Re: [Quickfix-users] [Quickfix-developers] Quickfix for FIX 5.0.....

[Oren M. <or...@qu...>]

Well the first cut will be likely to use the Session Protocol as the  
first supported transport for application messages.  This can be  
implemented with relatively little change to the architecture as it  
is pretty similar to how the previous versions work already.  This  
will require supporting the new versioning constructs while  
maintaining backwards compatibility with the old ones.  There will  
probably have to be some changes to how data dictionaries work, since  
I guess we will need two of them.

The first release of QF with 5.0 support will probably only implement  
transporting application messages over the session protocol.  After  
that I suppose it will come down to the first viable use case of  
sending application messages over a different transport.
