Rule Engine Difference between 6.0 and 6.1

591 Views

I was reading through the 6.1 release notes for the Rule Engine. We are on 6.0.0.1 looking to implement custom rule functionality and are trying to decide if we should upgrade to 6.1 for this. We won't be using the backoffice UI much thus I don't see many improvements listed for our case. The two items from the release notes I have quoted below concern me the most if needed. Since we just upgraded to 6.0.0.1 we are hoping to wait a bit to upgrade. Has anyone had issues working with the rules engine in 6.0, not including the promo engine? Are there things that we simply cannot do in 6.0 which 6.1 would allow?

Thanks

Rule Types and Deployment: Simplified mechanism to define new rule types and their mapping to target drools rules for building custom business modules using the rule engine.

With Release 6.1, it is now even easier to build custom business modules based on the rule engine by creating new SourceRule types, such as NewSourceRule and NewSourceRuleTemplate. New SourceRule types can be mapped to the existing Condition and Action definitions and to a target DroolsRule type and DroolsKIEModule.
