Easy Rules v3.0.0 Release Notes
Release Date: 2017-05-30 // almost 7 years ago-
This is a big milestone for Easy Rules since the beginning! v2.x was a successful line but we must admit it suffered from a couple of design decisions:
- Rules were designed to encapsulate data (BOM) they operate on. This works fine, but is not very friendly to concurrent threads
- The rules engine was designed to encapsulate the set of rules it operates on. For the same reason as 1) , this make the engine not thread safe
v3 is finally here to fix these issues! Please find below the most important changes and additions.
