+Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
+
+ Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.
+
+ * boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
+ init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
+ find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
+ try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
+ dynamic linking of modules.
+ (resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
+ after failing to load it as Scheme code.
+
+Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
+
+ * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
+
+Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
+
+ * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
+ that's what it is.
+
+ * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
+ the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
+ was false.
+
+Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
+
+* * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
+ (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
+ <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
+
+Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
+
+ * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
+ typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
+ yet.
+
+Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
+
+ * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
+ been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
+ (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
+
+Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
+
+ * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
+ controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
+ (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
+ (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
+
+ * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
+ is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
+ bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
+ appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
+ (such as the-scm-module).
+
+Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
+
+ * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
+ %search-load-path.
+
+Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
+
+ * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
+ * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
+ * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
+
+Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
+
+ * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
+ (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
+ function, use it accordingly.
+
+Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
+
+ It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
+ function of no arguments.
+ * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
+ (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
+ set-current-module): Uses changed.
+ (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
+ root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
+ set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
+ (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
+ *top-level-eval-closure*.
+
+Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
+
+ * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
+ (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
+
+Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
+
+ * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
+ aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
+ debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
+ *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
+ beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
+
+ Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
+ `*features*'.
+
+ The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
+ now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
+ sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
+ `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
+
+ Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
+
+ Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
+
+ The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
+ If the user wants to see this, he can do
+ (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
+
+ The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
+ error.
+
+ Added `before-read-hook'.
+
+ Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
+
+ (provide): New function.
+
+ (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
+ in backtraces.
+
+ (backtrace): New function.
+
+ (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
+ specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
+ border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
+ number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
+ is found in operator position in a frame.
+
+ * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
+ by default.
+
+ * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
+ primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
+ ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
+
+ (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
+
+ (library-vicinity): Updated.
+
+ Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
+
+ (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
+
+Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
+
+ * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
+
+ * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
+ try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
+
+ * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
+ so they'll get distributed.
+
+ Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
+ should see as little clutter as possible.
+ * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
+ * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
+ (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
+
+ * r4rs.scm: New file.
+ * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
+ (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
+ open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
+ close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
+ call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
+ with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
+ with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
+ with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
+ r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
+ that are not.
+ (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
+ set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
+
+ * test.scm: New file.
+
+ * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
+ present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
+ idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
+
+ * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
+ =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
+
+ * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
+ work now.
+ (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
+ call %load-announce.
+
Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
* boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
(signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
-* (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
+ (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
they seem redundant.
(try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
-* (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
+ (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
(should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
directly files starting with "/").
