• fixed 'tick' base interval mode
• fixed access violation that occurred when switching base time interval for existing database
• other minor fixes

• implemented support for Mixed EOD/Intraday mode (to turn it on go to File->Database Settings->Intraday settings and check "Allow mixed EOD/Intraday data"

Version 1.5.3: ( June 8, 2004 )

• modified historical request format according to new 2.3.0.1 API specifications
• requires the newest IQFeed client 2.3.0.1 (released June 8, 2004)
