implement the v100 handshake to properly check version of server and client

[ajanian]

Using the reference implementation at https://github.com/maxicus/ib-tws-api port the v100 handshake over. This will make the sending and receiving much safer throughout

Is there any plan or timeline for this? Need a cloud of V100 features (such PnL and singlePnL unrealizedPnL / realizedPnL).
Wondering if it is worth waiting, if I shall implement it and do a PR.

@mfrener it would be super awesome if you added a PR for it, thank you very much

V100 is implemented on ready for testing on https://github.com/stoqey/ib/tree/overhaul/port-ts branch (as well as some more new features, the branch now has a full API 9.76 / May 08 2019 implementation).

I will test it my own app, if you have apps that depend on this lib, pls try them with port-ts branch too to make sure everything still works. You need to change creation of IB object, see example on Welcome page - rest of the interface should be backward compatible, except a couple of functions signatures that where not in sync with official API - they have been change to be same).
PR to master will follow next 2-3 days, after I feel confident enough that nothing has been broken ;)

This great. I’ll try to check my apps tomorrow and give feedback

ok.. so if you use "supporting" objects such as Contract, Oder, Condition objects.. you actually need to change more code in the app. This is are real class objects now, so no more ib.contract.stock('AAPL'), but new Stock("APPL")
But we have an API doc now as well https://stoqey.github.io/ib-doc/ .. good test to see if you can figure how to port your app using it :D

@mfrener I think this should be closed?

Yes. V100Plus is now enabled by default on master.
(use IBApi.disableUseV100Plus() if you want to fallback to pre-V100 of any reason).
