We are getting close to finishing up. We think the prerelease of Sierra Chart will become the main release around January 1. We are seeing the issue with the spreadsheet cells not getting the focus when the spreadsheet MDI child gets the focus. Also some other spreadsheet display and activation issues, which are resolved but not released but we want to review them more and understand the underlying problem better. We still need to work on arranging minimized windows. Another feature that is going to be added, is the ability to automatically scroll the MDI virtual space as you are moving a child window and you reach a boundary where there is additional space beyond that boundary to move the window. So you can move the child window anywhere within the virtual space easily in a single operation. Another idea with the MDI virtual space, is that we could automatically scroll the virtual space to bring a chart within view if it is not currently within view, when selecting it from the CW menu. Regarding detachable Chartbooks, the way we think that will work is there will be two operating modes. The current operating mode where Chartbooks open within, the main Sierra Chart window and only one can be visible. So no changes with this. Another operating mode, where every Chartbook that is opened, opens within its own window. This really is the only practical way to do this. Changing the parent window for a group of MDI child windows is unnecessarily complicated. So the idea of detaching a Chartbook would not exist. A Chartbook would simply open within their own window. And we will be adding an option to put time and sales, in a chart. And implementing full trade window functionality within a control bar. This will be the replacement for the trade window. The current trade window as it is currently, will go away when MFC is removed from Sierra Chart and that would happen sometime in 2026. Most likely, in the third quarter.
