2.0.9 release

This version is the first to use https://iextrading.com/ as suggested by a commenter on this blog. Much faster, and real-time capable, truly free source. Hope they keep their service up and free for long.

Please note: Data provided for free by IEX. View IEX’s Terms of Use.
Additionally, from API doc of IEX:

To provide the best experience for all our users, we monitor for suspicious activity and overload. We reserve the right to revoke access to anyone who abuses the IEX API. We throttle endpoints by IP, but you should be able to achieve over 100 requests per second

Free-Stocks-Ticker has for a long time throttled and limited access to rapid refresh due to potential issues with data source.

Cheers!
