Thoughtworks is pleased to announce version 0.9.0 of QuickFIX, the open source FIX engine for Windows, Linux and now *Solaris* is available for download at http://quickfix.sourceforge.net This is the final major pre release of QuickFIX before version 1.0.0. For the pre-release versions we are not publishing all of the changes, however here are some of the major enhancements we have made to the product: Solaris support, QuickFIX now builds and runs under the Solaris operating system. We have verified that the port was smooth by running the same automated test suite against our Solaris build that we run against our Linux and Windows builds. The port was very quick and easy and we expect other ports to be just as painless. Archipelago certification, QuickFIX has been certified on all levels for production use on their systems. The certifications we received are in all categories including Session Level Tests, Orderflow Tests, Cancel Tests, Cancel Replace Tests - Quantity, Cancel Replace Tests - Price, and the more advanced Optional Orderflow Tests. We have certified for both the Archipelago ECN and the Archipelago Exchange for FIX versions 4.0 and 4.1 More tests, More tests have been added to both the code based unit tests and the FIX functionality tests. Most of these functionality tests are designed according to the fix protocol defined behaviors document. Running these tests on your system will verify that your build is good. You should only continue to use QuickFIX if *all* these tests pass on your system. Otherwise you may have undefined behavior. User Documentation, A full set of documentation is included with QuickFIX that gives step by step instructions on installing, setting up a project, building and application, and configuring QuickFIX. There is also class documentation with comments for the entire object model. Example programs, Two example programs are included with this version of QuickFIX. One application is a simple sell side OMS that will accept order messages and match limit orders from counter parties. Execution reports will be sent when two orders are matched. A buy side console based buy side trading client is also provided that allows a user to send orders to a FIX destination. We are also working on supplying a JNI interface and a sample GUI application. Version 1.0.0 will be released in about a week and at this point will mostly be affected by the feedback we receive. -- Oren Miller ThoughtWorks om...@th... |
