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

        changes.

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

        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.

        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

        example modules complete sentences.  From Stephen Compall, thanks!

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

        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'.

        * scheme-io.texi (Reading): In port-column, port-line,
        set-port-column! and set-port-line!, port parameter must be given,

        line break obscuring it.

2003-08-30  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * data-rep.texi (Remembering During Operations): Note
        scm_remember_upto_here_1 applies only to C automatic variables.

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

        * preface.texi: Minor punctuation mistakes.  Hyphens should link

        * 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!

        Blocks): Move malloc-stats to memory management chapter.

        * scheme-procedures.texi (Syntax Rules): Remove mention of

        taken from chapter intro.

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

        added lots of explanatory text around the @deffn's.

        @unnumbered rather than @chapter for these indices.

        * guile.texi (Top): A little top-level reshuffling, with the aims
        that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual

        interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
        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,
        including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
        to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...

        debugging.texi.

        * appendices.texi: Removed.

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

        * scheme-io.texi (Input and Output): ... this chapter.

        * scm.texi (Handling Errors): Moved to become a section of ...
        * scheme-control.texi (Control Mechanisms): ... this chapter.

        procedures, SRFI-19 Date object and accessors, SRFI-19

2001-10-05  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

        * 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'.

        from 2001-08-27 in ../ChangeLog, as all the Guile documentation
        prior to this date was contained in a single directory.
