Warnings and Errors with Julia 0.4

[m-ender]

I was trying to use this package with Julia 0.4, but on top of tons of deprecation warnings, it throws an error when actually trying use pack or unpack.

When loading the package, there is a flood of warnings along the lines of

WARNING: Base.Uint is deprecated, use UInt instead.
  likely near C:\Users\buettner\.julia\v0.4\StrPack\src\StrPack.jl:397

Once I use @struct, there are more of these:

WARNING: Base.String is deprecated, use AbstractString instead.
[...]
in pack at C:\Users\buettner\.julia\v0.4\StrPack\src\StrPack.jl:204

And then when I try pack or unpack I get:

ERROR: LoadError: type DataType has no field names
 in chktype at C:\Users\buettner\.julia\v0.4\StrPack\src\StrPack.jl:136
 in pack at C:\Users\buettner\.julia\v0.4\StrPack\src\StrPack.jl:197

I can confirm that this happens simply by executing the example code on ReadTheDocs.

@pao Are you considering tagging a new version? It looks like some of these warnings / errors have been resolved.

👍 I would also like to see a new released version with this issue fixed. Soon two years will have passed since the last release.
