Subject: [Quickfix-developers] QuickFIX 1.7.0 Available

QuickFIX 1.7.0 is now available at the usual place:
http://quickfix.thoughtworks.com/

Wait... did I say usual place.  Not anymore since the fabulous Anne =
Lewis
over at ThoughtWorks had her way with it.  She did a great job =
redesigning
the website.
I mucked about with the formula a bit when creating the generator so if
anything looks odd, it's all me.

Make sure to refresh you're browsers so you don't pull up an old cache =
of
the site!

Release notes are of course available:
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=3D37535&release_id=3D=
22112

What can I say?  I know this one took longer than promised but I think =
it is
a really solid release.=20
FIX 4.4 for .NET, FreeBSD and Mac OS X, and well, just read the release
notes. For java users, the package name has changed. Sorry! Release =
notes
explain.
Seriously, if you are a Java or .NET users, it is particularly important =
you
read these release notes.

I think this release is a milestone in that it really puts us where we =
want
to be for launching future initiatives. I've written a sort of summary =
of
where QuickFIX is and where I envision it might go in the future.  It is
available at the quickfix website.
Please read it and give some feedback. QuickFIX is unique compared to =
other
engines in how open it's process is, take advantage!

So many people helped on this version I don't even know where to begin. =
I've
tried to add everyone to the CONTRIBUTERS and THANKS files to =
acknowledge
their efforts.  If you belong in one of these files please tell me! I =
want
to see everyone get appropriate credit.

QuickFIX 1.6.0 was downloaded over 2000 times. We are getting record =
amounts
of downloads, webhits, and contributions. The companies that are using =
and
seriously considering QuickFIX is growing more impressive all the time.
Thanks to everyone for making this project so sucessful.  My hope is =
that
there would be a serious open alternative to the increasingly pricey fix
engines associated with this "open" standard. I believe today we can say
there is one.
