2000-06-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

	* NOTES: Removed.

	* TODO: Moved to devel/.

2000-06-01  Craig Brozefsky  <craig@red-bean.com>

	* GUILE-VERSION: added defnitions for LIBGUILE_MAJOR_VERSION,
	LIBGUILE_MINOR_VERSION, LIBGUILE_REVISION_VERSION so that we now
	define libguile.so version in a well-lit place.

2000-05-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* Makefile.am: add include_HEADERS.
	libguile.h: moved from libguile directory.  maybe libguile.h should

	* qthreads.m4: Removed THREADS_CPPFLAGS.

	* acinclude.m4: Removed qthreads macros.  They are provided in

	but is accessible via anonymous CVS.

2000-03-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

	* autogen.sh: Call libtoolize.  Pass --add-missing option to
	automake.  Do not decent into libltdl directory.  The libltdl

	further autogeneration.

2000-01-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* configure.in: check for fchown.

Tue Jan 18 12:55:15 2000  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@r11n07-s.pdc.kth.se>

2000-01-15  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* README, HACKING: Moved "Hacking it yourself" section from README
	to HACKING.  Updated recommended libtool version to be 1.3.4.

2000-01-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* configure.in: needs to have --disable-networking, not
	--disable-net.

2000-01-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* libltdl/acconfig.h: New file: Needed by autogen.sh.

Tue Jan 11 13:42:35 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* autogen.sh: Added messages as we run autogen in subdirectories.

	chmod +x it. 

2000-01-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* libltdl/autogen.sh: New file.
	* autogen.sh: Invoke libltdl/autogen.sh.

2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	Finally applied the libltdl patch from Thomas Tanner, with slight
	modifications.  All code copied from the libtool package is from
	libtool-1.3.4.

	* configure.in: Make "--with-modules=yes" the default.  Do not
	clear INCLTDL, LIBLTDL prior to processing "--with-modules".
	
    1999-07-25  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@ffii.org>

	    * Makefile.am: add libltdl to SUBDIRS, automake automatically
	      includes ltconfig, ltmain.sh and acconfig.h in EXTRA_DIST
	    * acinclude.m4: remove GUILE_DLSYM_USCORE, add libtool.m4
	      (no need to install libtool any more)
	    * configure.in: replace --enable-dynamic-linking with
	      --with-modules, required modules can be specified using
	      --with-modules="/path/to/mod.la" and will be linked
	      statically on platforms that don't support dynamic loading,
	      configure libltdl, configure libtool for dlopening
	    * libltdl: added using libtoolize -c --ltdl

2000-01-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* configure.in: check whether localtime caches TZ.  copied from
	Emacs 20.5.
	* acconfig.h: add LOCALTIME_CACHE.

Tue Dec 14 09:12:22 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* configure.in: Make it be guile-snarf.awk, since we'll be
	switching names for guile-doc-snarf.  (I wouldn't have changed
	this, but I was getting ready to commit this way when the below
	change was committed).

1999-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* configure.in: Create guile-doc-snarf.awk.

1999-12-12  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* configure.in: Create guile-doc-snarf, chmod +x that script after 
	AC_OUTPUTted.

1999-12-10  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* NEWS: More complete description for --enable-debug-freelist.

1999-12-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>

	* configure.in (CFLAGS): don't add -Wpointer-arith, since it
	causes numerous spurious warnings with recent gcc and/or glibc
	versions.

1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>

	* acconfig.h: add HAVE_ARRAYS.

	* configure.in: add --disable-arrays option, probably temporary.

1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>

	* configure.in: check for hstrerror.

1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>

	* autogen.sh: Don't call autoreconf at all; it's not reliable.
	Instead, call the various tools explicitly.  Invoke
	guile-readline's autogen.sh script.

	Straighten up the situation regarding guile.m4 and qthreads.m4.
	
	We can't have .m4 files which are installed where aclocal can
	see them, but also used by guile's own configure.in, because
	aclocal will read both copies, complain about duplicate macro
	definitions, and refuse to generate aclocal.m4 at all.  This
	happens if you invoke it as `aclocal -I .', as autoreconf does.
	This is probably a flaw in the autotools, but Guile doesn't need
	that flaw fixed immediately.

	guile.m4 is intended for use by people linking against guile, so
	it needs to be installed.  But Guile itself doesn't use it.  So
	move guile.m4 into guile-config.  That makes sense, since
	guile.m4's GUILE_FLAGS macro is just an easy way to call
	guile-config.

	qthreads.m4 is indented to help configure a qthreads tree.  It's
	only useful to a package which actually includes a qthreads tree,
	and it's intimately related to that tree, so it's not useful to
	install this.  So don't install it.

	* guile.m4: Moved to guile-config.
	* Makefile.am (aclocaldir, aclocal_DATA): Delete.
	(EXTRA_DIST): Move qthreads.m4 here.

	Don't store generated files in the repository any more.  Instead,
	require people to run autogen.sh on trees from snapshots and CVS.
	* Makefile.in, aclocal.m4, configure: Deleted.
	* autogen.sh: New file.
	* ANON-CVS, SNAPSHOTS: Updated instructions.

1999-10-02  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>

	* acconfig.h (HAVE_POSIX, HAVE_NETWORKING): Add comments.

1999-09-27  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* configure.in:  Added --enable-debug-freelist option.

	* acconfig.h: Added GUILE_DEBUG_FREELIST.

1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>

	* acconfig.h: add HAVE_POSIX, HAVE_NETWORKING.  remove FD_SETTER,
	FILE_CNT_FIELD, FILE_CNT_GPTR, FILE_CNT_READPTR.

	* configure.in: new options --disable-posix, --disable-net
	and --disable-regex
	export HAVE_POSIX and HAVE_NETWORKING definitions.
	don't add regex-posix.o to LIBOBJS if regex disabled.

	LIBOBJS: add filesys.c, posix.c, net_db.c, socket.c,
	conditionally.

1999-09-25  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>

	* Guile 1.3.4 released.

1999-09-22  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>

	* configure.in: Call AM_PROG_CC_STDC before AM_PROG_LIBTOOL, so
	libtool knows how to get ANSI C behavior from the compiler.
	* configure: Regenerated.

1999-09-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>

	* configure.in: check availability of siginterrupt.

	* configure: Regenerated.

1999-08-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>
