Hi, after updating to Julia 1.11, I have an issue with a random number sequence that changed. using Random rng = Random.MersenneTwister(42) v = rng.rand(10) println(v) This gives different results under 1.10.2 and 1.11.1. I couldn’t find this in the release notes. Isn’t this supposed to be stable…

No, it is not. If you need (possibly for testing purposes) a stable random number generator, there is StableRNGs.jl

Random numbers, with MersenneTwister, not stable across major releases

I see. Thanks for clarifying
