Hi!

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

        http://www.logtalk.org/

Logtalk is an open source object-oriented extension to the Prolog
programming language. Integrating logic programming with
object-oriented and event-driven programming, it is compatible with
most Prolog compilers. It supports both prototypes and classes. In
addition, it supports component-based programming through
category-based composition.

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-style***
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
