Donate future development of IBController

As you know automated trading interface for AmiBroker is provided to everyone for free. You can just download it from http://www.amibroker.com/at/
Quite recently however someone asked me if there is an option to pay for IBController because he wanted to donate the development. So for everyone who wants to donate for further development of IBController I have created a payment option ($100 one time fee) here:
https://usd.swreg.org/cgi-bin/s.cgi?s=1269&p=1269IBC&v=0&d=0&q=1&c=USD

If you use IBController extensively and want to donate for further development you may consider spending $100 for it. Note that it is considered strictly a donation and you won’t receive any extras in return except warm feeling that you helped the development of the software you are using and guarantee that if ever IBController changes its status (i.e. from free software to commercial one), you will have license to use it and receive free upgrades.

AmiBroker Feedback Center launched

Today we launched new on-line service called AmiBroker Feedback Center at:
http://www.amibroker.com/feedback/

AmiBroker Feedback Center is the area to enter feature requests / suggestions and bug reports, view issues reported by others and track development and resolution/fixes of the bugs submitted.

In not so distant future there will be voting capability added that will allow everyone to show how given suggestion is important for the community.

In order to enter AmiBroker Feedback Center please login with your AmiBroker members’ area username / password that was included in your registration e-mail.

If you forgot or lost your password you can retrieve it automatically using password reminder service at: http://www.amibroker.com/login.html

Note that this is “external” list (visible to all registered users) but we also manage our “internal” TO-DO list that is not exposed to the public for many reasons (competitive, technical, etc). The “internal” list contains all things submitted in the past so there is no real reason to re-submit old suggestions if they were confirmed already. But it also does not hurt if you do.

We also reserve right to add/edit/remove any entries posted in AmiBroker Feedback Center on our own discretion.

Knowledge Base now features syntax highlighting

Knowledge Base now features automatic AFL syntax highlighting. It is not yet perfect (i.e. it is a bit different from AmiBroker’s built-in algorithm but it was quick to implement and I think it does the job quite well). Also added today is the archive listing showing only titles of posts for quick viewing.

DevLog and Knowledge Base started

Today two new on-line services started: DevLog (this one) http://www.amibroker.com/devlog/ which is intended to provide you with up-to-date news about releases, betas as well as on-going development. In addition to that from time to time I may add some personal note or comment.

Second service is Knowledge Base http://www.amibroker.com/kb/
which is intended to provide tips & tricks, code examples, etc. for everyday AmiBroker use. The idea behind is to build searchable knowledge base from the answers that previously got “lost” in thousands of responses sent to the mailing list.

Both are based on WordPress (blogging software) which is RSS aware, and allows you to integrate them into your favourite RSS-news reader. To learn more what RSS is and how RSS can make your life easier please check this site.

I hope you will like both services.
