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
3. 

Actual Results:  
"Bad date" errors.

Expected Results:  
Succesful data retrieval.
