I am using R with Interactive Brokers TWS version 916.5. The TWS software has been warning me that I need to upgrade as my version is going off support or will no longer be supported. Since this is my first upgrade of TWS since I started using R with TWS I thought I would ask if there were any issues with any of the latest version of TWS and the API. And if so, is there a specific version of TWS & the API that I should stick with? I figured it made sense to check the support lists - both archive and email - before I upgrade.

Interactive Brokers Compatibility

In general the releases of IBrokers are always in step with the most recent production version of the API. That is, not the beta, though some features may be supported from the beta from time to time. Not always released in lock step though. Of course, being OSS software you can general patch any differences that may arise. They official API moves at a glacial pace these days, so a real problem is rare. Often it is only improvements that come from the new releases. If you do have patches, just send them to me and I'll see what I can do about including in an upcoming release. HTH Jeff
