Re: [rules-users] Problem with Banking Tutorial

Hi all, thanks a lot for your helpful answers. I'm looking forward to the update to 5.6.0. Is the mentioned time horizon ("a few days") still realistic? I.e. could you recommend me to pause the evaluation of drools, instead of downgrading to 5.4.0? We consider to use drools in a larger project, and I have to decide whether I recommend drools, or prefer a simpler design developed from scratch. As far it's an fact that I cannot recommend drools 5.5.0. What version is reasonable to use for further evaluation?

I have urged this before, mainly because not warning users is a primary cause for them wasting time and effort. Keep carping...
