 398
 399         * misc-modules.texi (Formatted Output): Changed @w to @w{} in

 420         SCM_SMOB_OBJECT_2_LOC, SCM_SMOB_OBJECT_3_LOC, use {} to avoid "*"
 421         getting into the index as part of the macro name.
 422
 423         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-0): Revise for clarity, drop BNF in favour

 517
 518         * scheme-evaluation.texi (Expression Syntax): Turned syntax
 519         description into a table, @deffn is not really up to the task.

 522
 523         * guile.texi: Replaced list of authors with "The Guile

 527
 528         * scheme-evaluation.texi (Expression Syntax): Use an empty name
 529         for the function call syntax definition.  Otherwise, TeX complains
 530         about unbalanced parenthesis.
 531
 532 2004-02-18  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 533
 534         * scheme-evaluation.texi (Expression Syntax): Fill section with
 535         function calling etc, and quote and quasiquote.
 536
 537         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-9): Revise for detail and clarity.  Don't
 538         use ":foo" for example type name, since that depends on the keyword
 539         reading option.
 540
 541 2004-02-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@chunk.mit.edu>
 542

 555
 556 2004-02-15  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 557
 558         * scheme-compound.texi (Hash Table Reference): In scm_hash_ref etc,

 560
 561         * scheme-control.texi (while do): Expand and clarify `do', in
 562         particular note iteration binds fresh locations, rather than values
 563         "stored".
 564
 565         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-4): Revise for clarity, give each function
 566         explicitly rather than showing TAG so Emacs info-look can find them,
 567         merge "SRFI-4 - Read Syntax" and "SRFI-4 - Procedures" into just one
 568         node.
 569
 570 2004-02-12  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

 578         doubles is now an exact fraction.
 579
 580         * slib.texi (SLIB): Index entry for replacement `system'.
 581
 582 2004-01-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@chunk.mit.edu>
 583
 584         * scheme-compound.texi (Uniform Arrays): Added a FIXME warning
 585         that the 1/3 prototype no longer works.

 602         its own copying terms.  Describe briefly what the licenses mean in
 603         practice.
 604
 605         * scheme-scheduling.texi (Higher level thread procedures): In monitor,
 606         don't let "newly created" suggest a mutex created on every evaluation.
 607         Note what "monitor" means.
 608
 609         * slib.texi (SLIB): Note `system' redefined by (ice-9 slib).  Tweak
 610         `require' example.

 646
 647         * scheme-scheduling.texi (Threads): Note Guile uses POSIX threads, for
 648         concurrency and preemption.
 649         (C level thread interface): Note periodic libguile call required for C
 650         code in threads, add commented out reminders for SCM_TICK and
 651         guile-mode, for when those features are ready.
 652
 653         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-1 Filtering and Partitioning): For partition
 654         and partition!, emphasise the multi-value return, note partition may

 656
 657         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-1 Searching, SRFI-1 Deleting, SRFI-1
 658         Association Lists): Note how member, delete, delete! and assoc extend

 676         formerly single-quoted.  Remove some redundant quotes around code.
 677         Clarify meaning of `iff' further for those that didn't get it the
 678         first time 'round (like me).  Make graphical indicators samples,
 679         not code.  Put results of evaluation on the same line as @result
 680         symbols.  Use @print example as example of total usage, and remind
 681         readers not to forget the difference.
 682
 683 2003-11-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 684

 694
 695 2003-11-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 696
 697         * preface.texi (Manual Layout): Wrap POSIX, API, and SLIB in
 698         @acronym.  Change from paragraph format (somewhat clumsy-looking
 699         on paper, at least) to @table format, with headers @strong.  Made
 700         example modules complete sentences.  From Stephen Compall, thanks!
 701

 723         Refer to scm_list_n, not the old name scm_listify.
 724         (scm transition summary): For gh_apply, recommend scm_apply_0, which
 725         is now documented.
 726
 727         * gh.texi (Defining new Scheme procedures in C): Don't use
 728         @strong{Note:}, latest makeinfo will complain it looks like a cross
 729         reference.
 730
 731         * posix.texi (Time): Correction to strftime glibc cross reference
 732         node, now "Formatting Calendar Time".

 738
 739         * scheme-compound.texi (Hash Table Reference): Decribe rehashing, note
 740         no hashx-remove!, describe make-hash-table size parameter.
 741
 742 2003-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 743
 744         * scheme-memory.texi: Added a short explanation of the GC and the
 745         conservative stack scanning.
 746         (scm_gc_protect_object, scm_gc_unprotect_object,
 747         scm_permanent_object): New.
 748

1344

1360         from gh.texi to data-rep.texi.  Both files already had similar
1361         descriptions for SCM.  Given that gh.texi is deprecated, looking
1362         up `SCM' in the index should take one to the primary location
1363         rather than deprecated section.  Hence this change.  Added
1364         `@deftp' for scm_t_bits data type so that a proper index entry is
1365         added for this.  Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!

1420
1421         * program.texi (Scheme vs C): New node, with existing material
1422         taken from chapter intro.
1423         (Programming Overview): New intro para to introduce example of
