MetaQuotes will release an update to the MetaTrader 5 (MT5) platform tomorrow (Friday). Accroding to the firm, it will introduce multiple fixes and improvements for traders and developers.

The release follows a recent disruption in China, where MetaTrader 4 and 5 servers experienced prolonged connectivity issues. Reported in May 2025, the outage raised concerns among brokers and traders operating in the region, as access to the platforms was restricted for several days. However, the latest update does not directly address infrastructure or access matters.
