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

[Alvin W. <AW...@FF...>]

First of all, there is some additional info (as you may have known)
http://www.fixprotocol.org/committees/gtc/documents
http://www.fixprotocol.org/documents/2943/FIX%205.0%20FAQs.doc

I am not sure if they will publish the repository files.

As long as the message can be delivered once, can be guaranteed delivery,
and in the right order, it can be on any non-FIX session for example MQ.
Another thing they talked is like a firm can use FIX 5 session to send an
order in FIX 4.2 and then allocate using FIX 4.4 for example.
(I think QF needs to think a way to make the application easily forward
compatible, for example how to reuse the existing application code using
quickfix.fix44 package work with FIX 5? and how to reuse the application
code to work on both FIX 44 and FIX 5 rather than rewriting the code using
"quickfix.fix5" package?)

Then there are concept of extension package and service pack.

Then some new support on the business side, like FX, advancement in order
routing, and regulatory initiatives......

Do you know if they plan on freely distributing the repository or is
it still only going to be available to members only.  That's has been
a key problem with directly supporting the repository in the past, we
simply are not allowed to redistribute it as is.  If not we will
likely end up generating the QF data dictionary from the repository.
We have code that can do this assuming their format hasn't changed
significantly.

We do have plans to support FAST.  FIX 5.0 and FAST support are both
significant projects and we will need to prioritize to figure out
which we want to tackle first.

Any other information you have would be very useful.  Did they go
over any scenarios regarding the transport independence?  I was
wondering how it will effect resend requests.
