[Versafix-users] VersaFix Update - 03/16/2010 1530 CST

[Russell E. C. <ru...@as...>]

Hi All,

The latest commits to the trunk of the SVN repository include a slight 
change to the format of the FIX data dictionaries that are used by the 
system. Specifically, we've moved the attributes that you used to find 
in the root XML element into a separate 'metadata' element in the XML 
file(s). This was done to make it easier to work with data dictionaries 
from the QuickFIX system - as we put together more tools that interact 
with data dictionaries, it's just easier to store those attributes (like 
Title, Fix.Major, Fix.Minor) in a separate section of the XML rather 
than trying to jam them all in as attributes of the root XML element. In 
the case of QuickFIX dictionaries, we'll just translate between their 
file format and ours when those dictionaries are loaded into tools, etc. 
and then translate them back when they need to be written out again.

There are also a number of defect fixes and improvements to some of the 
session handling and network code. As always, if you hit any problems, 
please let us know as soon as you can - send mail to the list or email 
me directly, either way, so we can get any issues resolved for you.

Thanks,

Russ
