2001-01-24  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* boot-9.scm (root-module-closure, scm-module-closure):  Remove
	calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
	basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
	After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
	'(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
	binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
	for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.

2000-12-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* session.scm (apropos):  Completed the last patch, which did only

	any more.

2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* boot-9.scm (top-repl):  Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
	the-root-module.

2000-12-07  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

	* emacs.scm (flush-whitespace): Fix spelling typo ("recieving").

2000-11-28  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm
	(make-line-buffering-input-port), regex.scm (match:prefix,
	match:suffix, match:substring, regexp-substitute/global), slib.scm
	(slib-parent-dir), string-fun.scm (split-after-char,
	split-before-char, split-discarding-char, split-after-char-last,
	split-before-char-last, split-discarding-char-last,
	split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
	split-discarding-predicate, separate-fields-discarding-char,
	separate-fields-after-char, separate-fields-before-char,
	string-prefix-predicate, sans-surrounding-whitespace,
	sans-trailing-whitespace, sans-leading-whitespace,
	sans-final-newline):  Use substring instead of
	make-shared-substring.

2000-11-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* boot-9.scm: values?, get-values, values, call-with-values:
	removed.  values and call-with-values are now primitives and
	the other two were only exported by accident.  don't define
	*values-rtd* record type or handle multiple values in
	scm-style-repl.

2000-11-07  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* popen.scm (open-output-pipe): added docstrings for open-input-pipe
	and open-output-pipe.

2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* popen.scm (open-process): bug fix: don't use
	close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
	it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
	in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
	method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
	Pirotte for the bug report).
	standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
	are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.

2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* syncase.scm (eval):  string=? requires a string argument.
	Thanks to Dale P. Smith for the patch.

2000-10-15  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* documentation.scm (find-documentation-in-file): Modified
	according to changed format of guile-procedures.txt caused by my
	snarfing/makeinfo changes in libguile.

	* session.scm (help-doc): Improvements to (help) output: (i) a
	friendlier Emacs-style introduction line; (ii) where the help arg
	matches multiple documented entries, print an initial list of the
	entries for which documentation is found, before printing the
	actual documentation entries themselves.

2000-09-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm: Removed comment.  (Thanks to Brad Knotwell.)

	(symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on
	args.
	(obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
	think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never
	even worked...  /mdj.

	`symbol->string'.
	(try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS
