<h2 class="content-header header-section2" id="autoid_283">Changes in FTL (FreeMarker Template Language)</h2>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Multi-type variables that are both string and number or
string and date are now output using their number or date value
instead of the string value when used in the
<code class="inline-code">${...}</code> interpolation. This practically makes
the string part of a string/number or a string/date variables
useless.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Bugfix: operator "or" (<code class="inline-code">||</code>)
worked wrongly when its left operand was a composite expression
(e.g., the second <code class="inline-code">||</code> in <code class="inline-code">false ||
true || false</code>; this was evaluated to
<code class="inline-code">false</code>, but it should be
<code class="inline-code">true</code>)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Bugfix: Less-than sign inside comments confused the FTL
parser (e.g. <code class="inline-code">&lt;#-- blah &lt; blah --&gt;</code>);
it commented out everything after the problematic
comment.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Bugfix: Comparing two numerical constants (e.g. <code class="inline-code">3
== 3</code>) caused internal error in the FTL parser, and
aborted template processing with error.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Experimental date/time type support was removed, since it
seems that this initial implementation was misguided. FreeMarker
2.2 will certainly support data/time.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="content-header header-section2" id="autoid_284">Changes on the Java side</h2>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Bugfix: <code class="inline-code">Number</code>s wrapped with
<code class="inline-code">BEANS_WRAPPER</code> was displayed with the
<code class="inline-code">toString()</code> method of wrapped object. Now they
are rendered according to the <code class="inline-code">number_format</code>
setting, because multi-type variables that are both string and
number are now output using their number value instead of the
string value.</p>
