The Julia developers are pleased to announce the release of Julia v1.6.0, the sixth minor release in the 1.x series. Some folks put together a blog post highlighting some of the most exciting new features in 1.6. Check it out! As usual, binaries are available for all of your favorite platforms (Lin…

I am facing issues using this with gcc 4.9.3 which comes pre-installed on our HPC cluster. (base) jb6888:~/ $ module load gcc Loading module 'gcc/4.9.3' (base) jb6888:~/ $ julia ERROR: Unable to load dependent library [...]/julia-1.6.0/bin/../lib/julia/libjulia-internal.so.1 Message:[...]/gcc/4.9.…

[image] jishnub: In all likelihood this is because of the paths that gets prepended to LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Very likely [image] jishnub: I wonder if I might require a different gcc version to fix this issue? You don’t need GCC at all to use official binaries of Julia (only libc), they com…

Prepending the julia lib directory to LD_LIBRARY_PATH fixes this for the time being export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=[...]/julia-1.6.0/lib/julia:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH Reading through a similar issue posted last year it might be an issue with HPC clusters using dated CentOS

Fantastic job! Kudos to all the contributors to 1.6. Amazingly fast precompilation. We were using precompiled sysimages in 1.5.x because otherwise load times were unbearably slow. 1.6 is so fast this no longer seems necessary.

I deleted all of past Julia, and installed from scratch. Very snappy installation! And actually entertaining to listen to my little Lenovo media PC start panting while using all the i9 cores. Now: installing it on my laptop. Running code also seems much quicker. Thanks for you hard work!!

@kristoffer.carlsson “For Julia release 0.6, formatting of stacktraces…” :grinning:

Fantastic job, thank you everyone :slight_smile: Minor: the link to the PDF in the documentation appears to be broken: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JuliaLang/docs.julialang.org/assets/julia-1.6.0.pdf Edit: works now

That’s actually intended! Julia 0.6 was the last time stack traces were significantly changed: See the fifth bullet point here: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/HISTORY.md#library-improvements-1 (and search elsewhere in the history for stacks). :slight_smile:

I should probably have worded that differently though, many people have had the same confusion. Edit: tweak wording to not make it look like a typo by KristofferC · Pull Request #1242 · JuliaLang/www.julialang.org · GitHub should improve the wording.

Just gave it a try. Early days but wow! The precompilation changes, and the compilation speed improvements are absolutely wonderful. This is really a massive quality of life improvement. Excellent job! :slight_smile:
