To be clear on the exact commands Keno referenced. This is the steps you need to perform.
git clone git://github.com/JuliaLang/julia.git git checkout release-0.3 make cleanall make If you want to further reduce the risk of getting a broken commit (someone might do a incomplete or broken backport), you should checkout the latest tagged release. (now it is v0.3.1) When you clone from github, you will always get the master version (as long as we don't change our github settings, and that would be somewhat unusual). One might reasonably argue that we should have used a dev branch to test the breaking changes for unintended breakage, before merging them back to the master branch, but currently we don't have the resources to maintain multiple branches. That would be quite tedious work.
