[Paulo Moura]

Hi,

Logtalk 3.96.0 is now available for downloading at:

https://logtalk.org/

This release adds predicates for sorting loaded files by their dependencies; improves the `make` target `all` to minimize compilation warnings due to out-of-order loading of modified source files; updates the `format` library linter checker for control sequences that take two arguments; improves tests for the `os` library; updates the Handbook sections on the programing and on the `make` tool; updates the `logtalk_doclet.sh` and `logtalk_tester.sh` scripts for reimplementations of the GNU `coreutils` package; adds support for the Context7 MCP server; updates the VSCode support; and includes portability updates for GNU Prolog, Quintus Prolog, SICStus Prolog, Trealla Prolog, XSB, and YAP.

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

Logtalk for VSCode 0.75.0 released (requires Logtalk 3.96.0) with support for renaming local variables and parameter variables; new refactorings for extracting predicates, introducing and inlining variables, renumbering variables, wrapping plain Prolog files as objects, inferring public predicates, and sorting source files in driver files by dependencies; and improved performance of entity parameter refactorings.

Other recent changes in previous versions include fixes and improvements to the chat participant (including new slash commands); support for expanding and shrinking selections; updated documentation; propagation of file renames and deletions to loader and tester driver files with preview support; new refactorings for converting Prolog modules to objects, adding predicate/non-terminal declarations, splitting directives with list arguments, and moving code between entities; improved performance of the tests explorer and CodeLens providers; code completions when typing lists; creation of diagnostics from workspace tester and doclet commands output; plus a new setting for loading the project on extension activation.
