- Better codes generation for facts handling due to optimized facts access
- Predicate argument defaults can be a non-constant expressions that is evaluated when the predicate is called.
- Generate call to memory::threadAttachCurrent in not-Prolog predicates which are DLL entry points
- Change representation of the binary domain
- Bitwise operator --
- Attribute [generated] for generated code (makes the compiler issue less warnings)
PFC
- webView2Cotrol and webView2_api for support of Microsoft Edge webView2 control
- direct2DControlSupport for implementing drawing using Direct 2D, Direct Write and Windows Imaging Component
- random number generator (in an object), whose state can be serialized/deserialized.
- Master/slave suppor packages
- pipe_api more kinds of anonymous pipes (notably asynchronous ones).
- topLevelContainerWindow::setBackgroundColor Set the background color of dialogs and forms and their controls (i.e. standard windows controls)
IDE

- IDE and builder now run in master/slave mode. Where a number of compilers are being run as child processes, which the IDE/builder communicates with through communication pipes. See wiki articles above.
- Disassembler intermixed with source
- Improve predicate and closure values
