Re: Finance::Quote Update
Hi Gregor,
version 1.50rc2 is tagged, it fixes the issue you pointed to
https://github.com/finance-quote/finance-quote/issues/173
and the one I reported upstream
https://github.com/finance-quote/finance-quote/issues/179
If you find some time, can you upload it to experimental, then I would test
drive it?
Thanks
Rainer
