Hello I don't see any release since 2014 while there has been quite a few commit, is there going to be a new release that could be used for a Linux package for example? Thanks

The last released twsapi-0.6.0 complies with IB API version 9.69 (Sep 2013) but still works well. That's why I was lazy last years ;) But actually I've just started a few days ago to bring things forward again.

So far I have finished the 9.71 (Nov 2014) import already in git master, so I could release a 0.7.0 right now. Though 9.71 is still quite old and I'm working currently on importing 9.73 which is a bit painful and incompatible.

So I wonder if I should release 0.7.0 with old 9.71 right now or make a bigger jump to 9.73 a bit later!? Are you using this twsapi for developing your own C++ programs or have you only used it to build 'twstools'? For twstools it wouldn't have much benefit to update to API 9.71.

Thanks for your answer, at the moment I am only exploring what are the different API options to see what I am going to use and I will probably maintain the Arch Linux package.
