Update Julia syntax

[pfitzseb]

The 0.20 release of language-julia has a critical bug that breaks highlighting for basically every file (e.g. this). This wasn't caught in our tests because those run with Oniguruma instead of PCRE.

0.20.1 fixes the bug (verified with lightshow), so it would be great if we could get a patch release to un-break syntax highlighting on GitHub without having to wait for month or so :)

Thanks and sorry for the trouble!

No probs. I've pulled this into v7.12.1 which I'm in the process of releasing right now.

Thanks a bunch!

Unfortunately not. @Alhadis might have some ideas as he maintains a few grammars.

The latest Julia grammar is now in use on GitHub.com. Current files are cached so their syntax highlighting won't change until there is a push to each repo.

https://gist.github.com/lildude/13b6fe9e3afc45db47e801ec53984619 is an example of what the file you originally referenced will look like once the repo is reanalysed.

Closing.

Is that only the case for patch releases or why did the broken grammar get applied for all files, not just those that were modified since Friday? Ah, nvm, there actually was a commit to the repo I was checking.
