[Quickfix-developers] Version 1.4.0 available

[Oren M. <ore...@ya...>]

Version 1.4.0, is now available from
http://quickfix.thoughtworks.com.

There were a lot of things done here, and I'm sure
that some were missed even in the release notes.  But
this release is most important to the following
people.

1) People wishing to use FIX 4.3: this is the first
public release that supports this version of the
protocol.

2) Anyone using the JNI/Java layer: The Java API has
been further stabalized and memory leaks were tracked
down and removed.  Anyone use the JAVA api is strongly
encouraged to upgrade. (special thanks to the guys at
Aegis Software for providing test cases for these)

3) Anyone wishing to use QuickFIX through VB.NET:
Namespace clashes have been resolved.

Please also take note of the new XML data dictionary
format.  You old data dictionaries are backwards
compatible, however the new format doesn't require as
much redundant information.

The full release notes are availble here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=37535&release_id=145058

On another note, March 1st was the 1st anniversary of
the release of version 1.0.0.  The earliest major
adopters we know of have been running QuickFIX in
production for 9-10 months now.  Thanks to everyone
who has supported this project.  It's success over the
past year was exceeded all expectations.
