 256         * gh.texi, data-rep.texi: Moved `@deftyp {Data type} SCM' line
 257         from gh.texi to data-rep.texi.  Both files already had similar
 258         descriptions for SCM.  Given that gh.texi is deprecated, looking
 259         up `SCM' in the index should take one to the primary location
 260         rather than deprecated section.  Hence this change.  Added
 261         `@deftp' for scm_t_bits data type so that a proper index entry is
 262         added for this.  Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!

 732         that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual
 733         becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
 734         interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
 735         Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
 736         `Programming with Guile'.  This new part will contain general
 737         documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
 738         including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
 739         to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
 740         (Top): Move inclusion of scheme-indices.texi so that all indices
 741         appear together in the printed manual.

 752         * appendices.texi (Obtaining and Installing Guile): Moved to
 753         become a chapter in ...
 754         * intro.texi: ... Part I: Introduction to Guile.
 755
 756         * scm.texi (I/O Extensions): Moved to become a section of ...
