My appveyor builds (eg [here](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/galenlynch/openephysloader-jl/build/job/1271qd2wufwucpni))on julia 1.0 are failing because `versioninfo` is not defined? It builds successfully on linux. Is this a known difference between platforms?

You probably want to update your `appveyor.yml` based on [https://github.com/JuliaCI/Appveyor.jl](https://github.com/JuliaCI/Appveyor.jl) (readme).

That might be a good idea but would it fix the problem? I think the appveyor build I linked is running Julia 1.0.

Your `appveyor.yml` contains `versioninfo` here: [https://github.com/galenlynch/OpenEphysLoader.jl/blob/9dfe190db1a5f59845c8ef780de5b1626d30ebce/appveyor.yml#L41](https://github.com/galenlynch/OpenEphysLoader.jl/blob/9dfe190db1a5f59845c8ef780de5b1626d30ebce/appveyor.yml#L41). The updated one doesn’t.

`versioninfo` has moved to `InteractiveUtils` (stdlib) by the way, but you shouldn’t need it for the CI scripts.

I see, thank you!
