RangeScout 1.6.2

RangeScout 1.6.2 Release Notes

RangeScout 1.6.2 is the current Windows release from Dietrich AI Labs.

Major highlights

Smarter instrument search and identity

• Adds deterministic canonical instrument identity across Market, Research, discovery, and provider routing.
• Gives exact tickers precedence while improving ranked company-name search, punctuation normalization, historical aliases, and disambiguation.
• Expands supported security semantics across equities, funds, preferreds, ADRs, warrants, rights, units, ETNs, indices, partnerships, and related structures.
• Reconciles official discovery updates without casually destroying identity or listing history, and rejects incomplete official-source refreshes rather than treating them as removals.

Better market and provider routing

• Improves fused quote/history presentation, immediate Active Symbol transitions, and rejection of stale background results.
• Routes canonical instruments through provider-specific symbols and explicit capability checks across the broader catalog.
• Preserves the reserved visible-quote priority lane so slower history, Research, scanner, news, and logo work cannot starve the quote currently on screen.
• Shows unsupported, unavailable, cached, delayed, and offline states explicitly instead of fabricating a route or value.

Stronger Research and fundamentals

• Routes corporate issuers, funds, and other market instruments through appropriate Research paths.
• Improves preferred, partnership, LLC-unit, IFRS, US-GAAP, taxonomy, currency, and reporting-regime handling.
• Keeps legitimate missing or incomparable facts visible as unavailable or N/A.

SEC filing and fiscal-period accuracy

• Separates quarterly, year-to-date, annual, transition, and instant facts deterministically.
• Reconciles partial amendments/restatements per metric and stabilizes quarterly growth comparisons.
• Separates fiscal identity from calendar frames, treats fy + fp atomically, and uses frame-only fallback only when appropriate.
• Adds deterministic SEC best-alignment handling for off-calendar and 52/53-week reporters while continuing to reject wrong adjacent frames.

Reliability, persistence, and installer behavior

• Expands migrations and idempotent schema recovery while keeping reference seeding deterministic.
• Preserves notes, settings, local state, AppData, and exports through the supported lifecycle.
• Verifies the supported 1.6.1 → 1.6.2 upgrade path and confirms uninstall remains limited to RangeScout-owned install scope.
• Broadens regression and package-integrity coverage across discovery, routing, classification, Research, SEC periods, persistence, packaging, upgrade, and uninstall behavior.

RangeScout preserves its local-first workstation, system-tray operation, company/logo database, Live Trader, SEC fundamentals, scanner, alerts, watchlists, notes, exports, provider diagnostics, and secure user-supplied credential storage.
