Hi Folks, We're pleased to announce the release of a new development version of Jess, available for download in the usual location:
http://www.jessrules.com/download.shtml Jess 7.1a1 is the first alpha release of Jess 7.1. Since we haven't had an alpha release in quite a while, I should briefly describe what this means. Jess alpha releases are feature-incomplete versions of an eventual full release. They are held to the same quality standards as our normal releases; they pass our full test suite. There are, however, some new features which may still be changed considerably before a final release. We're very interested in feedback on these new features and we strongly encourage you to give them a try. The major new feature in this release is "peering". Any number of Jess instances can now share a single rule base, leading to much faster startup and reduced memory usage for systems in which multiple engines run the same rules on differing data. We're especially interesting in feedback regarding this feature: does it work for you, of course, but also can you find any performance issues or other problems? Other planned Jess 7.1 features are not yet present in this release and will appear in subsequent alpha releases. As always, feedback is welcome either to the list at [email protected] or personally to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] . --------------------------------------------------------- Ernest Friedman-Hill Advanced Software Research Phone: (925) 294-2154 Sandia National Labs FAX: (925) 294-2234 PO Box 969, MS 9012 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Livermore, CA 94550 http://www.jessrules.com -------------------------------------------------------------------- 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!)
