 690         explicitly rather than showing TAG so Emacs info-look can find them,

 768
 769 2004-01-04  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 770
 771         * scheme-scheduling.texi (Threads): Note Guile uses POSIX threads, for
 772         concurrency and preemption.
 773         (C level thread interface): Note periodic libguile call required for C
 774         code in threads, add commented out reminders for SCM_TICK and
 775         guile-mode, for when those features are ready.
 776
 777         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-1 Filtering and Partitioning): For partition
 778         and partition!, emphasise the multi-value return, note partition may

 793
 794         From Stephen Compall.  Thanks!
 795
 796         * intro.texi (What is Guile?): Add @acronym for POSIX, R5RS, GUI,
 797         and HTTP.  Conclude linking libguile.  Say what one can find *for*.
 798
 799         * preface.texi (Manual Conventions): Double-quote some statements
 800         formerly single-quoted.  Remove some redundant quotes around code.
 801         Clarify meaning of `iff' further for those that didn't get it the
 802         first time 'round (like me).  Make graphical indicators samples,
 803         not code.  Put results of evaluation on the same line as @result
 804         symbols.  Use @print example as example of total usage, and remind
 805         readers not to forget the difference.
 806
 807 2003-11-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 808

 813 2003-11-15  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 814
 815         * scheme-data.texi (Random): Add *random-state* variable, put note at

 817         the description of random.
 818
 819 2003-11-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 820
 821         * preface.texi (Manual Layout): Wrap POSIX, API, and SLIB in
 822         @acronym.  Change from paragraph format (somewhat clumsy-looking
 823         on paper, at least) to @table format, with headers @strong.  Made
 824         example modules complete sentences.  From Stephen Compall, thanks!

 949         insensitive string example, add cross references to symbol-hash,
 950         string-hash, string-hash-ci, and char-set-hash.
 951
 952         * scheme-control.texi (Multiple Values): In values, show args as "arg1
 953         ... argN".  In scm_values, note args is a list and returned object
 954         shares structure with it.
 955
 956         * scheme-control.texi (Catch): Add scm_internal_catch.
 957         (Lazy Catch): Add scm_internal_lazy_catch.

 996
 997         * scheme-utility.texi (Property Primitives): In primitive-property-ref,
 998         note parameters to not-found-proc, use hyphens rather than underscores
 999         for that parameter name.
1000         In primitive-property-set!, VAL is the value parameter not CODE.
1001
1002 2003-07-24  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
1003
1004         * scheme-control.texi (Dynamic Wind): Untabify.

1081
1082         From Mike Gran <spikegran@earthlink.net>.  Thanks!
1083
1084         * preface.texi: Minor punctuation mistakes.  Hyphens should link
1085         compound adjectives.  Commas should be placed after a "therefore"

1087         list of only 2 dependent clauses.

1484         from gh.texi to data-rep.texi.  Both files already had similar
1485         descriptions for SCM.  Given that gh.texi is deprecated, looking
1486         up `SCM' in the index should take one to the primary location
1487         rather than deprecated section.  Hence this change.  Added
1488         `@deftp' for scm_t_bits data type so that a proper index entry is
1489         added for this.  Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!

1958         * guile.texi (Top): A little top-level reshuffling, with the aims
1959         that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual
1960         becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
1961         interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
1962         Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
1963         `Programming with Guile'.  This new part will contain general
1964         documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
1965         including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
1966         to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...

1979         * appendices.texi (Obtaining and Installing Guile): Moved to
1980         become a chapter in ...
1981         * intro.texi: ... Part I: Introduction to Guile.
1982
1983         * scm.texi (I/O Extensions): Moved to become a section of ...

2003 2001-10-27  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

2006         and updated links (I don't know if it should remain in the
