ParseMessage panic: assignment to entry in nil map quickfix v0.6.0

I have some simple code to read a FIX message and I keep getting a ParseMessage Panic. I placed the byte array in comments so there aren't any rendering issues

package main

import (
    "bytes"
    "fmt"

    "github.com/quickfixgo/quickfix"
)

func main() {

    rawMsg := bytes.NewBufferString("8=FIX.4.29=10435=D34=249=TW52=20140515-19:49:56.65956=ISLD11=10021=140=154=155=TSLA60=00010101-00:00:00.00010=039")
    fmt.Println(rawMsg.Bytes())
//[56 61 70 73 88 46 52 46 50 1 57 61 49 48 52 1 51 53 61 68 1 51 52 61 50 1 52 57 61 84 87 1 53 50 61 50 48 49 52 48 53 49 53 45 49 57 58 52 57 58 53 54 46 54 53 57 1 53 54 61 73 83 76 68 1 49 49 61 49 48 48 1 50 49 61 49 1 52 48 61 49 1 53 52 61 49 1 53 53 61 84 83 76 65 1 54 48 61 48 48 48 49 48 49 48 49 45 48 48 58 48 48 58 48 48 46 48 48 48 1 49 48 61 48 51 57 1]

    var msg quickfix.Message
    err := quickfix.ParseMessage(&msg, rawMsg)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
    }
    fmt.Println("--", msg)
}

The error message is panic: assignment to entry in nil map

My go.mod looks like this


go 1.12

require (
    github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3 v1.13.0 // indirect
    github.com/quickfixgo/quickfix v0.6.0
    github.com/shopspring/decimal v0.0.0-20191009025716-f1972eb1d1f5 // indirect
    github.com/stretchr/testify v1.4.0
)

Looks like this is already fixed in a newer version by the lines below:

https://github.com/quickfixgo/quickfix/blob/76e000323336ea5dcc20385ea79bded291a258eb/message.go#L160-L162

Indeed, running the same test code against newest quickfix produces the output below:

I would suggest upgrading to a newer version.
