Introductory blurbs rewritten accordingly. * guile.texi: Updated Notes comment. * scheme-data.texi (Rx Interface): Node moved to Guile Modules part, as the Rx interface is not core Guile. 2001-11-30 Neil Jerram * scheme-data.texi (String Miscellanea): Removed, moving doc for string-ci->symbol into the node on Symbols. * Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): Added. * scheme-data.texi (Symbol Tables): Removed doc for gentemp, intern-symbol, string->obarray-symbol, symbol-binding, symbol-bound?, symbol-set!, unintern-symbol, symbol-interned?; all of which no longer exist. 2001-11-25 Thien-Thi Nguyen * posix.texi: Fix spelling. Thanks to Chris Cramer. Reword `getpass' intro blurb. 2001-11-23 Neil Jerram * program.texi (Program Control): Remove spurious placeholder text. 2001-11-20 Thien-Thi Nguyen * scheme-options.texi (Install Config): Tweak `%load-path' verb to not imply it's a proc.

(String Searching): Add missing "for". Thanks to Scott Lenser. 2001-11-08 Neil Jerram * guile.texi (Top): Added new chapter `Programming Options'. * program.texi: New file. * Makefile.am (guile_TEXINFOS): Added program.texi. 2001-11-07 Neil Jerram * scheme-memory.texi, scheme-io.texi, scheme-debug.texi, scheme-data.texi, scheme-binding.texi, posix.texi, new-docstrings.texi: Automatic updates from improved libguile docstrings. 2001-11-04 Neil Jerram * preface.texi: Use MANUAL_EDITION variable. (Manual Layout): Updated to reflect reorg. * guile.texi (MANUAL_EDITION): New variable, with value incremented from 1.0 to 1.1 to reflect the reorg described here. (Top): Use MANUAL_EDITION variable. * scheme-indices.texi (R5RS Index, Guile Extensions Index): Use @unnumbered rather than @chapter for these indices. * guile.texi (Top): A little top-level reshuffling, with the aims that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C, including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how to use the snarf macros, how to debug ... (Top): Move inclusion of scheme-indices.texi so that all indices appear together in the printed manual. * Makefile.am (guile_TEXINFOS): Removed appendices.texi, added debugging.texi. * appendices.texi: Removed. * debugging.texi (Debugger User Interface): New file, same as the material that used to be in appendices.texi, but now a chapter in Part II rather than an appendix. * appendices.texi (Obtaining and Installing Guile): Moved to become a chapter in ... * intro.texi: ... Part I: Introduction to Guile. * scm.texi (I/O Extensions): Moved to become a section of ... * scheme-io.texi (Input and Output): ... this chapter. * scm.texi (Handling Errors): Moved to become a section of ... * scheme-control.texi (Control Mechanisms): ... this chapter. 2001-11-06 Thien-Thi Nguyen * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-19, SRFI-19 Constants, SRFI-19 Current time and clock resolution, SRFI-19 Time object and accessors, SRFI-19 Time comparison procedures, SRFI-19 Time arithmetic procedures, SRFI-19 Date object and accessors, SRFI-19 Time/Date/Julian Day/Modified Julian Day converters, SRFI-19 Date to string/string to date converters): New nodes. (SRFI Support): Add "SRFI-19" to menu. 2001-11-06 Marius Vollmer * scripts.texi: Document `--debug' and `--no-debug'. 2001-10-27 Gary Houston * guile.texi, scsh.texi: removed obsolete guile-scsh material and updated links (I don't know if it should remain in the main menu. It's like slib I think.) * minor updates to the slib installation notes. 2001-10-05 Neil Jerram * scheme-evaluation.texi (Fly Evaluation): Removed documentation for `read-and-eval!' and `eval2'. (Thanks to Alex Schroeder for noticing that they'd disappeared!) 2001-10-05 Thien-Thi Nguyen * scheme-io.texi (Writing): Add entry for `display'. Include in R5RS Index. Thanks to Alex Schroeder for suggestion. 2001-09-26 Martin Grabmueller * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-13): Tyop fix. (SRFI-13): Changed paragraph about bindings both in the code and in SRFI-13. * misc-modules.texi (Formatted Output): Tyop fix. (Formatted Output): Document ~g properly. Thanks to Alex Schroeder for pointing out the typos and sending suggestions. 2001-09-25 Thien-Thi Nguyen * scheme-procedures.texi (Syntax Rules): Add `cindex' directive. Thanks to suggestion by Alex Schroeder. 2001-08-30 Neil Jerram * guile.texi (Top): Group all index nodes together so that `Info-index' works more effectively in Info. Thanks to Eric Hanchrow for the report and fix. * scheme-data.texi (Random, String Syntax, String Modification, Regular Expressions), scheme-ideas.texi (Definition), scheme-modules.texi (Dynamic Linking and Compiled Code Modules), scm.texi (Transforming Scheme name to C name, Port Implementation): Various typo fixes and clarifications merged from the stable CVS branch. 2001-08-27 Neil Jerram * intro.texi: Merged wording fixes from stable CVS branch. * Makefile.am (guile_TEXINFOS): Remove ../AUTHORS. * guile.texi: Incorporate text previously in separate AUTHORS file. 2001-08-27 Neil Jerram The change log for files in this directory continues backwards from 2001-08-27 in ../ChangeLog, as all the Guile documentation prior to this date was contained in a single directory. ;; Local Variables: ;; coding: utf-8 ;; End:
