This release improves the linter warnings for unsound constructs in =
grammar rules and for if-then-else and soft-cut control constructs; =
improves the semantics and implementation of several multi-threading =
features; fixes compilation of "phrase/2-3" goals where the first =
argument is a "(::)/1-2" or "(^^)/2" control construct with a variable =
grammar rule body argument; fixes a regression where a compiler error =
when a source file term is not callable would be delegated to the =
backend; improves the Handbook documentation of several directives and =
built-in predicates; improves the Handbook documentation on dynamic =
predicates and grammar rules; adds a "listing" library (replacing the =
old undocumented one); adds a "recorded_database" library to help =
porting legacy Prolog code; fixes "json" library bugs; updates the =
"help" tool support to browse the Handbook and APIs documentation from =
the top-level; changes the default output directory for the "diagrams" =
tool to "./dot_dias"; updates the "tutor" tool for all recent linter =
updates; fixes a syntax error in the "logtalk_tester.ps1" script; =
improves the portability of the "fcube" port; updates the Advent of Code =
2023 examples and several of the multi-threading examples; adds =
additional tests for the de facto standard "format/2-3" predicates and =
for the multi-threading built-in predicates; updates support for several =
text editors and syntax highlighters; updates the manual installation =
script to inform the user about the "INFOPATH" environment variable; =
fixes the Bash shell embedding scripts to actually use the default =
settings file when no "-s" option is passed; and includes portability =
updates for CxProlog, LVM, SICStus Prolog, SWI-Prolog, XSB, and YAP. =
