Language
- Object expressions
- Allow a clause for apicall predicate resolved externally from DLL and call it if the corresponding entry is not found in a DLL
- Allow attribute [inline] for Prolog predicate types
- 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 support packages, see Master/slave processes.
- 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
- Dialog editor and generation by parsing the code in the generated section (instead of using .dlg, .frm and .ctl files).
- 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 Master/slave processes.
- Disassembler intermixed with source
- Improve predicate and closure values
Examples
- webView2Demo
- direct2DDemo
- Master/slave demo
