I think we can safely go to Ratios 1.0 and drop support for Julia 0.7 😆 .

I think we can safely go to Ratios 1.0

Well, that would require quite a bit of churn downstreams. Isn't it easier to just drop it and still make a patch release?

[timholy]

I think the policy is you can't register a new version that changes the Julia compat without doing a point release. And since this is still in the 0.x cycle, that means the same churn regardless of whether we go to 0.5 or 1.0.

But perhaps an easier way would be to allow older versions of FixedPointNumbers? The log seems to suggest that 0.5 is installable on Julia 0.7.

I don't think that is true, at least not for pre 1.0 stuff.

But I will just extend the compat then.

Need approval to run the workflow again it seems.

"@GitHub, KristofferC always has my approval"

Hmm, didn't work.
