V 20.2.1 ON 20240315
- Added the feature of placing a order type of Market On Open (MOO)

V 20.0.1 ON 20231129
- To solve the issue of “AttributeError: ‘DatetimeIndex’ object has no attribute ‘union_many’.”, we have decided to deprecate the old market calendar system. The new calendar system only supports NYSE but the users can create their own market calendar easily. The root cause of the issue is that the latest version of pandas does not support union_many anymore. As the result of V 20.0.1, the user can use any version of pandas.
