Julia 1.10 and Sage 10.2

Happy new 2024!

Let's start the year with a rather large software update. The default Ubuntu 22.04 based environment has Sage 10.2 and Julia 1.10 as default. As usual, you can still access older versions by using the versioned command-line utility – e.g. julia-1.9 – or switch the Jupyter kernel.

(new) SageMath version 10.2 is the default now: 10.2 release tour. You can use the sage_select utility to switch what version to use in a Sage Worksheets or switch the kernel in a Jupyter Notebook.

(new) Julia 1.10: 1.10 release notes: Use julia-<version> on the command line or a different kernel to switch between versions.

(upd) system-wide, there are a lot of updates, not only the Python 3 based environment, but also various Linux utilities. E.g. gcc 12 is available now.

As usual, the version available up until this update is available under "Ubuntu 22.04 // Previous" in Project Settings → Control → Software Environment. Please let us know about major problems, such that we can try to address them with the next update!
