OpenQuant 2.5.0 (.NET 3.5) is released

There are two major changes in the version 2.5.0:


1. .NET 3.5 framework is required to run OpenQuant.


2. All application data, such as databases(instruments, orders, ticks, etc), projects, scripts, settings, etc
is stored in application data folder, instead of installation directory.
This change makes the software fully compitible with Windows Vista UAC mechanism and allows to run OpenQuant
under non-administrative user account on all Windows systems.


Note. Setup program will not transfer your application data automatically.
The easiest way to migrate from the previous versions of OQ to version 2.5.0 is:

1. Uninstall previous version of OQ.


2. Copy all remaining files and directories(your databases, settings, etc) from the installation directory to the new application data folder
(\SmartQuant Ltd\OpenQuant 2).
Usually, is C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data on Windows XP
and C:\Users\\AppData on Windows Vista.
If you don't know where is such directory, run 'echo %APPDATA%' in the command prompt.


3. Install OQ version 2.5.0
