Problems with Julia v1.0.0

[cormullion]

I don't understand this error. Why is Dates a problem here?

It seems there have been some late breaking changes before 1.0 (or missing deprecations?), a couple of weeks ago this package passed CI without warnings (coming from the package): https://travis-ci.org/JuliaAstro/AstroLib.jl/jobs/409533509. Also in Measurements.jl there are issues not caught by CI a few days ago (JuliaPhysics/Measurements.jl#18).

This week I'm on vacation without a computer, please wait some days 😅

[cormullion]

enjoy your holiday (and some dark skies perhaps)! 😎 I'm in no hurry. 😂

I suspect you're using the last tagged release? That one does not work in 1.0 (0.7 should be fine), but the master branch does.
There was one bug in one of the tests (cf #51) but they should now all pass.

[cormullion]

i just did ] add AstroLib so I'm picking up the Registry one. I don't know how often that gets updated, presumably from METADATA every few hours....

[giordano]

Well, yes, the last tagged version definitely doesn't support 1.0 😅 master branch has support for julia 0.7, but then I went on vacation last week and in the meantime they released julia 1.0 just a few hours after 0.7...

[giordano]

I'm going to close this ticket. The only issue was that last tagged version doesn't support Julia 1.0, but master branch does. @benelsen fixed an issue in a test with #51
