Logtalk 3.92.0 ڈاؤن لوڈ

Logtalk compiler and runtime

- FIXED: The exception terms used for object existence errors thrown by the asserta/1-2 built-in methods.
- FIXED: Typo in the documentation of the forwarding protocol forward/1 predicate.
Prolog adapter and integration files
- UPDATED: Trealla Prolog adapter file for the deprecation of the consult/1 built-in predicate in version 2.68.11.
- UPDATED: The XVM adapter file for the renaming in version 11.x of the unify_applies_occurs_check flag to enable_occurs_check.

- CHANGED: Moved the sample files to a samples directory.
- ADDED: Glossary entries for "flaky test", "test dialect", "test outcome", "mocking", "term-expansion", and "goal-expansion".

- UPDATED: The coinduction example for the XVM 11.x renaming of the flag unify_applies_occurs_check to enable_occurs_check.
- UPDATED: The SWI-Prolog backend specific pengines example to not require the gui flag set to true.
- UPDATED: The lips example test to try to avoid a divide by zero error with fast backends.

- FIXED: Tests for the logtalk_library_path/2 built-in predicate when run on Windows systems that don't define the HOME environment variable.
Installers and installation scripts
- CHANGED: The build_release.sh script to also include the APIs documentation when building the manuals archive.
- UPDATED: The portable Docker image to include the JAR files required by the apache_poi, clustering, and document_converter examples.
- IMPROVED: Simplified the Docker files for the portable and SWI-Prolog images.
- IMPROVED: The manual installation script to also print the required MANPATH environment variable setting.
