CHANGES FOR VERSION 5.82.1 (as compared to 5.82.0)
- AFL Engine: fixes for stability issues in 5.81.0/5.82.0
- Filter dialog: a matching count wasn't updated on opening the dialog. Fixed.
- Bug report window made a little bigger so at least crash address is seen when someone sends screenshot instead of text
CHANGES FOR VERSION 5.82.0 (as compared to 5.81.0)
- UI: Interpretation and Commentary windows now support color text (via EncodeColor), bold and italic styles (tags: for bold, for italic)
- UI: Notepad, Interpretation and Commentary windows use default GUI font instead of hard-coded Tahoma now
- AFL: functionality of PlotGrid() function extended
- UI: Filter dialog now displays number of matching symbols in real-time as selections are made
- AFL Editor: added 4 new snippets under "Function" category
- AFL: In 5.81.0 CategoryGetName returned nothing (void) instead of string type when specified category did not exist. Fixed (empty string is returned now)
- AFL engine: in v5.81 access violation could occur when AFL array size was 0. Fixed.
- New Analysis: portfolio backtest processing was attempted even if there was no symbols that matched "apply to" filter. Fixed (unnecesary processing is skipped now).
- AFL: CCI function speeded up by 50%
- Inserting indicator with Param() calls into chart when currently selected symbol had no quotes caused exception. Fixed.
CHANGES FOR VERSION 5.81.0 (as compared to 5.80.3)
- AFL Engine: custom memory allocator does not use Microsoft runtime lib for reference tracking anymore. Result - complex formulas with lots of loops and OLE (especially low-level custom backtests) run upto 3 times faster in 32 bit and 4 times faster in 64-bit
- AFL Editor: Parameter info tip significantly enhanced - now it re-opens on typing each , (comma) and highlights current parameter to be entered.
- UI: Column setup dialog: added Mark All / Toggle All buttons
- AFL: GetFormulaPath() function added - returns full formula file path
- AFL Editor: Smart reference highlighting implemented (usage: mark a word and all references become highlighted).
- AFL Editor: Find/Replace shows a message box when reached the end of the file and offers restarting from the beginning if new "Wrap around" option is turned on.
- AFL Engine: code refactoring for reduced size and improved speed
- AFL Engine: when value of unsupported type was appended to string a crash could occur. Fixed.
- AFL Engine: when IIf was called the memory upsized from scalar to array could get freed twice (wrong). Fixed
- AFL: MACD() and Signal() functions made faster (approx 1.5-2x times)
- Analysis: Interest is added at the beginning of next bar (instead of end of current bar), to account for overnight rate. This also fixes the problem of ignoring interest in v.> 5.69
- UI: fixed yet another place where entering customization changed working dir
KNOWN ISSUES:
- No known.
