FortranFiles v0.6.0

Diff since v0.5.0

• drop support for pre-1.0 Julia
• add eof function (#5)
• fix FString behavior on aarch64
• general maintenance to keep up with developments in Julia tooling, needed to make further releases

Merged pull requests:

• Add eof() function (#5) (@xue-cheng)

• now fully compatible with julia-1.0
• introduced a custom exception FortranFilesError for FortranFiles-specific errors
• improved test coverage
• only allow writing homogeneous Arrays that have a concrete Fortran-compatible eltype -- this change is potentially breaking but prevents inadvertently writing Arrays that Fortran wouldn't be able to read

All deprecations in julia-0.7 are fixed. Documentation and tests have been adjusted. julia-0.6 is still supported via Compat.

• add alternative macro interface for reading (@fread)
• add convenience Fstring functions trim, trimlen
• drop support for julia-0.5
• this release works on julia-0.7, but there are many deprecations which slows things down

Support for reading and writing files in direct-access mode (i.e. fixed-size records without header, random access) has been added. The implementation should be compatible with files produced by gfortran and ifort with standard options.

• bswap(::Complex) has moved into Base/Compat, so remove our definition
• testing only needs product from Iterators, which is provided by Base/Compat
• let travis test on 0.5, 0.6, and nightly.

• new keyword "convert" in the FortranFile constructor, to support byte orders different from the host
• equality comparison for FStrings
• expanded test suite to cover byte-order tests
• tweak Travis configuration to reduce test duration

• Describe package tests in documentation.
• Add logo.
• Fix reading arrays when dimensions are specified with non-default Ints.
• Increase number of tests.
