Tomasz,
Why the change to "vertical quote 
selection line in linked windows is now independent<SPAN 
class=406411417-15032004>"?
<SPAN 
class=406411417-15032004>FWIW 
I grew up on the QCharts [linked] 
mode and much prefer it.

  CHANGE LOG
  CHANGES FOR VERSION 4.52.0 (as compared to 4.51.1)
  
    fixed problem with fixup=0 and handling multiple data holes in a row
    added new commands to ASCII format definitions:$MINTICKERLEN 
    <number> - defines minimum accepted length of the ticker 
    symbol$MAXTICKERLEN <number> - defines maximum accepted length of 
    the ticker symbol For example ASX users may wish to use$MAXTICKERLEN 
    3to make sure that ASCII importer accepts only symbols that have no more 
    than 3 characters (this excludes ASX options and warrants)
    fixed problem with incorrect very first value of the array returned by 
    variable-period version of HHV/LLV 
    fixed Procedure/function parameter overwrite issue when using built-in 
    price arrays and variable overwrite issue
    memory allocated for return value is marked for earlier freeing so 
    calling user-defined functions inside loops should consume less memory 
    Interval() function enhanced. Now accepts format parameter:Interval( 
    format = 0 );possible values:format = 0 - returns bar interval in 
    secondsformat = 1 - as above plus TICK bar intervals are returned with 
    negative signso Interval() function applied to 10 tick chart will return 
    -10format = 2 - returns STRING with name of interval such as 
    "weekly/monthly/daily/hourly/15-minute/5-tick"
    vertical quote selection line in linked windows is now independent 
    changing "same day stops" via SetOption("SameDayStops") in portfolio 
    backtest mode has an effect now (previously reacted only on manual 
    settings)
    SetOption("CommissionMode", mode ) works now in portfolio mode too 
    (previously workedin old backtest mode only)
    SetOption("CommissionAmount", amount ) works now in portfolio mode too 
    (previously workedin old backtest mode only)
    $SEPARATOR command in ASCII importer definitions now allows to import 
    files that have fields separated by more than one separator characters 
    Separator string (array of characters) must be enclosed in quotation marks. 
    If there is only one separator character (as in old versions) then quotation 
    marks are needed.For example files with joined date and 
    time$SEPARATOR ", "$FORMAT 
    DATE_YMD,TIME,OPEN,HIGH,LOW,CLOSEwill be able to import file like 
    this:2004-02-04 12:30,3.41,3.44,3.40,3.42 (note date and time field 
    are separated by space not by comma)
    Import wizard now supports new separators 'comma or space', 'semicolon 
    or space' and 'tab or space' 
    ASCII importer and Quote Editor properly distinguish records with 
    time specified as 00:00:00 from EOD records (without time) 
   
  CHANGES FOR VERSION 4.51.1 (as compared to 4.51.0)
  
    OLE interface methods numbering adjusted to maintain backward 
    compatibility with previous versions and other programs referring to old OLE 
    interface
  CHANGES FOR VERSION 4.51.0 (as compared to 4.50.10)
  
    OLE automation interface changes: 
    Analysis.Backtest and Analysis.Optimize now support new "Type" 
    parameter.Type can be one of the following values:0 : portfolio 
    backtest/optimize1 : individual backtest/optimize2 : old 
    backtest/optimizeFor backward compatibility Type parameter is 
    optional and defaults to 2(old backtest/optimize)
    Example code:AB = new 
    ActiveXObject("Broker.Application");AB.Analysis.Backtest( 0 ); // 
    perform portfolio backtestAB.Analysis.Optimize( 0 ); // perform 
    portfolio optimize
    
    OLE automation interface new object: "Commentary"This object has 
    5 methods:- BOOL LoadFormula( STRING pszFileName ) - loads the 
    formula- BOOL SaveFormula( STRING pszFileName ) - saves the formula- 
    void Apply() - displays the commentary - BOOL Save( STRING pszFileName 
    ); - saves commentary output (result) to the file (use after call to 
    Apply())- void Close() - closes the commentary window
    Commentary object is accessible from Broker.Application object via 
    Commentary property:
    Example code:AB = new 
    ActiveXObject("Broker.Application");AB.Commentary.LoadFormula("C:\\Program 
    Files\\AmiBroker\\AFL\\MACD_c.afl");AB.Commentary.Apply();AB.Commentary.Save("Test.txt");AB.Commentary.SaveFormula("MACDTest.afl");//AB.Commentary.Close();

    Returns current date / time in numerous of formats: // formats 
    supported by old versionsformat = 0 - returns string containing current 
    date/time formatted according to system settings format = 1 - returns 
    string containing current date only formatted according to system settings 
    format = 2 - returns string containing current time only formatted 
    according to system settings format = 3 - returns DATENUM number with 
    current date format = 4 - returns TIMENUM number with current time 
    format = 5 - returns DATETIME number with current date/time // new 
    formats available from version 4.51format = 6 - returns current DAY 
    (1..31) format = 7 - returns current MONTH (1..12)format = 8 - 
    returns current YEAR (four digit) format = 9 - returns current DAY OF 
    WEEK (1..7, where 1=Sunday, 2=Monday, and so on)format = 10 - returns 
    current DAY OF YEAR (1..366)
    
    Custom indicators:If plot name is empty the value of such plot does 
    not appear in the titleand does not appear in the data tool tip
    Plot( C, "Price", colorWhite, styleCandle );Plot( MA( C, 10 ), "", 
    colorRed ); // NOTE that this plot name/value will NOT appear in the 
    titlePlot( MA( C, 20 ), "MA20", colorGreen );
    
    SetOption( "field", value )accepts new fields:"CommissionMode" -

    trade (default = True )
    
    new AFL function: GetOption( "field" ) - retrieves the settings, accepted 
    fields the same as in SetOption.
    Example:
    PositionSize = -100 / GetOption("MaxOpenPositions");
    
    new AFL function: GetRTData( "field" )- retrieves the LAST (the most 
    recent) value of the following fieldsreported by streaming real time 
    data source )(Note 1: this function is available ONLY in PROFESSIONAL 
    edition,calling it using Standard edition will give you NULL values for 
    all fields)(Note 2: works only if data source uses real time data source 
    (plugin) )(Note 3: availablity of data depends on underlying data 
    source- check the real-time quote window to see if given field is 
    available )(Note 4: function result represents the current value at the 
    time of the call/formula execution/, and they will be refreshed 
    depending on chart or commentary refresh interval/settable in 
    preferences/. Built-in real time quote window is refreshedway more often 
    (at least 10 times per second) )
