Nov 23, 2010:
  • ql.0.78.6
  • This version should be considered a testing version for now. The reason for this is that this version introduces a few new ideas and concepts and obsoletes some of the old functions. Existing users should be very careful upgrading. important recommendations for existing users
  • First time users should not have problems and my recommendation is to use the new testing version.
  • Apart from the 64 bit support the changes on the underlying platform the are minimal so I expect this version to be very stable.
  • .NET API now uses 64 bit and was tested with 4.0 Framework at the moment it is working in this version with same APIs of 0.77.146. However there are features that I couldn't bundle in this build and will appear shortly.
  • calls to the platform from VBA and direct COM interface have been obsoleted. (use .NET instead)
