Re: [rules-dev] M1 sneak preview
We are still preparing some release notes, and overviews for this
release, before we announce it. But for the brave here are some links to
binaries:
http://labs.jboss.com/file-access/default/members/jbossrules/downloads/3....
http://labs.jboss.com/file-access/default/members/jbossrules/downloads/3....
http://labs.jboss.com/file-access/default/members/jbossrules/downloads/3....
The only drl incompatabilities, that i'm aware of, at this stage is:
Primitives are no longer auto-boxed, as we can handle primitives
natively now - so code that expected a wrapped primitive will fail to
compile.
We now implement shadow facts, which means for the moment classes and
methods must not be final and implement a default constructor.
To indicate this is a "project" preview, it is being released under the
drools project name, when it comes time to final, we'll tag and release
as jboss rules.

Mark,
Follows the list of main features added to core/compiler I was able
to get from JIRA.
Do you want me to ellabora on each item or the JIRA is enough and
we focus on documentation? I think it would be good to start a wiki
page on migration from 3.0.x to 3.2. What do you think?
