Revision History
1.2.1 - (22-sep-1999): First
minor release.
It was incorporated a new architecture
designed to handle plugs in a distributed computing environment. This brought
a new main module to the ONtoolkit suite (see the brief description for
details).
New fuzzy inference engine demo.
The TSP demo was updated to make use of plugs.
1.1.3 - (11-aug-1999): Several
important fixes and some improvements/modifications.
New model for object encapsulation (structural/weak
references):
getClone_X() --> clone_X()
set_X() --> put_X(), now with
structural reference (see docs)
release_X() (see docs).
New format for external classes. Mutable/Immutable
are not more strictly required, furthermore the DefaultMutable
now contains new methods getTime(), setLastUpdate(),
and getLastUpdate().
Fixed hangup problem with DNS lookups when
the localhost specifies an unreachable DNS server.
Improved documentation + tutorials + demos.
Inclusion of MTON-ready classes for matrix
calculations, genetic algorithms, and fuzzy systems.
1.1.2 - (14-jun-1999): First
public patch fix:
Fixed several MTON failures when running
networks consuming/generating active objects.
Modification of the interest value to double,
and now it's possible to omit this specification when the object does not
want firing.
Fixed a lot of minor bugs on simulation related
dialogs.
Addition of the 'trace property' command
to the object networks debugging.
1.1.1 - (07-jun-1999): First restricted access release. Several
critical bugs but it can handle the most of the networks we have.
Comments on the version naming policy
We the consider the following version convention:
MAJOR_RELEASE.MINOR_RELEASE.PATCH_LEVEL
where:
MAJOR_RELEASE |
major level of improvement. Complete reestruturation of all features.
Global functionality may change completely. |
MINOR_RELEASE |
minor level of improvement. Some features may be added and/or removed.
Global functionality is maintained. |
PATCH_LEVEL |
very specific features may be changed. It's intended to report bug
fixes. |
TO DO list
Plugable inspectors, for visualizing any
data structure an object may have. This feature will be implemented in
a plug-in approach (to appear in 1.3.X).
More in-depth help, including tutorials.
Zip archive format to pack the .on and all .fill files
(to appear in 1.2.X, we hope so).
