Drop support for Julia 1.6 (lts) #170

Closed FriesischScott closed 3 months ago

FriesischScott commented 4 months ago

I think we can safely abandon support for the lts version of Julia (1.6 currently) and focus only on the current release. Some of our dependencies already stopped supporting 1.6 in their latest release (QuasiMonteCarlo.jl for example). This will ultimately force us to drop support as well.

I don't see potential users of our package requiring the extra stability of the lts version and see no downside to supporting only the latest release starting now.

It will also allow us to use new features of Julia as soon as they are released.

Principally no problem with dropping support for long-term supported Julia versions.

Only issue I can think of is that on HPC machines, it's often the lts versions that are installed by the admins. Would mean that users may have to install Julia themselves. But this is however simple to do.
