Re: [Quickfixj-users] question about data dictionary versions

[Christoph J. <chr...@ma...>]

1604 was added in one of the later expansion packs.
Yes, the process could be improved in any case.

On the other hand, it should be no problem for any counterparty to have a mailing list or other 
technical means to publish changes to their dictionary. I never worked with a counterparty which did 
not provide this, as far as I remember.

Cheers,
Chris.
