aqt-base

Hey there,

the 1.3 version now contains tickSize, lotsize and tick values for instrument specification. Using the hibernate dao with your database will result in an automatic upgrade (or database schema creation) through hibernate. Three columns for the afore mentioned pieces of information are added plus to the existing columns.

Upgrade should be painless because of hibernate.

Cheers!

A while ago already, Mike released the 1.2 version of aqt-base. It's worth a look !
I think we are slowly getting into a release cycle mode :-)

Release 1.1 is an interim release, to be shortly replaced with 1.2.

We have few bugs fixed here and there. Note that we dropped checked exceptions from many of AQ interfaces, so when linking against new AQ base release, you'll have to adjust your code accordingly.

We also added source attachments to maven artifacts, which should make eclipse experience better.

Temporarily I added extra repository for AQ artifacts because continuum on the main AQ site is giving us some technical problems (this is why we will need to re-release as soon as this is fixed).

To try things out - go and check out activequant-examples project (that has been released in sync with the base). Use SVN tag 1.1.

After long years, AQ finally contains Tick Size, Tick Value and Lot size in the Instrument Specification. Now it is finally possible to properly compute the cash value of a contract, which is very important for computing things like exposure.

First release is out!

Since I am still polishing the release process, we may need another release shortly. This is the long-overdue release of the AQ framework and base components.

No code changes compared to what you've seen as 1.0-SNAPSHOT. Just added convenience of faster compiles (now that maven does not have to re-check snapshot updates at every build).
