Releases
1

Dear SWI-Prolog user,

I’m happy to announce SWI-Prolog 8.3.5. This is a maintenance release,
notably containing documentation updates from David Tonhofer and Adrian
Wong. The release fixes some build issues, Prolog dependencies and
autoload handling.

Enjoy --- Jan

  • DOC: Clarifications, fix section levels.

    on Windows.

  • FIXED: Do not save the Prolog flag file_name_case_handling.

  • FIXED: listing/1: when used with a partly instantiated head to list
    a subset of the clauses, do not unify the clause head but only test
    it is unifyable.
