CHANGES FOR VERSION 6.20.0 (as compared to 6.19.0)

• AFL: new function GetExtraDataForeign – the same as GetExtraData but works with user-specified ticker instead of current one
• AFL: ShellExecute supports “runbatch” command. After running batch batch and analysis windows that were opened by batch are automatically closed
• Batch: new command DataPluginCmd – calls data plugin DataPluginCmd function (if it is exported from your data DLL) – allows custom actions to be peformed by the plugin from the batch (like maintenance)
• Batch: new command ExecuteAndWait – allows to execute external program and wait for its completion (allows among other things launching AmiQuote download and waiting until it is complete)
• New Analysis: changed forced refresh frequency of result list to every 250ms when analysis is in progress (since 6.16 when messaging system has changed it was refreshed “on idle”)
• New Analysis: when user specified symbol with NO quotes at all as a reference symbol AND used “last N days” range AND used Exploration then it would lead to crash. Protection implemented against this scenario.
• OLE: AnalysisDoc.Export supports now extra (optional) parameter WhatToExport and it allows now to export not only result list but also walkforward tab Analysis.Export(“file”, 1 );
• UI: In 64 bit version File Dialog was not resizable due to differences in Microsoft runtime. Now it is made resizable.
