Hi Folks,
Jess 4.1b3 is now available for download at the usual place
http://herzberg.ca.sandia.gov/jess/download.html
4.1b3 fixes a couple of important bugs. I hope this will be the last
beta of 4.1 (you never know, though!) As usual, let me know if you
find any problems.
I've already started work on 4.2 (or maybe it should be called 5.0?)
which will break Java 1.0 compatibility and introduce serialization
and some other nifty features. Curiously enough, the code is shrinking.
About 4.1b3, from the README:
Problem with calling public methods of package-private classes
from Jess fixed; thanks to Lars Rasmusson for explaining this one
to me! OutOfMemoryError while parsing file containing unbalanced
open parens fixed. Line breaks in double-quoted strings no longer
need to be (but can be) escaped. Two fixes thanks to Andreas
Rasmusson: gensym* returns symbol as documented, not string; and
a propertyChangeEvent for a bogus property no longer causes Jess
to retract a definstance without updating it. Many of the
synchronized methods in the Rete class no longer are
synchronized; instead they either use synchronized blocks keyed
to affected members, or simply depend on the internal
synchronization of Hashtables. (read) and (readline) explicitly
act differently for console-like and file-like
streams. ConsoleDisplay gets a "Clear Window" button.
