  32         docstrings.
  33
  34 2001-11-04  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
  35
  36         * preface.texi: Use MANUAL_EDITION variable.
  37         (Manual Layout): Updated to reflect reorg.
  38
  39         * guile.texi (MANUAL_EDITION): New variable, with value

  42
  43         * scheme-indices.texi (R5RS Index, Guile Extensions Index): Use
  44         @unnumbered rather than @chapter for these indices.
  45
  46         * guile.texi (Top): A little top-level reshuffling, with the aims
  47         that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual
  48         becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
  49         interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
  50         Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
  51         `Programming with Guile'.  This new part will contain general
  52         documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
  53         including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
  54         to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
  55         (Top): Move inclusion of scheme-indices.texi so that all indices
  56         appear together in the printed manual.
  57
  58         * Makefile.am (guile_TEXINFOS): Removed appendices.texi, added
  59         debugging.texi.
  60
  61         * appendices.texi: Removed.
  62
  63         * debugging.texi (Debugger User Interface): New file, same as the
  64         material that used to be in appendices.texi, but now a chapter in
  65         Part II rather than an appendix.
  66
  67         * appendices.texi (Obtaining and Installing Guile): Moved to
  68         become a chapter in ...
  69         * intro.texi: ... Part I: Introduction to Guile.
  70
  71         * scm.texi (I/O Extensions): Moved to become a section of ...
  72         * scheme-io.texi (Input and Output): ... this chapter.
  73
  74         * scm.texi (Handling Errors): Moved to become a section of ...
  75         * scheme-control.texi (Control Mechanisms): ... this chapter.
  76
  77 2001-11-06  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@glug.org>

  80         time and clock resolution, SRFI-19 Time object and accessors,
  81         SRFI-19 Time comparison procedures, SRFI-19 Time arithmetic
  82         procedures, SRFI-19 Date object and accessors, SRFI-19
  83         Time/Date/Julian Day/Modified Julian Day converters, SRFI-19 Date
  84         to string/string to date converters): New nodes.
  85         (SRFI Support): Add "SRFI-19" to menu.
  86

  90
  91 2001-10-27  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
  92
  93         * guile.texi, scsh.texi: removed obsolete guile-scsh material
  94         and updated links (I don't know if it should remain in the
  95         main menu.  It's like slib I think.)
  96
  97         * minor updates to the slib installation notes.
  98
