Hello colleagues,  
I am using Julia v 0.7. When I print a value x, and give the commands:

using Printf  
x = 2.0  
@printf(“The value of x = %2.1f\n”,x)  
Appers a warning message in this version (not in 0.6.4):

WARNING: Base.@printf is deprecated: it has been moved to the standard library package `Printf`.  
Add `using Printf` to your imports.

How can I eliminate this message in my program?

You have probably already called `@printf` in the same session, before the `using Printf`, so the deprecated version from `Base` has already been bound to the name `@printf`. If you run your code in a fresh Julia session you won’t see the warning.
