730 * guile.texi (MANUAL_EDITION): New variable, with value
731 incremented from 1.0 to 1.1 to reflect the reorg described here.

734 * scheme-indices.texi (R5RS Index, Guile Extensions Index): Use
735 @unnumbered rather than @chapter for these indices.
737 * guile.texi (Top): A little top-level reshuffling, with the aims
738 that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual
739 becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
740 interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
741 Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
742 `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
743 documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
744 including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
745 to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
746 (Top): Move inclusion of scheme-indices.texi so that all indices
747 appear together in the printed manual.

752 * appendices.texi: Removed.

759 become a chapter in ...
760 * intro.texi: ... Part I: Introduction to Guile.

825 Regular Expressions), scheme-ideas.texi (Definition),

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