 776
 777         * api-scheduling.texi (Arbiters): Tweak wording for clarity, note any
 778         thread can unlock not just the one which locked.

 786         tail call, contrary to SRFI-13 spec.

 833
 834         * misc-modules.texi (Formatted Output): Changed @w to @w{} in

 952
 953         * scheme-evaluation.texi (Expression Syntax): Turned syntax
 954         description into a table, @deffn is not really up to the task.

 957
 958         * guile.texi: Replaced list of authors with "The Guile

 963         * scheme-evaluation.texi (Expression Syntax): Use an empty name

 966
 967 2004-02-18  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 968

 970         function calling etc, and quote and quasiquote.
 971
 972         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-9): Revise for detail and clarity.  Don't
 973         use ":foo" for example type name, since that depends on the keyword
 974         reading option.
 975
 976 2004-02-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@chunk.mit.edu>
 977

 992
 993         * scheme-compound.texi (Hash Table Reference): In scm_hash_ref etc,
 994         remove note that dflt must be given, it can be SCM_UNSPECIFIED.
 995
 996         * scheme-control.texi (while do): Expand and clarify `do', in
 997         particular note iteration binds fresh locations, rather than values
 998         "stored".
 999
1000         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-4): Revise for clarity, give each function
1001         explicitly rather than showing TAG so Emacs info-look can find them,
1002         merge "SRFI-4 - Read Syntax" and "SRFI-4 - Procedures" into just one
1003         node.
1004

1016
1017 2004-01-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@chunk.mit.edu>
1018
1019         * scheme-compound.texi (Uniform Arrays): Added a FIXME warning
1020         that the 1/3 prototype no longer works.
1021
1022 2004-01-23  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
1023
1024         * Makefile.am (guile_TEXINFOS): Added fdl.texi.

1038         practice.
1039
1040         * scheme-scheduling.texi (Higher level thread procedures): In monitor,
1041         don't let "newly created" suggest a mutex created on every evaluation.
1042         Note what "monitor" means.
1043
1044         * slib.texi (SLIB): Note `system' redefined by (ice-9 slib).  Tweak
1045         `require' example.

1063
1064 2004-01-06  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
1065
1066         * scheme-control.texi: Document scm_on_unwind_with_scm and

1080 2004-01-04  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
1081
1082         * scheme-scheduling.texi (Threads): Note Guile uses POSIX threads, for
1083         concurrency and preemption.
1084         (C level thread interface): Note periodic libguile call required for C
1085         code in threads, add commented out reminders for SCM_TICK and
1086         guile-mode, for when those features are ready.
1087
1088         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-1 Filtering and Partitioning): For partition
1089         and partition!, emphasise the multi-value return, note partition may
1090         share a tail with the given list.
1091
1092         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-1 Searching, SRFI-1 Deleting, SRFI-1
1093         Association Lists): Note how member, delete, delete! and assoc extend

1097

1104
1105         From Stephen Compall.  Thanks!
1106
1107         * intro.texi (What is Guile?): Add @acronym for POSIX, R5RS, GUI,
1108         and HTTP.  Conclude linking libguile.  Say what one can find *for*.
1109
1110         * preface.texi (Manual Conventions): Double-quote some statements
1111         formerly single-quoted.  Remove some redundant quotes around code.
1112         Clarify meaning of `iff' further for those that didn't get it the
1113         first time 'round (like me).  Make graphical indicators samples,
1114         not code.  Put results of evaluation on the same line as @result
1115         symbols.  Use @print example as example of total usage, and remind
1116         readers not to forget the difference.
1117

1126         * scheme-data.texi (Random): Add *random-state* variable, put note at
1127         the top of the node about it being the default, rather than just in
1128         the description of random.
1129
1130 2003-11-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
1131
1132         * preface.texi (Manual Layout): Wrap POSIX, API, and SLIB in
1133         @acronym.  Change from paragraph format (somewhat clumsy-looking
1134         on paper, at least) to @table format, with headers @strong.  Made
1135         example modules complete sentences.  From Stephen Compall, thanks!
1136
1137 2003-11-09  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
1138

1795         from gh.texi to data-rep.texi.  Both files already had similar
1796         descriptions for SCM.  Given that gh.texi is deprecated, looking
1797         up `SCM' in the index should take one to the primary location
1798         rather than deprecated section.  Hence this change.  Added
1799         `@deftp' for scm_t_bits data type so that a proper index entry is

2258
2259         * preface.texi: Use MANUAL_EDITION variable.
2260         (Manual Layout): Updated to reflect reorg.
2261
2262         * guile.texi (MANUAL_EDITION): New variable, with value
2263         incremented from 1.0 to 1.1 to reflect the reorg described here.
2264         (Top): Use MANUAL_EDITION variable.
2265
2266         * scheme-indices.texi (R5RS Index, Guile Extensions Index): Use
2267         @unnumbered rather than @chapter for these indices.
2268
2269         * guile.texi (Top): A little top-level reshuffling, with the aims
2270         that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual
2271         becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
2272         interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
2273         Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
2274         `Programming with Guile'.  This new part will contain general
2275         documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
2276         including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
2277         to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
2278         (Top): Move inclusion of scheme-indices.texi so that all indices
2279         appear together in the printed manual.
2280
2281         * Makefile.am (guile_TEXINFOS): Removed appendices.texi, added
2282         debugging.texi.
2283
2284         * appendices.texi: Removed.
2285
2286         * debugging.texi (Debugger User Interface): New file, same as the
2287         material that used to be in appendices.texi, but now a chapter in
2288         Part II rather than an appendix.
2289
2290         * appendices.texi (Obtaining and Installing Guile): Moved to
2291         become a chapter in ...
2292         * intro.texi: ... Part I: Introduction to Guile.
2293
2294         * scm.texi (I/O Extensions): Moved to become a section of ...
2295         * scheme-io.texi (Input and Output): ... this chapter.
2296
2297         * scm.texi (Handling Errors): Moved to become a section of ...
2298         * scheme-control.texi (Control Mechanisms): ... this chapter.

2301
2302         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-19, SRFI-19 Constants, SRFI-19 Current
2303         time and clock resolution, SRFI-19 Time object and accessors,
2304         SRFI-19 Time comparison procedures, SRFI-19 Time arithmetic
2305         procedures, SRFI-19 Date object and accessors, SRFI-19
2306         Time/Date/Julian Day/Modified Julian Day converters, SRFI-19 Date
2307         to string/string to date converters): New nodes.
2308         (SRFI Support): Add "SRFI-19" to menu.
2309
2310 2001-11-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2311
2312         * scripts.texi: Document `--debug' and `--no-debug'.
2313
2314 2001-10-27  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2315
2316         * guile.texi, scsh.texi: removed obsolete guile-scsh material
2317         and updated links (I don't know if it should remain in the
2318         main menu.  It's like slib I think.)
2319
2320         * minor updates to the slib installation notes.
2321
2322 2001-10-05  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
2323
2324         * scheme-evaluation.texi (Fly Evaluation): Removed documentation
2325         for `read-and-eval!' and `eval2'.  (Thanks to Alex Schroeder for
2326         noticing that they'd disappeared!)
2327
2328 2001-10-05  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@glug.org>
2329
2330         * scheme-io.texi (Writing): Add entry for `display'.

2334
2335         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-13): Tyop fix.

2351
2352         * guile.texi (Top): Group all index nodes together so that
2353         `Info-index' works more effectively in Info.  Thanks to Eric
2354         Hanchrow for the report and fix.
2355
2356         * scheme-data.texi (Random, String Syntax, String Modification,
2357         Regular Expressions), scheme-ideas.texi (Definition),
2358         scheme-modules.texi (Dynamic Linking and Compiled Code Modules),
2359         scm.texi (Transforming Scheme name to C name, Port
2360         Implementation): Various typo fixes and clarifications merged from
2361         the stable CVS branch.
2362
2363 2001-08-27  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

2374         The change log for files in this directory continues backwards
2375         from 2001-08-27 in ../ChangeLog, as all the Guile documentation
2376         prior to this date was contained in a single directory.
