Interesting bug in the new metastock plugin: If the symbol name is just 16 characters long, the 16th character isn't shown by AB.
If the name is ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP AB shows only ABCDEFGHIJKLMNO -CS ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tomasz Janeczko" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, August 03, 2009 2:03 AM Subject: [amibroker] AmiBroker 5.27.0 ALPHA released | Hello, | | AmiBroker 5.27.0 ALPHA released | | http://www.amibroker.com/devlog/2009/08/03/amibroker-5-27-0-alpha-released/ | | ALPHA means that this version is experimental and you *must* do backup of your data files before installing it. New version changes | the format of database files (quotation / stock / drawings ), | so once data are saved with version 5.27 you will NOT be able to read them in pre-5.27 version. | The ALPHA installer comes with simple backup program that will create a copy of your AmiBroker directory - it will display right | after new program files are copied. The backup will be created in C:\AmiBrokerBackup folder. Please note that this backup is | intended to copy the database files, not program files which will be overwritten anyway. If you want to backup program files too, | you need to backup them manually prior to installation. If you made your own backup prior to installation, you can skip (Cancel) the | backup part of the install routine. | | CHANGES IN VERSION 5.27.0 (as compared to 5.26.0): | | - changed core data structures to support the following | -- 64 bit date/time field with date range of 4095 years and resolution down to microseconds | -- floating point volume and open interest fields | -- two new auxilliary data fields per bar (internally, not yet exposed) | -- 100 new user-defined fundamental data fields (internally, not yet exposed) | -- support for GICS (internally, not yet exposed) | -- upto 48 character length in Symbol/Alias/WebID fields | - Updated plugins for eSignal, IQFeed, Interactive Brokers, Quotes Plus, Metastock to support floating point volume/open int and 64 | bit date/time | - 1-second interval bars | - Metastock plugin now reads long symbol description | - Symbol lock fixed (does not interfere with Interval linking) | - Added simple "BackupAB.exe" to backup entire AmiBroker folder after installation to prevent data in old format. | | Details in the read me: | http://www.amibroker.com/devlog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/readme5270.html | | Best regards, | Tomasz Janeczko | amibroker.com | | | | ------------------------------------ | | **** IMPORTANT PLEASE READ **** | This group is for the discussion between users only. | This is *NOT* technical support channel. | | TO GET TECHNICAL SUPPORT send an e-mail directly to | SUPPORT {at} amibroker.com | | TO SUBMIT SUGGESTIONS please use FEEDBACK CENTER at | http://www.amibroker.com/feedback/ | (submissions sent via other channels won't be considered) | | For NEW RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENTS and other news always check DEVLOG: | http://www.amibroker.com/devlog/ | | Yahoo!
