Performance, already one of Caplin Trader's strong points, has been further improved with the introduction of a thread scheduler and a JavaScript pre-processor, while systems integrators will be pleased to learn that the new directory structure has been designed to support multiple parallel development streams and to facilitate easier upgrading to new versions.
UX improvements include expandable grids and column re-sizing and dragging.
