Re: FIX/Fast 2.0 coming in April?

25 Jan 2010 8:15PM ETI looked at the document - this is just a case of confusing documentation and a bit of unfortunate document titling.
This is "CME FIX/FAST 2.0" which I believe is based upon FIX/FAST 1.1 features (the documentation doesn't say) would be nice if someone from CME could post a clarification.
It would be nice to know which versions of FIX/FAST were used to create CME's CME FIX/FAST 1.6 and CME FIX/FAST 2.0.
For the record there is no FIX/FAST 2.0 in the plans as Rolf and other's stated. There isn't even a FIX/FAST 1.6 which is a good indicator something was amiss.
And Rolf correct me if I am wrong - we don't have any enhancements being worked on at this time within the working group.
The Market Data Optimization Working Group that oversees FAST is open for participation by any FIX member. We encourage you to participate and contribute.
The FIX/FAST specification is open to anyone to use of course, regardless if you are a member of FIX or not.
