AMIBROKER終於也有勇氣出正式版了，之前出了一整年的BETA版，很搞笑

Seriously, are you the most laughable guy in the world? Why don't you create a platform yourself? L ...

Another quote found in the AB forum

[quote]Sometimes it is even better when things take longer - the concepts very often evolve and
this evolution needs time. I find myself that the longer it takes to mentally prepare yourself to do the job and to visualize the concept the better it comes out when it is finally implemented. Rushing things up does not lead to best solutions.

Hello,

It seems that not everyone understand what beta version is.

BETA versions of commercial software are WORK-IN-PROGRESS test copies released prior to the full version or even in the middle of the development cycle. They're used to put the product through real-world tests and to ferret out bugs before the finished software hits the public. If you choose to test some beta software, don't be surprised if it has multiple problems and it may even cause your computer to crash. After all, it is the beta version.

Most AmiBroker betas are very stable but this does not mean that each and every beta is problem-free.

This means that it is NOT advised to use beta for real trading. And if you do, you are doing this at *your own risk*. Please also do not expect to get all things fixed in minutes. In the past I have provided the fixes for critical things in a matter of hours but "critical" means something that makes the software completely unusable (for example repeatable, consistent crash at start). All other annoyances / problems that can be worked around by the user are NOT critical.

Hello,

Please understand that I am currently working on finalizing 5.20 release
and it is feature closed. Any improvements may appear only in next development
cycle which would cover 5.21-5.29 betas and end with 5.30 release.

I am not revealing detailed plans or schedule because I am more concerned
about quality and stability of the software than meeting some artificial deadlines.

Roughly there are 3 releases per year with 10 betas for each release, so you
get 30 betas and 3 official releases per year. This may fluctuate depending

on other high-priority tasks like maintanance of the data plugins (suchas IB plugin and IB auto-trading interface that is very time consuming to maintain because of changes in TWS that often break compatibility) that delay development of core AB functionality. Each beta usually comes with 5-10 new features/improvements. So there can be 50-100 improvements/changes/features implemented per release. Some of them are small (fixes), some are big (like say custom backtester or non-exhaustive opt engines).
