Log Message:
Update to version 4.0.7.

VERSION 4.0.7
=============

  * FIXED: stream_property/2 to report close_on_abort.  Was documented,
    but not implemented ...

  * ADDED: Informational print message when abort closes a stream.

  * ADDED: close_hook to IOSTREAM to allow setting a foreign hook on the
    closure of any stream

  * ADDED: library(memfile) to the package clib providing streams to
    memory-buffers.

  * ADDED: library(cgi) from package clib is now standard part of the
    Windows distribution.

  * ADDED: stream_property/2 and set_stream/2 set and query the buffer mode
    of existing streams.  Also added eof_action(Action) and
    close_on_abort(Bool) to set_stream/2.

  * MODIFIED: The sequence X=!, X doesn't cut any longer as this was
    in conflict with the ISO standard (Bart Demoen).

  * FIXED: Memory leak when an exception is thrown from the generator
    of findall/3, bagof/3 or setof/3.  Reported by Bart Demoen.

  * FIXED: Possible infinite loop looking for attached state.  Spotted with
    fix by Nide Naoyuki.   Thanks!

  * PORT: Added various issues to make SWI-Prolog compile on BeOS.  Thanks
    to Axel Doerfler.

  * FIXED: Make plld using -lplmt if prolog is multi-threading.  Reported
    by Sergey Tikhonov.

  * ADDED: Documentation for library(check), library(registry),
    library(netscape) and library(url).

  * ADDED: library(readutil) with some utility predicates to read larger
    units from streams and files.  Started structured documentation of
    the library in the SWI-Prolog reference manual.

  * ADDED: simple/1 to quintus compatibility library.  Also exported some
    more of the predicate-based arithmetic from there.

  * ADDED: Notes on slight but useful difference between ISO and SWI
    exception-handling to the manual of throw/1.  Thanks to Bart Demoen.

  * ENHANCED/FIXED: expand_file_name/2.  Problems when expanding to files
    holding wildcards in their name and removing the limit on matching files
    (was 1024).  Completely re-written the filesystem code.  Pattern-matching
    code is retained.

  * FIXED: include/1, reported by Sebastian Sardina.  Bug introduced in
    4.0.4.

VERSION 4.0.6
=============

  * PORT: Fixed PL_unify_term() and calls to distinguish between int and
    long.  User foreign-code that must be portable to 64-bit should verify
    their calls.

  * PORT: Fixed string-handling on 64-bit platforms.  Made the compilation
    of all tools and standard libraries fairly clean on the INTEL Itanium
    (Merced) processor using gcc and Linux.  Thanks to the SuSE team for
    providing access to their hardware.

    Make all default stack-limits a factor of the word-length

  * PORT: Included some patches from the SuSE team.

  * ENHANCED: MT-Version: install libpl.a as libplmt.a for the
    multi-threaded version.

  * FIXED: MT-Version: open xterm for thread on systems using the
    /dev/pts filesystem.  On these terminals the xterm is started
    using <basename of slave>/<descriptor>

  * FIXED: MT-Version: deadlock and corruption problem.  Modified
    mutex-structure slightly, so new problems may have been be
    introduced.
