Hi Ernest,
Big thanks!! I just got this release and updated my code, and it's working
fine here!
I appreciate a lot the much better and cleaner Java interface. I had to
change my code, but it's now simpler and more elegant.
The new duplicate flag is great. My code is now running faster than before
(you remember - doing massive assertion batches), without need of hacking
extensions into Jess. But I noticed a minor problem: your accessors for
boolean properties are all using getXXX() names, like getFactDuplication();
the JavaBeans standard naming makes an exception for boolean so you should
use 'is' instead of all those 'get'.
A+
Osvaldo

>
> - 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.
