5.3
by Mark Proctor
We are going to do a beta next week, followed by a candidate release a
week or so after, and hopefully final after that. So 5.3 final three and
a half weeks from now.
We are trying for much shorter releases, with only a few small changes
per release.

Mario Fusco to join as core Drools engine developer
by Mark Proctor
It gives me great pleasure to announce that Mario Fusco will be joining
the Drools team to work on the core engine in August.

Mario is the author of OSS Lambdaj which brings functional programming
and closures to java, and the Hammurabi Scala rule engine.

Mario initially will be focusing on improving the end user experience of
the core engine, specifically in authoring DRL. Below is a list of areas
he'll be responsible for, during his first 6 months. Of course he isn't
limited to just those :)
* Improved syntax error reporting
* Killing all parser bugs and also expression and action evaluation bugs.
* Better masking of the underlying execution engine (MVEL leaks too much)
* Helping us move to a single language (no more dialects).
* Micro benchmarking so we can better track performance and memory
regressions
* ASM bytecode compilation so we can reduce our dependency on JDT over
time, which is too heavy. ASM will allow a more runtime JIT approach
to expressions and actions.
* Maintaining the Eclipse DRL editor.
* Help with future DRL design discussions especially on functional
programming.
More importantly this allows core maintenance to be spread across more
people, which gives Edson and myself more time to do research so we can
innovate faster.
