I started cleaning up my packages for julia 0.5 yesterday, both trying to
fix any errors there are and trying to get rid of deprecation warnings.

 

I very soon ran into lots of deprecation warnings in packages that my
package uses. I started tracking them down, and in about half the cases
things were actually already fixed on master in these packages, but no one
had tagged a version.

 

So, this is my call to action for package devs:

 

If you have fixed julia 0.5 things in your package, please tag a version. It
really helps the people that are going through the packages right now trying
to clean things up.

 

Thanks,

David

 

PS: Oh, and of course, also try to actually fix deprecation warnings, would
be great if we could have a smooth transition in the package ecosystem from
julia 0.4 to 0.5.
