The Julia developers are pleased to announce the release of v1.8.5, the fifth patch release in the 1.8 stable series. You can download binaries at [https://julialang.org/downloads](https://julialang.org/downloads) in the “current stable release” section. Binaries are available for the following platforms, listed here by [support tier](https://julialang.org/downloads/#supported_platforms):
- Tier 1:
- Linux x86\_64 (glibc)
- Linux i686 (glibc)
- macOS x86\_64 (Intel or Rosetta)
- Window x86\_64
- Tier 2:
- FreeBSD x86\_64
- Linux AArch64 (glibc)
- Linux x86\_64 (musl)
- macOS AArch64 (M-series)
- Windows i686
As a patch release, 1.8.5 contains no new features or breaking changes, only bug fixes, documentation improvements, and performance improvements. You can see the list of commits included since 1.8.4 [here](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/compare/v1.8.4...v1.8.5). Normally for patch releases we announce a testing period before making the release but in this case we’ve opted to move forward more quickly with a very small change set to address an issue affecting some Windows users on 1.8.4. We recommend that anyone currently using an earlier 1.8 version upgrade to 1.8.5.
Note that `1.8` on [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/julia-actions/setup-julia), [Travis](https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/languages/julia/), [AppVeyor](https://github.com/JuliaCI/Appveyor.jl), and [Cirrus](https://github.com/ararslan/CirrusCI.jl) now refer to 1.8.5.
Let us know in the [issue tracker](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues) if you run into any issues. Please note that any bugs you may encounter should be posted there rather than being discussed in this thread to ensure visibility to the developers.
