Encog 2.3 for Java Released to Beta

Encog 2.3.0 for Java has been released as beta. All software is complete and javadocs have been updated. The C# version should follow in a few weeks. Encog 2.3 is the version that both books are to be released on. So Encog 2.3 will not go out of beta until both books have been released. At that point Encog 2.4 will begin. I do not expect any of the Encog 2.x releases to “break” the books. When there is an Encog release that will affect the books, and software based on Encog, this will be called Encog 3. Only a few vague plans for Encog 3, at this point.

Encog 2.3 has many exciting advances.

Scaled Conjugate Gradient (Levenberg-Marquardt) Training
Multi-Dimensional RBF Training
Cost-Based Genetic and Simulated Annealing
Normalization Improvements

The betas can be downloaded from the Encog download areas.
