I have just tagged and uploaded release candidate 2 for Julia version 0.5.0. Binaries are available from
https://s3.amazonaws.com/julialang/bin/linux/x64/0.5/julia-0.5.0-rc2-linux-x86_64.tar.gz https://s3.amazonaws.com/julialang/bin/linux/x86/0.5/julia-0.5.0-rc2-linux-i686.tar.gz https://s3.amazonaws.com/julialang/bin/osx/x64/0.5/julia-0.5.0-rc2-osx10.7+.dmg https://s3.amazonaws.com/julialang/bin/winnt/x64/0.5/julia-0.5.0-rc2-win64.exe https://s3.amazonaws.com/julialang/bin/winnt/x86/0.5/julia-0.5.0-rc2-win32.exe https://s3.amazonaws.com/julialang/bin/checksums/julia-0.5.0-rc2.sha256 https://s3.amazonaws.com/julialang/bin/checksums/julia-0.5.0-rc2.md5 For gpg signatures (with this key http://julialang.org/juliareleases.asc) of the Linux tar.gz binaries, append .asc to the filename. (arm binaries are taking a while to build, I will upload them later - we will also put links to this release candidate on the web site soon) The primary thing this does not yet include that we do plan on getting into the final 0.5.0 release is proxy support for the package manager. A preliminary version of that has been merged to master but still has some build system issues that need to be worked out. We will put out a release candidate 3 next week that will hopefully have this resolved, along with any other major bug fixes that happen by then. If all goes well and no major blocking issues come up after that, RC3 could possibly be the last release candidate and promoted to final, but we will see how it goes next week. Follow the progress at https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/17418 and please report any issues you find. -Tony
