Dear All, We are happy to announce a new edition of the Dogelog Player: - Enhanced library(compat): We introduced a new built-in occurs_check/2. The predicate could be bootstrapped from unify_with_occurs_check/2 via occurs_check(V,T) :- \+ unify_with_occurs_check(V, T). But tapping into the native check gives better performance. - Enhanced library(math): We introduced sqrtrem/3 and isqrt/2 built-ins, for integer square root. The former is a predicate that also computes a reminder, and the later is an evaluable predicate, that suppresses the reminder. - New Railgun CLP: What began as a sport in December 2025 to explore a constraint solver that only uses ISO core standard Prolog. Is now a full project with iterative milestones. In this release we provide the basic vocabulary of CLP(FD), and an enhanced solver that uses min/max based partial consistency. Have Fun!
