In response to customer demand, Gissing has been publishing and circulating release notes for each new release of Gissing ConteX MCS. However availability of completely new handlers has tended to be obscured by all the other information about enhancements and improvements. In order to ensure that everyone knows about the new handlers they are listed here:

SSLO	Reuters Triarch SSL Output handler - Provides an SSL Source
MTRF	MTS Repo Trade Capture handler - Provides support for the MTS Trade Impact platform
RTRO	Reuters RMDS Output handler
MLIO	Reuters MLIP 1.5 Output handler
MLII	Reuters MLIP 1.5 Input handler

iBoxx Connectivity

The iBoxx USD Bond Indices was launched by the International Index Company Limited (IIC) in June 2005.

We've had several clients asking whether Gissing ConteX MCS can support iBoxx, and the answer is yes - one of our clients is doing this already.

iBoxx uses SSL as the transport protocol, so using Gissing ConteX MCS to connect to iBoxx is relatively straightforward. An appropriate pair of input and output handlers for your market data platform is required to connect Gissing ConteX to your system, and a pair of SSL input and output handlers is required for contributing to, and receiving aggregated data back from, iBoxx.
