Upgrade Julia version #527

Closed limarta closed 5 months ago

limarta commented 5 months ago

Upgrade the CI/CD yaml to only test 1, 1.6, and nightly.

ztangent commented 5 months ago

Is there a reason we're removing Julia 1.3 from the CI? The latest version of Gen is still supposed to be compatible with Julia 1.3 (per the Project.toml file), so unless we decide to drop support for that (because we need some feature from later versions of Julia), we should probably keep 1.3 in the CI workflow.

limarta commented 5 months ago

We can probably drop 1.3 support as 1.6 has been the LTS for about 3 years now. Removing older versions can also help speed up the CI build process.

ztangent commented 5 months ago

I'm fine with dropping support for 1.3, but if we're removing it from the CI, my suggestion would be to also update the Project.toml file so that in the next minor release of Gen, we only support Julia 1.6 onwards!
