 261         that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual
 262         becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
 263         interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
 264         Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
 265         `Programming with Guile'.  This new part will contain general
 266         documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
 267         including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
 268         to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
 269         (Top): Move inclusion of scheme-indices.texi so that all indices
 270         appear together in the printed manual.
 271
 272         * Makefile.am (guile_TEXINFOS): Removed appendices.texi, added
 273         debugging.texi.

 279         Part II rather than an appendix.
 280
 281         * appendices.texi (Obtaining and Installing Guile): Moved to
 282         become a chapter in ...
 283         * intro.texi: ... Part I: Introduction to Guile.
 284
 285         * scm.texi (I/O Extensions): Moved to become a section of ...
 286         * scheme-io.texi (Input and Output): ... this chapter.
 287

 304
 305 2001-10-27  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 306
 307         * guile.texi, scsh.texi: removed obsolete guile-scsh material
 308         and updated links (I don't know if it should remain in the
 309         main menu.  It's like slib I think.)

 364
 365         The change log for files in this directory continues backwards
 366         from 2001-08-27 in ../ChangeLog, as all the Guile documentation
 367         prior to this date was contained in a single directory.
