Because julia 0.2 is shipped with some Linux distros that are expected to be supported for several more years, there may be some people running 0.2 for some time. To make sure that future developments don't break 0.2 support (and without PkgEvaluator how will I know? :) ), I took the time to "freeze" all of my packages on 0.2. I encourage others to consider doing the same.
Here's the rough procedure I used: - edit the REQUIRE file to include "julia 0.2 0.3" - commit - tag - edit the REQUIRE file to include "julia 0.3-" - commit - tag with a minor version bump Obviously it might be nice to have an automated way of doing this, but it wasn't too bad. --Tim On Wednesday, August 13, 2014 05:06:16 PM Iain Dunning wrote: > Hi all, > > Just wanted to announce I've changed pkg.julialang.org to show 0.3 and 0.4 > packages. > > I've also taken this opportunity to change the badge and permalink URLs to > something more, well, permanent. > > The old ones had specific Julia versions in which I feel like is a pain to > maintain, so I've changed them to this format: > > I've kept the old SVGs there for now, but I will be removing them in a > month or so.
