[rules-dev] M2 is now tagged

[Mark Proctor]

We have just tagged M2, it took a little while to get a fully automated 
build, it's now called 4.0 M2 - we changed it to 4.0 as there is an API 
change and way too many features to be 3.x.. you can checkout the tag 
from the url below - documentation has not yet been updated since 3.0.x.

The README explains how to build everything, we have automated the 
creation of the eclipse plugin and that is now part of the build system.

We have updated the dependencies document, you'll notice that there are 
now a lot less dependencies as we have inlined JCI. MVEL is a new 
dependency for core, we will look to inline that closer to 4.0 final.

We will be putting up the binaries shortly along with release notes.

The api change is where we removed ruleBase.newWorkingMemory() and 
replaced that with two apis newStatefulSession and newStatelessSession, 
both offer async methods now for working memory actions. Ruleflow is now 
also part of engine with a gui designed. Conway's game of life has been 
updated and now fully stateful, I recommend everyone look at this if 
they want to see a more complex example that shows how to write rules 
correctly, it currently uses agenda-groups but I'll be doing a version 
that uses rule-flow. The BRMS is also part of this release.

Have fun.
