.@mpastell We also do that for R too for timelier updates. Yet we do not break the base package which is still some egg on Julia's face.

@eddelbuettel @mpastell I seem to recall breaking changes in versions of R pre 1.0.0. Apples and oranges.

@eddelbuettel I know, I use R a lot and its obviously more mature than Julia. I still recommend trying a more up to date version of Julia.
