Recent releases


Release Notes: This release improves all the menu functionality by using Glade and porting all the underlying Rapid C code to Glade's GUI widgets.


Release Notes: Missing bars in DJIA and other charts caused by large volume numbers being mishandled was fixed, and the F10 function which was failing to do proper date compression was also fixed.


Release Notes: True semilog scaling in stock graphs, improved X trendlines to make them smoother running, zooming into and out of graphs, handling the InvestorLink stock splits file, improved directory searching for stock graphs, improved colour contrast for easier viewing, and addition of list.! files to the spreads.$ library.


Release Notes: Mostly bugfixes.


Release Notes: A Y2000 upgrade. Rapid will appear to work without the upgrade, but some ways of adding price data will cause problems. Upgrade to this version before Jan 1, 2000 (be sure to do a backup before switching to this version and do another backup before Jan 1, 2000).

If I shut down the www.rapidcharting.com website, look in rapidcharting.sourceforge.net for Rapid.

Faint screen colours due to colour depth problem with xrapid
Versions 5.09 and less of Rapid only work with a colour depth of 8.
Higher colour depths cause Rapid to display faint colours
such that the menus do not appear or the graphs are faint.
You can change your colour depth of X-windows by setting
all the /etc/XF86Config, 'section "Screen"' areas to contain a line
that says : DefaultColorDepth 8
and then Rapid will work.
The next version of Rapid (version 5.10) will fix this problem.
I hope to release it before the end of February 1999.
