CHANGES FOR VERSION 6.06.0 (as compared to 6.05.0)

• AFL Editor: Bookmarks implemented (Ctrl+F2 – toggle bookmark, F2 – go to next bookmark, Shift+F2 – go to previous bookmark
•     AFL Editor: Find in Files – when file name contained braces () double click on it would not open it. Fixed.
•     AFL Editor: Line comment puts double // comments on lines that appear after empty line. Fixed. Now empty lines are left untouched.
•     AFL: extra parameter for DateTimeToStr function mode (mode = 0 – convert both date and time portion, 1 – only date, 2 – only time ) Note that mode 2 would give you empty string when applied on chart with daily or longer interval
•     AFL: new function GfxFillSolidRect( x1, y1, x2, y2, color ) – it is fastest method to fill solid rectangle with single color (faster than GfxRectangle)
•     AFL: new function SumSince – a fast sum of array elements since condition was true, works like Cum( array ) – ValueWhen( condition, Cum( array ) ) or Sum( array, BarsSince( condition ), but much faster
•     AFL: Variable period Sum() performance improved significantly when period changes +/-1 on bar by bar basis
•     Categories dialog: added ability to re-arrange the order of markets/groups/sectors/industries and watch lists using “Move Up” / “Move down” buttons
•     New Analysis: Added an option “Auto-size columns to fit content” – OFF by default. When turned on, column widths are adjusted to fit the content after analysis is complete. Note that this means that any widths specified in width parameter in AddColumn will be ignored if this option is ON.
•     New Analysis: when “Wait for backfill” was turned ON and some symbols in the “Apply to” list were wrong (non-existing) then Analysis attempted to run code for symbol without quotes causing trouble. Fixed.
