18 2007-10-02 Ludovic Courtès <ludo@gnu.org>
20 * slib.texi (SLIB installation): Don't recommend using the site

92 section, documented new i18n features. Added the following

121 for scm_set_program_arguments.
123 * posix.texi (Runtime Environment): Expand program-arguments

264 (backtrace) to get ..." which overflowed the line in both info and

1400 first time 'round (like me). Make graphical indicators samples,
1401 not code. Put results of evaluation on the same line as @result
1402 symbols. Use @print example as example of total usage, and remind
1403 readers not to forget the difference.
1405 2003-11-17 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>

1520 line break obscuring it.
1522 2003-08-30 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
1524 * data-rep.texi (Remembering During Operations): Note
1525 scm_remember_upto_here_1 applies only to C automatic variables.

1593 since it's not very helpful.
1595 * scheme-utility.texi (Property Primitives): In primitive-property-ref,
1596 note parameters to not-found-proc, use hyphens rather than underscores
1597 for that parameter name.

1680 From Mike Gran <spikegran@earthlink.net>. Thanks!
1682 * preface.texi: Minor punctuation mistakes. Hyphens should link
1683 compound adjectives. Commas should be placed after a "therefore"
1684 that begins a sentence. Commas should not be used to separate a
1685 list of only 2 dependent clauses.
1687 2003-06-07 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
1689 * scheme-data.texi (Arithmetic): Cross reference glibc floor and ceil.

2559 interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
2560 Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
2561 `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
2562 documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
2563 including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
2564 to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...

2661 The change log for files in this directory continues backwards
2662 from 2001-08-27 in ../ChangeLog, as all the Guile documentation
2663 prior to this date was contained in a single directory.
