Today ast-0.2.6 was released. The alerts feature was signficantly updated for 0.2.6. The alerts are now rendered (optionally) in HTML and contain much more information. There are 3 new alerts; Portfolio Summary, Report Summary and Stock Screener. The portfolio summay alert shows you how your portfolio did for the day and any news that was released. The reports alert just gives you the same information as if you went to the reports section in AST, but it comes in your inbox. The stock screener alert automatically runs a saved screen for you every day and emails you the results.
This release also corrects for a change in Yahoo's data format. Previous versions of AST no longer work with Yahoo Finance. You must upgrade to this version if you use Yahoo Finance. |

Today I released version 0.2.5 of AST. There were many bugs fixed in this release as well as some neat new features. Among them are:
1. You can now plot your portfolio on the charts and comparison. This is a neat feature allowing you to compare your historical performance vs. an index or security. This plot uses your current holdings and does factor in transactions. The reason for this decision is because you will see discontinuities in the chart if you add or remove capital.
2. All of the symbol entry forms have an Ajax suggester. When typing a symbol name you will see a list of symbols in AST's database that start with what you typed.
3. Even more markets are now supported, including all German markets. You can now enter ISIN numbers into AST, but they are translated into Symbol / Market. Once I get a database of ISIN numbers AST will fully support storage of ISIN numbers.
4. I have added a new command line quote fetcher, called afetch. It allows you to query AST's quote database from the command line, for use in other applications, website or maybe importing into a spreadsheet for analysis. It is built by default, to use it do:
./afetch --type daily --symbols X.TO
07/01/16|47.64|46.93|47.51|47.30|481300|47.51
...
You can type afetch --help for more information on how to use it. AST has an efficient caching system in which it only fetches data when its needed. This makes afetch very fast for repetitive queries such as those on websites.
5. I've found a new tool called po4a which should make translation easier. It can translate the HTML files with a standard gettext po file, so the work required to translate those should greatly decrease.
6. I have now included an x86_64 binary file in the release. Also the name of the files has changed to conform to standards.
I hope you enjoy this release. If you have any problems installing or upgrading your system, please feel free to contact me or the mailing list of assistance.
