Dr. Friedman-Hill:
Do I need to uninstall Jess 4.1 before downloading 4.2?
On another matter: Why don't you have a bulletin board for Q&A about Jess
on your website instead of doing everything via e-mail? Given the large
number of messages going back and forth, this would seem justified. In
addition, it would be easier to retrieve old information if questions and
answers were stored (and perhaps categorized by topic) in a data base.
Regards,
Genevieve

> Hi Folks,

> Jess 4.2 is now available for download in the usual place:
>
> http://herzberg.ca.sandia.gov/jess/download.html
>
> 4.2 has no new features, but fixes a couple of long-standing bugs and
> generally improves quality. Here's the README blurb:
>
> Fixed 'Corrupted negcnt' bug (thanks to Todd Bowers). (if ...
> then)
> function now throws an exception if atom 'then' is missing.
> Version
> string in 4.1 final was inadvertently left at 4.1b6. Added section
> to
> README explaining rule LHS semantics a bit better.
> Rete.findFactByID()
> is now public. Fix for very tricky 'phantom fact' problem reported
> by
> Steve Bucuvalas. Java method calls on Jess Strings now work for
> all
> Strings, not just alphanumeric ones. "animals" example modified to
> work with transitional gensym implementation.
>
> Jess 4.2 is still Java 1.0 compatible (still gives 'deprecated'
> warnings on compilation.) I should send out the first 5.0 alpha
> release sometime next week, and this one, as I said before, is 1.1+
> only (no warnings). I know there are people whose managers care about
> this stuff!
>
> Feedback, as usual, is welcome. Have fun!
