The fourth release candidate of Cycorp's new Java API suite for interacting with the Cyc inference engine and knowledge base.

For more information, view the README.md bundled with this release or visit the Cyc Developer Center.

Note that 1.0.0-rc4 is not backwards-compatible with earlier releases. It is expected that more release candidates will follow. Until the final 1.0.0 release, it is expected that future release candidates will break backwards compatibility.

Changes

Query API

  • Instead of creating Query objects directly, call QueryFactory.getQuery(...)
  • Query API no longer uses BaseClient CycObjects.

Natural language

  • Adds com.cyc.nl package to Core API Specification to support upcoming release of NL API.
  • Split com.cyc.baseclient.nl.Paraphraser class into com.cyc.nl.Paraphraser interface (in Core
    API Spec) and com.cyc.baseclient.nl.ParaphraserFactory class (in Base Client).

Session API

  • Adds API support for closing CycSessions and SessionManagers. See
    Session API Connection Management
    for details.
  • Significant improvements to session resource management, especially CycAccess management.
  • Bug fixes for threading issues.

Other changes
