   Mild Shock to All   
   ANN: Dogelog Player 1.2.1 (Lite Notebook

   Dear All,   
      
   We are happy to announce a new edition   
   of the Dogelog player:   
      
   - Native Sorting:   
      Our efforts to deliver faster sorting in 100% Prolog   
   have come to nothing.  So we decided to implement sort/2   
   and keysort/2 natively for the different target platforms.   
   This new sorting is competitive with other Prolog systems.   
      
   - Metronome Collector:   
      What we hadn't taken into account was that the native   
   sorting requires fewer variable instantiations, which then   
   messed up our garbage collection trigger conditions so that   
   garbage was left behind.  We were finally able to solve the   
   problem with a better metronome garbage collector.   
      
   - Lite Notebooks:   
      Our original idea was to replicate Knuth’s idea of   
   literate programming for the web. Diverting slightly from   
   the batch processing approach, we recently arrived at a new   
   more online approach of lite notebooks. We view HTML pages   
   with a simple Prolog code embedding as pre-elements as the   
   primary source. These pages are amenable to any HTML tooling.   
      
   Have Fun!
