   7
   8         * Makefile.am: attempt to use guile from $(top_builddir)/libguile

  10         modules and running makeinfo when builddir != srcdir.

 199
 200         * guile.texi (Top): A little top-level reshuffling, with the aims
 201         that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual
 202         becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
 203         interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
 204         Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
 205         `Programming with Guile'.  This new part will contain general
 206         documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
 207         including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
 208         to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
 209         (Top): Move inclusion of scheme-indices.texi so that all indices
 210         appear together in the printed manual.
 211

 218         material that used to be in appendices.texi, but now a chapter in
 219         Part II rather than an appendix.
 220
 221         * appendices.texi (Obtaining and Installing Guile): Moved to
 222         become a chapter in ...
 223         * intro.texi: ... Part I: Introduction to Guile.
 224
 225         * scm.texi (I/O Extensions): Moved to become a section of ...
 226         * scheme-io.texi (Input and Output): ... this chapter.
 227
 228         * scm.texi (Handling Errors): Moved to become a section of ...
 229         * scheme-control.texi (Control Mechanisms): ... this chapter.

 237         Time/Date/Julian Day/Modified Julian Day converters, SRFI-19 Date
 238         to string/string to date converters): New nodes.
 239         (SRFI Support): Add "SRFI-19" to menu.
 240

 242
 243         * scripts.texi: Document `--debug' and `--no-debug'.
 244
 245 2001-10-27  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 246
 247         * guile.texi, scsh.texi: removed obsolete guile-scsh material
 248         and updated links (I don't know if it should remain in the
 249         main menu.  It's like slib I think.)
 250
 251         * minor updates to the slib installation notes.
 252

 263
 264 2001-09-26  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

 304
 305         The change log for files in this directory continues backwards
 306         from 2001-08-27 in ../ChangeLog, as all the Guile documentation
 307         prior to this date was contained in a single directory.
