[eclipse-clp-users] Logtalk 3.79.0 and Logtalk for VSCode 0.21.0 released

[Paulo M. <pm...@lo...>]

Hi,

Logtalk 3.79.0 is now available for downloading at:

https://logtalk.org/

This release fixes a regression in the "make" tool for the "check" target; fixes the term-expansion mechanism to allow generating multiple entity definitions; fixes left-recursion linter warnings for coinductive predicates; fixes the "code_metrics" tool implementation of the cyclomatic complexity and unique predicate nodes metrics to take into account multifile predicate definitions; fixes the "wrapper" tool reporting of missing meta_predicate/1 directives; changes the "dead_code_scanner" and "lgtdoc" tools to print warnings using the same format used by the compiler; provides Handbook improvements; and includes new and improved VSCode/VSCodium support predicates. Thanks to Alex Kouznetsov for his bug reports and documentation feedback.

For details and a complete list of changes, please consult the release notes at:
