Drools 2.5 beta-1 is out.
Many improvements, including a re-engineering of the semantic module framework to generate deployable binary and source packages of rules. The Eclipse compiler is now used for java semantics.
Decision tables also now work with CSV files from any spreadsheet program, and include support for more drools contructs.
You can download the goods from the following links. Note that a lot of the dependencies have changed or been updated.
With all dependencies
Binary with no deps
Source code
As usual, please log all issues in JIRA. Of special interest is behaviour in containers, when deploying new rulebases, as there is a new RuleBaseLoader architecture. So test away !
Happy new year all.
PS Drools 3.0 will be transitioning to new SVN servers, JIRA etc. So updates to this site may be somewhat sporadic over the coming months. Drools 2.5 will be the last release from the 2.0 codebase lineage.
