Unable to download Julia 1.8.1

Apologies all for the delayed announcement but 1.8.1 is official.

The timing worked out poorly with this one. This was partially due to issues with the Windows buildbots, as @nilshg noted, and also partially because I didn’t sufficiently coordinate with Kristoffer over the final pieces, which is why the website update preceded the announcement by a noticeable margin. There are a number of pieces in the release process (that @dilumaluthge did a fantastic job outlining) where delays can happen and in this case you can blame me and the Windows operating system.

That’s a really clear description of the process. I don’t think I’m the only one reading this thread who didn’t know this stuff.

Thanks,
