 148         * guile.texi (Top): A little top-level reshuffling, with the aims
 149         that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual
 150         becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
 151         interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
 152         Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
 153         `Programming with Guile'.  This new part will contain general
 154         documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
 155         including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
 156         to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
 157         (Top): Move inclusion of scheme-indices.texi so that all indices
 158         appear together in the printed manual.

 166         material that used to be in appendices.texi, but now a chapter in
 167         Part II rather than an appendix.
 168
 169         * appendices.texi (Obtaining and Installing Guile): Moved to
 170         become a chapter in ...
 171         * intro.texi: ... Part I: Introduction to Guile.
 172
 173         * scm.texi (I/O Extensions): Moved to become a section of ...
 174         * scheme-io.texi (Input and Output): ... this chapter.
 175
 176         * scm.texi (Handling Errors): Moved to become a section of ...
 177         * scheme-control.texi (Control Mechanisms): ... this chapter.
 178

 184         procedures, SRFI-19 Date object and accessors, SRFI-19
 185         Time/Date/Julian Day/Modified Julian Day converters, SRFI-19 Date
 186         to string/string to date converters): New nodes.
 187         (SRFI Support): Add "SRFI-19" to menu.

 191         * scripts.texi: Document `--debug' and `--no-debug'.
 192
 193 2001-10-27  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 194
 195         * guile.texi, scsh.texi: removed obsolete guile-scsh material
 196         and updated links (I don't know if it should remain in the
 197         main menu.  It's like slib I think.)
 198
 199         * minor updates to the slib installation notes.

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