The previous syntax will be kept for compatibility.
However, if the quoted string contains a dot character ('.'), it will be interpreted as a user-friendly representation of the float / double.


was (Author: gnt):
I'd be willing to fix the problem and use a more user friendly format, however, I'm not sure how to do that in a compatible way...

> The format for specifying a float in the .config format is <key>=F"<float value> and similarly for doubles but with the type character D.
> When the floats and doubles are encountered in the config, java.lang.NumberFormatException is thrown with the message like:
> {code}
> java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "400.333"
> 	at java.lang.NumberFormatException.forInputString(NumberFormatException.java:65)
> 	at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Integer.java:580)
> 	at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Integer.java:615)
> {code} 
> The code is actually parsing using Integer and Long classes!!
