Julia version 1.12.0-rc1, the first release candidate for the upcoming 1.12 series of releases, is now available. Binaries are available via [JuliaUp](https://github.com/JuliaLang/juliaup) and in the upcoming release section of [https://julialang.org/downloads/](https://julialang.org/downloads/) for macOS (Intel and M-series processors), Windows (x86 and x86-64), glibc Linux (x86, x86-64, AArch64), musl Linux (x86-64), and FreeBSD (x86-64). Binaries for glibc Linux on PowerPC are not currently available for this version.

As a release _candidate_, 1.12.0-rc1 should **not** be considered production-ready. Rather, it’s intended to give users, especially package developers, a chance to try out their code with 1.12.0 prior to a full release. Check out the [NEWS file](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/v1.12.0-rc1/NEWS.md) to see what will be new in 1.12.0, and see [here](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/compare/v1.12.0-beta4...v1.12.0-rc1) for a list of commits included since 1.12.0-beta4.

Note that `1.12` on [Cirrus](https://github.com/ararslan/CirrusCI.jl), [Travis](https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/languages/julia/), and [AppVeyor](https://github.com/JuliaCI/Appveyor.jl) now refers to 1.12.0-rc1. On [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/julia-actions/setup-julia), use `~1.12.0-0` or similar (see the `setup-julia` action’s README for options).
