  • New JavaScript output for lightweight and compatible Ajax-like web integration (convert-as-you-type fields, widgets, etc.)

Support for these new feed properties was added to the Universal XML filter. Service expiration reminders were included among the administrative notifications.

  • The COM/ActiveX and .NET interfaces have been both streamlined and extended, while preserving compatible interfaces for legacy code. New features include the ability to programmatically set FX feeds and their access mode, to export data in XML and other formats on the fly, and to access the properties of all currencies (opposed to active currencies only)
