I looked at the document - this is just a case of confusing documentation and a bit of unfortunate document titling. This is "CME FIX/FAST 2.0" which I believe is based upon FIX/FAST 1.1 features (the documentation doesn't say) would be nice if someone from CME could post a clarification. It would be nice to know which versions of FIX/FAST were used to create CME's CME FIX/FAST 1.6 and CME FIX/FAST 2.0. For the record there is no FIX/FAST 2.0 in the plans as Rolf and other's stated. There isn't even a FIX/FAST 1.6 which is a good indicator something was amiss. And Rolf correct me if I am wrong - we don't have any enhancements being worked on at this time within the working group that is open to any FIX member to participate. The FIX/FAST specification is open to anyone to use of course, regardless if you are a member of FIX or not. > The CME's pdf is located here: > http://www.cmegroup.com/globex/files/FF20ClImp.pdf > > Title: FIX/FAST 2.0 Launch New Release Availability: 1 February 2010 > Launch Date: 25 April 2010 > > They claim in the pdf, that FIX/FAST 2.0 will be replacing the current > FIX/FAST 1.6.
