Starting from yesterday, when I tried to build and run backtest with my previous coce, the code editor complains that "the type or namespace 'Drawing' doesn't exist in the namespace 'System' (are you missing an assembly reference)?"Previously my code uses System.Drawing.Color. Now this class is not accessible. Is that due to a recent update of QuantConnect/Lean such that System.Drawing is no longer available?

I also feel like (or highly suspect) that something of QuantConnect has been updated or changed in the past recent days, maybe historical data (not supposed to be changed)? Or maybe default commision model (shouldn't have changed since I have been using InteractiveBrokersBrokerage) or default slippage model?
I ran some backtest today with the code snapshots of some previously saved backtest. Nothing in my code has changed, but the results are very differnt from the saved ones.

Hi Guanting! Sounds like you're not using the same version of LEAN. In the left column there's a LEAN Engine button -- this lets you select which version of LEAN you're using. I think the System.Drawing update was v300, we're at 430 on master now.
The default is to select the last tagged version (v173) which is quite old now. We'll probably release another tagged version soon since there have been so many updates.
This system is called a continuous integration environment -- as soon as we release something on Github, its available within 10 minutes on QuantConnect.com.
