Hi Folks,
Well, the time has come. I'm extremely pleased to announce the
availability of Jess 5.0a5 at the usual place
http://herzberg.ca.sandia.gov/jess/ .
This release finally approaches what I've felt all along version 5.0
should be like. The list of changes and improvements is just too long
and too pervasive to include here, so I'll just hit the highlights:
- major performance enhancements
- greatly simplified function call mechanism
- greatly improved error reporting
- backwards chaining works the way it should
- defadvice (function hints) working well
- huge new manual, including vast amounts of new Javadoc
- information
- many internal APIs cleaned up and made public: custom conflict
- strategy
API, many construct creation APIs; you can now write your own
control structures, etc
In addition, all bugs reported against previous alphas have been
fixed.
Enjoy, and as always I'm looking forward to your insightful
feedback. If this release turns out to be fairly trouble-free, the
next one will be 5.0b1.
