Subject: [fipaos] ANNOUNCEMENT: FIPA-OS v1.3.0 - FIPA Experiment Specification supp ort
Hi FIPA-OS Developers,
We are pleased to announce the availability of FIPA-OS v1.3.0; the first public Open Source implementation of the newly released FIPA Experimental specifications for Agent Management, Naming and Transport. FIPA-OS is available for download from http://www.nortelnetworks.com/fipa-os.
During the last 9 months FIPA has gone through a number of changes to its processes which has resulted in a new mechanism to publicly releasing specifications. At the 18th FIPA meeting, hosted by UMBC, a number of the core specifications were approved for Experimental release (recommended for implementation). The new FIPA specifications have lead to substantial changes to the FIPA-OS implementation, which we hope will greatly improve the quality of the code and the functionality. Due to the sheer number of changes that have taken place we encourage FIPA-OS Developers to assist us in testing the new system over the next couple of weeks. For a detailed list of the FIPA Experimental specifications supported by FIPA-OS see the project web site at http://www.nortelnetworks.com/fipa-os.
In addition to the new FIPA functionality we have also attempted to address the issues experienced by some users with the automated installation process on some environments. To remove the dependency on the Install Anywhere tool, we have extracted the configuration mechanisms from the installer and produced a dedicated configuration tool.
For a detailed description of the changes made, please consult the Change Log at https://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=10521.
Future Plans
------------------
- Support for the FIPA defined HTTP Message Transport
Protocol.
- DF GUI support for AIDs.
- DF GUI support for DF federation.
- Improved Agent Management GUI.
As always we look forward to your feedback on this release and particularly encourage discussions on any proposals for new features to be included in future releases, including those proposed within this announcement.
Enjoy!
FIPA-OS co-ordinating team, 25/8/00.
