QuickFIX 1.7.0 is now available at the usual place: http://quickfix.thoughtworks.com/ Wait... did I say usual place. Not anymore since the fabulous Anne Lewis over at ThoughtWorks had her way with it. She did a great job redesigning the website. I mucked about with the formula a bit when creating the generator so if anything looks odd, it's all me. Make sure to refresh you're browsers so you don't pull up an old cache of the site! Release notes are of course available: http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=37535&release_id=221121 What can I say? I know this one took longer than promised but I think it is a really solid release. FIX 4.4 for .NET, FreeBSD and Mac OS X, and well, just read the release notes. For java users, the package name has changed. Sorry! Release notes explain. Seriously, if you are a Java or .NET users, it is particularly important you read these release notes. I think this release is a milestone in that it really puts us where we want to be for launching future initiatives. I've written a sort of summary of where QuickFIX is and where I envision it might go in the future. It is available at the quickfix website. Please read it and give some feedback. QuickFIX is unique compared to other engines in how open it's process is, take advantage! So many people helped on this version I don't even know where to begin. I've tried to add everyone to the CONTRIBUTERS and THANKS files to acknowledge their efforts. If you belong in one of these files please tell me! I want to see everyone get appropriate credit. QuickFIX 1.6.0 was downloaded over 2000 times. We are getting record amounts of downloads, webhits, and contributions. The companies that are using and seriously considering QuickFIX is growing more impressive all the time. Thanks to everyone for making this project so sucessful. My hope is that there would be a serious open alternative to the increasingly pricey fix engines associated with this "open" standard. I believe today we can say there is one. --oren __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Search - Find what youre looking for faster http://search.yahoo.com |
