We've been hard at work on completely reworking the underlying execution layer of margin. It's now blisteringly fast on markets that have websockets! We also added support for LATOKEN as part of a partnership deal that means you don't need a margin license to trade with them!
Major new features
- Added *free* LATOKEN exchange (due to a new partnership between LATOKEN and margin)
- Major under-the-hood changes to allow for fast websocket updates (not for demo markets yet)
- Smart switching mechanics that fully use available calls to REST API if no websockets are available
- Added pump-dump detector tool window
- Quicker initialization (loading databases in the background; progress bar in currency pair tabs)
- Big code clean-up and refactoring
- Enabled manual reinitialization and disabling of websockets by clicking the websocket icon in the exchange tab
- Improved JSON parsing performance
- Fixes for many exchange backends
- A great number of smaller fixes and stability improvements
- Optimized memory handling to reduce RAM usage
- Optimized table views for improved CPU usage
- Disabled legacy leonArdo data import
- Optimized logging and log rotation
- Updated underlying Qt libraries (margin now uses Qt 5.13, which should fix a set of long-standing CSS-related stability issues)
- Removed CGEX exchange as they have gone offline
- Reworked websocket-based orderbook updates and implemented a number of checks to ensure orderbook integrity
(please note that due to missing integrity check mechanisms in Kraken and OKEx, we disabled websocket-based orderbook updates in these markets for now)
There are two ways to grab it. Either click the Update Available link in the margin login window or login to your account on https://margin.de and download from the website.
