 593
 594         * scheme-evaluation.texi (Expression Syntax): Turned syntax

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

 606         about unbalanced parenthesis.
 607
 608 2004-02-18  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 609
 610         * scheme-evaluation.texi (Expression Syntax): Fill section with
 611         function calling etc, and quote and quasiquote.
 612
 613         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-9): Revise for detail and clarity.  Don't
 614         use ":foo" for example type name, since that depends on the keyword

 638         particular note iteration binds fresh locations, rather than values
 639         "stored".
 640
 641         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-4): Revise for clarity, give each function
 642         explicitly rather than showing TAG so Emacs info-look can find them,
 643         merge "SRFI-4 - Read Syntax" and "SRFI-4 - Procedures" into just one
 644         node.
 645

 655
 656         * slib.texi (SLIB): Index entry for replacement `system'.
 657
 658 2004-01-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@chunk.mit.edu>
 659
 660         * scheme-compound.texi (Uniform Arrays): Added a FIXME warning

 683         Note what "monitor" means.
 684
 685         * slib.texi (SLIB): Note `system' redefined by (ice-9 slib).  Tweak
 686         `require' example.

 722
 723         * scheme-scheduling.texi (Threads): Note Guile uses POSIX threads, for
 724         concurrency and preemption.
 725         (C level thread interface): Note periodic libguile call required for C
 726         code in threads, add commented out reminders for SCM_TICK and
 727         guile-mode, for when those features are ready.
 728
 729         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-1 Filtering and Partitioning): For partition
 730         and partition!, emphasise the multi-value return, note partition may
 731         share a tail with the given list.
 732
 733         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-1 Searching, SRFI-1 Deleting, SRFI-1
 734         Association Lists): Note how member, delete, delete! and assoc extend
 735         the corresponding core functions.

 752         formerly single-quoted.  Remove some redundant quotes around code.
 753         Clarify meaning of `iff' further for those that didn't get it the
 754         first time 'round (like me).  Make graphical indicators samples,
 755         not code.  Put results of evaluation on the same line as @result
 756         symbols.  Use @print example as example of total usage, and remind
 757         readers not to forget the difference.
 758

1436         from gh.texi to data-rep.texi.  Both files already had similar
1437         descriptions for SCM.  Given that gh.texi is deprecated, looking
1438         up `SCM' in the index should take one to the primary location
1439         rather than deprecated section.  Hence this change.  Added
1440         `@deftp' for scm_t_bits data type so that a proper index entry is
1441         added for this.  Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!

1497         * program.texi (Scheme vs C): New node, with existing material
1498         taken from chapter intro.
1499         (Programming Overview): New intro para to introduce example of

1891 2001-11-07  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1892
1893         * scheme-memory.texi, scheme-io.texi, scheme-debug.texi,
1894         scheme-data.texi, scheme-binding.texi, posix.texi,

1896         docstrings.
1897
1898 2001-11-04  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
1899
1900         * preface.texi: Use MANUAL_EDITION variable.
1901         (Manual Layout): Updated to reflect reorg.
1902
1903         * guile.texi (MANUAL_EDITION): New variable, with value
1904         incremented from 1.0 to 1.1 to reflect the reorg described here.
1905         (Top): Use MANUAL_EDITION variable.
1906
1907         * scheme-indices.texi (R5RS Index, Guile Extensions Index): Use
1908         @unnumbered rather than @chapter for these indices.
1909
1910         * guile.texi (Top): A little top-level reshuffling, with the aims
1911         that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual
1912         becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
1913         interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
1914         Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
1915         `Programming with Guile'.  This new part will contain general
1916         documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
1917         including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
1918         to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
1919         (Top): Move inclusion of scheme-indices.texi so that all indices
1920         appear together in the printed manual.
1921
1922         * Makefile.am (guile_TEXINFOS): Removed appendices.texi, added
1923         debugging.texi.

1926
1927         * debugging.texi (Debugger User Interface): New file, same as the
1928         material that used to be in appendices.texi, but now a chapter in
1929         Part II rather than an appendix.
1930
1931         * appendices.texi (Obtaining and Installing Guile): Moved to
1932         become a chapter in ...
1933         * intro.texi: ... Part I: Introduction to Guile.
1934
1935         * scm.texi (I/O Extensions): Moved to become a section of ...
1936         * scheme-io.texi (Input and Output): ... this chapter.
1937
1938         * scm.texi (Handling Errors): Moved to become a section of ...
1939         * scheme-control.texi (Control Mechanisms): ... this chapter.

1945         SRFI-19 Time comparison procedures, SRFI-19 Time arithmetic
1946         procedures, SRFI-19 Date object and accessors, SRFI-19
1947         Time/Date/Julian Day/Modified Julian Day converters, SRFI-19 Date
1948         to string/string to date converters): New nodes.
1949         (SRFI Support): Add "SRFI-19" to menu.

1952
1953         * scripts.texi: Document `--debug' and `--no-debug'.
1954
1955 2001-10-27  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
1956
1957         * guile.texi, scsh.texi: removed obsolete guile-scsh material
1958         and updated links (I don't know if it should remain in the
1959         main menu.  It's like slib I think.)
1960

1970
1971         * scheme-io.texi (Writing): Add entry for `display'.

2015         The change log for files in this directory continues backwards
2016         from 2001-08-27 in ../ChangeLog, as all the Guile documentation
2017         prior to this date was contained in a single directory.
