    Dear All,

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

    - Dot Notation:
    We borrowed from formerly Jekejeke Prolog
    optionable custom binary forms. An operator
    declaration such as op(100, yfx, '.') does
    now parse and unparse the dot notation A.B
    as '$DOT'(A,B). Avoiding a functor clash
    with the consing notation [A|B]. The
    implementation is 100% Prolog, and thus
    uniformly available for the JavaScript,
    Python and Java target.

    - Arrow Notation:
    We borrowed from formerly Jekejeke Prolog
    optionable custom variadic forms. An operator
    declaration such as op(700, xfx, '=>') does
    now parse and unparse the arrow notation
    (P => G) as '$ANON'(H,K,B,...). Compared to
    library(lambda), it leads to more efficient
    single step reductions inside the new
    library(arrow). Again uniformly available
    for the JavaScript, Python and Java target.

    - DCG phrase/3:
    This was a gap that slipped our attention.
    It turns out that Dogelog Player didn't have
    DCG phrase/3, although it had already
    DCG (-->)/2. Luckily the step from (-->)/2
    to phrase/3 is relatively small and this
    release features this predicate. Turns out it
    can be used for Strudel style music coding.

    Have Fun!
