A new release candidate 3 (RC3) version (4.90.2) of AmiBroker has just been released.

It is available to everyone in the following locations:

FULL SETUP (the program, plugins, help files and sample database):
http://www.amibroker.com/bin/AmiBroker490.exe
(File size: 6,622,965 bytes, 6MB)

UPGRADE SETUP (the program, plugins and help files)
http://www.amibroker.com/bin/AmiBroker490up.exe
(File size: 5,676,884 bytes, 5MB)

The CHANGE LOG is included in the Release Notes file:
AmiBroker 4.90 rc3 Release Notes

Four small bug fixes were added as compared with RC2, two of them related to Windows Vista.

The INSTRUCTIONS can be found after installation in the User’s Guide (press F1 from AmiBroker). Users of previous versions should read “Information for users of previous versions” section of the User’s Guide.

IMPORTANT:

1. If you are using Windows Vista you should run FULL setup, as only full setup registers OLE automation servers on Vista.
2. This RC3 setup already includes newest AmiQuote 1.94 so there is no need to install it separately.
3. If you are using Firewall you may need to check if it did not block Broker.EXE file after upgrade. (It happened to some users that firewall blocked AmiBroker after upgrade and they could not connect to RT data sources)
4. For those who don’t read release notes or instructions - you should really read them, but in case you ‘forgot’ here is one important note for you:
   Window->New and Window->New Linked menus have been moved to File-> New->Default Chart and File->New->Linked Chart menus.

A new version of AmiQuote 1.93 has been released.

Download link:
http://www.amibroker.com/bin/aq1930.exe

CHANGES (as compared to 1.92):

1. Implemented fix for inconsistent Yahoo date format change (some Yahoo Historical servers changed the date from DD-MMM-YY to YYYY-MM-DD, but some others do not, so downloads from Yahoo use two different formats. AmiQuote now detects new format YYYY-MM-DD and converts to old format on-the-fly)
2. Added an option to send cookies (to enable this, check Tools->Settings, "Allow cookies"). This is useful if you are subscribed to Yahoo Realtime and want to get non-delayed quotes

IB implemented new behaviour in their newest TWS 856.7 - after issuing more than 60 backfill requests withing 5 minutes, all subsequent requests fail with Error 162, "historical data request pacing violation".
Note that 60 requests means as little as backfilling one month back of 1-minute data for 12 symbols only (in one request you can ask for data maximum 5 days long).

For details see: http://www.interactivebrokers.com/cgi-bin/discus/board-auth.pl?file=/2/39717.html

Unfortunatelly this change breaks backward compatiblity and will need to be addressed in next release of IB plugin.
