549 Clarify meaning of `iff' further for those that didn't get it the
550 first time 'round (like me). Make graphical indicators samples,
551 not code. Put results of evaluation on the same line as @result
552 symbols. Use @print example as example of total usage, and remind
553 readers not to forget the difference.
555 2003-11-17 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
557 * scheme-modules.texi: Document '@' and '@@'.

574 2003-11-09 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
576 * misc-modules.texi (Pretty Printing): Add new keyword options, break

1167 documentation for scm_c_make_gsubr and scm_c_define_gsubr.
1168 * scheme-modules.texi (Compiled Code Modules): replace
1169 gh_new_procedure with scm_c_define_gsubr.

1183 Internet Socket Examples): Add examples provided by Ian Sheldon.
1185 2002-08-08 Marius Vollmer <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
1187 * scheme-binding.texi: Don't talk about 'bound?' which is gone.
1188 Thanks to Christopher Cramer.
1190 2002-08-06 Han-Wen Nienhuys <hanwen@cs.uu.nl>
1192 * scheme-memory.texi (Memory Blocks): add scm_calloc, scm_gc_calloc.

1235 rather than deprecated section. Hence this change. Added
1236 `@deftp' for scm_t_bits data type so that a proper index entry is
1237 added for this. Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!

1294 taken from chapter intro.

1711 `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
1712 documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
