Re: [Quickfix-developers] Field missing in latest SecurityType.java

[<OM...@th...>]

Yes and yes.

Deprecated fields are ones whose names have changed.  For instance
LastShares became LastQty.  Although LastShares is in the deprecated
subdirectory, it is in the same package of LastQty, so you don't need t=
o do
anything special to pull them in.  Its just a way to show that its use =
has
been dropped in newer versions of the spec.

Having these allows you to use LastShares when dealing with older versi=
ons
of the spec, and use LastQty when dealing with newer versions (in fact =
you
must do it this way or the compiler will complain).

Concerning FUT and OPT, this is in accordance with FIX 4.3:

It is recommended that CFICode be used instead of SecurityType for
non-Fixed Income instruments.

Futures  and  Options  should  be  specified  using  the CFICode[461] f=
ield
instead  of  SecurityType[167]  (Refer  to  Volume  7 ? Recommendations=
 and
Guidelines for Futures and Options Markets.")

I   haven't   yet   determined   how  to  handle  deprecated  enumerati=
ons.
Suggestions  would  be  welcome  from  anybody. For now, If you need to=
 use
them, you can manually add them or just pass in "OPT" and "FUT".

I cannot find Option and Future in latest SecurityType.java. Some class=
es
under deprecated directory are still using by classes in other director=
y.
Are these intentional updates?
