CHANGE LOG
CHANGES FOR VERSION 5.81.0 (as compared to 5.80.3)
- AFL Engine: custom memory allocator does not use Microsoft runtime lib
for reference tracking anymore. Result - complex formulas with lots of loops
and OLE (especially
low-level custom backtests) run upto 3 times faster in 32 bit and 4 times
faster in 64-bit
- AFL Editor: Parameter info tip significantly enhanced - now
it re-opens on typing each , (comma) and highlights current parameter to
be entered.
- UI:
Column setup dialog: added Mark All / Toggle All buttons
- AFL: GetFormulaPath()
function added - returns full formula file path
- AFL Editor: Smart reference
highlighting implemented (usage: mark a word and all references become
highlighted).
- AFL Editor: Find/Replace shows a message box when reached the
end of the file and offers restarting from the beginning if new "Wrap around" option
is turned on.
- AFL Engine: code refactoring for reduced size and improved speed
- AFL: when value of unsupported type was appended to string a crash could
occur. Fixed.
- AFL Engine: when
IIf was called the memory upsized from scalar to array could get freed twice
(wrong). Fixed
- AFL: MACD() and Signal() functions made faster (approx 1.5-2x times)
- Analysis: Interest
is added at the beginning of next bar (instead of end of current bar), to
account for overnight rate. This also fixes the problem of ignoring
interest in v.> 5.69
- UI: fixed yet another place where entering customization
changed working dir
