Julia Studios pointing to a different binary
I am on mac.
As far as I know, although Julia 0.3 is now officially released, Julia Studio still ships with Julia 0.2. So I went to the contents of the Julia 0.3 package and pointed the path to Julia Studio in the julia folder for Julia 0.3, however I got the error:
Error: Failed to start Julia.
Expected location: /opt/Julia_Studio/bin/julia-basic/bin/julia-basic
So, I changed the julia executable in the bin folder from "julia" to "julia-basic" to see if that fixes something. What happened instead is that I got a bunch of deprecation warnings and while the julia interactive prompt loaded when I tried to execute the command and hit it just sits there, silly, not giving me anything back. What to do?

This is possible, but only for point releases.
Julia as a language is developing rapidly. Each Julia Studio release only works for a specific version. Forio will release new versions of Julia Studio with support for the official Julia 0.3 release soon. The current master branch at https://github.com/forio/julia-studio supports Julia 0.3, but mostly runs on OSX.
Disclaimer: I work for Forio

Last time I checked Julia Studio it was not possible to point it to Julia's external release. This was a limitation I heard about and others are complaining about.
I cannot say if this limitation will be overcome.
When he can point to an external release, I'll take another look at Julia Studio.
