Julia version 1.6.2, the second patch release in the 1.6 series of releases, is now available. You can get binaries for glibc Linux (i686, x86-64, AArch64, ARMv7), musl Linux (x86-64), FreeBSD (x86-64), macOS (x86-64), and Windows (32-, 64-bit) at [https://julialang.org/downloads](https://julialang.org/downloads).

As a patch release, 1.6.2 contains no new features or breaking changes, only bug fixes, documentation improvements, and performance improvements. You can see the list of commits included since 1.6.1 [here](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/compare/v1.6.1...v1.6.2). We recommend anyone currently using 1.6.0 or 1.6.1 upgrade to 1.6.2.

Note that 1.6 on Travis, [AppVeyor](https://github.com/JuliaCI/Appveyor.jl), [Cirrus](https://github.com/ararslan/CirrusCI.jl), and ([soon](https://github.com/SaschaMann/Julia-versions.json/actions/runs/1031830731)) [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/julia-actions/setup-julia) now refers to 1.6.2.

Enjoy!
