Packages

• The easiest way to obtain Python enabled clingo packages is using Anaconda. Packages are available in the Potassco channel. First install either Anaconda or Miniconda and then run: conda install -c potassco clingo.
• Packages for clingo are available in the Linux distributions Debian, Ubuntu, and Arch Linux. (For historic reasons, the clingo package is split into gringo and clasp on Ubuntu/Debian.)
• For Mac OS X, clingo packages are available in homebrew and macports.

Changes

• change C API to use numeric instead of symbolic literals
  • affects assumptions and assigning/releasing externals (breaks backward compatibility)
  • added overloads to C++, python and lua API to support both numeric and symbolic version (preserves backward compatibility for most code)
• the python, C and C++ APIs now allow for customizing clingo by implementing a custom main function but reusing the rest of the application including the standard output
• add API function to detect conflicting programs
• add message logger to python and lua interface
• add support for primes in the beginning of identifiers and variable names
• add per solver registration of watches during propagator initialization
• add a directive to selectivel suppress undefined atom warnings
• add support for user defined statistics
• add _to_c functions for python API to be able to call C functions from python
• only create ground representations for requested program parts when grounding (#71)
• improve program observer (#19)
• support for binary, octal, and hexadecimal numbers (#65)
• the backend has to be opened/closed now
• release python's GIL while grounding (#82)
• TruthValue.{True,False} becomes TruthValue.{_True,_False} in python API
• improve API and it's documentation
