![]() The JuliaPro registry contains a subset of packages from Julia’s General registry, but with an additional layer of testing and curation. Incidentally, this registry is also used to provide the same supported packages on JuliaBox. This is provided through the JuliaPro package registry hosted by Julia Computing. The downloadable distributions contain only the compiler, the standard library, and the Juno IDE.Įven though the packages are not bundled, JuliaPro users still benefit from a curated set of packages. The new JuliaPro releases (based on Julia 1.0) therefore do not bundle packages any more. For example, we had not bundled large but important packages such as Plots.jl in order to keep the file size down. Considerations around the size also prevented us from adding to the packages that we support. This made downloading it somewhat error prone, particularly in parts of the world with imperfect internet access. One common comment we received was that the JuliaPro distribution was exceptionally large. This allowed us to consider some of the feedback we have received over the past few years and enables us to better support our users over the long term. With the release of Julia 1.0, while we waited for the package ecosystem to catch up, we took the opportunity to re-architect how we build and support JuliaPro. It is free to download and is used by tens of thousands of users who find it the easiest on-ramp for Julia development. Among the new features is a brand new package management system - Pkg3.Īs you may know, JuliaPro is our distribution of the Julia language that forms the basis of our support and governance offerings. It creates a stable base for long term support and also includes new and improved functionality to make development with the language more productive. The release of Julia 1.0 during JuilaCon was a significant milestone in the history of the language.
