The latests news about the DIET Agents platform:
- 14 Mar 2005. Release of DIET Agents Version 0.97. Only relatively small improvements have been made, but ones that developers should find useful. In particular, the new
MirrorFactory interface makes it much more convenient for agents to initiate communication with a remote agent.
- 23 Dec 2004. Release of DIET Agents Version 0.96 and Elvis Version 1.02. The new release of the platform includes many improvements in the ARC layer. For instance, the behaviour of job managers has been improved and extended. There are also various new jobs and other utility classes, many of which are demonstrated in the new
job sample application. Most classes now also generate detailed toString output. Also, in the core layer the visualisation model classes have been completely seperated from their underlying implementations. As a result, visualisation classes require minor changes, which is why a new release of Elvis has been released as well. Download it now

Many other improvements have been made as well. See the release notes for details. Download it now
- 29 Jun 2004. Release of DIET Agents Version 0.94. This release includes much better support for remote communication.

There are several new sample applications that demonstrate these new remote communication facilities. Many other minor improvements have been made as well. See the release notes for details.
