[ACT-R-users] New ACT-R software

[db30 at andrew.cmu.edu]

The ACT-R 7 software available from the Software page on the ACT-R website
<http://act-r.psy.cmu.edu/software/> has been updated.  The current version
is now 7.12.10-<2762:2018-12-20>.

This is the stable version of the prototype that was made available last year:

<https://mailman.srv.cs.cmu.edu/pipermail/act-r-users/2018-January/002538.html>

More information can also be found in the slides from the 2017 and 2018
Workshops:

This is a significant update to the software which is likely going to require
updates to existing experiment/task code to be able to run it with this
version.  There is a link to a commented updating of the demo2 task from the
tutorial on the software page as an example.

For those interested in using the remote interface, in addition to the remote
manual found in the docs directory and the Python code included with the
tutorial, the examples/connections directory contains some very simple
examples of connecting to the ACT-R interface server using: C, Java, Lisp,
MATLAB, Node.js, Python, R, and Tcl/Tk.



If you would like to continue using the previous version,
7.5-<2244:2017-07-11>, it will remain available from the old software page:

If you have any questions or problems with the new version please let me know.
