73 * gh.texi, data-rep.texi: Moved `@deftyp {Data type} SCM' line
74 from gh.texi to data-rep.texi. Both files already had similar

76 up `SCM' in the index should take one to the primary location
77 rather than deprecated section. Hence this change. Added
78 `@deftp' for scm_t_bits data type so that a proper index entry is
79 added for this. Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!
80
81 * data-rep.texi (Subrs): Changed scm_make_gsubr to

547
548 * guile.texi (Top): A little top-level reshuffling, with the aims
549 that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual
550 becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
551 interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
552 Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
553 `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
554 documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
555 including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
556 to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
557 (Top): Move inclusion of scheme-indices.texi so that all indices
558 appear together in the printed manual.
559
560 * Makefile.am (guile_TEXINFOS): Removed appendices.texi, added
561 debugging.texi.
