New Release: v0.6.3

Fixed in v0.6.3

  • Major GUI changes:
    • added Add, Edit, and Delete buttons on all search windows.
    • Save buttons on all update windows.
    • some Start and Stop buttons where needed.
    • Add... menu item off main menu
    • Put Xs back at top right hand corner, for easy closing of windows.
  • Error "trr_system_id cannot be null" on saving trading rule. You first need to save the core details of the system before adding rules, but had left the button to add rules enabled.
  • Error "value too long for type character varying(50)" when an invalid password has been entered for a user, and then click the "Obtain authentication key now" button on the Command Centre. Now shows a more descriptive error, with suggestions on how to fix it.
  • Error "Specified cast not valid" when click "Download Trans. Now" button for transaction polling. Had the account number being stored as text, and was using it as both text and a number. Changed to always be a number.
  • COUNT() function in PostgreSQL returns a 64-bit number (as opposed to 32-bit), which caused some other "Specified cast not valid" errors.
  • Could not edit a user that did not have a password entered for it when it was first created.
  • Starting backtesting on both existing configuration and any configuration windows threw an error (although different errors). PostgreSQL says SELECT 0; returns an int4, and definitely not an int2 nor double.
  • Things with a Last Updated Date field will fail on the 2nd update when choosing to "save and don't close" the window on the 1st update. Fixed for now by removing the "save and don't close" option, although I might put them back later. Currenly not essential to the proper functioning of the software.
  • Trading System ID no longer needs to be 10 characters long.
  • Ensured the account's type (of Paper or Real) is now used where needed.
  • Use wait cursor instead of disabling everything when background threads are running. This is to stop the object with focus losing the focus. But, by doing so have introduced another bug. The mouse icon merely changes to the hourglass. That is, it is still active and can still click stuff. To make it inactive, need to set the mouse for the entire application (as opposed to just the window in question) to the hourglass, but I don't want to do that.
  • The row count label is sometimes not completely visible on some windows.
  • Change "item" to the actual entity name in the menu on all windows.
  • Minor GUI changes.
