- Fixed display of the Signals window in Wine.
- Updated MT5 installers for Linux and macOS.
- Added links to specific Linux and macOS version downloads to the Help menu.

- Added ENUM_AVERAGE_MODE and ENUM_CLASSIFICATION_METRIC enumerations to the matrix and vector methods supported by MQL5.

- Fixed the order of MathAtan2() function's parameters to match that in C++.
- Added a new property to the ENUM_TERMINAL_INFO_STRING enumeration - TERMINAL_CPU_ARCHITECTURE. It contains information about CPU instruction sets. A __CPU_ARCHITECTURE__ macro is also available for the same purpose.
- Changed how the
externmodifier works when declaring variables. It now serves to pre-declare variables. - Updated ALGLIB library to version 3.19.
- Fixed a compilation error that could sometimes freeze MetaEditor.
