Hi All,

After what's been the shortest release cycle in modern Jess history,
the 6.1b1 release is now available at the usual location:

        http://herzberg.ca.sandia.gov/jess/download.shtml

This release adds a number of oft-requested Java APIs and Jess
functions, and also cleans up and documents JessEvent generation,
especially as it related to definstances and the modify command. There
were also a few minor bug fixes, a slight performance boost, and a lot
of code cleanup. From the change log: 

        Code cleanup: remove unused return value from
        callNodeLeft/Right, add Context argument to
        callNodeLeft/Right, and remove ThreadLocal Rete.s_engines and
        static Rete.getEngine() method. When any fact, shadow or not,
        is modified, either from Jess, from the Java API, or from a
        Bean event, a single FACT | MODIFIED event will be
        generated. Many of the built-in package classes are no longer
        public. Added Rete.updateObject and (update). Added
        Rete.modify().  Added Rete.watch(), unwatch(). (watch facts)
        reports modify again.  max-background-rules declaration added
        to defquery.  Javadoc coverage improved. Fixed ppdeftemplate
        handling of default-dynamic (thanks Ross Judson.)
