Carneades 4.2

Version 4.2 of Carneades was released today. New in 4.2 are:

• User-definable argument evaluation functions, for deriving relative argument weights from properties of the arguments (4.1 included a few builtin argument evaluation functions.)
• A language, based on YAML, for representing argumentation schemes.
• Automatic argument construction from argumentation schemes and assumptions via an inference engine implemented using Constraint Handling Rules.

The source code is available in the Carneades-4 Github project. The code is open source, using the MPL-2.0 license.
