[bpt/guile.git] / ice-9 / ChangeLog

2001-02-16  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* boot-9.scm (eval-when, eval-case): Renamed `eval-when' to
	`eval-case', everywhere.

2001-02-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* boot-9.scm (define-public): Removed spurious call to
	`interaction-evironment'.
	(define-public, defmacro-public): Use `export' instead of explicit
	module magic.
	(eval-when): New macro.
	(define-module, use-modules, use-syntax, export): Use it to
	restrict the use of these forms to the top level.
	(define-public, defmacro-public): Only export binding when on
	top-level.
	(process-define-module): Call `set-current-module' with the
	defined module.
	(define-module): Simply call `process-define-module' without any
	fuss (but only on top-level).
	(named-module-use!): New function.
	(top-repl): Do not use `define-module'.  Use equivalent low-level
	means instead.
	
2001-02-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): Use `primitive-eval' instead of
	`eval'.
	(define-public): Do not use `eval'.

2001-02-08  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

	* and-let-star-compat.scm: Display the warning to the
	`current-error-port'.
	
2001-02-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	Avoid the use of "*" in file names for the benefit of lesser
	operating systems.
	
	* and-let-star.scm, and-let*.scm: Renamed `and-let*.scm' to
	`and-let-star.scm'.  Updated module name as well.
	* and-let-star-compat.scm: New file, installed as `and-let*.scm'.
	* Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced "and-let*.scm" with
	"and-let-star.scm".
	(install-data-local): Install "and-let-star-compat.scm" as
	"and-let*.scm", ignoring errors.
	(EXTRA_DIST): Distribute `and-let-star-compat.scm'.
	
2001-01-26  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	This patch fixes a problem reported by Martin Grabmueller about
	the impossibility to access readline's run-time options.

	* boot-9.scm (define-option-interface):  New macro.  Allows to
	conveniently define a group of option interface functions.

	(readline-options readline-enable readline-disable,
	readline-set!):  Moved to guile-readline/readline.scm.

2001-01-24  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* boot-9.scm: don't import (ice-9 rdelim) here.  it's done
	in C for now.
	* rdelim.scm: export the C primitives too.
	* documentation.scm: use (ice-9 rdelim).

2001-01-21  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* rdelim.scm: new file implementing module (ice-9 rdelim).
	* ice-9.scm (scm-line-incrementors read-line! read-delimited!
	read-delimited read-line): moved to rdelim.scm.
	scm-line-incrementors is not exported.
	* boot-9.scm: import (ice-9 rdelim) for backwards compatibility,
	for now.
	* lineio.scm: use module (ice-9 rdelim).
	* Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add rdelim.scm.

2000-12-29  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
	calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
	basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
	After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
	'(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
	binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
	for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.

2000-12-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* session.scm (apropos):  Completed the last patch, which did only
	half the job.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith.

2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  There are no weak bindings
	any more.

2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* boot-9.scm (top-repl):  Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
	the-root-module.

2000-12-07  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

	* emacs.scm (flush-whitespace): Fix spelling typo ("recieving").

2000-11-28  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
	(make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
	match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
	(slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
	split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,
	split-before-char-last, split-discarding-char-last,
	split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
	split-discarding-predicate, separate-fields-discarding-char,
	separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char,
	string-prefix-predicate, sans-surrounding-whitespace,
	sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
	sans-final-newline):  Use substring instead of
	make-shared-substring.

2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
	removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
	the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
	*values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
	scm-style-repl.

2000-11-07  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
	and open-output-pipe.

2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
	close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
	it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
	in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
	method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
	Pirotte for the bug report).
	standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
	are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.
	
2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* syncase.scm (eval):  string=? requires a string argument.
	Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the patch.

2000-10-15  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

	* optargs.scm: Fix typos in commentary for bound? and lambda*.

2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* session.scm (apropos, apropos-fold):  regexp-exec does not
	accept symbol arguments any more.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the
	patch.

2000-09-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* posix.scm (setgrent): pass #t, not #f.  thanks to
	Jacques A. Vidrine.

2000-09-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

	* documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
	according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
	snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.

	* session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
	friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
	matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
	entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
	actual documentation entries themselves.

2000-09-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm: Removed comment.  (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)

2000-09-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* syncase.scm (putprop):  Use the high-level property interface.

2000-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>

	* psyntax.ss (build-lexical-var): Use gentemp instead of gensym;
	Convert first argument to a string.

	* calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax,
	getter-and-setter-syntax,
	delegating-getter-and-setter-syntax): Call gensym with string
	argument.  (Thanks to Dale P. Smith.)

	* oldprint.scm (print-table-add!): Ditto.

	* boot-9.scm (gentemp): Moved to symbols.c.

2000-08-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* boot-9.scm (make-object-property): New function.

2000-08-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>

	* boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `string-append' instead of
	`symbol-append'.
	(symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
	args.
	(obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
	think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
	even worked...  /mdj.
	(find-and-link-dynamic-module, keyword->symbol): Use
	`symbol->string'.
	(try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
	semantics.

2000-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* psyntax.ss (set!): Added generalized set! support to core syntax
	form set!.

2000-08-19  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* optargs.scm (#\&): Changed #:allow-other-keys-value to
	#:allow-other-keys.  Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt!

2000-08-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* optargs.scm (#\&): Emit warning about `#&' being deprecated.

2000-08-16  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* optargs.scm: Replaced `#&' reader syntax with keywords.

2000-08-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* format.scm (format:obj->str): Made tail-recursive.  (Thanks to
