    Dear All,

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

    - Enhanced library(compat):
    We introduced a new built-in occurs_check/2.
    The predicate could be bootstrapped from
    unify_with_occurs_check/2 via occurs_check(V,T)
    :- \+ unify_with_occurs_check(V, T). But
    tapping into the native check gives better performance.

    - Enhanced library(math):
    We introduced sqrtrem/3 and isqrt/2 built-ins,
    for integer square root. The former is a predicate
    that also computes a reminder, and the later is
    an evaluable predicate, that suppresses the reminder.

    - New Railgun CLP:
    What began as a sport in December 2025 to explore
    a constraint solver that only uses ISO core
    standard Prolog. Is now a full project with
    iterative milestones. In this release we provide
    the basic vocabulary of CLP(FD), and an enhanced
    solver that uses min/max based partial consistency.

    Have Fun!
