Problem
The current condition
VERSION < v"0.7.0-beta2.199" && __precompile__()mistakenly allows the__precompile__()directive to be executed in older versions of Julia, which do not support it. This can lead to errors when using the package in Julia versions prior to 0.7.Solution
The condition has been updated to
VERSION >= v"0.7.0-beta2.199" && __precompile__()to ensure that__precompile__()is executed only in newer versions of Julia where it is supported.Impact
This fix ensures compatibility with older versions of Julia while maintaining functionality in newer versions. It prevents potential runtime errors for users on Julia 0.6 or earlier.
