Hello,
Facts are as follows:
During last 2 days AmiBroker 4.80 has been downloaded (and
as I expect installed) 837 times.
Only 3 people experienced any crash (from reports we
received)
That's 0.36% of installed base.
This very low rate shows that
these are local problems that could be resolved by checking
hardware stability
and eventual re-installing of the software.
Changes between 4.79.0 and 4.80.0 are cosmetic and do not
affect anything.
The only real issue with 4.80.0 is the fact that Easy alerts
under some circumstances
fail to start working. But this will be fixed in
4.80.1
So there will be _no_ RC2 as 4.80.0 has proved to be very
stable (99.6% installations without problems)
and 4.80.1 will be released as official version with only
one fix to Easy alerts.
As for
"No point IMO to get too
serious about 4.80 before the Help files surface."
This comment is completely off-base as Help file
IS UPDATED ALREADY
(the comment just proves that you did not even
bother to press F1 key).
Best regards,

Problems?
My problems with 4.80 weren't identical to yours, but
there were several
crashes.
Forwarded details to support and installed
4.70 then 4.79 in a new
directory.
May try reinstalling 4.80RC1 over
the misbehaving instance if RC2 doesn't
show by Monday.
No point IMO
to get too serious about 4.80 before the Help files surface.
Thanks
for your feedback.
Bob

Problems?
AB 4.80.0RC1 initally worked fine for me (with TC2005)
after it was first
upgraded yesterday from 4.79. Today, though, I
did have a problem in that
AB would begin to start up, then the program
would suddenly stop and
disappear from the screen. I'd do a double
click on the AB shortcut icon to
try to run it again, but with the same
result of an aborted startup..
In my case, I thought it may have been
because last night I'd done a disk
defragment and then an incremental
disk backup. Figured maybe something got
corrupted by the
operations or how I did them, or ... whatever. Anyway, I
restored
my AB folder today using an earlier disk backup of AB 4.79, which
then
seemed to run OK. That is, it ran normally and could get TC2005
EOD
data, etc.
My final step, done tonight, was to
reinstall/upgrade to AB 4.80 again using
AmiBroker480up.exe. So
far, all seems to be normal once more and I can
access my TC2k
database. (EOD data is up to date, as of today's 4/13
market
close).
Don't know if this helps any, but perhaps there is
something more going on
that's causing problems between AB and TC2005
(and maybe some other
program(s)?).
