I have just noticed that all Aliases have disappeared from my database, 
apparently after upgrading from v4.80 to v4.89.0.

I don't really use those Aliases for anything so I haven't noticed this right 
away. In previous releases I had alias  assigned to each ticker, just in case I 
decide to switch the data provider. My tickers are in MyTrack format and 
Aliases were in Qcharts format. I haven't touched importer's Format Definition 
File for several months, that's why the prime suspect is the version upgrade.

ASCii file sample:

BCE-T, 20070202, TSE:BCE, 31.45, 31.48, 30.75, 30.75, 2551777, 3951
