Thanks very much; neat fix. Applied here:

Log:
LANG-693 Method createNumber from NumberUtils doesn't work for floating point numbers other than Float

    commons/proper/lang/trunk/src/changes/changes.xml
    commons/proper/lang/trunk/src/main/java/org/apache/commons/lang3/math/NumberUtils.java
    commons/proper/lang/trunk/src/test/java/org/apache/commons/lang3/math/NumberUtilsTest.java

=====

I made two very trivial style changes: moved the declaration of numDecimals closer to where it is first used, and changed less => fewer in a comment (grammatical pedantry on my part!).

Thanks again.

> Method createNumber from NumberUtils is trying to parse a string with a floating point number always first as a Float, that will cause that if we send a string with a number that will need a Double or even a BigDecimal the number will be truncate to accommodate into the Float without an exception to be thrown, so in fact we will no be returning ever neither a Double nor a BigDecimal.
