Yes, the iCash Currency Manager updating system is broken. I confirm, after about a decade without a single issue, it has stopped working. The data provider used by iCash, Yahoo!, has discontinued the service.

I wrote a post about that, it is available here: iCash Currency Manager updating system is broken.

I am already working on a fix. Actually it is more than a fix, all the system has to be rewritten. We have decided to use CurrencyLayer as the new data provider. iCash will use a system we have developed last week running on maxprog.com that will provide this service with a caching and error recovery system. We just finished the testing phase. Now we have to update iCash to use it.

stanbusk, you said: We just finished the testing phase. Now we have to update iCash to use it.

When roughly will this update be released?

On that page you have the version with the fix that we posted after the testing phase.
