After reading Xaphod post about the planned changes to MT4 I thought to open a thread for it.

Russian MT4 forum: There is no download at the moment (20131206 Xaphod mentioned in his reply). Upgrade a current version to the beta
see post:
Disliked{quote} You are welcome! Build 509 is the latest build and it will probably be for many months more. Metaquotes decided to upgrade MT4 to use a modified version of mql5 which is used in MT5. It seems they underestimated the time it would take to develop the new version by at least an order of magnitude. They have been releasing what they call 'beta' versions on their russian forum. However the releases are more like alpha versions so it is likely to be many months more before they have anything that is production ready. The next version is supposed to run old executable files, however they have made some changes to the mql4 language that will require a lot of the current source code to be modified if it is to be compiled with the new version. Why they don't just include a compiler for mql4 in addition to the new mql5 compiler is beyond comprehension.Ignored
