SICStus Prolog Release Notes

On Windows, the name of the static SICStus run-time has changed from sprt310.lib to sprt310_static.lib. At the same time the import library for the dynamic SICStus run-time has changed to sprt310.lib. This change should only affect those that do not use spld to build executables.
On Windows it is not longer possible to link with the SICStus run-time using MS Visual Studio 5. This has been unsupported for years but now it has really ceased to work.
On Windows the windowed version of SICStus will put up a license entry dialog if the license has expired or is invalid. There is also a menu item for changing the license, e.g. when changing from a time limited license to a permanent license. This renders splm obsolete on Windows.
The Visual Basic interface no longer loads any supporting Prolog code, i.e. vbsp.pl and vbsp.po are gone. A side benefit of this is that you can call restore/1 from Visual Basic, even though calling load_files/2 may be better.
