The third (and we hope final) release candidate for Julia v1.3.0 is now available. Get binaries for all of your favorite platforms at [Download Julia](https://julialang.org/downloads), assuming of course that your favorite platforms are Linux (i686, x86-64, ARMv7, AArch64), Windows (32-, 64-bit), macOS, and FreeBSD (x86-64). Check out the [NEWS file](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/v1.3.0-rc3/NEWS.md) to see what will be new in 1.3.0 and see the list of commits included since 1.3.0-rc2 [here](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/compare/v1.3.0-rc2...v1.3.0-rc3).

As a release candidate, this should **not** be considered production-ready; it’s intended to give users a chance to try out their code with 1.3.0 prior to a full release. Note that 1.3 on Travis, AppVeyor (with [Appveyor.jl](https://github.com/JuliaCI/Appveyor.jl)), and Cirrus (with [CirrusCI.jl](https://github.com/ararslan/CirrusCI.jl)) now points to 1.3.0-rc3.

Let us know in the [issue tracker](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues) if you run into any issues. Assuming no problems arise with this release candidate, we’ll move forward with a full 1.3.0 release soon.

Enjoy!

As one of the main “new cool stuff” of this version is the new high-level thread api, is there any tutorial on it?

Yes, there is something about multithreading :
