Incompatibilites between 5.0.7 and 5.0.8
----------------------------------------
A couple of arithmetic operations have changed: the new behaviour

Various arithmetic operations have changed, in particular with respect
to the choice of integer or floating point operations. The new

3) Previously, the FORCE_FLOAT option only forced the use of floating
point in arithmetic expressions for integer constants, i.e. numbers
typed directly into the expression, but not for variables. Hence
an operation involving only integer variables (or string variables
containing integers) was not forced to be performed with floating point
arithmetic. Now, operations involving variables are also forced to
floating point. For example:
