Summary:

To further enhance its trading infrastructure, Eurex Repo is planning to launch F7 release 4.1.

The Eurex Repo F7 simulation environment will be updated to version F7 release 4.1 on March 7th 2024 at noon CET.

Eurex Repo will conduct internal tests on March 8th, 2024 and the Simulation period will start Monday, March 11th, 2024 with v004.130.000.

Release 4.1 is an internal upgrade focusing primarily on technical infrastructure and security. There are only minor F7 GUI enhancements and no changes to the F7 API or the F7 FIX Gateway or the F7 MTX that affect F7 customers. 

It is strongly recommended that F7 customers perform a regression test during the planned simulation period.

F7 GUI
Release 4.1 includes only minor enhancements to the F7 Trading GUI: 

• Margin Calculator Export for trades now supports the exporting of fixed, variable and open repo trades. The exported file format is compatible with the CPME import format.
• Unilateral CutOff Time column available on the Product screen is now displayed in user’s local time, fixing the known limitation from release 4.0 displaying always in CET.

F7 API
Release 4.1 has no changes to the F7 API that affect API customers. All F7 API documentation and XSDs for release 4.0 remains valid.

With release 4.1, the only acceptable version number remains as 4.0

F7 FIX Gateway
Release 4.1 has no changes to the F7 FIX Gateway that affect F7 customers.

All F7 FIX Gateway documentation and FIX44.XML for release 4.0 remains valid.

F7 MTX
Release 4.1 has no changes to the F7 MTX that affect F7 customers.

All MTX documentation for release 4.0 remains valid.

F7 GUI users are strongly recommended to clear the browser cache after the release introduction, to ensure that the newly introduced GUI enhancements behave correctly.

Details are described in the "F7_4.1_ReleaseNotes_v1" which has been published in the Eurex Repo member section.
