Re: Different behavior of Str(Double)? / Re: Floating point overflow

[Juerg Raess <juerg.raess@lehreroffice.ch>]

thanks for all the input and ideas.

we'll find a way (simulating the old behavior / defining a new format  
for the purpose mentioned / ...), but every way will be a bit more  
complicated than the simple Str() that worked fine until now :-)
we're still waiting until we get more information about this change  
and until we all get to know if this behavior will be kept, adjusted  
or maybe (who knows?) even reverted.
for sure this all points out one of the many things that needs to be  
looked at and thought through more closely. it's only too often that  
some things are just done quickly (e.g. using Str() :-) - and a simple  
change or 'improvement' in the framework can lead to unexpected  
effects...
....but finally the 'increased precision' will (or has already) improve  
our app, and if it's only because it requires to think about certain  
issues again in more detail ;-)
