CLIPS Year In Review: 2017

The API updates for version 6.4 of CLIPS, as well as the release versions of CLIPS JNI 1.0 and CLIPS.NET 1.0, were completed this year. I also found a "good enough" solution for the lack of support for MDI applications in .NET, so CLIPS .NET now includes a CLIPS IDE with support for debugging windows. The makefiles got some attention and I also completed a number of user requests for additional functionality. Finally, the tedious process of updating the Basic, Advanced, and Interfaces Guides were completed allowing the first beta release of CLIPS 6.4 in December.

Plans for 2018 are to complete the release of CLIPS 6.4 so that I can move on to writing CLIPS textbooks. My stretch goal for 2018 will be to include a formal C++ with the 6.4 release.
