1045
1046         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-4): Revise for clarity, give each function
1047         explicitly rather than showing TAG so Emacs info-look can find them,

1149         * scheme-data.texi: Include exact rationals.
1150
1151         From Stephen Compall.  Thanks!
1152
1153         * intro.texi (What is Guile?): Add @acronym for POSIX, R5RS, GUI,
1154         and HTTP.  Conclude linking libguile.  Say what one can find *for*.
1155
1156         * preface.texi (Manual Conventions): Double-quote some statements
1157         formerly single-quoted.  Remove some redundant quotes around code.
1158         Clarify meaning of `iff' further for those that didn't get it the
1159         first time 'round (like me).  Make graphical indicators samples,
1160         not code.  Put results of evaluation on the same line as @result
1161         symbols.  Use @print example as example of total usage, and remind
1162         readers not to forget the difference.

1174         the description of random.
1175
1176 2003-11-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
1177
1178         * preface.texi (Manual Layout): Wrap POSIX, API, and SLIB in
1179         @acronym.  Change from paragraph format (somewhat clumsy-looking
1180         on paper, at least) to @table format, with headers @strong.  Made
1181         example modules complete sentences.  From Stephen Compall, thanks!

1308
1309         * scheme-control.texi (Multiple Values): In values, show args as "arg1
1310         ... argN".  In scm_values, note args is a list and returned object
1311         shares structure with it.
1312
1313         * scheme-control.texi (Catch): Add scm_internal_catch.
1314         (Lazy Catch): Add scm_internal_lazy_catch.

1353
1354         * scheme-utility.texi (Property Primitives): In primitive-property-ref,
1355         note parameters to not-found-proc, use hyphens rather than underscores
1356         for that parameter name.
1357         In primitive-property-set!, VAL is the value parameter not CODE.
1358
1359 2003-07-24  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

1437 2003-06-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
1438
1439         From Mike Gran <spikegran@earthlink.net>.  Thanks!
1440
1441         * preface.texi: Minor punctuation mistakes.  Hyphens should link
1442         compound adjectives.  Commas should be placed after a "therefore"
1443         that begins a sentence.  Commas should not be used to separate a

1841         from gh.texi to data-rep.texi.  Both files already had similar
1842         descriptions for SCM.  Given that gh.texi is deprecated, looking
1843         up `SCM' in the index should take one to the primary location
1844         rather than deprecated section.  Hence this change.  Added
1845         `@deftp' for scm_t_bits data type so that a proper index entry is
1846         added for this.  Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!

2287
2288 2001-11-08  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
2289
2290         * guile.texi (Top): Added new chapter `Programming Options'.
2291
2292         * program.texi: New file.
2293
2294         * Makefile.am (guile_TEXINFOS): Added program.texi.

2302
2303 2001-11-04  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
2304
2305         * preface.texi: Use MANUAL_EDITION variable.
2306         (Manual Layout): Updated to reflect reorg.
2307
2308         * guile.texi (MANUAL_EDITION): New variable, with value

2310         (Top): Use MANUAL_EDITION variable.
2311
2312         * scheme-indices.texi (R5RS Index, Guile Extensions Index): Use
2313         @unnumbered rather than @chapter for these indices.
2314
2315         * guile.texi (Top): A little top-level reshuffling, with the aims
2316         that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual
2317         becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
2318         interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
2319         Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
2320         `Programming with Guile'.  This new part will contain general
2321         documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
2322         including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
2323         to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
2324         (Top): Move inclusion of scheme-indices.texi so that all indices
2325         appear together in the printed manual.
2326
2327         * Makefile.am (guile_TEXINFOS): Removed appendices.texi, added

2332         * debugging.texi (Debugger User Interface): New file, same as the
2333         material that used to be in appendices.texi, but now a chapter in
2334         Part II rather than an appendix.
2335
2336         * appendices.texi (Obtaining and Installing Guile): Moved to
2337         become a chapter in ...
2338         * intro.texi: ... Part I: Introduction to Guile.
2339
2340         * scm.texi (I/O Extensions): Moved to become a section of ...
2341         * scheme-io.texi (Input and Output): ... this chapter.
2342
2343         * scm.texi (Handling Errors): Moved to become a section of ...
2344         * scheme-control.texi (Control Mechanisms): ... this chapter.

2351         procedures, SRFI-19 Date object and accessors, SRFI-19
2352         Time/Date/Julian Day/Modified Julian Day converters, SRFI-19 Date
2353         to string/string to date converters): New nodes.
2354         (SRFI Support): Add "SRFI-19" to menu.

2356 2001-11-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2357
2358         * scripts.texi: Document `--debug' and `--no-debug'.
2359
2360 2001-10-27  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2361
2362         * guile.texi, scsh.texi: removed obsolete guile-scsh material
2363         and updated links (I don't know if it should remain in the
2364         main menu.  It's like slib I think.)
2365
2366         * minor updates to the slib installation notes.

2375
2376         * scheme-io.texi (Writing): Add entry for `display'.

2420         The change log for files in this directory continues backwards
2421         from 2001-08-27 in ../ChangeLog, as all the Guile documentation
2422         prior to this date was contained in a single directory.
