Hello all! The latest bugfix release of the Julia 0.4.x line has been released. Apologies for the longer-than-usual delay with this release, there was an issue with code signing of the Windows binaries that took some time to work around. Binaries are available from the usual place <http://julialang.org/downloads/>, and as is typical with such things, please report all issues to either the issue tracker <https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues>, or email the julia-users list. (If you reply to this message on julia-users, please do not cc julia-news which is intended to be low-volume.)
This is a bugfix release, see this commit log <https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/compare/v0.4.5...v0.4.6> for the list of bugs fixed between 0.4.5 and 0.4.6. Bugfix backports to the 0.4.x line will continue as necessary. If you are a package author and want to rely on functionality that did not work in earlier 0.4.x releases but does work in 0.4.6 in your package, please be sure to change the minimum julia version in your REQUIRE file to 0.4.6 accordingly. If you're not sure about this, you can test your package specifically against older 0.4.x releases on Travis and/or locally. This is a recommended upgrade for anyone using previous releases, and should act as a drop-in replacement. If you find any regressions relative to previous releases, please let us know. -Tony
