Cubature.jl is broken on Julia 0.6

[giordano]

Cubature.jl is currently broken on Julia master, probably due to JuliaLang/julia#17057. See the log from package evaluator:

ERROR: LoadError: MethodError: no method matching quad_tst1(::Array{Float64,1})
The applicable method may be too new: running in world age 20394, while current world is 20395.
Closest candidates are:

Error reported on discourse, but got no solution. I'm interested also because Cuba.jl is broken as well, for the same exact reason ;-)

Yes, this is a known problem; see the linked Julia issue; I have a PR in Julia to make this a bit easier to fix.

[giordano]

Is this fixed with pull request #23? master branch of the package now works with Julia 0.6.

[stevengj]

Yes, should be fixed now.

[giordano]

Thank you. I'd like to fix Cuba.jl as well, but reading the pull request above I can't understand how to do it, I'm not even sure the same fix applies to my package. Any hint would be appreciated :-)

[stevengj]

I'm hoping @yuyichao and I can update the blog post on callback functions at some point, though I think he was hoping for another issue to be fixed first?
