Hi Ian,
thanks for the kind words.

Correct. A lot of the issues you mention are related to the fact that
we are currently at the same time moving from svn to git, moving all
the repositories and the continuous integration system to new servers,
and same time moving our servers to a new building --very brave! As a
result we are not generating daily releases during the move and fixes
are thus not being reflected. This move should be over soon however
and things should get back to normal.
> 1) Is there public (read-only) access to the source repository?
Not currently, but we will set it up shortly for the new git repo.
> 2) Have there been recent changes in trunk that may address
> compilation issues for experimental features?
Yes, we are always working on the system and there are always fixes
(and bugs of course ;-)). In particular we have just fixed the CHR bug
related to mutables that you pointed out.
> 3) In the case of (2 and not 1), would someone be kindly enough to cut
> a new source package based from the latest revision?
Will do as soon as we can...
> 4) Would you like me to provide more detailed info about the errors?
Please do send them: they are most helpful.
Thanks again for all your feedback!

LOPSTR'13
23rd International Symposium on
Logic-Based Program Synthesis and Transformation
LOPSTR 2013
http://www.utdallas.edu/~gupta/lopstr
Madrid, Spain, September 18-20, 2013
DEADLINE: Paper submission: June 24, 2013
============================================================
The aim of the LOPSTR series is to stimulate and promote international
research and collaboration on logic-based program development. LOPSTR
is open to contributions in logic-based program development in any
language paradigm. LOPSTR has a reputation for being a lively,
friendly forum for presenting and discussing work in progress. Formal
proceedings are produced only after the symposium so that authors can
incorporate this feedback in the published papers.
The 23rd International Symposium on Logic-based Program Synthesis and
Transformation (LOPSTR 2013) will be held in Madrid, Spain; previous
symposia were held in Leuven, Hagenberg, Coimbra, Valencia, Lyngby, Venice,
London, Verona, Uppsala, Madrid, Paphos, London, Venice, Manchester,
Leuven, Stockholm, Arnhem, Pisa, Louvain-la-Neuve, Manchester and
Odense (you might have a look at the contents of past LOPSTR
symposia). LOPSTR 2013 will be co-located with PPDP 2013
(International ACM SIGPLAN Symposium on Principles and Practice of
Declarative Programming).
Topics of interest cover all aspects of logic-based program
development, all stages of the software life cycle, and issues of both
programming-in-the-small and programming-in-the-large. Both full
papers and extended abstracts describing applications in these areas
are especially welcome. Contributions are welcome on all aspects of
logic-based program development, including, but not limited to:
* specification
* verification
* analysis
* specialization
* composition
* certification
* transformational techniques in SE
* synthesis
* transformation
* optimisation
* inversion
* program/model manipulation
* security
* applications and tools
Survey papers, that present some aspect of the above topics from a new
perspective, and application papers, that describe experience with
industrial applications, are also welcome.
Papers must describe original work, be written and presented in
English, and must not substantially overlap with papers that have been
published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal,
conference, or workshop with refereed proceedings. Work that already
appeared in unpublished or informally published workshop proceedings
may be submitted (please contact the PC chair in case of questions).
Proceedings
The formal post-conference proceedings will be published by Springer
in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.
Important Dates
Paper submission: June 24, 2013
Notification (for pre-proceedings): July 24, 2013
Camera-ready (for pre-proceedings): August 5, 2013
Symposium: September 18-20, 2013
Submissions must be formatted in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science
style. They cannot exceed 15 pages including references but excluding
well-marked appendices not intended for publication. Referees are not
required to read the appendices, and thus papers should be
intelligible without them.
Full papers can be directly accepted for publication in the formal
proceedings to be published by Springer in the LNCS series or accepted
only for presentation at the symposium. After the symposium, all
authors of extended abstracts and full papers accepted only for
presentation will be invited to revise and/or extend their submissions
in the light of the feedback solicited at the symposium. Then, after
another round of reviewing, these revised papers may also be published
in the formal proceedings.
Authors should submit an electronic copy of the paper (written in
English) in PDF or Postscript (Level 2). Each submission must include
on its first page the paper title; authors and their affiliations;
contact author's email; abstract; and three to four keywords. The
keywords will be used to assist us in selecting appropriate reviewers
for the paper. If electronic submission is impossible, please contact
the program chair for information on how to submit hard copies.
Papers should be submitted to the submission website for LOPSTR 2013.

Last Call for papers
15th International Symposium on
Principles and Practice of Declarative Programming
PPDP 2013
Special Issue of Science of Computer Programming (SCP)
Madrid, Spain, September 16-18, 2013
(co-located with LOPSTR 2013)
http://users.ugent.be/~tschrijv/PPDP2013/
======================================================================
PPDP 2013 is a forum that brings together researchers from the declarative
programming communities, including those working in the logic, constraint
and
functional programming paradigms, but also embracing a variety of other
paradigms such as visual programming, executable specification languages,
database languages, and knowledge representation languages.
The goal is to stimulate research in the use of logical formalisms and
methods
for specifying, performing, and analysing computations, including mechanisms
for mobility, modularity, concurrency, object-orientation, security,
verification and static analysis. Papers related to the use of declarative
paradigms and tools in industry and education are especially solicited.
Topics
of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Functional programming
* Logic programming
* Answer-set programming
* Functional-logic programming
* Declarative visual languages
* Constraint Handling Rules
* Parallel implementation and concurrency
* Monads, type classes and dependent type systems
* Declarative domain-specific languages
* Termination, resource analysis and the verification of declarative
programs
* Transformation and partial evaluation of declarative languages
* Language extensions for security and tabulation
* Probabilistic modelling in a declarative language and modelling reactivity
* Memory management and the implementation of declarative systems
* Practical experiences and industrial application
This year the conference will be co-located with the 23nd International
Symposium on Logic-Based Program Synthesis and Transformation (LOPSTR 2013)
and
held in cooperation with ACM SIGPLAN. The conference will be held in
Madrid,
Spain. Previous symposia were held at Leuven (Belgium), Odense (Denmark),
Hagenberg (Austria), Coimbra (Portugal), Valencia (Spain), Wroclaw (Poland),
Venice (Italy), Lisboa (Portugal), Verona (Italy), Uppsala (Sweden),
Pittsburgh
(USA), Florence (Italy), Montreal (Canada), and Paris (France).
Papers must describe original work, be written and presented in English, and
must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that
are
simultaneously submitted to a journal, conference, or workshop with refereed
proceedings. Work that already appeared in unpublished or informally
published
workshop proceedings may be submitted (please contact the PC chair in case
of
questions). Proceedings will be published in the ACM International
Conference
Proceedings Series.
After the symposium, a selection of the best papers will be invited to
extend
their submissions in the light of the feedback solicited at the symposium.
The
papers are expected to include at least 30% extra material over and above
the
PPDP version. Then, after another round of reviewing, these revised papers
will
be published in a special issue of SCP with a target publication date by
Elsevier of 2014.

Dear Giacoma,
thanks for the report, we will look into it as soon possible. To help
us reproduce the problem, can you tell us exactly which version of
Ciao you are using? Did you install from the source (i.e., .tar.gz) or
you used the mac installer (.dmg)?
Cheers,

WLPE 2013 - CALL FOR PAPERS
Workshop on Logic-based Methods in
Programming Environments
(satellite workshop of ICLP 2013)
24-25 August 2013
Istanbul, Turkey
http://clip.dia.fi.upm.es/Conferences/WLPE13/
-----------------------------------------------------------
The workshop aims at providing an informal meeting for researchers
working on logic-based tools for development and analysis of programs.
In addition to papers describing more conceptual work on environmental
tools, we solicit papers describing the implementation of and
experimentation with such tools.
We hope to attain the same friendly atmosphere as in past workshops, which
enabled fruitful exchanges leading to joint research and subsequent
publications.
Areas particularly relevant to the workshop include:
* static and dynamic analysis
* debugging and testing
* program verification and validation
* code generation from specifications
* termination and non-termination analysis
* reasoning on occurs-check freeness and determinacy
* frameworks and resources for sharing in the logic programming community
* profiling and performance analysis
* type- and mode analysis
* shape, point-to and escape analysis
* module systems
* optimization tools
* program understanding
* refactoring
* logical meta-languages
Note that this list is not exhaustive and, if you are interested in
taking part in the workshop but unsure if your work falls within its
scope, do contact the organisers who will be happy to advise.
The 23rd Workshop on Logic-based methods in Programming Environments
will take place in Istanbul, Turkey, as a satellite workshop of ICLP
2013, the 29th International Conference on Logic Programming. This
workshop will continue the series of successful international
workshops on logic programming environments held in Ohio, USA (1989),
Eilat, Israel (1990), Paris, France (1991), Washington, USA (1992),
Vancouver, Canada (1993), Santa Margherita Ligure, Italy (1994),
