There have been a couple of very thorough posts on the subject recently that you might want to check out:

- [What is Julia 0.7? How does it relate to 1.0?](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/what-is-julia-0-7-how-does-it-relate-to-1-0/9994)
- [1.0 progress/status](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/1-0-progress-status/9762)

My personal recommendation would be to try out Julia v0.6, since it already has many of the best features that have come in since v0.4 (like fast anonymous functions, dot-call syntax, etc.). Also note that there is no v0.7 release yet, just a master branch that will eventually become v0.7 when it’s sufficiently stable.
