Julia version 1.12.1, the first patch release in the 1.12 series of releases, is now available. Binaries are available via JuliaUp and at https://julialang.org/downloads/ for macOS (Intel and M-series processors), Windows (x86 and x86-64), glibc Linux (x86, x86-64, and AArch64), and FreeBSD (x86-64).
As a patch release, 1.12.1 contains no new features or breaking changes, only bug fixes, documentation improvements, and performance improvements. You can see the list of commits included since 1.12.0 here. We recommend that anyone currently using 1.12.0 release upgrade to 1.12.1.
Note that 1.12 on GitHub Actions, Cirrus, Travis, and AppVeyor now refers to 1.12.1.
Compiler latency has gotten so good that it’s even improved TTFPR: Time to First Patch Release, bringing the usual patch version testing period down from one week to just two days! Now that’s what I call high performance. (Actually, the release team just had availability constraints that meant we needed to put this out sooner.)
