Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knows anything about the QuickFix project and if there are any later development work done on this open source library.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/quickfix/files/quickfix/

The last release was on 2006-09-14 version 1.12.4.

Regards,

C.

So far as I can make out, nothing has been done on QuickFIX since 2006. Certainly that’s when the wesbite last had anything happen to it.

Hi,

Most is now happening on QuickFix/J, the Java version of the tool:

It is quite active and works well.

Hope this helps…

It does thanks. Although Java is a little slower than C++ :S

Hi Charles,

I would have to agree with other posters here that QuickFIX/C++, for all intents and purposes seems to be pretty stagnant. The same cannot be said for QuickFIX/J, which appears to have both a very active user community and development team.

Are you looking for an OSS solution for a specific language? If you are doing anything with .NET/C#, you might consider taking a look at the open-source FIX engine my company has released - it’s called VersaFix and can be found at:

We also have a local resource page for the project at our corporate site, which is at:

http://www.assimilate.com/Products/VersaFix

If you are not targeting .NET, I would highly recommend that you consider QuickFIX/J instead of QuickFIX/C++. The reason for this is that the folks that are running the QF/J project are putting work into ensuring that it stays current with the FIX protocol, while the QF/C++ project doesn’t provide out of the box support for versions of FIX that are later than 4.4. If you just need a point solution for a version of FIX before FIX 5.0, you are still quite safe with QF/C++.

Cheers.

If you have access to a SVN you can download the project and try to participate in its ongoing development.

svn co QuickFIX download | SourceForge.net

I have been working on trying to get it updated to 5.x version for a client - but also re-contribute my work back into the source tree. If enough of us give back to what have been an excellent library thus far then I do not see why it cannot progress.

Thanks,
