I've rewritten the stock valuation/pricing code. I've implemented a P/E calculation to replace our broken EV system. Which should result in better and more realistic stock price movement. On top of this, the new code should be much more quicker than the old one.
I've added the ability to see what shares AI companies are holding and who holds them. Likewise I have implemented a way for you to see who holds shares of your company.
The stock details main view has also been rewritten. Detailed reports will be added with the new report system in v1.21.
The player stock holdings has also been redesigned. You can now adjust dividend rates of subsidiary companies which you own controlling interest in from this screen.
I've also fixed a bug with AI bankruptcy which resulted in them losing all their factories and branches and not having the funds to rebuild them.
And so to answer the 50% of questions I had over the last week. The next version of Testing (1.19.3) will be out the first week of May.
Since the natives are getting restless, I have decided to split the remaining features for the stock system to 1.19.4. Leaving 1.19.3 as the bare minimum stuff I have planned for the stock system. Tickets planned for 1.19.4/1.20 (including all submitted bugs tickets) will be pushed back to 1.20.05 and 1.20.1. This means that v1.20 should be out in Default build by the end of May. However it won't have all the features/bug fixes I wanted to release. I will try to work as many non-save game breaking fixes, such as the AI racing issues, into 1.20 as hot patches (which I have dubbed 1.20.05.) Likewise, save game breaking fixes/features will be pushed into 1.20.1 thus pushing the 1.21 series back an entire minor version.
Hopefully that clarifies thing. And hopefully you guys will enjoy why this release is taking so long!
