This update focuses on enhancing the functionality and reliability of data exchange between clients and servers through the introduction of new data types and communication protocols.

A critical component of this update is the Share Data Type, which is designed to streamline the handling and representation of share-related information within the system. This data type encapsulates various attributes of shares, making it easier for both the client and server sides of an application to process and manage share transactions efficiently. The detailed specification of the Share Data Type can be found here.

To facilitate effective communication between clients and servers, two new messages have been defined: GetShares (Client -> Server) and GetSharesSuccess (Server -> Client). The GetShares message allows clients to request share information from the server. Upon receiving a GetShares request, the server processes this request and responds with a GetSharesSuccess message, which contains the requested share data. These messages ensure a standardized method for requesting and retrieving share information, thereby improving the efficiency of network communications within share accounting systems. The specifications for these messages are detailed in their respective documentation, accessible via the following links: GetShares message and GetSharesSuccess message.

This update marks a significant advancement in the domain of share accounting systems, offering improved data handling capabilities and more efficient client-server interactions. Through the adoption of these new standards, developers can enhance the scalability, performance, and user experience of their applications.
