CHANGES FOR VERSION 6.07.0 (as compared to 6.06.0)

• AFL: compression for array Static variables implemented to save memory and file size: StaticVarSet has additional parameter that controls compression
•     AFL: printf/StrFormat check for %s, %c, %d, %x, %i, %u, %x, %p sequences that are not supported now and prints Error 62 when they are found.
•     AFL: printf/StrFormat now implement a check for correct formatting string as sometimes users passed strings with % that is special marker for formatting string instead of %% to print actual percent sign
•     AFL: Some variable period functions such as Ref/Sum/MA incorrectly accepted matrix as a ‘period’. Fixed (proper error message is displayed now).
•     AFL: StaticVarGet/StaticVarSet functions now support matrices including persistency (so matrices can be written to disk and loaded back between AmiBroker runs)
•     AFL: VarSet/VarGet officially accept matrices (allow dynamic variables of matrix type). (FWIW they were accepted in previous versions but implementation was incomplete.)
•     Charting: Candlestick wicks thickness is now user definable as % of candle width with a max. pixel width (Tools->Preferences, “Bars and Candles” tab). Also by default wick thickness is now 25%/5px max instead of constant 1 pixel.
•     Charting: Cycles tool in weekly chart produced incorrect lines when it went past 2038. Fixed.
•     Charting: Horizontal line tool level is now displayed with number of decimals as defined in Preferences (Misc tab, “decimal places in chart titles/tools”). Note that this setting is used when you draw a new line or modify old.
•     Debugger: Added F5 key as keyboard shortcut for “Debug / Go”
