Hi Folks, We're pleased to announce the availability of the latest release of Jess, the rule engine for the Java platform, at the usual location:
http://herzberg.ca.sandia.gov/jess/download.shtml This release adds a lot of polish to Jess 7 as we approach the final version. There are a number of bug fixes, enhanced features for the JessDE debugger, and a new simplified API for embedding Jess in Java applications. As usual, comments and questions are welcome on the mailing list at jess-users@sandia.gov or directly to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] >From the changelog: Fix slot-specific behavior for "null" property names in change events (thanks Shan Ming Woo). Fix SAX parse error for facts with no slots (thanks Wang Dong.) Fixed definstance name resolution across modules (Woo). New "map", "filter", and "list" functions for functional programming. Run configurations are reused in Eclipse. Can pass command-line arguments from Eclipse Run dialog. Defglobals show up in JessDE debugger. Spaces in path names won't confuse jess.bat (thanks Eric Schubert.) Fix deadlock in debugger when stepping over (read) and (readline) calls (thanks Jim Goodwin.) "Start suspended" checkbox in debugger. Can specify jess.Main alternate in launch configuration. Tiny font in manual navbar fixed. New URL for Jikes in manual. New "quick start" section in manual, and a new simplified engine API as described therein: mark(), resetToMark(), add(), addAll(), getObjects(). --------------------------------------------------------- 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://herzberg.ca.sandia.gov -------------------------------------------------------------------- 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!)
