+# vn.ib
+
+`vn.ib` is still under developing, encapsulation is partially done, further
+contributions are warmly welcome : )
+
+### Introduction
+
+`vn.ib` is a Python encapsulation of IB POSIX C++ API with full functionality of
+the original C++ API. The name of functions and classes is consistent with original
+C++ API.
+
+### Difference between vn.py and IbPy
+
+1. `vn.ib` is a Python encapsulation of POSIX C++ API based on Boost.Python, which
+provides higher efficiency than IbPy.
+2. `vn.ib` integrates exception handling function inside the encapsulation, which
+avoids the disconnection to the IB server when exception is triggered.
+3. `vn.ib` needs to be compiled before calling (by default, .pyd file is compiled
+under Windows 7 32bit environment), while IbPy is a pure Python library.
+4. `vn.ib` is based on 9.72 beta API, while IbPy is based on old 9.70 stable API.
+
+### Changes from original API
+
+Object comparison functions are added into `shared_ptr.h` and `SoftDollerTier.h`
+in order to automaticall encapsulate `vector` object to Python.
+
+### Linux version
+
+Currently, revision is needed to deploy `vn.ib` in Linux environment:
+
+1. Object comparison functions are added into `shared_ptr.h` and `SoftDollerTier.h`
+in order to automaticall encapsulate `vector` object to Python.
+2. `EReader.cpp`: EReader::bufferedRead, change `min` to `std::min` (No revision
+needed in Windows environment)
+3. `EClient.cpp`: Add `EncodeField<const char*>` in order to partially characterize
+`EncodeField<T>` (If you use GCC to compile, you need to do this, otherwise you
+will get `underfined symbol` error. MSVC is free from the error).
+
+We suspect that IB development team is developing and testing the API under Windows
+environment, here is the compiling process:
+
+1. cd `vn.ib/ibapi/linux`, run `bash build.sh` to generate twsapi.so
+2. cd `vn.ib/`, run `bash build.sh` to generate vnib.so
+
+### API version
+
+Version: IB API for Windows beta 9.72.18
