NeoTicker – next release coming soon
We’ve been working very hard to address several important issues. I think it is almost ready and it is a good time to let you all know what the next release is all about.
First, we have redesigned the way NeoTicker and Sim Server cooperate such that the reconnection issue should now be taken care of.
Second, several Sim Server related known issues are addressed in this release.
Third, a new IQFeed data server is now ready, it has the core changes needed to work with the latest release of IQFeed client from DTN. Future versions will include support of other features from IQFeed.
Several reported serious bugs, although only happen rarely, are identified and addressed.
Some simple UI change requests are included to improve usage experience.
