Increase Julia compat bound to 1.3. This is needed for https://github.com/JuliaDiff/DiffRules.jl/pull/74.

Add CI testing on 1.3 (for consistency with compat) and 1.6 (LTS).

Needs version bump, ideally to 1.7, after #76.

Needs version bump, ideally to 1.7, after #76.

Why do we need a new version when changing a dependency compat bound? This is not implying any change in the API of DiffRules. So why should we increase version here?

[mcabbott]

Every release needs a new version. Not a breaking version, so it's more or less free.

And I think it's meant to be a minor version, not patch, in case you ever need to release a bugfix for an older version (although this is unlikely).

Ok. But which PRs are you planning to tag as releases? Maybe we can bundle them together and just do one release? Since you are already bumping version in #76, I don't need to do it here. DO you agree?

Ah ok, I think I get it. I bumped the minor version, and rebased. This should be ready to go (as soon as tests pass).

[cossio]

The CI on Julia 1.7 is failing on Base.mod, by the way. And it seems to be a fault of the finitediff function used to test (I think the rule itself is fine). But that should be addressed in a separate PR. Can we merge this?

[cossio]

Regarding the CI test on Julia v.17, see #78

[cossio]

Can you also get rid of the branch in

Done

[cossio]

Tests pass. @mcabbott do you agree to merge this?
