And that is what I really hate about this
list. That people come up
whinning without really checking things.
All
"Syntax errors" problems were because people were using RESERVED
words in
their formulas. I provided the simple way to replace every
reserved word
http://www.amibroker.com/kb/2007/04/05/new-keywords-in-afl-and-
possible-conflict-with-user-defined-variables/
Still
after repeating this 10 times people came here claiming that it
is a bug
in AmiBroker and that I should fix something. After another
round of 20
e-mails it turned out that it was their formula.
But the damage was already
made - people like you are afraid that beta
is buggy and the image of
product is destroyed.
Why - simply because people DID NOT follow the
instructions given many
times and did not bother to actually check if they
use reserved words.
The same with watch lists - there may be some
display / refresh issue
still present but generally speaking it is working
just fine PLUS
watch lists in old format are NOT affected so even if you do
something
you can revert back and your old watchlists will be untouched
in old version.
All in all I am not going to run circles to
convince anyone that this
beta is as good as any previous
versions.
What I am considering now is to STOP releasing betas to the
public at
all. It is causing too much stress for me and to much work
answering
all those unchecked bug claims.
I will probably move to
closed-beta scheme where betas will be
available only to selected
people.
All the others will just get released official version.
