 256         that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual
 257         becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
 258         interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
 259         Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
 260         `Programming with Guile'.  This new part will contain general
 261         documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
 262         including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
 263         to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
 264         (Top): Move inclusion of scheme-indices.texi so that all indices
 265         appear together in the printed manual.
 266
 267         * Makefile.am (guile_TEXINFOS): Removed appendices.texi, added
 268         debugging.texi.

 273         material that used to be in appendices.texi, but now a chapter in
 274         Part II rather than an appendix.
 275
 276         * appendices.texi (Obtaining and Installing Guile): Moved to
 277         become a chapter in ...
 278         * intro.texi: ... Part I: Introduction to Guile.
 279
 280         * scm.texi (I/O Extensions): Moved to become a section of ...
 281         * scheme-io.texi (Input and Output): ... this chapter.
 282
 283         * scm.texi (Handling Errors): Moved to become a section of ...
 284         * scheme-control.texi (Control Mechanisms): ... this chapter.

 299
 300 2001-10-27  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 301
 302         * guile.texi, scsh.texi: removed obsolete guile-scsh material
 303         and updated links (I don't know if it should remain in the
 304         main menu.  It's like slib I think.)

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