Question: Do incremental system images, created with Julia 1.6.4 also work with Julia 1.6.5 ?

@amrods and @lewis: Thanks for the note, that’s now fixed. Sorry about that and do let us know if you run into any more issues.

The open BLAS problem, at least as far as it was messing up my life, is indeed fixed.
Thanks!

To answer this question myself: I updated from Julia 1.6.4 to 1.6.5 without updating the system image. It continued to work, but it showed that Julia 1.6.4 is still be used in the banner.

Very strange! Can anybody explain how this can happen?

Then I rebuild the system image, and all worked as expected.

All the data is stored in the sysimage, including what Julia version etc.
