The Julia developers are pleased to announce two new releases: v1.6.6, the sixth patch release in the 1.6 LTS series, and v1.8.0-beta3, the third beta version for the upcoming 1.8 stable series. You can download binaries at https://julialang.org/downloads in the “upcoming release” section for 1.8.0-…

Congratulations on the new release! I’m currently using Julia v1.7.1. Relatively speaking, is v1.6.6LTS an upgrade over v1.7.1? Thanks!

No, you should keep using 1.7.1 and upgrade to 1.8.0 when it’s released.

Whatever the latest stable release is, use that. And yes, I think you’re right that’s 1.7.2 at the moment.

Many thanks for the replies! I’ll upgrade to v1.7.2 stable release then.

Julia v1.8.0-beta3 and v1.6.6 LTS are now available
