[ts-ann] slipstream shim-060607 released

[R P Herrold]

date: Thu June  8 2006

We have pushed 
ftp://ftp.trading-shim.org/pub/local/trading-shim/shim-060607.tgz 
as it has been a couple weeks since the last release.  It 
received testing after today's New York close, and seems to be 
without loss of functionality.

It passed all of my command language testing without incident, 
but as it has not yet been tested against the live market, we 
slipstream it.

As before, I (Russ) am running the shim against tws version 
857 -- We have several bugs open with IB's TAC on nuisance 
bugs as to charting issues, and data feed drops, and are 
promised a release of a new standalone unix .jar set next 
week.  I have basically written off 858, due to its mangled 
storage and retrieval of the charting XML customizations which 
I use.

Bill has also been revisiting moving from binary format, to 
'cooked' ascii text format test datastreams, for simplifying 
test harness and development setup, more in the Unix pipeline 
model.

Thank you for your interest; we welcome feedback and comment.
