Other changes in this release:

• various improvements to the code

• bug fix: strike prices were being parsed as integers, so that entering a non-integer strike price caused an exception

• switched to using API 9.76.1

v1.3.0

• Fixed some dreadful bugs in the price formatting for minimum tick sizes of 32nds, 64ths and 128ths. I'm embarrassed that I ever wrote such rubbish in the first place! Things like the ZB and ZF futures contracts now display properly.

• Improved the price formatting performance - the GetPriceFormatter() method returns a formatting function that is specific to the sec type and the minimum tick size.

• Improved the market depth display to show average prices with a number of decimals based on the minimum tick size. For minimum tick sizes of 32nds, 64ths and 128ths, the average prices are shown in the same tick units, with decimal fractions appended: eg 114''26.37: this makes it much clearer how the average prices relate to the individual price levels.

• Fixed bugs where market data and market depth can arrive from the API after cancelling.

• Updated to use API 9.74.

• Added the Primary Exchange field to the contract display.

• Added Open, High, Low and Previous Close prices to the market data display.

• Made lots of minor improvements to the code.

v1.2.0

Displays of localSymbol now represent spaces as interpuncts (ie 'middle dots'). This is helpful because many local symbols contain multiple consecutive spaces that can be difficult to see. For example, ZB SEP 18 will now appear as ZB···SEP·18.

Fixed bug where cancelMktData() was called for snapshot tickers: however it seems they cannot be cancelled.

v1.1.0

The layout of the ContractInspector form has been improved.

Snapshot data can now be requested instead of full market data if required.

v1.0.0

This is the first release, containing only the first version of the ContractInspector tool.
