Logtalk 2.20.0 is now available for downloading

[Paulo Moura]

Hi!

Logtalk 2.20.0 is now available for downloading from the Logtalk web 
site:

        http://www.logtalk.org/

This release adds a new uses/2 predicate directive, improves 
installation instructions for Windows users, adds new Windows JScript 
scripts for automating loading of Logtalk with selected Prolog 
compilers, and contains new, improved scripts for converting XML 
documenting files to PDF files and (X)HTML files.


From the release notes:

* Added support for the uses/2 predicate directive (whose semantics is 
similar to C++ using-declarations). Updated the uses/1 entity directive 
to accept as argument a single object identifier.

* Improved installation instructions for Windows users.

* Added four new sample bash shell scripts and Windows JScript scripts 
for converting XML documenting files to PDF, HTML, and XHTML using 
several XSL processors.

* Added missing namespace to XSL files in order to generated valid 
(X)HTML files with recent versions of XSLT processors.

* Updated the User Manual documentation on converting XML documenting 
files to other formats.

* Removed the texml.xsl XSLT file as the TeXMLatte application it 
depends on is no longer available.

* Added Windows JScript script for copying the Logtalk examples, 
library, and xml directories to the user directory.

* Added Windows JScript scripts for easy integration of Logtalk with 
ECLiPSe, SWI-Prolog, SICStus Prolog, and YAP.

* Added missing extension for source metafiles to the SWI-Prolog hook 
file.

* Corrected a bug in the lgtxhtml.xsl XSLT file where a wrong reference 
to the Logtalk CSS file is being used in the xml-stylesheet tag.

* The iso_initialization_dir/1 compiler option is now a read only flag, 
defined in the configuration files.


The CVS tag for this release is "lgt2200".


Happy logtalking!

Paulo
