I wander if I should recommend 0.5 to my Windows friends because of e.g.: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/11196 If is not clear to me that this/some minor issues with e.g. Firewalls are fixed in 0.4. I think they are in 0.5.0-dev, if only there, is the plan to backport, and then to 0.4.1 (and not 0.3.x). For some time, I've understood that 0.3 has been a safe stable version (I guess you want to use 0.4 now and 0.3 will die slowly). I know breaking changes are coming in 0.5, I assume I need not worry (I'm not even doing math-heavy stuff (maybe just web-related) but my friends will, if I recommend it is safe to try out..). -- Palli.
