Hi,

Logtalk 3.90.0 is now available for downloading at:

https://logtalk.org/

This release provides fixes and improvements to the Bash and PowerShell scripts used for backend integration, embedding, tools, Docker images, releases, and installation; adds support for generating single file versions of the Handbook and APIs documentation in LLM friendly Markdown format; adds new predicates to the "random" and "types" libraries; adds new "apache_poi" and "lips" programming examples; and fixes a VSCode code navigation issue with single references to local predicates.
