3 Questions: 1) We have been using velocity 1.3.1-rc2 and have a requirement where we need to compare floats in velocity templates. So we need to do something like
#set($afloat=$floatObject.gpa) #set($gpaWarning = 2.7) #if ($afloat <= $gpaWarning) academic probation letter.... Can this be done in 1.5-dev? If we need to put the gpaWarning value into context, we can do that if it cannot be declared in the template. Is that needed? 2) We have quite a bit of code that depends on 1.3.1-rc2, is 1.5-dev in a stable state? 3) What is the URL to get the Velocity 1.5-dev version? -------------------------------------------------- The unreleased Velocity 1.5-dev (grab the nightly snapshot of the source code) handles floats and all other number types.
