Longest... Beta release... Ever.
After seven long years of limbo, I finally managed to work my way through the bazillion small things that needed to be completed before officially releasing version 6.30 of CLIPS.
Whew!
The major new feature in 6.30 is performance improvements, but this marks the first release where the distribution CLIPS executables—both Windows and Mac OS X—are code signed. The warnings you get when attempting to download and run unsigned executables from the Internet are pretty intimidating, so while the signing may go unnoticed by many, I’m glad I took the time and effort to get it done.
The CLIPS documentation has gotten a facelift as well. The box headers that for some reason we thought looked good twenty years ago are gone; spacing has been adjusted to improved readability; and the diagrams and tables have been updated with a modern look.
Now to decide what’s next for CLIPS…
