SWI-Prolog Changelog from version 10.1.1 to 10.1.2

[Jan 24 2026]

  • FIXED: write_term/2: handle partial(true) for backquoted text.
  • FIXED: write_term/2 using option partial(true) to separate quoted objects. Found by Joachim Schimpf
  • DOC: write_term/2: handling of back_quotes and module options

[Jan 23 2026]

  • FIXED: write_term/3 and friends to get default back_quotes from flags.

[Jan 22 2026]

  • PORT: Better support for Homebrew dependencies (MacOS) This ensures SDL3 comes from Homebrew if both provided by Macports and Homebrew and configure maps gcc=14 to Homebrew gcc.
  • PORT: Make configure work for build.gcc=15 on MacOS. Compiler is called gcc-mp-15 and it does not support -g3.

[Jan 21 2026]

  • ENHANCED: edit/1: merging module and file. If a spec resolves to a file and module with the same name, edit the module.

[Jan 19 2026]

  • FIXED: Allow building only the core system (no packages at all). Stop installing libraries that depend on packages and do not warn if library(editline) is not present.
  • FIXED: #1436 check_installation/0: check editline, also on Windows.
  • FIXED: CpuCount() typing

[Jan 18 2026]

  • FIXED: Type issues on 32 bit platforms

[Jan 15 2026]

  • CLEANUP: Types Restore API affecting type changes of -Wconversion cleanup, introduce new integer aliases and enums to replace int with more appropriate types. Propagate these through the system (incomplete).

[Jan 10 2026]

  • CLEANUP: Make likely/unlikely silent.

[Jan 5 2026]

  • FIXED: #1431 format/2: handling ~d on gmp evaluation returning a small int.

Package archive

[Jan 22 2026]

  • CLEANUP: avoid -Wconversion warnings

Package bdb

[Jan 22 2026]

  • CLEANUP: Avoid -Wconversion warnings You might wish to check if the assertions are needed/solve a problem.

Package clib

[Jan 18 2026]

  • ENHANCE: use size_t to avoid -Wconversion errors I also added a few casts I considered safe. Dubious casts are highlighted. [Nov 20 2025]
  • DOC: minor fix in comment

Package cpp

[Jan 23 2026]

  • ENHANCED: make it easier to generate the standard form of exceptions

[Jan 22 2026]

  • CLEANUP: add more default qid=0

[Jan 21 2026]

  • CLEANUP: Plx_exception() has default qid=0

[Jan 20 2026]

  • CLEANUP: change PL_exception() to Plx_exception()

[Jan 12 2026]

  • ASAN: add comment

[Jan 9 2026]

to write into "reserved" but not initialized memory areas.

  1. Alternatively, and that may be the reason for the ASAN complaint:

buf in the outer std::string(buf, size) function is not "officially" initialized.

Package http

[Jan 25 2026]

  • ENHANCED: http_post_data/3 to raise an exception if the data is not recognised.

[Jan 22 2026]

  • CLEANUP: avoid -Wconversion warnings

Package jpl

[Jan 24 2026]

  • CLEANUP: avoid -Wconversion, improve UTF16 support On systems with wchar_t is 4 bytes (pretty much anything but Windows), convert Prolog Unicode code points > 0xffff to/from UTF-16.

Package json

[Jan 22 2026]

  • CLEANUP: avoid -Wconversion warning

Package sgml

[Jan 22 2026]

  • CLEANUP: avoid -Wconversion warnings

Package ssl

[Jan 22 2026]

  • CLEANUP: avoid -Wconversion warnings

Package table

[Jan 22 2026]

  • CLEANUP: avoid -Wconversion warnings

Package tipc

[Jan 23 2026]

  • CLEANUP: Modernise exception handling, use bool and update PlDoc
  • CLEANUP: avoid -Wconversion warnings

Package utf8proc

[Jan 22 2026]

  • CLEANUP: avoid -Wconversion warnings

Package xpce

[Jan 26 2026]

  • CLEANUP: Avoid suspicious sizeof() handling warning by clangd

[Jan 22 2026]

  • FIXED: Use `font<-average_char_width` for width computations This used to be `font<-ex`, but this is the height of the x character. This notably fixes the default width of PceEmacs windows to hold 80 characters rather than a few less (depending on the font).
  • FIXED: PceEmacs Prolog mode: find-references to avoid duplicates.

[Jan 21 2026]

  • FIXED: class text_buffer: LSP position reporting for wide-character buffers.
  • FIXED: Epilog: underline could continue in scrollbar.

[Jan 19 2026]

  • FIXED: text->underline. Underline was relative to top instead of base.

[Jan 13 2026]

  • ENHANCED: When opening one of xpce's manual tools, do not show @manual. This additional window is often needed and especially on systems that do not allow for window placement, this is annoying.

[Jan 7 2026]

  • ENHANCED: Make most errors that result from buggy program print a backtrace

[Jan 5 2026]

  • ADDED: PceEmacs: (empty) markdown mode. Allows for user extension, so we can play with markdown LSP servers.

Package yaml

[Jan 22 2026]

  • CLEANUP: avoid -Wconversion warnings
