Jerry Medved Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 We need to upgrade Medved Trader to use .NET 4.5. Windows XP can only support .NET 4.0 and thus will not be able to use new versions of the software. We will also need to upgrade our servers for security reasons, which will make it impossible for programs running on Windows XP to connect to them using SSL. To continue using Medved Trader, you would need to upgrade the computer to a newer version of Windows or use MT on another computer that has a newer version of Windows. We recommend Windows 10 or Windows 7. We plan to have at least one more update of the MT Software that will still be compatible with XP. MT automatic update mechanism will not upgrade to an incompatible version. We plan to update the software to use .NET 4.5 on or after September 26, 2015. We plan to update our servers on or after October 17, 2015. Older versions of MT will continue to function properly for about a month after the server is updated, so most likely until November. Technical reasons for the update: Transport Layer Security (TLS) and its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), are both frequently referred to as 'SSL' and are required for secure communication over the Internet TLS version 1.0 has been compromised. Everyone is updating their servers to only support TLS 1.2. .NET 4.0 (which is currently used by MT) only supports TLS 1.0 and we would need to update to .NET 4.5 to get TLS 1.2 support. .NET 4.5 cannot be used on XP. So - MT will not be able to support XP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishduckster Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Thanks Mr. Jerry -- everything working fine on Windows 10 on a Haswell chip machine -- but FYI i noticed that column rendering totals in my Windows 10 virtual machine on VMWare reader (via older vista type puter under Linux) are correct but misplaced in the wrong columns. Know you do not support that, but thought interesting - maybe due to your SSL changes - i have no idea. . FYI - Ur old QT still renders correctly on the Win 10 virtual machine.Thanks again for your great work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
