We have updated the home-page stock widget to include a vast number of statistics, both provided by the exchange and calculated by Zoonova (e.g., β).

It was discovered that the "On-The-Fly" (OTF) currency conversion was not working properly. Although this affected the user experience, it had no bearing on pricing or management-related operations. This appears to be corrected, or will be subsequently corrected without further notice.

It was discovered that after the recent application update, the Rate Risk feature of Bonds generated a server error 500 which potentially crippled all Bond Modules and Dashboard containing bonds. This appears to be corrected.

Mean-Variance Optimization) to assemble a portfolio with a given minimum risk. New fields include the Sharpe Ratio for a stock portfolio.

Zoonova® was selected as an official finalist for the 2016 Benzinga Fintech Awards: A competition to showcase the companies with the most impressive technology, who are paving the future in financial services and capital markets.

ORATS, our option datafeed provider, encountered a network issue on the night of 29 Feb 2016 which affected certain datasets. This in turn called attention to an issue with our datafeed engine which prevented it from properly triggering updates in the GUI (i.e., daily rather than hourly). The latter has been corrected while we are working with the vender closely on the former.

Zoonova^® has added portfolios for fixed-floating and "basis" (floating-floating) swaps.

Zoonova^® has added a "basis" (floating-floating) swap calculator. Fixed-Floating and Basis Swap Portfolios are coming soon.

Zoonova^® has added a fixed-floating swap calculator to its collection of financial calculators. A Swap is an agreement between two parties (known as counterparties) where one stream of future interest payments is exchanged for another based on a specified principal amount.

Zoonova^® has added a user "chat" module to allow users to communicate with each other in real-time regarding this site, its tools or related content. It is an excellent platform to both ask and answer questions.

Zoonova^® updated its website, adding a new "Alternative Investement" module: This module supports multiple portfolios of multiple "trades" (a "trade" being any holding which can be monetized). In addition, several cosmetic changes have been made including the ability to view yield curve graphs in fixed income modules. Finally, data interfaces were redesigned to "self-heal", meaning that default data will be automatically created for users whose accounts are missing it: This should improve the user experience.

Zoonova^® updated its website technologies to include .NET 4.6, MVC 5, and EF 6: Consequently the site was off‑line for several hours.

In an attempt to help new registered users become familiar with our advanced tools in an intuitive and organic way, Zoonova^® has restructured its data layer to provide pre-configured trades and settings upon registration.

This morning it was discovered that not all portfolio modules'' "Save All" buttons were firing the associated event in response to user clicks. This has been remedied.

ZOONOVA^® now offers a combination of public and premium data from Quandl for the home page "ticker" and instrument/portfolio pricing.

MSN Money was added to the home page as an alternative to Google Finance and Quandl: use is currently limited to stock details.

A feature has been added allowing users to manage (create, update, delete) their own custom dashboard "views."

The SSL 3.0 security protocol has recently been shown to be vulnerable to a padding-oracle (a.k.a. "POODLE") attack (see arstechnica.com). For the security of our users, Zonova has discontinued use of SSL 3.0 (in favor of TLS) and recommends they update their browsers as necessary.

A "Dashboard" feature has been added to this site. The Portfolio Dashboard is a uniform view for selected deals across a user''s portfolio and offers both a view and calculation aspect.

A "Portfolio of Portfolios" (POP) feature has been added to this site. This feature allows users to create and manage multiple portfolios of trades within each portfolio-type module. As a result of this addition, all default portfolios have been named "My Portfolio" and can be renamed within the appropriate editor.

The Quandl data platform was added to the home page as an alternative to Google Finance.

Modules affected: All bond/note calculators and portfolios. The curve selection for bond deals was not being retrieved correctly on initial load and so defaulted to the first available. This issue has been fixed and we apologize for the inconvenience.

On Saturday, 29 Apr 2014, it was discovered that new users were not able to register accounts. The problem is believed to be related to the use of Google reCAPTCHA. CAPTCHA ("Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart") attempts to prevent abuse via "automated" registration. In addition, users also complained of difficulty in reading the visual cues. Therefore a new algebraic CAPTCHA has been implemented to address both these issues.

Modules affected: Fixed-rate bond portfolio, callable/puttable bond portfolio, floating-rate note portfolio. The flags (checkboxes) for viewing the Floating and Discount curves (and, consequently, the visibility of the curves) incorrectly changed during calculation. This issue has been fixed.

The following changes/enhancements have been made to this site:

1. Added the "Announcements" menu item
2. Moved portfolio-based calculators into a separate branch
3. Added Callable/Puttable Bond portfolio
4. Added Floating-Rate Note portfolio
5. Added Money Market portfolio
6. The Money Market interface was redesigned to be more intuitive

It was discovered that IIS was serving users the internal test site rather than the production site. This caused the charts to appear sparse and may have prevented new users from registering. This issue has been fixed and we apologize for the inconvenience.
