[Info-gnuprologjava] GNU Prolog for Java 0.2.5 alpha release

[Daniel Thomas]

In our first release since 0.1.0 (2000-11-12) the GNU Prolog for Java
project is proud to announce the release of an alpha version of our
0.2.5 release. 

Prolog for Java is a java library (gnu.prolog) that allows Prolog code
to be executed from within java. This allows for the use of Prolog to
solve the problems which Prolog is particularly suited to while Java is
used for other components. 

It can be downloaded from http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gnuprologjava/ or by
ftp ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gnuprologjava/ and is licensed under the
LGPLv3. 

The project website is: http://www.gnu.org/software/gnuprologjava/ 

NEWS since the last release: 
0.2.5 alpha 2010-07-28
   Conforms to ISO/IEC DIS 13211-1 : 1995 bar two minor bugs.
   The demo package now contains an example of the use of the API.
   The public key of the key signing key is in the sources.
   Term classes now have working .toString() functions (which use
TermWriter.toString(Term))
   The Inria test suite provides an easily extensible test suite for
     testing standards compliance.
   This supplements the vanilla test suite both of which can be found
     here: http://pauillac.inria.fr/~deransar/prolog/suites.html
   NONISO features added:
       ensure_loaded/1 predicate can be used anywhere
       If ':- term' is used and term is not a directive then this will
         be treated as ':- intiailization(term)'.
       random(L) predicate evaluates to a random number i such that:
         0 =< i < L
   GNU Prolog for Java is now licensed under the LGPLv3 rather than the
LGPLv2.
   Two outstanding bugs in standards compliance are:
       #30568 (inria tests on findall's throwing of type_errors fails)
and
       #30335 (inria tests on arg's unification of variables inside the
compound term fail)
0.2.x
   Michiel Hendriks wrote many additional features and added support for
   many more predicates as well as doing a lot of work towards ISO
   Prolog part 1 compliance.
   This includes: get_time/1, stamp_date_time/3, date_time_stamp/2,
   date_time_value/3, format_time/3, format_time/4, parse_time/2,
   parse_time/3, trace/0, notrace/0, tracing/0, spy/2, nospy/1,
   nospyall/0, various predicates for dialogs, java_to_string/2,
   java_classname/2, listing/0, listing/1, compare/3, stacktrace/1,
   current_functor/2, uuid/1, uuid/2, uuid_compare/3, uuid_version/2,
   uuid_variant/2
0.2.0 2009-03-04
   Various changes, bug fixes and additions.
   It now conforms to the "vanilla" test suite (with a few minor changes
to some tests).
   All ISO Prolog predicates are supported. char_conversion is
implemented but not used.
   Added support for tracing/spying predicates
