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("ActivateStopsImmediately") 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

  backtest/optimize1 : individual backtest/optimize2 : old

  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-

  commentary output (result) to the file (use after call to Apply())- void 
  Close() - closes the commentary window

  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();
