Where to see latest changes on the backend?

About a week ago, one of my algorithms was performing very well on the backtesting platform, but today, with the exact same code, I am getting a totally different result. I was wondering what changes had been made to the backtester within this week? It would be great if there is some documentation of the updates made..

Hello,

We haven't made any recent updates to the backtester so you should see the same results using the same code. Since you're seeing something different, lets take this offline so that we can debug and dig into what's going on. I"m going to email you and hopefully we'll get to the bottom of this soon!

Thanks,
Alisa
