8
9 2001-11-07 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

12 scheme-data.texi, scheme-binding.texi, posix.texi,

15
16 2001-11-04 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
17
18 * preface.texi: Use MANUAL_EDITION variable.
19 (Manual Layout): Updated to reflect reorg.
20
21 * guile.texi (MANUAL_EDITION): New variable, with value
22 incremented from 1.0 to 1.1 to reflect the reorg described here.
23 (Top): Use MANUAL_EDITION variable.
24
25 * scheme-indices.texi (R5RS Index, Guile Extensions Index): Use
26 @unnumbered rather than @chapter for these indices.
27
28 * guile.texi (Top): A little top-level reshuffling, with the aims
29 that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual
30 becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
31 interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
32 Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
33 `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
34 documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
35 including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
36 to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
37 (Top): Move inclusion of scheme-indices.texi so that all indices
38 appear together in the printed manual.
39
40 * Makefile.am (guile_TEXINFOS): Removed appendices.texi, added
41 debugging.texi.
42
43 * appendices.texi: Removed.

45 * debugging.texi (Debugger User Interface): New file, same as the
46 material that used to be in appendices.texi, but now a chapter in

50 become a chapter in ...
