Doesn't precompile on 1.5.0-beta1 (or 1.6)

[PallHaraldsson]

Works on 1.4.0 but not my later versions (blocking ODBC.jl), and while master works not (on my) 1.6:

Is this DecFP v0.4.10?

[stevengj]

We probably need to tag a new release anyway.

[jmkuhn]

The Printf errors make it look like the DecFP version is v0.4.8 or earlier. v0.4.10 works locally with 1.5.0-beta1 and 1.6.0-DEV.

[stevengj]

Right, I think @PallHaraldsson must have pinned DecFP at an earlier version:

I've seen this a few times when working with packages w/ dependencies on DecFP.jl; I wonder if there are missing bounds in the General registry that kick people back to incompatible versions or something?

[stevengj]

It could be that some packages have out-of-date upper bounds?
