New version for customers in New Zealand - Update: API changes now cancelled by Betfair

[Bet Angel]

We have new versions of Bet Angel Professional (v1.61.1) and Bet Angel Trader (v1.4.7) for customers in New Zealand following this recent announcement from betfair:

"From Monday 12th February, due to regulatory reasons, all customers who have their Betfair account registered in New Zealand will no longer be able to make API requests to the existing ‘betfair.com’ domain. Any requests will be automatically blocked by IP based restrictions."

The new versions of Bet Angel have an extra 'Betfair Account Region' picklist in the Additional Configuration section.

********************************************************************************************************************************************
Update 8th February - Betfair have now cancelled these planned restrictions for the foreseeable future.
New Zealand customers can continue to use the previous version of Bet Angel or can login using the default
'International' region in this version of Bet Angel.
********************************************************************************************************************************************

The software is available on the download page.

Customers in all other countries can leave the region set to the default value of 'International' or, if they prefer, can stay with their existing installation of Bet Angel Professional / Trader.

Doesn't affect me, but nonetheless, big well done for getting the new version out so quickly. I know Betfair didn't give you guys much notice on this one!
