MetaQuotes has released a new update for MetaTrader 4 platform today. The build 810 updates a lot of various aspects of the platform, mostly bringing it back on track with the latest improvements in MT5. Moreover, it also adds some new features that are not yet in MT5 and will appear there only next week.
The most important news is that support for the MetaTrader 4 Builds earlier than 745 will be discontinued on May 22 (in one week). So, it is really time to update if you have not done so yet.
The list of notable changes in build 810 include:
Build 810 should be available via auto-update service of MetaQuotes demo server. It will be in a beta testing period on demo servers for some time before brokers will update it on live accounts. A full list of changes is available on the MetaQuotes forum.
