QuickFIX 1.9.0 is now available at http://www.quickfixengine.org/
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?
group_id=37535&release_id=266040
First of all, the release is *much* faster. By doing some extensive
profiling and with the help of some contributors, in particular Caleb
Epstein and Kritstopher Peterson, we have radically improved our
message parsing and generation capabilities. Run the performance tests
on 1.8.0 and 1.9.0 and you'll see what I mean.
Also, we have the long awaited support for week long sessions.
Everybody who has been connecting to the CME with QuickFIX can throw
their custom hacks away. John Dahl over at the CME was even gracious
enough to do a little testing.
Also, we have added the SessionQualifier tag. This allows you to have
sessions with identical BeginString, SenderCompID and TargetCompID, yet
still be different sessions. Thank you to Pasquale d'Aloise for the
idea.
There are a bunch of other little fixes. Remaining VB.NET compilation
problems have been addressed. Made an effort to make sure QF will
compile under SunPRO. An improvement to the Session for handling
continuously high traffic and more.
