The most recent TWS (858.4) has some serious issues, see:
http://www.interactivebrokers.com/discus/messages/2/34933.html?1145996463
and
http://www.interactivebrokers.com/discus/messages/2/34913.html?1146089324

So don't install it. If you already upgraded to TWS 858 you should install previous version 857 from IB download page:
http://www.interactivebrokers.com/cgi-bin/jtwsControl.pl?ib_entity=uk
scroll down to "standalone downloads - previous versions".

New Quotes Plus plugin (version 1.6.0) has been released now.

It is available for download from:
http://www.amibroker.com/bin/QP2.dll

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Download the plugin
2. Copy it into "Plugins" subfolder of AmiBroker directory (make sure that old version is overwritten with new one so only ONE copy of QP2 plugin is inside Plugins subfolder)
3. Run AmiBroker (to confirm that correct plugin has been installed you can go to Tools->Plugins menu. The list of plugins should show Quotes Plus plugin version 1.6.0)
4. To create database with QP2 plugin follow help file: http://www.amibroker.com/guide/h_extsources.html

CHANGES FOR VERSION 1.6.0 (as compared to version 1.5.1)

1. Exclude symbols without quotes works correctly even if "only with status = 0" box is unchecked
2. "Only active" box has been renamed to "only with issue_status = 0" because of the fact that issue status field is not reliable way of detecting active symbols. Also by default this field is now unchecked

Some people using Yahoo Mail (@yahoo.com addresses) and other mail providers seem to have problems with receiving e-mails from us (including registration). These people complain that we did not respond. But WE DID!

The reason why you don't see it, is that Yahoo and other provides marks legitimate e-mails as spam / marketing and it all lands in your BULK e-mail BOX.

So please check your Bulk e-mail / Spam box / Spam filter for any missing communication.

A new version (4.80.0) of AmiBroker has just been released.

This is a RELEASE CANDIDATE version, with full setup, updated help files, plugins and everything else.

It is available to the public from:
http://www.amibroker.com/download.html

CHANGES FOR VERSION 4.80.0 (as compared to 4.79.0)

1. Added extra information to "detailed log" to show commissions charged during scaling and both average and current exit price
2. Partial exit (scale-out) profits are included now in trade stats
3. Fix EOD missing Friday if "Filter weekedns" is turned ON and Daily compression uses Night / Day session settings (#28659)
4. AFL Editor: Added F1 handling of for/while/do-while/if-else
5. "SCAN" now displays prices using 4 decimal places
6. Fixed problem with progress bar locking active window instead of AA window when in run-every mode
7. Fixed: Layouts messed up with multiple instances running (ext.ID: 3)
8. "Margin requirement" in the AA settings renamed to "ACCOUNT margin" to clearly show that it is NOT futures margin
9. Eliminated resource leak in ExportImage OLE function
10. Fixed potential thread interlock in Indicator Maintenance wizard (should prevent hangup especially on multi-CPU/core machines)
11. Indicator tables are written to file (broker.newcharts) after each chart insert, before and after Ind. Maintenance just to prevent data loss if AB is not closed properly
12. Symbol->Watch List->Import refreshes entire symbol tree, not only watch list leaf
13. added few new formulas into Formulas\Indicators folder

ATTENTION: Existing users should pick "UPGRADE" version of the setup and should NOT change the installation directory that is automatically detected from previous installation. So to perform upgrade just keep on clicking on "NEXT" button without changing any defaults.

Today we launched new on-line service called AmiBroker Feedback Center at:
http://www.amibroker.com/feedback/

AmiBroker Feedback Center is the area to enter feature requests / suggestions and bug reports, view issues reported by others and track development and resolution/fixes of the bugs submitted.

In not so distant future there will be voting capability added that will allow everyone to show how given suggestion is important for the community.

In order to enter AmiBroker Feedback Center please login with your AmiBroker members' area username / password that was included in your registration e-mail.

If you forgot or lost your password you can retrieve it automatically using password reminder service at: http://www.amibroker.com/login.html

Note that this is "external" list (visible to all registered users) but we also manage our "internal" TO-DO list that is not exposed to the public for many reasons (competitive, technical, etc). The "internal" list contains all things submitted in the past so there is no real reason to re-submit old suggestions if they were confirmed already. But it also does not hurt if you do.

We also reserve right to add/edit/remove any entries posted in AmiBroker Feedback Center on our own discretion.
