153 * slib.texi (SLIB installation): Don't recommend using the site
154 directory for the symlink; instead, suggest either adding a
155 symlink in `/.../share/guile/1.8' (because slib will look for
156 its files in the implementation vicinity by default) or defining
157 `SCHEME_LIBRARY_PATH'. Mention `new-catalog'.
158
159 2007-08-11 Ludovic Courtès <ludo@gnu.org>

197
198 2007-02-22 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
199
200 * posix.texi (Signals): Merge sleep and usleep, note usleep not
201 actually microsecond accurate, remove warning usleep not always
202 available (guile has own code for it now, it's not the system call).
203 Cross reference scm_std_sleep / scm_std_usleep.
204
205 * posix.texi (Signals): Merge getitimer and setitimer, describe what
206 each timer does, use @defvar to get them indexed, caution may not
207 actually be microsecond accurate.
208
209 2007-02-20 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
210
211 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add lib-version.texi to the

224 * api-i18n.texi (Internationalization): Re-organized the whole
225 section, documented new i18n features. Added the following
226 subsections: `i18n Introduction', `Text Collation', `Character
227 Case Mapping', `Number Input and Output', `Accessing Locale
228 Information'. Removed `The ice-9 i18n Module'.

230 `The ice-9 i18n Module'.

233
234 2007-01-25 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
235
236 * posix.texi (Signals): Note signal handlers run via system async and

248
249 * api-data.texi (Mapping Folding and Unfolding): In string-unfold,
250 ssay make_final default is nothing extra. The `(lambda (x) )' shown
251 was not quite right, it would have been `(lambda (x) "")' if anything.
252
253 * api-init.texi (Initialization): Cross reference Runtime Environment
254 for scm_set_program_arguments.
255
256 * posix.texi (Runtime Environment): Expand program-arguments
257 description, add set-program-arguments, add scm_set_program_arguments,
258 note args are per-thread.

261
262 * api-procedures.texi (let-keywords Reference): Expand variously to

267
268 * api-control.texi (Handling Errors): Cross reference "Error
269 Reporting" for `scm-error', not just "above".
270

272 Clarify that key and salt are strings.
273
274 * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-17): Expand variously.

1534 not code. Put results of evaluation on the same line as @result
1535 symbols. Use @print example as example of total usage, and remind

2218 rather than deprecated section. Hence this change. Added
2219 `@deftp' for scm_t_bits data type so that a proper index entry is
2220 added for this. Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!

2277 taken from chapter intro.

2794 The change log for files in this directory continues backwards
2795 from 2001-08-27 in ../ChangeLog, as all the Guile documentation
