Hi,

Logtalk 3.25.0 is now available for downloading at:

https://logtalk.org/

New to Logtalk? Tutorials and a learning guide are available at:

https://logtalk.org/guides.html

Logtalk provides an alternative to Prolog modules, notably for programming in 
the large, and comes with a full set of developer tools:

https://logtalk.org/tools.html

This release focus on compiler linter and QuickCheck improvements. It adds 15 
new linter checks, notably for possibly non-steadfast predicates, predicate and 
variable names that do not follow coding guidelines, repeat loops without a 
cut, redundant calls to built-in predicates and control constructs, cuts in 
clauses for multifile predicates, variable use in all-solutions predicate 
calls, and several others suspicious calls and constructs; adds two new 
compiler flags, "steadfastness" and "naming", to control the corresponding 
linter warnings; improves the goal-expansion mechanism to prevent infinite 
loops when the goal to be expanded resulted from a previous expansion of the 
same goal; updates the "coinductive/1" directive to also accept non-terminal 
indicators; updates the Handbook glossary; improves the Handbook sections on 
performance and on calling Prolog meta-predicates; fixes issues in the PDF 
version of the Handbook; improves "lgtunit" tool support for QuickCheck by 
allowing the user to specify the maximum number of shrink operations and by 
testing edge cases first; adds definitions for new types that take as argument 
a character set; adds shrinking supporty for most of the types supported by the 
"arbitrary" category; adds support for defining type edge cases to the 
"arbitrary" category; improves shrinking of list types; fixes steadfastness 
issues with some library predicates; and provides portability updates for GNU 
Prolog, SICStus Prolog, SWI-Prolog, and YAP. For details and a complete list of 
changes, please consult the release notes at:

Happy logtalking!
