Since no one has reported problems with the prerelease version, it is now
the current version.

The previous version (7.27.7) is now available on the old software page if
you still need access to it:

<http://act-r.psy.cmu.edu/old-act-r-software/>

If you have any questions or problems with the update let me know.

We are hiring! Even better, we have TWO tenure-track positions available: one Applied and one Quantitative. Postings are below.

Come join us! Alternately, let your awesome about-to-graduate Ph.D. student know.

I'm on the search committee for the Quant position but I'm happy to answer questions about either.
