Hi Folks,
Well, at long last, Jess 5.0 (the final version) is available for
download at the usual place:
http://herzberg.ca.sandia.gov/jess/download.html.
I started working on Jess version 5 well over a year ago; the first
version 5 alpha was released in December of 1998. Although Jess has
many new features since version 4, I think the biggest improvement ahs
been in quality. Jess 5 is more solid, faster, and better documented
than all previous versions.
A partial list of major features in Jess version 5 (some of these are
hardly new to you folks, of course:
- 16-bit clean I/O
- backwards chaining
- greatly improved function-call mechanism
- improved agenda management with time tags
- serialization
- fuzzy logic support (with NRC extensions)
- the '|' connective
- nested (not) CEs
- many performance enhancements
- dozens of new functions and features
Anyway, Jess 4.4 is hereby officially unsupported, and Jess 5 is
officially released. A huge thanks to everyone who contributed bug
reports, suggestions and ideas over the last year.
