What's new is ".<=" and ".>="; ".<" has been around for a
while. But anyway...

Since ".<" is an element-wise operator, the expression

  A .< 1

produces a matrix result, as you see by doing

<hansl>

matrix A = { 0.6, 1 ; -0.3 , 2 }

print A
Test = A .< 1
print Test
</hansl>

Such a result cannot be coerced to a boolean value, as
required by "if". Maybe what you want is

<hansl>

matrix A = { 0.6, 1 ; -0.3 , 2 }

if A < 1
     print "Hello world"
endif
</hansl>

(This will not print "Hello world" since the test is for all
elements less than 1.)
