[ts-ann] trading-shim 061006 announced

[R P Herrold]

Summary of Changes:

Last week's release provoked a couple of new subscriptions to 
the mailing lists.  We hope that subscribers are setting up 
and using trial instances, as the process is fully covered in 
the FAQ at the website, as to the issues we deem to be 
'tricky.' Questions in this regard, on or off the mailing 
lists are of course welcome.

The following features are present:

Market Data subscriptions	Fully functional
   (tickstream)

History retrieval		Functional, but with a caveat
 				against 'swamping' the
 				upstream

Order management		In process

Indeed, today's notice, as to the shim-061006 release, reflect 
that we have made various internal changes on the way to 
[implementation of] orders in the shim.  Previously, the order 
management code was noted in the April 10 2006 initial release 
thus:

     * orders have been blocked out, until more design and
       implementation work is completed

That is, the code path was 'blocked out' in the sense of 
disabled in the previously released codebase.  We are on the 
'design and implementation' road to restoring that function.

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