CHANGES FOR VERSION 5.40.3 (as compared to 5.40.2)

1. GfxTextOut produced too large text on paper / printout. Fixed.
2. GicsID returns empty string when GICS is not defined for symbol
3. PlotText: y==Null check added to skip calls that don't produce any output

CHANGES FOR VERSION 5.40.2 (as compared to 5.40.0)

1. 64-bit version: MS VC++2005 compiler default floating point code generation option switched back to fp:precise because fp:fast produced incorrect code
2. Print preview and Edit->Image->Copy respect Price chart style setting
3. Notepad window: pressing Ctrl+C/V/X and ESC key afterwards closed AmiBroker without warning. Fixed.
4. Quick review: Volume is printed without using scientific notation upto 9 billion
5. Exception dialog "Exit program" exits program forcefully now. This prevents situation when program could not be closed and sometimes corrupted data on exit.
6. Selection line is handled properly again in Print preview/Edit->Image->Copy
7. AA / Scan outputting lots (10K+) of signals made much faster
8. Memory consumption during AA / Explorations reduced significantly, also multi-column explorations are much faster (10x)
9. 64-bit version: AB x64 reverted to "Daily" setting when re-entering AA Settings dialog if user previously selected weekly/monthly/quarterly/yearly. Fixed

CHANGES FOR VERSION 5.40.0 (as compared to 5.39.0)

1. Fixed crash occuring when drawing object was not deselected prior to switching symbol
2. Added extra thread safety measure for Foreign() so it handles situation when other thread is deleting symbol while it is being accessed via Foreign()
3. New version (1.3) of 3D chart viewer (O3G) fixes problem with Edit->Copy image function on Vista/Windows 7 with desktop composition turned ON
4. Multithreading does not revert to "ON" state on startup when user turned if OFF last time (it was so in 5.34-5.39 to force testing of MT)
5. Temporarily removed asInvoker manifest because it created problems with 3rd party programs/plugins that are not Windows 7 compatible (QP2, FastTrack)
6. AFL thread termination is safer and faster now (this also eliminates randomly occuring AFL syntax errors when swithing layouts)
7. AFL: PercentRank( array, range ) implemented

   Inputs:
   array - input data
   range - lookback range

   Returns percent rank (0...100) of the current element of the array within all elements over the specified range.

   A value of 100 indicates that the current element of the array is the highest for the given lookback range, while a value of 0 indicates that the current value is the lowest for the given lookback range.

   It is equivalent (but 2x faster) to:

   function PercentRank2( Data, Periods)
   {
   Count = 0;
   for ( i = 1; i Ref( Data, -i );
   }
   return 100 * Count / Periods;
   }
