Re: [Quickfix-developers] Unresolved stability issue in rev 2300

[Brian E. <azz...@ya...>]

As much as I hate to say it (as QF has been very good), the only time you get traction on fixes/releases is when someone threatens to fork the project. 


This project lay pretty fallow from 2006-2009, stuck on 1.12.4 (which didn't even support FIX 5.0, released in 2006) until, in March of 2009, developers got so frustrated that a fork was discussed pretty seriously. Suddenly, there was renewed interest by Oren/Connamara, but QuickFix 1.13.0 still took an entire year (Feb 26, 2010) to be released. A couple of quick bug fix releases over the next few months and then... nothing again for three years.

Connamara is a busy consulting firm and has long since moved on from any sort of active management/development of QuickFIX. Oren hasn't even participated in the forum since January of 2011. I don't blame them - they have lots of paying customers for their projects and are quite busy. Their bread and butter comes from .Net development - look at the change log of QuickFIX/n (https://github.com/connamara/quickfixn/commits/master) and see the frequent, active development of that system (four pages of commits this year alone).


Management of traditional QuickFIX should be moved to a more active developer community with thanks to Oren and Connamara for getting it to where it is.

Hi, team.

There is an unresolved stability issue caused by rev [2300] which contained
my code changes.

I’ve uploaded a patch more than a year ago:
https://sourceforge.net/p/quickfix/patches/23/ but unfortunately it is not
reviewed yet. Could some of you take a look, please? There are a lot of
complaints about stability on forum and I would like to resolve the issue.

Best regards,
Viktor Pogrebnyak
