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

[Min T. <mi...@op...>]

I know the new changes are for FIX4.3 spec, but I am not sure putting those
fields of previous versions in deprecated directory is a proper way. Many
institutions are still using old version such as FIX4.0. For those users
this Java QuickFix simply does compile. I think one way to make them all
work is creating a new package calle "fix40to42" and move all classes under
deprecated to this new directory. Same idea can also apply to enumerations.
If you do want to deprecate those enumerations such as OPTION and FUTURE in
SecurityType.java, I believe commenting them out is better than deleting
them. At lease I can easily tell you did this intentionally and they were
all deprecated.
