There's a lot more than release notes going into a release - we've had 3 release candidates for a reason, and those regressions/bugs need to be fixed first.
e got it, but doesn't that suggest that just because release notes exist, doesn't mean something has been released? Unless ksec has special inside info for his claim, I think his link doesn't show anything.
The release was just cut 9 hours ago, as shown on the releases part of the Github page (https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/releases/tag/v1.9.0). That then starts the jobs for the creation and deployment of the final binaries, and when that's done the Julialang.org website gets updated to state it's the release, and when that's done the blog post for the new release goes out. You can even follow the last step of the process here (https://github.com/JuliaLang/www.julialang.org/pull/1875), since it all occurs on the open source organization.
