A new version of the dynamically typed, high-performance Julia language for numerical computing has been released. Julia 1.11 features a new Memory type, a lower-level container that provides an alternative to Array.
Downloadable from julialang.org, Julia 1.11 was released October 7 following two alphas, two betas, and four release candidates. Introduced with Julia 1.11, the Memory type has less overhead and a faster constructor than Array, making it a good choice for situations that do not need all the features of Array, according to release notes. Most of the Array type now is implemented in Julia on top of Memory as well, thus leading to significant speedups for functions such as push!, along with more maintainable code.
Also in Julia 1.11, public is a new keyword. Symbols marked with public are considered public API, while symbols marked with export also are now treated as public API. The difference between export and public is that public names do not become available when using a package module. Additionally, tab completion has become more powerful and gains inline hinting when there is a singular completion available that can be completed with tab.
