4. Bug Fixes for End-of-File in Edlog Editor

• Fixed an issue that occurred at the end of a file when using the Edlog editor, improving stability and preventing unexpected behavior during file operations.

5. Bug Fix for abs Function

• Fixed a bug in the abs function, which returned incorrect results under certain conditions.

6. Changes to expt Function

• The exponentiation function expt has been unified under the ^ operator. The redundant ++ operator has been removed, enhancing consistency in code and allowing for more intuitive mathematical expressions.

7. save/0 Function Now Works as Specified

• The save/0 function has been fixed to operate as specified. save/0 now saves the current internal database to the startup.pl file, which will be automatically loaded when the system starts up. This ensures proper data persistence and automatic loading.

8. New edit/2 Predicate Added

• The edit/2 predicate has been added. If the second argument is r, the file is reloaded using reconsult, while c reads the file using the consult predicate. This allows for more flexible file loading options.

Future Plans

• Following this stability-focused release, we plan to continue with further feature enhancements and optimizations.
• Based on user feedback, we will address bug fixes and add new features in the next release.
