Julia v1.4 Release Notes
========================
New language features
---------------------
* Structs with all isbits and isbitsunion fields are now stored inline in arrays ([#32448]).
Language changes
----------------
Multi-threading changes
-----------------------
Build system changes
--------------------
New library functions
---------------------
* The `splitpath` function now accepts any `AbstractString` whereas previously it only accepted paths of type `String` ([#33012]).
* The `tempname` function now takes an optional `parent::AbstractString` argument to give it a directory in which to attempt to produce a temporary path name ([#33090]).
* The `tempname` function now takes a `cleanup::Bool` keyword argument defaulting to `true`, which causes the process to try to ensure that any file or directory at the path returned by `tempname` is deleted upon process exit ([#33090]).
* The `readdir` function now takes a `join::Bool` keyword argument defaulting to `false`, which when set causes `readdir` to join its directory argument with each listed name ([#33113]).
Standard library changes
------------------------
* The methods of `mktemp` and `mktempdir` which take a function body to pass temporary paths to no longer throw errors if the path is already deleted when the function body returns ([#33091]).
#### Libdl
#### LinearAlgebra
* `qr` and `qr!` functions support `blocksize` keyword argument ([#33053]).
* `dot` now admits a 3-argument method `dot(x, A, y)` to compute generalized dot products `dot(x, A*y)`, but without computing and storing the intermediate result `A*y` ([#32739]).
#### SparseArrays
#### Dates
#### Statistics
