Float is deprecated

[bvssvni]

http://doc.rust-lang.org/std/num/trait.Float.html

Suggestions?

[bvssvni]

One idea is to copy the trait to a new library "float" and then add it as dependency to libraries such as vecmath.

[bvssvni]

Alternative is to use the ops traits Add, Sub, Mul etc. directly. This is the major usage.

To reduce code, one could add traits Ring and Field that gets auto implemented from the operations, and then use those as constraints.

[bvssvni]

On second thought, there is no point having Ring for a library that is designed to use floats.

Woah, I didn't see this coming (for some reason I thought it was stable). The deprecation warning seems to suggest to use the rust-lang/num crate - perhaps the Float trait will get moved there?

[bvssvni]

I opened rust-num/num#74

[bvssvni]

The plan is to move the Float trait to the num library.

This is fixed in most libraries now, closing.
