 804
 805         * misc-modules.texi (Formatted Output): Changed @w to @w{} in

 826         SCM_SMOB_OBJECT_2_LOC, SCM_SMOB_OBJECT_3_LOC, use {} to avoid "*"

 846
 847         * data-rep.texi (How Guile does it): Mark as being in limbo.  All
 848         the real documentation will be in the nodes "Programming in C" and
 849         "API Reference".

 923
 924         * scheme-evaluation.texi (Expression Syntax): Turned syntax
 925         description into a table, @deffn is not really up to the task.

 928
 929         * guile.texi: Replaced list of authors with "The Guile

 933
 934         * scheme-evaluation.texi (Expression Syntax): Use an empty name

 937
 938 2004-02-18  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 939
 940         * scheme-evaluation.texi (Expression Syntax): Fill section with
 941         function calling etc, and quote and quasiquote.
 942
 943         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-9): Revise for detail and clarity.  Don't
 944         use ":foo" for example type name, since that depends on the keyword
 945         reading option.
 946
 947 2004-02-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@chunk.mit.edu>
 948

 962 2004-02-15  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 963
 964         * scheme-compound.texi (Hash Table Reference): In scm_hash_ref etc,
 965         remove note that dflt must be given, it can be SCM_UNSPECIFIED.
 966
 967         * scheme-control.texi (while do): Expand and clarify `do', in
 968         particular note iteration binds fresh locations, rather than values
 969         "stored".
 970
 971         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-4): Revise for clarity, give each function
 972         explicitly rather than showing TAG so Emacs info-look can find them,
 973         merge "SRFI-4 - Read Syntax" and "SRFI-4 - Procedures" into just one
 974         node.
 975
 976 2004-02-12  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

 985
 986         * slib.texi (SLIB): Index entry for replacement `system'.
 987
 988 2004-01-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@chunk.mit.edu>
 989
 990         * scheme-compound.texi (Uniform Arrays): Added a FIXME warning
 991         that the 1/3 prototype no longer works.
 992

1008         its own copying terms.  Describe briefly what the licenses mean in
1009         practice.
1010
1011         * scheme-scheduling.texi (Higher level thread procedures): In monitor,
1012         don't let "newly created" suggest a mutex created on every evaluation.
1013         Note what "monitor" means.
1014
1015         * slib.texi (SLIB): Note `system' redefined by (ice-9 slib).  Tweak
1016         `require' example.
1017

1034
1035 2004-01-06  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
1036
1037         * scheme-control.texi: Document scm_on_unwind_with_scm and

1052
1053         * scheme-scheduling.texi (Threads): Note Guile uses POSIX threads, for
1054         concurrency and preemption.
1055         (C level thread interface): Note periodic libguile call required for C
1056         code in threads, add commented out reminders for SCM_TICK and
1057         guile-mode, for when those features are ready.
1058
1059         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-1 Filtering and Partitioning): For partition
1060         and partition!, emphasise the multi-value return, note partition may
1061         share a tail with the given list.
1062
1063         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-1 Searching, SRFI-1 Deleting, SRFI-1
1064         Association Lists): Note how member, delete, delete! and assoc extend
1065         the corresponding core functions.
1066
1067 2003-11-25  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
1068

1075
1076         From Stephen Compall.  Thanks!
1077
1078         * intro.texi (What is Guile?): Add @acronym for POSIX, R5RS, GUI,
1079         and HTTP.  Conclude linking libguile.  Say what one can find *for*.
1080
1081         * preface.texi (Manual Conventions): Double-quote some statements
1082         formerly single-quoted.  Remove some redundant quotes around code.
1083         Clarify meaning of `iff' further for those that didn't get it the
1084         first time 'round (like me).  Make graphical indicators samples,
1085         not code.  Put results of evaluation on the same line as @result
1086         symbols.  Use @print example as example of total usage, and remind
1087         readers not to forget the difference.
1088

1097         * scheme-data.texi (Random): Add *random-state* variable, put note at
1098         the top of the node about it being the default, rather than just in
1099         the description of random.
1100
1101 2003-11-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
1102
1103         * preface.texi (Manual Layout): Wrap POSIX, API, and SLIB in
1104         @acronym.  Change from paragraph format (somewhat clumsy-looking
1105         on paper, at least) to @table format, with headers @strong.  Made
1106         example modules complete sentences.  From Stephen Compall, thanks!
1107
1108 2003-11-09  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

1125
1126 2003-10-18  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
1127
1128         * gh.texi (Calling Scheme procedures from C, scm transition summary):
1129         Refer to scm_list_n, not the old name scm_listify.
1130         (scm transition summary): For gh_apply, recommend scm_apply_0, which
1131         is now documented.
1132
1133         * gh.texi (Defining new Scheme procedures in C): Don't use
1134         @strong{Note:}, latest makeinfo will complain it looks like a cross
1135         reference.
1136
1137         * posix.texi (Time): Correction to strftime glibc cross reference
1138         node, now "Formatting Calendar Time".

1141         binding established by `while'.

1750
1751         * scheme-modules.texi (Compiled Code Modules): Removed description

1766         from gh.texi to data-rep.texi.  Both files already had similar
1767         descriptions for SCM.  Given that gh.texi is deprecated, looking
1768         up `SCM' in the index should take one to the primary location
1769         rather than deprecated section.  Hence this change.  Added
1770         `@deftp' for scm_t_bits data type so that a proper index entry is
1771         added for this.  Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!

1827         * program.texi (Scheme vs C): New node, with existing material
1828         taken from chapter intro.
1829         (Programming Overview): New intro para to introduce example of

2245         `Programming with Guile'.  This new part will contain general
2246         documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
