 230
 231         * guile.texi (Top): A little top-level reshuffling, with the aims
 232         that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual
 233         becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
 234         interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
 235         Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
 236         `Programming with Guile'.  This new part will contain general
 237         documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
 238         including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
 239         to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
 240         (Top): Move inclusion of scheme-indices.texi so that all indices
 241         appear together in the printed manual.
 242
 243         * Makefile.am (guile_TEXINFOS): Removed appendices.texi, added
 244         debugging.texi.

 249         material that used to be in appendices.texi, but now a chapter in
 250         Part II rather than an appendix.
 251
 252         * appendices.texi (Obtaining and Installing Guile): Moved to
 253         become a chapter in ...
 254         * intro.texi: ... Part I: Introduction to Guile.
 255
 256         * scm.texi (I/O Extensions): Moved to become a section of ...
 257         * scheme-io.texi (Input and Output): ... this chapter.
 258

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

 273
 274         * scripts.texi: Document `--debug' and `--no-debug'.
 275
 276 2001-10-27  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 277
 278         * guile.texi, scsh.texi: removed obsolete guile-scsh material
 279         and updated links (I don't know if it should remain in the
 280         main menu.  It's like slib I think.)
 281
 282         * minor updates to the slib installation notes.

 294
 295 2001-09-26  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

 322         Implementation): Various typo fixes and clarifications merged from
 323         the stable CVS branch.
 324
 325 2001-08-27  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
 326

 335
 336         The change log for files in this directory continues backwards
 337         from 2001-08-27 in ../ChangeLog, as all the Guile documentation
 338         prior to this date was contained in a single directory.
