 386
 387         * libguile-smobs.texi: Bugfix in example code, use SCM_NEWSMOB
 388         correctly.  Use scm_assert_smob_type instead of SCM_ASSERT

 415         n-par-map and n-for-each-par-map, describe each form as being in its
 416         own thread, not a new thread, since for instance the calling thread is
 417         used when only one form.  Plus typo in n-for-each-par-map example
 418         equivalent for-each + n-par-map.
 419

 479         value).
 480
 481 2004-08-14  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 482
 483         * api-scheduling.texi (Mutexes): New datatype-centric section, adding

 690
 691         * scheme-evaluation.texi (Expression Syntax): Turned syntax
 692         description into a table, @deffn is not really up to the task.

 710         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-9): Revise for detail and clarity.  Don't
 711         use ":foo" for example type name, since that depends on the keyword

 713
 714 2004-02-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@chunk.mit.edu>
 715

 735         particular note iteration binds fresh locations, rather than values
 736         "stored".
 737
 738         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-4): Revise for clarity, give each function
 739         explicitly rather than showing TAG so Emacs info-look can find them,
 740         merge "SRFI-4 - Read Syntax" and "SRFI-4 - Procedures" into just one
 741         node.
 742

 754
 755 2004-01-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@chunk.mit.edu>
 756
 757         * scheme-compound.texi (Uniform Arrays): Added a FIXME warning

 820         * scheme-scheduling.texi (Threads): Note Guile uses POSIX threads, for
 821         concurrency and preemption.
 822         (C level thread interface): Note periodic libguile call required for C
 823         code in threads, add commented out reminders for SCM_TICK and
 824         guile-mode, for when those features are ready.
 825
 826         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-1 Filtering and Partitioning): For partition

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

 868 2003-11-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 869
 870         * preface.texi (Manual Layout): Wrap POSIX, API, and SLIB in
 871         @acronym.  Change from paragraph format (somewhat clumsy-looking
 872         on paper, at least) to @table format, with headers @strong.  Made
 873         example modules complete sentences.  From Stephen Compall, thanks!

1132
1133         * preface.texi: Minor punctuation mistakes.  Hyphens should link
1134         compound adjectives.  Commas should be placed after a "therefore"
1135         that begins a sentence.  Commas should not be used to separate a
1136         list of only 2 dependent clauses.

1517
1518         * scheme-modules.texi (Compiled Code Modules): Removed description
1519         of scm_register_module_xxx, which no longer exists.  A description

1531
1532         * gh.texi, data-rep.texi: Moved `@deftyp {Data type} SCM' line
1533         from gh.texi to data-rep.texi.  Both files already had similar
1534         descriptions for SCM.  Given that gh.texi is deprecated, looking
1535         up `SCM' in the index should take one to the primary location
1536         rather than deprecated section.  Hence this change.  Added
1537         `@deftp' for scm_t_bits data type so that a proper index entry is
1538         added for this.  Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!
1539
1540         * data-rep.texi (Subrs): Changed scm_make_gsubr to

2007         * guile.texi (Top): A little top-level reshuffling, with the aims
2008         that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual
2009         becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
2010         interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
2011         Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
2012         `Programming with Guile'.  This new part will contain general
2013         documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
2014         including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
2015         to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...

2027
2028         * appendices.texi (Obtaining and Installing Guile): Moved to
2029         become a chapter in ...
2030         * intro.texi: ... Part I: Introduction to Guile.
2031
2032         * scm.texi (I/O Extensions): Moved to become a section of ...

2055         and updated links (I don't know if it should remain in the
