Re: [julia-users] Re: Specifying Julia commit in REQUIRE file

[Elliot Saba]

For things like this, where we're currently in the midst of merging lots of
crazy changes, it's not uncommon to simply require 0.4.0-dev or later, and
expect users to have a version that is less than a few days old.  Users who
want to use -dev versions should be aware that they will need to update
Julia in timespans counted in days, not months.  If they are not on the
0.4.0-dev version, then they are likely on the release-0.3 branch (what
will soon turn into 0.3.0-final) and putting a 0.4- in your REQUIRE file
will exclude them properly.
