news and recent updates

This page will be updated as new things are completed. Fine-grain updates on the progress on the codebase can be found on the weblog.

• Sept 2006, version break
  See the note on the front page. I am discontinuing work on the 0.x release series, in order to radically restructure the current codebase. Nuin 2.x is currently at the planning stages. Major themes will be: simplifying the KR scheme to focus on RDF/OWL, dropping Jade support in favour of web-services, and simplifying the internal architecture.
• Nov 9th, 2004 Nuin 0.3 release
  The second technology preview release of Nuin, version 0.3, is now available from SourceForge. This is a relatively minor update. Key features are that it has a re-written RDF interface (in a new package org.nuin.ks.store.rdf, and the beginnings of a capability for directly invoking web services using the same style of invocation as that used for agent services. This web services machinery is still a work-in-progress. A more detailed summary of the capabilities of this release are included in the release notes.
• July 6th, 2004 Nuin 0.2 release
  The second technology preview release of Nuin, version 0.2, is now available from SourceForge. This release still requires work in a number of significant areas of functionality. However, it does provide a technology baseline, and has been applied to a number of example agent applications. Some sample applications are included in the Nuin download. A more detailed summary of the capabilities of this release are included in the release notes.
