The 0.7 release exists exactly for this reason: your old code will work on 0.7 and give you a specific warning about how to fix your code.

In Julia 0.7, you will get warnings that tell you the new names:
```julia
julia> round(3.14159,2)
┌ Warning: `round(x::Number, digits)` is deprecated, use `round(x; digits=digits)` instead.
│ caller = top-level scope at none:0
└ @ Core none:0
3.14
julia> signif(3.14159, 2)
┌ Warning: `signif(x::Number, digits)` is deprecated, use `round(x; sigdigits=digits)` instead.
│ caller = top-level scope at none:0
└ @ Core none:0
