2004-02-20  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

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

2004-02-18  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

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

        * preface.texi (Contributors to the Manual): New section.

        "stored".
 
        * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-4): Revise for clarity, give each function
        explicitly rather than showing TAG so Emacs info-look can find them,

        node.

        its own copying terms.  Describe briefly what the licenses mean in
        practice.

        * scheme-scheduling.texi (Higher level thread procedures): In monitor,
        don't let "newly created" suggest a mutex created on every evaluation.

        changes.

2004-01-04  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        concurrency and preemption.
        (C level thread interface): Note periodic libguile call required for C
        code in threads, add commented out reminders for SCM_TICK and
        guile-mode, for when those features are ready.

        * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-1 Filtering and Partitioning): For partition
        and partition!, emphasise the multi-value return, note partition may
        share a tail with the given list.

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

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

2003-11-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

        * scheme-modules.texi: Document '@' and '@@'.

        * preface.texi (Manual Layout): Wrap POSIX, API, and SLIB in
        @acronym.  Change from paragraph format (somewhat clumsy-looking
        on paper, at least) to @table format, with headers @strong.  Made
        example modules complete sentences.  From Stephen Compall, thanks!

2003-11-09  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * misc-modules.texi (Pretty Printing): Add new keyword options, break

        is now documented.

        * gh.texi (Defining new Scheme procedures in C): Don't use
        @strong{Note:}, latest makeinfo will complain it looks like a cross
        reference.

        * posix.texi (Time): Correction to strftime glibc cross reference
        node, now "Formatting Calendar Time".

        * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-1 Searching): In break, note conflict with
        binding established by `while'.

        scm_remember_upto_here_1 applies only to C automatic variables.

        for that parameter name.

        and atanh to scheme<->C table.  Note asinh, acosh and atanh are C99,
        and scm_asinh, scm_acosh and scm_atanh are equivalents.  Cross ref
        glibc "Mathematics".  Reword this end part for clarity.

2003-06-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

        From Mike Gran <spikegran@earthlink.net>.  Thanks!

        * preface.texi: Minor punctuation mistakes.  Hyphens should link
        compound adjectives.  Commas should be placed after a "therefore"
        that begins a sentence.  Commas should not be used to separate a
        list of only 2 dependent clauses.

        Used proper Texinfo text marking for many keywords, such as @code,
        @samp, @env, @var.

        Fixed argument metasyntactic variable references in
        file-manipulation section so the usage in the descriptions matches

        * gh.texi, data-rep.texi: Moved `@deftyp {Data type} SCM' line
        from gh.texi to data-rep.texi.  Both files already had similar
        descriptions for SCM.  Given that gh.texi is deprecated, looking
        up `SCM' in the index should take one to the primary location
        rather than deprecated section.  Hence this change.  Added
        `@deftp' for scm_t_bits data type so that a proper index entry is
        added for this.  Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!

        procedure-environment to procedures chapter.

        * scheme-debug.texi (Debugging), scheme-memory.texi (Memory
        Blocks): Move malloc-stats to memory management chapter.

        * scheme-procedures.texi (Syntax Rules): Remove mention of
        use-modules for loading syncase; only use-syntax really works.
        Thanks to Panagiotis Vossos for spotting this.

        taken from chapter intro.
        (Programming Overview): New intro para to introduce example of

        (Vectors): Review, slightly reorg and clarify docs in this
        section.

        * scheme-data.texi (Symbols): Reorganized node substructure and
        added lots of explanatory text around the @deffn's.

2002-03-29  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

        * scheme-modules.texi (Variables): Mention obarrays.

        Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
        `Programming with Guile'.  This new part will contain general
        documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,

        * scheme-evaluation.texi (Fly Evaluation): Removed documentation

        noticing that they'd disappeared!)

2001-10-05  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@glug.org>

        * scheme-io.texi (Writing): Add entry for `display'.
