(New help facility): Add blurb about "(help (my module))" support.

[bpt/guile.git] / ChangeLog

2001-04-27  Rob Browning  <rlb@cs.utexas.edu>

	* GUILE-VERSION (GUILE_MINOR_VERSION): change to 5.0, switching to
	the new odd/even ustable/stable version numbering scheme.
	(LIBGUILEQTHREADS_MAJOR_VERSION): change to 10 to match Debian and
	libguile.  In the future, libguile and libguileqthreads may not
	stay in sync.  This still doesn't appear to affect
	libguileqthreads, but we'll fix that next.

2001-04-25  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

	* configure.in: Don't treat srfi directory specially, just create
	the Makefile there (thanks to Neil Jerram for the patch).

2001-04-23  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

	* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Added `srfi'.

	* configure.in: Added subdirectory `srfi' to build process.

	* libguile.h: Added inclusion of `values.h'.

2001-04-22  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* configure.in: check for inet_pton and inet_ntop.

2001-04-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* acconfig.h: include HAVE_SIN6_SCOPE_ID.
	* configure.in: check for sin6_scope_id in sockaddr_in6.

2001-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>

	* RELEASE: Added deprecated macro SCM_ARRAY_CONTIGUOUS

2001-04-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* configure.in: run the autoconf BIGENDIAN check.

2001-04-12  Niibe Yutaka  <gniibe@m17n.org>

	* GUILE-VERSION (LIBGUILEQTHREADS_MAJOR_VERSION,
	LIBGUILEQTHREADS_MINOR_VERSION, LIBGUILEQTHREADS_REVISION_VERSION,
	LIBGUILEQTHREADS_VERSION): Added libguileqthreads version info.

	* configure.in: Likewise.

2001-04-11  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>

	* configure.in (AC_CHECK_FUNCS): Don't check bzero.
	(GUILE_FUNC_DECLARED): Removed checking of bzero.
	Thanks to NIIBE Yutaka.

2001-04-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>

	* Undeprecated scm_init_oop_goopscore_module.

2001-03-25  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>

	* check-guile.in: Fix sh standard conformance bug: Replace
	"test -e" with "test -f".  Thanks to Alexander Klimov.

2001-03-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* check-guile.in: rename $parent to $srcdir.  if it's equal to "."
	set it to `pwd`.

	* check-guile.in: 16 documentation tests were failing if "make
	check" was run before Guile had been installed with the current
	--prefix.  made various changes to the script so that it runs
	without a cd to the test-suite directory.  For the -i option,
	don't point GUILE_LOAD_PATH to the current directory, but let it
	use it's own scheme library.

2001-03-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* check-guile.in: use @srcdir@ instead of @test_suite_dir@.  use
	the current directory (build dir) not srcdir to find guile
	executable.  otherwise "make check" doesn't work with a separate
	build directory.  create the test log in
	$build_dir/check-guile.log instead of in srcdir/test-suite
	directory.
	* configure.in: don't define or substitute test_suite_dir.

2001-03-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* configure.in: don't append threads.doc to EXTRA_DOT_DOC_FILES,
	since EXTRA_DOT_DOC_FILES is redefined later.  define
	EXTRA_DOT_X_FILES and hand it to AC_SUBST.

2001-03-09  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

	* configure.in: Added header checks for crypt.h, sys/resource.h
	and sys/file.h, function checks for chroot, flock, getlogin,
	cuserid, getpriority, setpriority, getpass, sethostname,
	gethostname, and for crypt() in libcrypt.

2001-03-09  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

	* configure.in (htmldoc): Merge handling of `--enable-htmldoc'
	option from guile-doc/configure.in.

2001-03-06  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* libguile.h: Removed #include "libguile/dump.h".

2001-02-02  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>

	* libguile.h: Added #include "libguile/dump.h".

2001-01-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus.mit.edu>

	* libguile.h: Added #include "libguile/rdelim.h".

2001-01-26  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	version number to 10 due to the merge of GOOPS.

	* oop: New directory.

2000-09-20  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>

	* libguile.h: #include "libguile/properties.h".

2000-09-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* configure.in, acconfig.h: remove the GCSE test: it doesn't seem
	to be reliable on all platforms.

2000-08-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* acconfig.h: added BROKEN_GCSE.
	* configure.in: check for a gcc GCSE optimisation bug.

2000-07-31  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* acconfig.h: added HAVE_H_ERRNO
	* configure.in: removed some dnl'd & obsolete cygwin stuff.

	* Guile 1.4 released.

2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

	* configure.in (EXTRA_DOT_DOC_FILES): Create from LIBOBJS and
	substitute it into libguile/Makefile.

	* HACKING: Updated recommended libtool version to be 1.3.5.

	* RELEASE: Say that we should update HACKING to reflect the
	versions of the tools we're using rather than README.

2000-06-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

	* NOTES: Removed.

	* TODO: Moved to devel/.

2000-06-01  Craig Brozefsky  <craig@red-bean.com>

	* GUILE-VERSION: added defnitions for LIBGUILE_MAJOR_VERSION,
	LIBGUILE_MINOR_VERSION, LIBGUILE_REVISION_VERSION so that we now
	define libguile.so version in a well-lit place.

	* configure.in: added AC_SUBST lines for the new LIBGUILE version
	variables.

2000-06-01  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>

	* autogen.sh: call ./guile-aclocal.sh instead of aclocal.

2000-05-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* Makefile.am: add include_HEADERS.
	libguile.h: moved from libguile directory.  maybe libguile.h should

	* qthreads.m4: Removed THREADS_CPPFLAGS.

	* acinclude.m4: Removed qthreads macros.  They are provided in

	* configure.in: New --enable-debug-malloc configuration option.

2000-03-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

	* acconfig.h (GUILE_PTHREAD_COMPAT): New config variable.

	* configure.in: Enable workaround for COOP-linuxthreads
	compatibility on Linux systems.

2000-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

	* devel: New directory.  Intended to carry documentation related
	to Guile development (as opposed to the doc directory which
	contains documentation related to the use of the current Guile).
	This directory (devel) is not included in the Guile distribution,
	but is accessible via anonymous CVS.

2000-01-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* autogen.sh: Call libtoolize.  Pass --add-missing option to
	automake.  Do not decent into libltdl directory.  The libltdl
	directory is now populated by libtoolize and does not need any
	further autogeneration.

2000-01-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* configure.in: check for fchown.

Tue Jan 18 12:55:15 2000  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@r11n07-s.pdc.kth.se>

	to HACKING.  Updated recommended libtool version to be 1.3.4.

2000-01-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* configure.in: needs to have --disable-networking, not
	--disable-net.

2000-01-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* libltdl/acconfig.h: New file: Needed by autogen.sh.

Tue Jan 11 13:42:35 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* autogen.sh: Added messages as we run autogen in subdirectories.

	chmod +x it.

2000-01-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* libltdl/autogen.sh: New file.
	* autogen.sh: Invoke libltdl/autogen.sh.

2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	Finally applied the libltdl patch from Thomas Tanner, with slight
	modifications.  All code copied from the libtool package is from
	libtool-1.3.4.

	* configure.in: Make "--with-modules=yes" the default.  Do not
	clear INCLTDL, LIBLTDL prior to processing "--with-modules".

	      (no need to install libtool any more)
	    * configure.in: replace --enable-dynamic-linking with
	      --with-modules, required modules can be specified using
	      --with-modules="/path/to/mod.la" and will be linked
	      statically on platforms that don't support dynamic loading,
	      configure libltdl, configure libtool for dlopening
	    * libltdl: added using libtoolize -c --ltdl

2000-01-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* configure.in: check whether localtime caches TZ.  copied from
	Emacs 20.5.
	* acconfig.h: add LOCALTIME_CACHE.

Tue Dec 14 09:12:22 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* configure.in: Make it be guile-snarf.awk, since we'll be
	switching names for guile-doc-snarf.  (I wouldn't have changed
	this, but I was getting ready to commit this way when the below
	change was committed).

1999-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* configure.in: Create guile-doc-snarf.awk.

1999-12-12  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

1999-12-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>

	* configure.in (CFLAGS): don't add -Wpointer-arith, since it
	causes numerous spurious warnings with recent gcc and/or glibc
	versions.

1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>

	* acconfig.h: add HAVE_ARRAYS.

	* configure.in: add --disable-arrays option, probably temporary.

1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>

	* configure.in: check for hstrerror.

1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>

	* autogen.sh: Don't call autoreconf at all; it's not reliable.
	Instead, call the various tools explicitly.  Invoke
	guile-readline's autogen.sh script.

	Straighten up the situation regarding guile.m4 and qthreads.m4.

	We can't have .m4 files which are installed where aclocal can
	see them, but also used by guile's own configure.in, because
	aclocal will read both copies, complain about duplicate macro
	definitions, and refuse to generate aclocal.m4 at all.  This
	happens if you invoke it as `aclocal -I .', as autoreconf does.
	This is probably a flaw in the autotools, but Guile doesn't need
	that flaw fixed immediately.

	guile.m4 is intended for use by people linking against guile, so
	it needs to be installed.  But Guile itself doesn't use it.  So
	move guile.m4 into guile-config.  That makes sense, since
	guile.m4's GUILE_FLAGS macro is just an easy way to call
	guile-config.

	qthreads.m4 is indented to help configure a qthreads tree.  It's
	only useful to a package which actually includes a qthreads tree,
	and it's intimately related to that tree, so it's not useful to
	install this.  So don't install it.

	* guile.m4: Moved to guile-config.
	* Makefile.am (aclocaldir, aclocal_DATA): Delete.
	(EXTRA_DIST): Move qthreads.m4 here.

	Don't store generated files in the repository any more.  Instead,
	require people to run autogen.sh on trees from snapshots and CVS.
	* Makefile.in, aclocal.m4, configure: Deleted.
	* autogen.sh: New file.
	* ANON-CVS, SNAPSHOTS: Updated instructions.

1999-10-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>

	* acconfig.h (HAVE_POSIX, HAVE_NETWORKING): Add comments.

1999-09-27  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* configure.in:  Added --enable-debug-freelist option.

	* acconfig.h: Added GUILE_DEBUG_FREELIST.

1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>

	* acconfig.h: add HAVE_POSIX, HAVE_NETWORKING.  remove FD_SETTER,
	FILE_CNT_FIELD, FILE_CNT_GPTR, FILE_CNT_READPTR.

	* configure.in: new options --disable-posix, --disable-net
	and --disable-regex
	export HAVE_POSIX and HAVE_NETWORKING definitions.
	don't add regex-posix.o to LIBOBJS if regex disabled.

	LIBOBJS: add filesys.c, posix.c, net_db.c, socket.c,
	conditionally.

1999-09-25  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>

	* Guile 1.3.4 released.

1999-09-22  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>

	* configure: Regenerated.

1999-09-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>

	* configure.in: check availability of siginterrupt.

	* configure.in: Use AC_REPLACE_FUNCS to grab libguile/memmove.c if
	the system doesn't have memmove.  Don't test for memmove and bcopy
	with AC_CHECK_FUNCS.
	* configure: Regenerated.

1999-08-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
