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

Grant -

I should have put "It seems that" in front of "Their bread and butter", as I don't know the internal sales of Connamara. Having an interested developer who just finds a project fun is another valid reason for lots of commits!  :D

Thanks for the QuickFix/n work. I do think that QuickFIX/C++ should be moved to a different project structure. What that may be is up to Connamara and the QF/C++ developer community.

As the guy in charge of QF/n, I need to point out that your comment about .NET being Connamara's "bread and butter" is incorrect.  We use a wide variety of technologies, including .NET, but also Ruby/Rails, Erlang, C++, and more.  (I'm personally knee-deep in Rails right now.)

The increased attention to QF/n is simply because I personally enjoy it, and I try to find time for it.  We actually don't have that many projects that use QF/n (though it'd be nice if we could get more).

I'll leave the formal QF/C++ response to one of my colleagues, but you are right, it is obvious that this project has been lacking attention.

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.

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).
