SUMMARY
- Stock ticker application for North American and European
exchanges - Displays portfolio profit or loss for foreign and domestic
stocks - Firewall and proxy configuration possible for several common
settings - Fully configurable Perl/Tk program runs under Linux and some
other OS using the Perl from ActiveState (www.activestate.com) - Released under the GNU General Public License
CHANGES SINCE 0.6.0
- Added support for simple proxy firewalls via –proxy http://1.2.3.4:80
- Added support for account+password firewalls: info can be
specified via cmd-line args or in a new “account / password”
window - Added test for previous_close != 0 to avoid potential division
by zero - Replaced destroy() with withdraw() for closing windows, seems
to avoid triggering a segfault error which is presumably inside
perl/tk - Renamed option variables for clarity (yeah right)
- Added LNUX to default portfolio
CHANGES SINCE 0.5.2.
- Allow for additional specification of number of shares held as
well as the (ISO) cross-currency pair to map into domestic
monies - Use this info to display net portfolio gain or loss in window
title - Additional option –wide, and menu selector, for `wide’ display
with per share gain or loss and total holdings - menus now have underlined shortcuts for ALT-x
- more code cleanup
