Version 0.25.0 of package Sweeprolog has just been released in NonGNU ELPA.
You can now find it in M-x list-packages RET.
Sweeprolog describes itself as:
===================
Embedded SWI-Prolog
===================

## Summary:
Sweep is an embedding of SWI-Prolog in Emacs. It uses the C
interfaces of both SWI-Prolog and Emacs Lisp to let you query
Prolog directly from Elisp. On top of this tight integration,
Sweep provides an advanced development environment for SWI-Prolog
in Emacs.

Version 0.25.0 on 2023-09-17
════════════════════════════
Snappier query highlighting in Sweep top-levels
───────────────────────────────────────────────
Sweep now highlights the query you insert in the top-level immediately
as you type it. In previous versions, query highlighting relied on a
short timer, that could lead to a small delay before Sweep would
update the highlighting when you change the query.
Sweep top-levels can now communicate via pty instead of local TCP
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Sweep top-level buffers can now communicate with their corresponding
top-level threads via a pseudo-terminal (pty) device, instead of a
local TCP connection. Local TCP connections remain supported for
systems where Emacs cannot use a pty, such as MS Windows. On Unix
systems, top-levels now use pty by default.
Compatibility with and support for Prettify Symbols mode
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Sweep Prolog mode is now compatible with the Prettify Symbols minor
mode. Prettify Symbols mode, and similar features, rely on
`font-lock-add-keywords' to add highlighting patterns. Sweep does not
use Font Lock keywords for its highlighting, but now it does invoke
the relevant Font Lock keyword highlighting routines for compatibility
with minor modes such as Prettify Symbols.
Minor improvements to hole highlighting
───────────────────────────────────────
Sweep now uses a slightly smaller “box” around holes to highlight them
in Prolog code, such that holes are displayed with the same dimensions
of any other text. This avoids small visual jitter when inserting or
removing holes in a buffer.
Version 0.24.1 on 2023-09-09
════════════════════════════
Refine checks for extracting goals to separate predicates
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Sweep now checks that the selected region is a goal at a callable
position, rather than a data term, before suggesting to extract the
region to a separate predicate in `sweeprolog-insert-term-dwim'
(`M-RET') and in the right-click context menu.
Version 0.24.0 on 2023-09-08
════════════════════════════
New command `sweeprolog-extract-region-to-predicate'
────────────────────────────────────────────────────
This command lets you select a part of the body of a clause and
extract it into a separate predicate. The command
`sweeprolog-insert-term-dwim' (`M-RET') now invokes
`sweeprolog-extract-region-to-predicate' if the region is active.
Version 0.23.1 on 2023-08-30
════════════════════════════
Documentation improvements and minor bug fixes
──────────────────────────────────────────────
This is a maintenance release, including a rewrite of the Sweep manual
in Texinfo format along with some minor bug fixes and improvements.
Version 0.23.0 on 2023-08-18
════════════════════════════
Sweep now requires Compat, the forward-compatibility library for Elisp
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
This version introduces a dependency of Sweep on Compat, the
forward-compatibility library for Elisp available from GNU ELPA.
Compat provides implementations of newer Elisp functions and features
for older Emacs versions, and Sweep now makes use of it for improved
backward compatibility and ease of maintenance.
Version 0.22.2 on 2023-08-14
════════════════════════════
Fix potential crash due to a collision between Xwidgets and XPCE
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
This version fixes an issue that could cause Emacs to crash during
certain Sweep operations if Emacs is built with Xwidgets and
SWI-Prolog is built with XPCE.
Fix feedback in `sweeprolog-set-prolog-flag' and `sweeprolog-set-pack-install'
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
In previous versions, these commands could report failure even when
they in fact succeeded. This version fixes the feedback these
commands provide.
Version 0.22.1 on 2023-08-07
════════════════════════════
New command `sweeprolog-submit-bug-report'
──────────────────────────────────────────
Use this command to contact the Sweep maintainers directly from within
Emacs. It has been documented in the manual already since version
0.6, but its implementation was unintentionally omitted.
