6 years agoADDED: Logo.
Markus Triska [Tue, 26 May 2020 17:23:33 +0000 (19:23 +0200)]
ADDED: Logo.

Motivation and considerations:

- A Scryer certainly needs a raven. Ravens are among the most
  intelligent animals on earth.
- When writing Prolog programs, a few strokes are often enough.
- Purple is the colour most associated with magic and royalty,
  indicating the almost surreal and pure features provided by Scryer,
  in the lineage of Marseille Prolog.
- The shape of the silhouette looks a bit like an "S" for "Scryer".
- A square which surrounds the image is traditionally associated with
  finishing a proof (square, Latin "quadratum", has the same starting
  letters as "quod erat demonstrandum").

I call this raven: *Cryer*. Cryer is an archaic spelling for "crier",
an officer who makes public announcements in a court of justice.
The Prolog top-level likewise makes announcements about what is true.

remove several mentions of list of bytes in predicate descriptions

This is to focus more on the intended core representation of text: In
Prolog, text is ideally represented as a list of characters, and this
is what we want to encourage, especially given Scryer's compact
representation for strings.

For the time being, library(crypto) still also supports lists of bytes in
several predicates. This will likely be removed at some point in the
future. Please use lists of characters to make your code future-proof.
