Cougaar 12.6 Released

The Cougaar development team at Raytheon BBN Technologies is please to announce that Cougaar 12.6 has been released.

Highlights of this release are:

  • Annotations for easy specification of Plugin Parameters, Subscriptions, Service Bindings and Queries. Some tutorials have been updated to use annotations. See Query Annotations.
  • Generics support for black board subscriptions and predicates that reduces runtime checking of instanceof and subsequent casting. See Generics.
  • As announced in the past few months, but not in a release yet, the Cougaar repository was converted from CVS to Git with the retention of all checkin messages, tags, and branches. cougaar.org hosts external Git repositories.
  • Cougaar now requires Java 6 to compile and execute.
  • Agent lifecycle improvements.

See the 12.6 Release Notes, 12.6 build directory for downloads, updated Javadocs, and the Gitweb repository viewer.
