Dear JADE users, we are pleased to announce the release of version 2.6
of JADE.
As usual, the ChangeLog file on the web site reports the full list of
modifications (http://jade.cselt.it/lastVersion/ChangeLog), where the
followings are the most relevant:
- added to the DF the support for fipa-subscribe interaction protocol
and also the SubscriptionInitiator/Responder classes that can be
extended by users
- Improved the IntrospectorAgent tool with the capability of visualizing
the tree of the behaviours of a given agent (thanks to the help of Brian
Bremick)
- Added new add-on with the roundtriptime benchmark of JADE
- Added new add-on with an embryonic JSP tag library provided by Daniel
Le Berre. Further input on this tag library is welcome.
- All the JADE documentation has been made available also on-line on the
Web site.
It is also available the new plug-in for security and multi-user
support, even if the type of license has not yet been decided by the
company. Those of you who are interested in the plug-in are kindly
invited to register their interest by using this form
(http://jade.cselt.it/jadesecform.html) and they will be kept informed
about the license.
Regarding backward compatibility, your applications should not be
impacted by this new release apart from minor modifications reported in
the ChangeLog file.

http://jade.cselt.it/ JADE (Java Agent Development Framework) is a
software framework that simplifies the implementation of multi-agent
systems through a middle-ware that complies with the FIPA specifications
and through a set of tools that support the debugging and deployment
phases. JADE has successfully participated at the FIPA interoperability
tests held in Seoul on January 1999 and in London on April 2001, and it
has been extensively used within a number of European projects. It is
completely implemented in Java language and the minimal software
requirement is the version 1.2 of Java.
Apologies for any duplicate emails received.
Sincerely, the JADE Team.
