`install_julia()` does not install latest version of Julia (1.7.0 or higher) but 1.5 #183

Closed s3alfisc closed 2 years ago

install_julia() does not install the latest version of Julia (1.7.0 or higher) but 1.5. Is this behavior desired?

The 'error' occurs in the latest_julia_version() function, where Julia is downloaded based on the following URL: "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JuliaBinaryWrappers/Julia_jll.jl/master/Project.toml".

library(JuliaCall)

Having the same issue. Did you find any fix @s3alfisc ?

Hi @jpkrooney, unfortunately I haven't! I still believe that only the URL above needed to be changed.

As per https://github.com/JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil/pull/2315, Julia_jll is unmaintained and hasn't been updated in a long time. A while back I updated the code to pull from the official releases instead, I will open a PR

Wow, this looks great, @JackDunnNZ! Thanks so much!
