 236
 237         * guile.texi (Top): A little top-level reshuffling, with the aims
 238         that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual
 239         becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
 240         interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
 241         Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
 242         `Programming with Guile'.  This new part will contain general
 243         documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
 244         including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
 245         to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
 246         (Top): Move inclusion of scheme-indices.texi so that all indices
 247         appear together in the printed manual.
 248
 249         * Makefile.am (guile_TEXINFOS): Removed appendices.texi, added
 250         debugging.texi.

 255         material that used to be in appendices.texi, but now a chapter in
 256         Part II rather than an appendix.
 257
 258         * appendices.texi (Obtaining and Installing Guile): Moved to
 259         become a chapter in ...
 260         * intro.texi: ... Part I: Introduction to Guile.
 261
 262         * scm.texi (I/O Extensions): Moved to become a section of ...
 263         * scheme-io.texi (Input and Output): ... this chapter.
 264
 265         * scm.texi (Handling Errors): Moved to become a section of ...
 266         * scheme-control.texi (Control Mechanisms): ... this chapter.

 274         Time/Date/Julian Day/Modified Julian Day converters, SRFI-19 Date
 275         to string/string to date converters): New nodes.
 276         (SRFI Support): Add "SRFI-19" to menu.

 279
 280         * scripts.texi: Document `--debug' and `--no-debug'.
 281
 282 2001-10-27  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 283
 284         * guile.texi, scsh.texi: removed obsolete guile-scsh material
 285         and updated links (I don't know if it should remain in the
 286         main menu.  It's like slib I think.)
 287
 288         * minor updates to the slib installation notes.

 300
 301 2001-09-26  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

 341
 342         The change log for files in this directory continues backwards
 343         from 2001-08-27 in ../ChangeLog, as all the Guile documentation
 344         prior to this date was contained in a single directory.
