- Update to version 1.10.0:
* New language features
- JuliaSyntax.jl is now used as the default parser, providing better diagnostics and faster
parsing. Set environment variable `JULIA_USE_FLISP_PARSER` to `1` to switch back to the old
parser if necessary (and if you find this necessary, please file an issue).
- `⥺` (U+297A, `\leftarrowsubset`) and `⥷` (U+2977, `\leftarrowless`) may now be used as
binary operators with arrow precedence.
* Language changes
- When a task forks a child, the parent task's task-local RNG (random number generator) is no longer affected. The
seeding of child based on the parent task also takes a more disciplined approach to collision resistance, using a
design based on the SplitMix and DotMix splittable RNG schemes.
- A new more-specific rule for methods resolves ambiguities containing Union{} in favor of
the method defined explicitly to handle the Union{} argument. This makes it possible to
define methods to explicitly handle Union{} without the ambiguities that commonly would
result previously. This also lets the runtime optimize certain method lookups in a way
that significantly improves load and inference times for heavily overloaded methods that
dispatch on Types (such as traits and constructors).
- The "h bar" `ℏ` (`\hslash` U+210F) character is now treated as equivalent to `ħ` (`\hbar` U+0127).
- The `@simd` macro now has more limited and clearer semantics: it only enables reordering and contraction
of floating-point operations, instead of turning on all "fastmath" optimizations.
If you observe performance regressions due to this change, you can recover previous behavior
with `@fastmath @simd`,
if you are OK with all the optimizations enabled by the `@fastmath` macro.
- When a method with keyword arguments is displayed in the stack trace view, the textual
representation of the keyword arguments' type is simplified using the new
`@Kwargs{key1::Type1, ...}` macro syntax.
* Compiler/Runtime improvements
- The mark phase of the garbage collector is now multi-threaded.
- [JITLink](https://llvm.org/docs/JITLink.html) is enabled by default on Linux aarch64 when Julia
is linked to LLVM 15 or later versions.
This should resolve many segmentation faults previously observed on this platform.
- The precompilation process now uses pidfile locks and orchestrates multiple julia processes to only have one proces
spend effort precompiling while the others wait. Previously all would do the work and race to overwrite the cache
files.
* Command-line option changes
- New option `--gcthreads` to set how many threads will be used by the garbage collector.
The default is `N/2` where `N` is the number of worker threads (`--threads`) used by Julia.
* Build system changes
- SparseArrays and SuiteSparse are no longer included in the default system image, so the core
language no longer contains GPL libraries. However, these libraries are still included
alongside the language in the standard binary distribution
* New library functions
- `tanpi` is now defined. It computes tan(π*x) more accurately than `tan(pi*x)`.
- `fourthroot(x)` is now defined in `Base.Math` and can be used to compute the fourth root of `x`.
It can also be accessed using the unicode character `∜`, which can be typed by `\fourthroot`.
- `Libc.memmove`, `Libc.memset`, and `Libc.memcpy` are now defined, whose functionality matches that of their respective C calls.
- `Base.isprecompiled(pkg::PkgId)` has been added, to identify whether a package has already been precompiled.
* New library features
- `binomial(x, k)` now supports non-integer `x`.
- A `CartesianIndex` is now treated as a "scalar" for broadcasting.
- `printstyled` now supports italic output.
- `parent` and `parentindices` support `SubString`s.
- `replace(string, pattern...)` now supports an optional `IO` argument to
write the output to a stream rather than returning a string.
- `startswith` now supports seekable `IO` streams.
* Standard library changes
- The `initialized=true` keyword assignment for `sortperm!` and `partialsortperm!`
is now a no-op. It previously exposed unsafe behavior.
- Printing integral `Rational`s will skip the denominator in `Rational`-typed IO context (e.g. in arrays).
* Package Manager
- `Pkg.precompile` now accepts `timing` as a keyword argument which displays per package timing
information for precompilation (e.g. `Pkg.precompile(timing=true)`).
