The Julia developers are pleased to announce that v1.9.0-rc2, the second release candidate for the upcoming 1.9 stable series, is now available. Binaries are available for download at https://julialang.org/downloads in the “upcoming release” section for the following platforms, listed here by support tier:
- Tier 1:
- Linux x86_64 (glibc)
- Linux i686 (glibc)

As a release candidate, 1.9.0-rc2 should not be considered production-ready. Rather, it’s intended to give users, especially package developers, a chance to try out their code with 1.9.0 prior to a full release. Check out the NEWS file to see what will be new in 1.9.0.
Note that 1.9 on Travis, AppVeyor, and Cirrus now refers to 1.9.0-rc2. On GitHub Actions, use ~1.9.0-0.
Let us know in the issue tracker 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.
