Julia 1.11 was released on 7 October 2024 (and 1.11.56 on 149 July April 2025), and with it 1.10.5 became the next [[long-term support]] (LTS) version (i.e. those are the only two supported versions), since replaced by 1.10.810 released on 1027 MarchJune, and 1.6 is no longer an LTS version. Julia 1.11 adds e.g. parallel garbage collection and the new <code>public</code> keyword to signal safe public API (Julia users are advised to use such API, not internals, of Julia or packages, and package authors advised to use the keyword, generally indirectly, e.g. prefixed with the <code>@compat</code> macro, from ''Compat.jl'', to also support older Julia versions, at least the LTS version). Julia 1.11.1 has much improved startup (over 1.11.0 that had a regression), and over 1.10, and this can be important for some benchmarks.

<!-- I think this is now outdated: Some users may want to postpone upgrading to 1.11 (e.g. those calling Julia from R), because of known temporary package incompatibility.
