Functions Removed from Julia 1.0.0

Question

According to the August 2018 Julia blogpost

The language itself is significantly leaner, with many components split out into “standard library” packages that ship with Julia but aren’t part of the “base” language.

Is there a link to what was removed from the "base" language for the 1.0.0 version and the appropriate packages to use those items?

Answer 1

First of all, you can inspect all standard libraries in the documentation. Check the navigation on the left side for the section "Standard Library".

Note that there are also efforts to improve the documentation of the stdlibs.

Regarding the pre v0.7 -> v1.0 transition, to my knowledge there is no all-encompassing document that tells you where functionality has been moved. However, there are fairly comprehensive sources like

• Julia v0.7 release notes
• Julia v0.7 itself (run your old colde in it and you'll get very helpful deprecation warnings)
• Julia v0.7's base/deprecations.jl (basically the same as above in non-executable form)

And last but not least, there is stackoverflow and discourse where you can simply ask (after checking above sources yourself)!
