The update fixes errors and improves the platform stability.

1. Changed MQL5 Storage operation protocol in MetaEditor
   
   To support shared projects, we have updated the protocol of operation with the MQL5 Storage. Therefore, you will need to perform a checkout of all data from the storage after the platform update. Data stored at the MQL5 Storage will not be lost or affected during the update. We recommend that you perform the Commit operation to send all local changes to the MQL5 Storage before updating.
   
   
2. Fixed errors and improved the platform stability.

MetaTrader 4 update will be released on November 9, 2018 in beta mode. The update fixes errors and improves the platform stability.

All traders are invited to join the new version test. To receive the update, connect to the MetaQuotes-Demo server located at demo.metaquotes.net:443. The update will be installed via the LiveUpdate system.

The release build of the MetaTrader 4 platform will be issued after the test.

A month ago, Microsoft released a major update of their operating system Windows 10 Creators Update (version 1703). After installing this update, some users were unable to run MQL4 programs in their terminals. This issue has been fixed in the new MetaTrader 4 platform build 1080. Now, Expert Advisors and indicators will run on charts correctly, while recompilation using the updated MetaEditor is not required.

In the new version, an error has been fixed connected with the restart of Expert Advisors on charts after switching timeframes. Now, Expert Advisors do not stop, and are correctly re-initialized.

The release of MetaTrader 4 platform is connected with the release of Windows 10 Insider Preview build 15007. Due to security updates in the new Windows 10 system version, MetaTrader 4 client terminals could occasionally fail to start.

Install the new platform version in order to prepare for the upcoming Windows 10 update.
