 389
 390         * api-scheduling.texi (Arbiters): Tweak wording for clarity, note any
 391         thread can unlock not just the one which locked.
 392
 393         * posix.texi (Conventions): Describe system-error args, use @defun for
 394         system-error-errno instead of just words.

 396         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-13 Predicates): Tweak wording for clarity.
 397         For string-every, note return is #t when no characters.  For
 398         string-any and string-every, note last pred call is not currently a
 399         tail call, contrary to SRFI-13 spec.

 446
 447         * misc-modules.texi (Formatted Output): Changed @w to @w{} in

 451
 452         * misc-modules.texi (Formatted Output): Rewrite, describing escapes

 468         SCM_SMOB_OBJECT_2_LOC, SCM_SMOB_OBJECT_3_LOC, use {} to avoid "*"
 469         getting into the index as part of the macro name.
 470
 471         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-0): Revise for clarity, drop BNF in favour

 565
 566         * scheme-evaluation.texi (Expression Syntax): Turned syntax
 567         description into a table, @deffn is not really up to the task.
 568

 570
 571         * guile.texi: Replaced list of authors with "The Guile

 575
 576         * scheme-evaluation.texi (Expression Syntax): Use an empty name
 577         for the function call syntax definition.  Otherwise, TeX complains
 578         about unbalanced parenthesis.
 579
 580 2004-02-18  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 581
 582         * scheme-evaluation.texi (Expression Syntax): Fill section with
 583         function calling etc, and quote and quasiquote.
 584
 585         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-9): Revise for detail and clarity.  Don't
 586         use ":foo" for example type name, since that depends on the keyword
 587         reading option.
 588
 589 2004-02-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@chunk.mit.edu>
 590

 602         --> hash-map->list.
 603
 604 2004-02-15  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 605
 606         * scheme-compound.texi (Hash Table Reference): In scm_hash_ref etc,
 607         remove note that dflt must be given, it can be SCM_UNSPECIFIED.
 608
 609         * scheme-control.texi (while do): Expand and clarify `do', in
 610         particular note iteration binds fresh locations, rather than values
 611         "stored".
 612
 613         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-4): Revise for clarity, give each function
 614         explicitly rather than showing TAG so Emacs info-look can find them,
 615         merge "SRFI-4 - Read Syntax" and "SRFI-4 - Procedures" into just one
 616         node.
 617
 618 2004-02-12  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 619
 620         * scheme-compound.texi (Conventional Arrays): Revise for clarity.
 621         In array-equal?, show multiple arguments allowed.

 623         * guile.texi (cross): New macro.
 624
 625         * scheme-compound.texi (Uniform Arrays): Note 1/3 prototype for
 626         doubles is now an exact fraction.
 627
 628         * slib.texi (SLIB): Index entry for replacement `system'.
 629
 630 2004-01-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@chunk.mit.edu>
 631
 632         * scheme-compound.texi (Uniform Arrays): Added a FIXME warning
 633         that the 1/3 prototype no longer works.
 634

 648
 649         * preface.texi (Guile License): Note readline is GPL and manual has
 650         its own copying terms.  Describe briefly what the licenses mean in
 651         practice.
 652
 653         * scheme-scheduling.texi (Higher level thread procedures): In monitor,
 654         don't let "newly created" suggest a mutex created on every evaluation.
 655         Note what "monitor" means.
 656
 657         * slib.texi (SLIB): Note `system' redefined by (ice-9 slib).  Tweak
 658         `require' example.
 659
 660 2004-01-11  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

 676
 677 2004-01-06  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 678
 679         * scheme-control.texi: Document scm_on_unwind_with_scm and

 681
 682 2004-01-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 683

 693 2004-01-04  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 694
 695         * scheme-scheduling.texi (Threads): Note Guile uses POSIX threads, for
 696         concurrency and preemption.
 697         (C level thread interface): Note periodic libguile call required for C
 698         code in threads, add commented out reminders for SCM_TICK and
 699         guile-mode, for when those features are ready.
 700
 701         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-1 Filtering and Partitioning): For partition
 702         and partition!, emphasise the multi-value return, note partition may
 703         share a tail with the given list.
 704
 705         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-1 Searching, SRFI-1 Deleting, SRFI-1
 706         Association Lists): Note how member, delete, delete! and assoc extend
 707         the corresponding core functions.
 708
 709 2003-11-25  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 710

 715
 716         * scheme-data.texi: Include exact rationals.
 717
 718         From Stephen Compall.  Thanks!
 719
 720         * intro.texi (What is Guile?): Add @acronym for POSIX, R5RS, GUI,
 721         and HTTP.  Conclude linking libguile.  Say what one can find *for*.
 722
 723         * preface.texi (Manual Conventions): Double-quote some statements
 724         formerly single-quoted.  Remove some redundant quotes around code.
 725         Clarify meaning of `iff' further for those that didn't get it the
 726         first time 'round (like me).  Make graphical indicators samples,
 727         not code.  Put results of evaluation on the same line as @result
 728         symbols.  Use @print example as example of total usage, and remind
 729         readers not to forget the difference.
 730
 731 2003-11-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 732

 739         * scheme-data.texi (Random): Add *random-state* variable, put note at
 740         the top of the node about it being the default, rather than just in
 741         the description of random.
 742
 743 2003-11-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 744
 745         * preface.texi (Manual Layout): Wrap POSIX, API, and SLIB in
 746         @acronym.  Change from paragraph format (somewhat clumsy-looking
 747         on paper, at least) to @table format, with headers @strong.  Made
 748         example modules complete sentences.  From Stephen Compall, thanks!
 749
 750 2003-11-09  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 751
 752         * misc-modules.texi (Pretty Printing): Add new keyword options, break
 753         example to avoid long line.

 758         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-1 Filtering and Partitioning): Move filter
 759         and filter! ...

1408         from gh.texi to data-rep.texi.  Both files already had similar
1409         descriptions for SCM.  Given that gh.texi is deprecated, looking
1410         up `SCM' in the index should take one to the primary location
1411         rather than deprecated section.  Hence this change.  Added
1412         `@deftp' for scm_t_bits data type so that a proper index entry is
1413         added for this.  Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!
