SWI-Prolog 5.0.0/XPCE 6.0.0 Summary of changes
Organisation: License, home and plans
=====================================
* LICENSE
SWI-Prolog/XPCE and all our packages are now licensed according to the
LGPL for the C-parts and GPL + exception to allow linking into non-GPL
applications for the Prolog libraries.
The new rights make it much easier for us to integrate contributions
into the system as we no longer need the copyright to them.
The old proprietary license provided more rights. We anticipate most
holders will have no problem switching to the new conditions. If there
are problems, please contact jan@swi-prolog.org and we will try to find
a solution. Of course you are free to stick with the old version under
the old proprietary license.
* HOME
The official home of SWI-Prolog is now
http://www.swi-prolog.org
Especially the heavy used download page and pages that need facilities
not provide with the hosting ISP stay on the SWI site. The above however
should be a once and forall stable URL, so
PLEASE UPDATE YOUR LINKS
* PLANS
I have decided to try and arrange things such that I can spend much more
time to XPCE/SWI-Prolog. In due time, this means the project should
become fully self-supporting. The above new license agreement places
SWI-Prolog firmly in the Free and Open Source Initiative and therefore
allow us only to make money on related activities. We are working on
the details, but these will include support, sponsored development and
general sponsoring. Please help us build a community that is profitable
for all of us!
Further announcements will follow.
SWI-Prolog 5.0.0
================
* BUGS FIXED
+ sub_atom/5 crash on backtracking
+ random/3 from Quintus compatibility library
+ Permission problem in make/0
+ Type-checking in code/character lists
* PORTABILITY
+ Renamed write_ln to writeln (write_ln still in library(backcomp))
* ADDED
+ Menus to PLWIN.EXE console
+ Many improvements on to the development and manual tools.
XPCE 6.0.0
===========
* BUGS FIXED
+ Save images on 24 and 32 bit machines (X11)
+ Many frame geometry management problems
* MODIFIED:
+ Default look-and-feel now incorporates many Gtk (GNOME) elements.
* PORTABILITY:
+ Prefer mkstemp() over tmpnam() (security).
* ADDED
+ Library(persistent_frame) to make it easy to write applications that
remember their window location. Use this for many of the standard
tools from the manual and Prolog environment.
