A monthly newsletter, mostly on julia internals, digestible for casual observers. A biased, incomplete, editorialized list of what I found interesting this month, with contributions from the community.

* New primitives for reliably expressing once-per-thread or once-per-process objects [are nearly ready](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/55793). [simplifying the implementation for abstract arrays](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/55671), [better implementation for Bool tuples](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/55673).
* A variety of improvements to `any` and `all`: [better generic implementation for `in`](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/55669),
* Looking into [enabling the use of the new LLVM 19](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/55650) in the julia compiler.
* Improvements to the internals of how [julia handles external signals](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/55623).
* Improvements to the internals of how [Julia handles external signals](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/55623).
* A neat and small improvement in how the optimizer [handles throwing errors for undefined variables](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/55600) – it is small, so it can be a good place to start reading internal implementation code. Based on another small improvement in [how much metadata the optimizer tracks in conditionals](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/55545).
* Minor improvements to the non-default makefile for compiling julia with [profile guided optimization and link time optimization](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/55581). That makefile has been discussed before in the newsletter – hopefully it will become a default in the future, but until then you can gain some compiler performance by using it manually.
* It is always frustrating when julia or julia’s imported BLAS does not automatically obey the number of logically-available threads. [Related fixes](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/55574).

* There is a new [breaking release](https://github.com/gdalle/DifferentiationInterface.jl/releases/tag/DifferentiationInterface-v0.6.0) of DifferentiationInterface (v0.6) with support for additional constant arguments. This opens DI to even more use cases, so @gdalle will try to integrate it to a bunch of SciML repos (NonlinearSolve, Optimization, OrdinaryDiffEq) as well as Turing. Other potential users are more than welcome to open issues and ask for help.
* AcceleratedKernels.jl is a new library with [primitives for parallel algorithms](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/ann-acceleratedkernels-jl-cross-architecture-parallel-algorithms-for-julias-gpu-backends/119698) on any hardware accelerator.
