Package Status? #42

Closed rofinn closed 4 years ago

rofinn commented 7 years ago

Are folks actively using this pkg? I haven't been using RBMs much lately, but I'd be happy to add some fixes for 0.5 and 0.6 if there was still demand.

dfdx commented 7 years ago

I tried to adapt it to Julia 0.6 some time ago, but too many dependent packages were broken at the moment. If you have time to check it again, I'll be very thankful.

In general, I believe we should keep existing packages up to date with the latest version of Julia to have a healthy ecosystem and attract more people (who in turn will create more packages). At the same time, not all packages require strict backward compatibility with outdated versions of the language, so we may simply drop support for Julia 0.4 and 0.5.

@dfdx I am very excited to see this package! But.....as I installed it by Pkg.add, and it doesn't work properly. Would you fix it recently?

I am recently using Julia 0.6.

rofinn commented 6 years ago

Might be helpful to post the error as the tests pass on travis under 0.6.

dfdx commented 6 years ago

You may want to check out master, right now it passes all the tests and all examples from README pass on Julia 0.6.

@rofinn Thanks for remind me.

@dfdx Thank you! It's surely passed!
