[Zope] Zope 2.6.1 changed default number format

[Ed Crewe]

Hi,

Rather than do uneccesary work can I just enquire about
whether recent numeric handling changes in Zope 2.6.1 are intentional or
might they be reversed?

Zope 2.6.1 has changed the default dtml number display format from
integer to one decimal place floating point.
This breaks any sites that use dtml integer display.

Was this a deliberate change? If so what is the recommended solution for
replacing dtml such as <dtml-var link_id missing="0">
Should all dtml integer rendering be replaced with

<dtml-if "_.has_key('link_id')"><dtml-var link_id fmt="%i"><dtml-else>0</dtml-if>

or is there an economical way of displaying an integer in dtml?

Thanks,
Ed Crewe
