julia 0.6 compatibility

[gdkrmr]

What are your plans on supporting Julia 0.6?

[gdkrmr]

great! Thanks!

I'm going to make this the next task - so should be in the next week or so. I've not tested Julia 0.6, so I'm not sure how much needs to change yet. I'll be eliminating any deprecation warnings.

Can you please confirm that there is no support for Julia v0.6 yet?

[trthatcher]

Julia 0.6 is fully supported in the dev branch.

[juliohm]

😞 could you please explain why dev instead of master? I wasted time yesterday preparing a PR because there is no documentation about dev anywhere. I will close the PR.

Could you please merge the branch and tag a new release?

[trthatcher]

@juliohm I really appreciate you taking an interest in the project and helping out. I'm sorry for the lack of clarity around the branches - I didn't mean to waste your time. I'll stick to master to ensure this doesn't happen a second time. Again, sorry for the confusion.

There's an outstanding issue that I hadn't found the root of and it was causing the occasional Travis build to fail, which is why I hadn't merged yet with master. The cause has been identified so the solution is clear - see issue #53. I'll tag a new version once that is resolved.

Thank you @trthatcher, that is really helpful already. I am planning to release a new GeoStats.jl solver soon that depends on MLKernels.jl, since the cause of #53 is now identified, I think it makes things easier.

I will wait for the new tag and then submit the registration request.
