0.7.1`, but I liked being on `release-0.6` so I could always `git pull && make` and be sure that I was on the latest release.

The branch `release-0.7` is not the same as the latest release.

What is “on the latest release”? The latest release is the one with tag 0.7 and not the release-0.\* branch.

I mean the latest release for that version - are they still not the same? I get that it won’t switch over to `1.0` when that’s released. I want to be up-to-date, but not on the bleeding edge. I thought that’s what the `release` tags were for?

yes you want to track `release-0.7`. Its just that you will get updates prior to the 0.7.1 release which potentially could be unstable. So just build not daily but only when you get triggered by a new release.

I tried to build v0.7.0 with USE\_INTEL\_MKL=1, ARCH=x86\_64 and MARCH=native, and the build failed with little description of the error. Last few lines of `make -j6`:

```julia

```

**EDIT:**  
My fault; I had forgotten to source the Intel compiler variables (usually /opt/intel/bin/compilervars.sh).  
Now it builds successfully.

I’m curious about testing Julia v. 0.7.0. However, I also need to check that some packages work with v.0.7.0… So:

- How to I see whether v.0.7.0 is supported by packages? With the new web page layout, I don’t know where to find info on compatibility…
- Specifically, I checked “IJulia” (but will also check Plots, DifferentialEquations, etc.)  
– How can I see which version of Julia which works with IJulia?  
– With IJulia for v. 0.7.0, will IJulia = Jupyter Notebook, or Jupyter Lab? With Jupyter Lab, do I start IJulia as:

```nohighlight
julia> using IJulia
julia> lab()

```

?

Thank you. – Just saw the Pkg3 live stream, great stuff, so excited about the new package manager (hope it works out as intended;)

Can you try re-running `make` until you get the actual error? It should be buried in the output somewhere.

Yes, I’ll start a single-threaded build tonight.

Forgive me; I was too hasty. I had simply forgotten to source Intel’s compiler variables and it couldn’t find the MKL libs… Build successful.
