Dear Hanno! Actually, I am talking from point of view of third-party developers which working with brokers. We was build a lot of connectors but I still dont know sell sides which provide 5.0. If you on opposite side of barricades - please, add support of 5.0. You absolutely right about engines - many of them allow handle several versions of protocol in one instance For the last few years I noticed movement from 4.2 to 4.4 as more extended and function rich version. Same we can expect from 5.0. But this more on proposal side rather than demand:). > Serg, > > what is your view on when would be a good time to upgrade to 5.0?
