What happened to Base.colon?

Although I agree that many people seem to have missed the v0.7 memo, I think it is important to realize that v0.7 is really only relevant for people who have already used Julia before v0.7, that is in a phase where it was common knowledge that new Julia versions will certainly break things.

Those people aren’t new Julia users .

There are people who starts to learn language by trying examples. And you really could find some in older version.

For example chess board from @jonathanBieler where newbie has to “fix” linspace… (I don’t think that installing 0.7 in that case is best idea)

@carstenbauer

… and just point them to the relevant information without too many words. I don’t think that’s rude in any way but rather efficient.

I agree.
