1144         formerly single-quoted.  Remove some redundant quotes around code.
1145         Clarify meaning of `iff' further for those that didn't get it the
1146         first time 'round (like me).  Make graphical indicators samples,
1147         not code.  Put results of evaluation on the same line as @result
1148         symbols.  Use @print example as example of total usage, and remind
1149         readers not to forget the difference.

1424 2003-06-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
1425
1426         From Mike Gran <spikegran@earthlink.net>.  Thanks!
1427
1428         * preface.texi: Minor punctuation mistakes.  Hyphens should link
1429         compound adjectives.  Commas should be placed after a "therefore"

1828         from gh.texi to data-rep.texi.  Both files already had similar
1829         descriptions for SCM.  Given that gh.texi is deprecated, looking
1830         up `SCM' in the index should take one to the primary location
1831         rather than deprecated section.  Hence this change.  Added
1832         `@deftp' for scm_t_bits data type so that a proper index entry is
1833         added for this.  Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!

1867         (Debugging Features): Renamed from `Debugger User Interface'.
1868
1869         * scheme-debug.texi (Debugging): Rename chapter `Debugging
1870         Infrastructure' and reorganize its contents.
1871
1872         * scheme-debug.texi (Debugging), scheme-control.texi (Handling
1873         Errors): Move display-error to error-focussed section.
1874

1879         Properties): Move procedure-name, procedure-source and

2264         improvements from stable branch.

2274
2275 2001-11-08  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
2276
2277         * guile.texi (Top): Added new chapter `Programming Options'.
2278
2279         * program.texi: New file.
2280
2281         * Makefile.am (guile_TEXINFOS): Added program.texi.

2289
2290 2001-11-04  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
2291
2292         * preface.texi: Use MANUAL_EDITION variable.
2293         (Manual Layout): Updated to reflect reorg.
2294
2295         * guile.texi (MANUAL_EDITION): New variable, with value

2298
2299         * scheme-indices.texi (R5RS Index, Guile Extensions Index): Use
2300         @unnumbered rather than @chapter for these indices.
2301
2302         * guile.texi (Top): A little top-level reshuffling, with the aims
2303         that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual
2304         becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
2305         interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
2306         Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
2307         `Programming with Guile'.  This new part will contain general
2308         documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
2309         including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
2310         to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
2311         (Top): Move inclusion of scheme-indices.texi so that all indices
2312         appear together in the printed manual.
2313
2314         * Makefile.am (guile_TEXINFOS): Removed appendices.texi, added
2315         debugging.texi.

2318
2319         * debugging.texi (Debugger User Interface): New file, same as the
2320         material that used to be in appendices.texi, but now a chapter in
2321         Part II rather than an appendix.
2322
2323         * appendices.texi (Obtaining and Installing Guile): Moved to
2324         become a chapter in ...
2325         * intro.texi: ... Part I: Introduction to Guile.
2326
2327         * scm.texi (I/O Extensions): Moved to become a section of ...
2328         * scheme-io.texi (Input and Output): ... this chapter.
2329
2330         * scm.texi (Handling Errors): Moved to become a section of ...
2331         * scheme-control.texi (Control Mechanisms): ... this chapter.

2337         SRFI-19 Time comparison procedures, SRFI-19 Time arithmetic
2338         procedures, SRFI-19 Date object and accessors, SRFI-19
2339         Time/Date/Julian Day/Modified Julian Day converters, SRFI-19 Date
2340         to string/string to date converters): New nodes.
2341         (SRFI Support): Add "SRFI-19" to menu.
2342
2343 2001-11-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2344
2345         * scripts.texi: Document `--debug' and `--no-debug'.
2346
2347 2001-10-27  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2348
2349         * guile.texi, scsh.texi: removed obsolete guile-scsh material
2350         and updated links (I don't know if it should remain in the
2351         main menu.  It's like slib I think.)
2352
2353         * minor updates to the slib installation notes.

2361 2001-10-05  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@glug.org>
2362
2363         * scheme-io.texi (Writing): Add entry for `display'.

2407         The change log for files in this directory continues backwards
2408         from 2001-08-27 in ../ChangeLog, as all the Guile documentation
2409         prior to this date was contained in a single directory.
