Hi, Since Velocity 1.5 comparison between different number types (integers, longs, doubles, etc) is supported.
Backwards compatibility for all versions of Velocity is excellent. The language has some new features (map literals, decimal literals, macro improvements) but all earlier templates will work in new versions. There's some slight differences in the jar dependencies (upgraded versions of commons-collection, etc). WILL On Thu, Aug 26, 2010 at 1:18 PM, B.
