[MAINTENANCE] Upgrade Julia from 1.8 and ensure code compatibility #527
Description
The project currently uses Julia 1.8. Upgrading to a more recent stable Julia version is recommended to benefit from performance improvements, bug fixes, and long-term support.
Desired solution
- Upgrade Julia to the latest stable release (e.g., 1.9 or 1.10)
- Update all dependencies to versions compatible with the new Julia version
- Ensure all existing tests pass
- Adjust documentation and CI configurations to reflect the new version
Alternatives considered
Continue using Julia 1.8, but this may limit access to newer features and security fixes.
Additional context
Upgrading will future-proof the project and improve maintainability.
