Author	Topic: Is it worth the effort to upgrade to 2.3? (2 messages, Page 1 of 1)
wmillows -DTN Evangelist- Posts: 116 Joined: Jul 14, 2004	Posted: Sep 7, 2004 12:43 PM Msg. 1 of 2 Hi, I am currently using IQFeed 2.2.7.2 with .NET C# through TCP/IP sockets. I am thinking to upgrade to 2.3? I am not sure if it is worth the effort. Is this version stable than 2.2? In my one year with IQFeed, I have overcome numerous problems, bad real time field data, crashes, no history data avaiable around 9pm PST, sometimes there are history data for one symbol but not the other, minutes later, retry is able to get both data for both symbols. If I upgrading to 2.3, do I need to go through this again? What prompts me to think about upgrading is since last friday, the s&p emini quote became delayed even though I subscribed to real time. The support rep tweaked my account info to get real time quote again. I am not sure why it requires changes since before last Friday, I am receiving real time quote. PS: is there a 2.3 release note somewhere? I tried to find out what API changes from 2.2.
