All,
We just released Drools v4.0.7.
This is an important bugfix release because it has the cumulative fixes
from the version 4.0.5 and 4.0.6 that were rolled back. We strongly advise
you all to update.
We would like to thank all the people that helped us, testing,
developing, providing patches, ideas and recommendation, and special to the
ones that answered our call for tests.
Bellow you can find the cumulative release notes for Drools version
4.0.5, 4.0.6 and 4.0.7.
Happy drooling,
Edson
