FIXEdge 7.1.0 Release Notes

FIXEdge 7.1.0 is released on Mar 27, 2026 .

Breaking changes

• Java adapters logging configuration was switched form to log4j.propertiesto log4j2.xml.  Please update and migrate your logging settings accordingly, if any.

New Features and Improvements

• HA cluster compatibility. Postponed FIXEdge C++ initialization.

  • Added ability to start FIXEdge C++ in so called Warm mode, when FIXEdge process is started but core services are not running yet. Please see the documentation for details.

• Messages flow improvement.

  • FIXMLMapping Handler is a FIXEdge plugin that performs the following functions:

    • Converts any FIX message to FIXML and stores it to XML message (MsgType = n) or any other message type of the user's choice.

    • Converts any FIXML message contained in XML message (MsgType = n) or any other message type back to FIX message.

    Please refer to the FIXMLMapping Handler page for more details.

• Messages flow improvement.

  • FIX sessions can check and reject messages if the SendingTime delta greater than the specified limit. See the documentation for details.

• FIXICC H2 communication security improvement.

  • FIXEdge supports OAuth2 bearer token to secure communication channel between FIXEdge and FIXICC H2. See the documentation for details.

• Configuration flexibility improvement.

  • A new configuration parameter IncludeOptionalProperties is added. This parameter allows conditional (if exists) loading additional property files. See the documentation for details.

• IBM MQ adapter improvement.

  • Added an ability to strictly preserve messages putting order. By default the adapter puts messages asynchronously not waiting for the confirmation of the delivery. See the adapter documentation for details.

Other Changes

• This version of FIXEdge C++ includes updated versions of Camel TA, AMQP TA, and JMS TA with security vulnerability fixes.

• Updated Java version to 17 (Java 17 is required to run AMQP TA and JMS TA)

• Upgraded all libraries, JARs, and dependencies to the latest, secure and vulnerability-free versions (to the date of the release).

• Migrated from javax to Jakarta (as part of Java 17 migration); connection to TIBCO EMS via JMS now requires a TIBCO version with Jakarta support (typically EMS 10.2 and above). The adapter must now use the jakarta.jms-tibjms.jar provided with the installed TIBCO EMS version, instead of tibjms.jar.

• Switched logging configuration to log4j2.xml (replacing the previously used log4j.properties). Please update and migrate your logging level settings accordingly.

• Included activemq-client-6.1.8.jar in the package for JMS ActiveMQ connectivity.

Fixed Bugs

• Fixed the issue when FIXEdge C++ can erroneously report an error about FIX session protocol misconfiguration in rare cases.

• JAVA_HOME is passed to FIXEdge when starting through fixicc-agent now.

• Fixed the issue when FIXEdge C++ was not reporting Universal TA adapter sessions status to FIXICC H2.

• Fixed the issue when multiple Java adapters could not simultaneously run in a single FIXEdge C++ instance with appropriate JVM settings.

• Fixed FIXEdge C++ startup scripts to have correct order of setting environment variables when launching FIXEdge C++ process.

• Fixed incorrect local Time Zone name reporting by File logger on Linux platforms.

• Fixed the issue when FIXEdge C++ handled necessary tags absence incorrectly in some cases.

FIXEdge 6.18.1 Release Notes

FIXEdge 6.18.1 is released on May 23, 2025 

New Features and Improvements

• Added .deb package for Ubuntu 22.04 platform.

FIXEdge 6.18.0 Release Notes

FIXEdge 6.18.0 is released on Feb 7, 2025 

New Features and Improvements

• The Inter-Process Communication (IPC) Handler for FIXEdge C++ has been launched to extend Business Layer functionality. It allows the expression of business rules in Python, Node JS, Java, or rules engines via inter-process communication channels. It uses Unix Sockets and Named Pipes for reliable cross-platform connectivity. Designed for two-way data exchange using JSON data format, it supports dynamic interaction between FIXEdge and an external application/rules engine.

• The File Transport Adapter (File TA) has been introduced to convert FIX messages into CSV files for enhanced data accessibility. It supports the generic mapping of tags to comma-delimited fields, including processing repeating groups. It also supports complex processing of repeating groups into one or many CSV records. Optionally, this component can be configured to sort the FIX messages based on specific criteria such as timestamp, message type, or any other relevant header or data fields within the messages. This sorting functionality aids in organized data analysis and reporting.

• The Direct Database API (DDBAPI) has been enhanced to include extra query parameters for detailed SQL query control. It supports MARS query result mode, allowing effective management of multiple result sets. JavaScript to SQL data type mapping ensures integrity during data conversions.

• A new heartbeat mechanism for FIXEdge C++ and FIXICC H2 has been introduced to maintain a continuous connection between FIXEdge C++ and FIXICC H2, preventing silent drops. To minimize downtime, it incorporates Server-Sent Events (SSE) connections with customizable heartbeat intervals and automatic reconnections.

• The capability for explicitly setting the 1128-ApplVerID tag in outgoing messages ensures compatibility across different application versions. Improved error management provides detailed exceptions for unsupported versions.

• A new FIXEdge C++ package built with JRE 11 enhances performance and security. The package's reduced size lowers storage costs and speeds up installation. Please refer to the FIXEdge 6.18.0 Migration Guide for comprehensive information on the update process.

• FIXICC and FIXICC Agent have been removed from the FIXEdge package, simplifying the deployment process by making them available as standalone products with integrated JRE 8.

Fixed Bugs

• A fix has been implemented in the JSONMappingHandler to ensure accurate inclusion of the 52-SendingTime tag when converting a FIX message.

• SSL error logging has been enhanced to provide detailed information, facilitating quicker identification and resolution of configuration issues.

FIXEdge 6.17.1 Release Notes

FIXEdge 6.17.1 is released on Aug 30, 2024 

New Features and Improvements

• The REST Initiator Transport Adapter (TA) now includes the "Content-Type" header for outgoing HTTP messages. This enables better interoperability with external systems by specifying the format of the message body, such as JSON or plain text.

• Upon detecting specific IBM MQ response codes (2202, 2203, 2162, 2521), the FIXEdge IBMMQ TA will now temporarily disconnect and automatically reconnect, minimizing disruptions and ensuring smoother operations. 

• This release enhances the FIXEdge Universal TA by improving the logging granularity. Low-level debugging messages related to getMonitoringParameters()and send() operations are now logged at the TRACE level, reducing log noise and making it easier to focus on critical information.

• In FIXEdge Universal TA, the log category naming convention for JNI_WRAPPER is updated to replace the space character as a separator with a dot, making it easier to parse and analyze log messages(e.g., "JNI_WRAPPER TransportLayer.CamelTA" will now become "JNI_WRAPPER.CamelTA" ).

Fixed Bugs

• This release prevents server crashes that occurred when multiple sessions were scheduled for frequent reconnection.

• Fixed a deadlock that may happen if multiple sessions are updated at the same time.

FIXEdge 6.17.0 Release Notes

FIXEdge 6.17.0 is released on Jul 25, 2024

• Introduced new SourceIPAddress REST Acceptor TA parameter providing the ability to filter IP addresses on the REST Acceptor TA.

• FIXEdge can now find records in the CME Keys file by either Session ID or SenderCompID.

• This release introduces the setSessionSeqNums() function, which simplifies sequence number management during CME failover events.

Fixed Bugs

• This release addresses an issue where setting sequence numbers using FIXICC impacted subsequent session startup.

FIXEdge 6.16.1 Release Notes

FIXEdge 6.16.1 is released on Apr 12, 2024 

New Features and Improvements
