Been a while

[Christian Muise]

Hi all,

Sorry for the radio silence. Things have progressed slowly (myself and many others involved got overwhelmed with other commitments part-way through finishing things), but hopefully, some new stuff will be coming down the pipeline. Some highlights:

API: I am very near finished changes to the infrastructure so that we can expand to more than just classical problems, and many more statistics per problem. We'll be launching the new version with MAPDDL, FOND, and possibly RDDL included, and adding more in the future. Also, there will be a new interactive way to explore the API's documentation, complete with working examples!

Solver: More solvers will be added to the project (open source and hosted), as a commonly requested feature is to pick a solver, or run them all and compare results (akin to what itSimple pioneered). Last summer we crossed the 100,000 planner calls, which is a great milestone!

Editor: Although it wasn't announced here, the editor now has support for session saving / sharing. You can't collaborate in realtime, yet, but that's a feature we hope to add very soon (we've located a very nice third-party library that may make things turn-key to add this feature).

As always, if you would like to jump on board with one of the initiatives, just let me know. We could always use an extra set of hands.

Cheers!

Christian
