I was looking for Julia v0.6 binaries for 64-bit ARM (armv8-a). There are nightly builds, but there doesn’t seem to be a v0.6 release (only for ARMv7 32-bit). Does Julia 0.6 build on armv8-a, or would it be better to go with the nightlies/master?

Yes. Fully. There’s no build for it only because the builtbot for aarch64 is setup on the next version of builtbot but the release still uses the current one. @staticfloat might be able to comment on when the transition will happen…

Thanks, @yuyichao! I’ll just use the nightly builds then, until the release buildbot is updated.
