I noticed that JuliaCall’s auto Julia installer is installing Julia 1.9.4 rather than the latest release (1.12.x). This happens because version selection uses a lexicographic max over version strings, so "1.9.4" compares greater than "1.12.5".

# buggy code on master
jc_latest <- JuliaCall:::julia_latest_version()
jc_latest # returns 1.9.4

# this PR
jc_latest <- JuliaCall:::julia_latest_version()
jc_latest # returns 1.12.5

Oh oops. I guess my master branch wasn't up-to-date.
