1296 * gh.texi, data-rep.texi: Moved `@deftyp {Data type} SCM' line
1297 from gh.texi to data-rep.texi. Both files already had similar
1298 descriptions for SCM. Given that gh.texi is deprecated, looking
1299 up `SCM' in the index should take one to the primary location
1300 rather than deprecated section. Hence this change. Added
1301 `@deftp' for scm_t_bits data type so that a proper index entry is
1302 added for this. Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!
1303
1304 * data-rep.texi (Subrs): Changed scm_make_gsubr to
1305 scm_c_define_gsubr. Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!

1768 * scheme-indices.texi (R5RS Index, Guile Extensions Index): Use
1769 @unnumbered rather than @chapter for these indices.
1770
1771 * guile.texi (Top): A little top-level reshuffling, with the aims
1772 that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual
1773 becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
1774 interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
1775 Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
1776 `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
1777 documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
1778 including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
1779 to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
1780 (Top): Move inclusion of scheme-indices.texi so that all indices
1781 appear together in the printed manual.
1782
1783 * Makefile.am (guile_TEXINFOS): Removed appendices.texi, added
1784 debugging.texi.
