Dear All,

We are happy to announce a new edition
of the Dogelog player:

- Multifile Directive:
Until now, the multifile directive was just a
mockup with no function. This has now changed,
the directive now works both in the runtime and
in the transpiler.

- Native Libraries:
Libraries can be addressed using the new library(_)
and foreign(_) file specifications. The latter works
for both the JavaScript platform (loading _sync.js
or .mjs) and the Python platform (loading .py).

- Asynchronous Literate Programming:
Native libraries are loaded in the browser
using its asynchronous import(). Accordingly,
we have expanded the literate programming and
asynchronous Dogelog notebooks can also
be generated.

Have Fun!

The Prolog library(charsio) helps in executing test cases
that probe input or output expectations. The predicates
offered by this library allow for temporary redirection of
the current input or output.

The new stream API exposes Writer and Reader objects.
As a business case we provide memory files as a
native library, and on top of that a realization of our prolog
predicates from the Prolog library(charsio).

Dogelog Player is a 100% pure Prolog system for the
JavaScript and the Python platform. It relies on the
arithmetic of the host programming language and
we were currious how subsequently certain Prolog
evaluable functions compare to other Prolog systems.

Instead of breaking our head over designing test data,
we opted for fuzzy testing, where the test data is
produced by some random number generator. We
have now a better grip what the different target platforms
JavaScript and Python can do for the Dogelog Player.

We explored the possibility to run a Git independent
of GitHub on a remote server of our own choice. We
report here on our findings and how we have now a
new distribution channel for Dogelog Player.

There was first some turmoil, but the remote Git
repository can be enabled to generate extra
information, which is all what the local HTTP
Git client needs. There is now dumb HTTP access
to the source code, the user manuals and

the examples of the Dogelog player.

We recently completed a testing campaign for the
Prolog float/1, (/)/2 and (**)/2 evaluable functions.
Our results are already outdated, so we provide a little
refresher on what has changed meanwhile.

By a simple change of the testing harness, we could also
use the test cases to measure performance. There is still a
lot of issues with ECLiPSe Prolog and Scryer Prolog. But taking
testing on the Unix platform into account, recent SWI-Prolog
is now among the most accurate and fastest.

Hotel Grindelwald installed a binary cipher lock
system. It was praised as very user friendly, as
the hotel room safe will open as soon as the correct
binary sequence is entered.

The hotel also claimed that a burglar would need
in maximum of 2048 trials to find the 8 bits. This
was challenged by a guest by the name Colmerauer,
a former professor from Marseille.

The Go programming language offers a type
math.big.Float out of the box. There is no such data
type for the JavaScript platform that is visibly bundled
with the runtime. We therefore went on an adventure
to implement binary arbitrary floats in 100% pure Prolog.

The porting to Dogelog Player wasn’t easy, since
JavaScript lacks good support for lsb/1, msb/1,
testbit/2 and divmod/2. The results are quite
encouraging. Not only got formerly Jekejeke Prolog
the silver medal. Also Dogelog Player doesn’t fare so bad,
it even beats Scryer Prolog.

Dogelog Player is a Prolog system that targets the
JavaScript and the Python platform. It is 100% written
in Prolog itself. We report about new built-ins format/[2,3]
that were developed Novacore style for both Dogelog

Player and formerly Jekejeke Prolog. For single source
Prolog bootstrapping we first implemented a platform
dependent built-in atom_number/4 for number shaping.
Testing shows that there is already perfect agreement

among all 3 platforms. We might now go on with further
investigations into format/[2,3] and the DOM API.
