Dear All,

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

- Multi Measurement:
   The library(runner) was enhanced to be
able to perform multiple measurements when
used as a benchmark harness. This feature
can for example be used to measure execution
time and garbage collection time, provided
the Prolog system offers such a statistics/2 key.

- JDK 21 Bytecode:
   Like we were phasing out formerly Jekejeke
Prolog we are currently also phasing out
JDK 8 Bytecode. There is a grace period
but the transition to JDK 21 Bytecode is
already seen in the new artefacts index9.zip
and dogelog9.zip for the Dogelog Player
on the Java platform.

- Generational GC:
   The garbage collector of Dogelog Player
was enhanced to have a more refined triggering
and to also use a faster generational variant
when appropriate. This was implemented for
all target platforms and we see performance
gains Java 42%, JavaScript 51% and Python 61%.

Have Fun!
