Description Gustavo Michels 2007-05-22 14:55:28 UTC
Yahoo changed its data format so it's no longer possible to download quotes from their sites using Qtstalker. [1]

The fixed code is already in their CVS, but until they release a new version, there's a patch [2] available for the current released version (0.33). Tried it here and it worked fine.

Please add the patch to the ebuild.

2. Try to download data from Yahoo

Actual Results:  
"Bad date" errors.

Expected Results:  
Succesful data retrieval.

should be fixed in 0.35.
