To encourage wider development of third party plugins we decided to release AmiBroker Development Kit (ADK) to the general public. Previously ADK was available only to registered users.

The AmiBroker Developlent Kit (ADK) is a package for C/C++ developers allowing to develop own indicator and/or data plugin DLLs. The self-extracting executable contains documentation, headers and working examples for several real-world plugins.

As per information provided on eSignal forums: http://forum.esignalcentral.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=19009 eSignal is planning to switch all QCharts accounts to regular eSignal. So if you are using QCharts plugin now, then with the release of QCharts 6.0, you can start using your QCharts accounts with the AmiBroker eSignal plugin. All you need to do is to switch the data source in File->Database Settings to eSignal and enter your QCharts user name/password in "Configure" dialog.

New, much improved version of IQFeed plugin has been released now.
The plugin now requires new IQFeed API 4.1.2.

KEY IMPROVEMENTS:

1. updated to support new IQFeed API 4.1.2.0
2. socket code completely rewritten to use asynchronous sockets instead of multiple threads and synchronous sockets
3. backfills are now much faster and less CPU hungry
4. during backfill AmiBroker charts are refreshed after arrival of every 5000 bar packet which gives better user-experience (no need to wait until entire backfill is completed)
