I've updated the Julia mathematical programming language on Athena to
the latest 0.3.0 prerelease. To run it:

	add julia
	julia (command-line)

or	add julia
	ijulia (GUI; but see instructions for first-time setup)

>From my message to users:

Julia on Athena has been updated to the current git release as of
1/27/14: 0.3.0-prerelease+1268. To run the prior 0.2.0 prerelease now:

	 add julia
	 julia -ver 0.2.0-pre

A pdf manual is at http://web.mit.edu/julia_v0.3.0pre/julia.pdf
A local doc page is at
http://web.mit.edu/julia_v0.3.0pre/www/index.html
For an extensive man page type "man julialanguage"

Julia is configured so that add-on packages are installed in ~/.julia in
your home directory. Please see
 
http://web.mit.edu/julia_v0.3.0pre/README.athena 

for important additional information.

A new ijulia command is available to launch the ipython Julia GUI
directly after doing initial setup; see README.athena for details.
