We have just released the version 0.1.1 for the package [PeriodicTable.jl](https://github.com/rahulkp220/PeriodicTable.jl). This includes:

- Support for Julia version 1.0
- Each element now supports a new field called `e⁻-configuration`

I will like to thank @carstenbauer for his work for this release, plus becoming a contributor to this repo.

Making `PeriodicTable.jl` use `Unitful.jl` “for the dimensionful quantities in the `Element` data” could be a nice thing to contribute here: see [use Unitful for dimensionful quantities · Issue #7 · JuliaPhysics/PeriodicTable.jl · GitHub](https://github.com/rahulkp220/PeriodicTable.jl/issues/7)

Would it be useful for me to add oxidation states? It would allow for somehow guessing the most probably oxidation states of constituent atoms inside a compound. If it would be useful, there is usually a “most probable” oxidation state, should that one be put first in order?

I just implemented this and tagged a new [release](https://github.com/rahulkp220/PeriodicTable.jl/releases/tag/v0.1.2).
