Serg,

what is your view on when would be a good time to upgrade to 5.0? It sounds to 
me a little bit like the chicken and egg problem if you want to wait until 
everybody else has upgraded. Shouldn't the required functionality be the driver 
for a specific version? 5.0 and 5.0 SP1 have added a lot of functionality that 
cannot be covered by prior versions. As of 5.0 you can also use Application 
Independence and send 4.2, 4.4 and 5.0 messages over a single session. The 
upgrade effort is much less than trying to map 4.2 messages to 5.0 but it gives 
you access to additional functionality, e.g. in the area of performance 
enhancements (reduced number of messages) and reference data (market 
segmentation and trading rules). This is something required in exchange 
environments. I do not know if you need to access such marketplaces.

Regards,
Hanno.
