[rules-users] News from the community - 5.6.0.CR1 is out!

[Davide Sottara]

Finally Drools 5.6.0.CR1 community edition has been released!

It has been mainly a community effort, driven by the use of Drools in
several applications and research projects,
but it was possible thanks to the collaboration of the main developer's
team and the help of everybody
who reported bugs, asked for new features and contributed with patches
or additions.

5.6 consolidates and finalizes the 5.x series. It comes with a number of
bug fixes and a still experimental,
but much more robust, second generation trait system - I will blog and
document it as soon as I can find
a moment next week.

The release is "candidate" to allow for some broader testing by the
community without requiring to download
and compile the code. If no major issues are reported, it will become
Final in a few weeks.

Let's keep sharing, looking forward to even more exciting innovations in
the 6.x series!

Best
Davide
