printing numbers yields unwanted formatting

[XilinJia]

Just updated to reportedly 0.3.1 but displayed as 0.4.0-dev+543.

println to file now get something like the following. Is this intended? How can I get normal decimals?

162038.8f0,float16(160.2),0.26118204f0

A number like these messes up DataFrames, which considers it as a string which then can not be easily converted to a float. Any advice on what to do?

A good advise is to post questions only one place, because the same people are likely to see the question both here and on julia-users. If you still think it is worth the additional noise, you should link the original issue so that we can check if the issue has already been resolved before spending time investigating.

This is a regression probably due to the grisu change. There used to be a print(io,Float32) method in grisu.jl. That was removed and now print is falling back to show for numbers. cc @quinnj

@cnbiz Sorry I was too quick on the trigger. I thought I tested print on numbers of different types on 0.3, but it seems that I typed julia instead of ./julia so I got the new erroneous behavior, and thought that was how it had always been.
