FIX Antenna C++/.NET 2.26.0 Release: Introduced new logging system backend Log4cplus and SSL support changes

B2BITS, EPAM Systems company is pleased to announce the release of version 2.26.0 of FIX Antenna C++/.NET.

New version includes the following new features and improvements:

  • Log4cplus introduced as logging system backend for writing logs to a log collector via TCP (See Log4Cplus Usage for details)
  • The new naming scheme specifies the target OS and target C++ ABI
    C++ 98 ABI builds are compatible with GCC 4.4 - 4.9 and above and C++98, 11 modes, C++11 ABI builds are compatible with GCC 5.1 and above and C++98/11/14/17 modes. (See  How to build your application with FIXAntenna C++ on Linux for more information)
  • Updated iLink FIX dictionary for CME 
    • Added NumOrdersInMatchStep(9700) tag
    • Added repeating group for Fill Reason

SSL support changes:

  • FIX Session configuring API improved to support loading SSL certificates of types : pfx files, .pem encoded files, .der - binary encoded files in ASN1 standard. SSL certificates with and without passwords are supported
  • API was extended with the class SSLContextConfigurator for getting certificates and passwords from the user
  • API was extended with SSLContextConfiguratorConverter interface to serialize/deserialize class SSLContextConfigurator to/from string. If user uses custom SSLContextConfiguratorimplementation, user should implement SSLContextConfiguratorConverter in order to avoid information loss
  • SSLRequireClientCertificate property was replaced by  SSLValidatePeerCertificate
  • Settings SSL, SSLCertificatePassword  and SSLPrivateKeyPassword  were introduced
  • SSLCheckPrivateKey property was removed. Correspondence between the key and certificate will be checked automatically. FIX Antenna does not establish session if the key doesn't correspond to the certificate
