13.15.3 Other Changes

• The following I/O predicates are now several times faster: put_code/[1,2], put_byte/[1,2], get_code/[1,2], peek_code/[1,2], get_byte/[1,2], peek_byte/[1,2], and read_line/[1,2].
• Exceptions used internally by built-in predicates and library(timeout) are now transparent to on_exception/3 and catch/3 as well as to debugger ports.
• JASPER: When creating a se.sics.sicstus.SICStus instance any (Java) system property named se.sics.sicstus.property.NAME will be passed to the created SICStus instance as the (Prolog) system property NAME.
• CLPFD: scalar_product/[4,5] is less prone to integer overflows, and faster in the most common cases.
• Linux: The installer script would sometimes fail to configure support for Java.
