3. New, easier way of symbol-linking of charts (the button next to scrollbar allows to choose linked group (1-9))
   Implemented new way of symbol-linking of charts (the button next to scrollbar allows to choose linked group (1-9)), see above video.
4. Fixed crash when attempting to backtest on empty watch list (bug introduced in 5.01)
5. AFL: SetBarFillColor( colorarray ) allows to independently control candlestick, bar, cloud, and area chart fill color
6. OLE: when Broker.Application reference count drops to zero and AB was not running prior to CreateObject() then the AB is closed

5.03.0 BETA Read Me - MUST READ THIS
