[ACT-R-users] ACT-R 6.0 update

[Dan Bothell]

Later today I will be updating the sources to make the
new version of the vision module the default.  Both the
Subversion archive and the released version (the one on
the web site) will be updated.  The current version of
the module (and other associated files) will still be
included under extras for those that need it.

This change should not affect existing models unless
they are interacting with a custom device or extensions
to the default devices.

However, if you do have any issues or problems with it
please let me know.

If you have implemented custom devices and would like to
move them to the new system you can find some documentation
on the new system in the PowerPoint slides called
"extending-actr.ppt" in the docs directory.  There will
also be an example model in the examples directory called
"simple-new-device.lisp" (it can be found under the
extras/new-vision/examples directory of the current
distribution).
