I apologize if this is not the correct place to ask about this.

I am converting my data to MySQL.

I was using mdbtools-0.6_pre2 but had some issues that 0.7~rc1 seemed to 
resolve, I was able to build it fine, but one of the problems I have come 
across is stopping me.

in the 0.6 version I have a database that mdb-schema reports the Quantity 
field as:
Quantity Double

where 0.7 reports it as
Quantity  Float

In 0.6 the value reported by mdb-export is correct, in this example 15.
in 0.7 the value is reported as 1.5000000000000000e+01

Is this a bug, or should I just be using 0.6 and working around it's 
limitations.

Thank you for your time.
