Hi Folks, Well, majordomo is up again, as is the Jess web site, so, as promised, I've released Jess 5.0b4. This release fixes a number of bugs and adds a few small but important features (support for a LONG type, the (exists) CE and nested (not)s, and a mechanism for running forever without busy-waiting.) I hope this will be the last beta. Please pound on this and see if you can find any more bugs. As usual, the software is available from http://herzberg.ca.sandia.gov/jess/download.html . >From the change log: Version 5.0b4 (January 5th, 2000): Fixed broken fact-slot-value function. Some support for new RU.LONG type. Added (run-until-halt), runUntilHalt(), activationSemaphore, etc. (unique) CE no longer prevents partial matches from being retracted, only from being propagated (thanks Vicken Kasparian.) Nested nots and (exists) CE added. Unmatched variables can appear in function calls within defqueries (thanks Michal Fadljevic). Bsave/bload now works with defclasses (thanks Russ Milliken.) ReflectFunctions cache result of BeanInfo.getPropertyDescriptors(). --------------------------------------------------------- Ernest Friedman-Hill Distributed Systems Research Phone: (925) 294-2154 Sandia National Labs FAX: (925) 294-2234 Org. 8920, MS 9012 [EMAIL PROTECTED] PO Box 969 http://herzberg.ca.sandia.gov Livermore, CA 94550 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send the words 'unsubscribe jess-users [EMAIL PROTECTED]' in the BODY of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], NOT to the list (use your own address!)
