1107 guile-mode, for when those features are ready.
1109 * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-1 Filtering and Partitioning): For partition
1110 and partition!, emphasise the multi-value return, note partition may

1132 formerly single-quoted. Remove some redundant quotes around code.
1133 Clarify meaning of `iff' further for those that didn't get it the
1134 first time 'round (like me). Make graphical indicators samples,
1135 not code. Put results of evaluation on the same line as @result
1136 symbols. Use @print example as example of total usage, and remind
1137 readers not to forget the difference.
1139 2003-11-17 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
1141 * scheme-modules.texi: Document '@' and '@@'.

1153 * preface.texi (Manual Layout): Wrap POSIX, API, and SLIB in
1154 @acronym. Change from paragraph format (somewhat clumsy-looking

2284 incremented from 1.0 to 1.1 to reflect the reorg described here.
2285 (Top): Use MANUAL_EDITION variable.
2287 * scheme-indices.texi (R5RS Index, Guile Extensions Index): Use
2288 @unnumbered rather than @chapter for these indices.
2290 * guile.texi (Top): A little top-level reshuffling, with the aims
2291 that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual
2292 becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
2293 interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
2294 Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
2295 `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
2296 documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
2297 including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
2298 to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
2299 (Top): Move inclusion of scheme-indices.texi so that all indices
2300 appear together in the printed manual.
2302 * Makefile.am (guile_TEXINFOS): Removed appendices.texi, added
2305 * appendices.texi: Removed.
2307 * debugging.texi (Debugger User Interface): New file, same as the
2308 material that used to be in appendices.texi, but now a chapter in
2309 Part II rather than an appendix.
2311 * appendices.texi (Obtaining and Installing Guile): Moved to
2312 become a chapter in ...
2313 * intro.texi: ... Part I: Introduction to Guile.
2315 * scm.texi (I/O Extensions): Moved to become a section of ...
2316 * scheme-io.texi (Input and Output): ... this chapter.
2318 * scm.texi (Handling Errors): Moved to become a section of ...
2319 * scheme-control.texi (Control Mechanisms): ... this chapter.

2324 time and clock resolution, SRFI-19 Time object and accessors,
2325 SRFI-19 Time comparison procedures, SRFI-19 Time arithmetic
2326 procedures, SRFI-19 Date object and accessors, SRFI-19
2327 Time/Date/Julian Day/Modified Julian Day converters, SRFI-19 Date
2328 to string/string to date converters): New nodes.

2337 * guile.texi, scsh.texi: removed obsolete guile-scsh material
2338 and updated links (I don't know if it should remain in the
2339 main menu. It's like slib I think.)
2341 * minor updates to the slib installation notes.

2345 * scheme-evaluation.texi (Fly Evaluation): Removed documentation
2346 for `read-and-eval!' and `eval2'. (Thanks to Alex Schroeder for
2347 noticing that they'd disappeared!)
2349 2001-10-05 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@glug.org>
2351 * scheme-io.texi (Writing): Add entry for `display'.

2371 2001-08-30 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
2373 * guile.texi (Top): Group all index nodes together so that

2375 Hanchrow for the report and fix.
2377 * scheme-data.texi (Random, String Syntax, String Modification,
2378 Regular Expressions), scheme-ideas.texi (Definition),
2379 scheme-modules.texi (Dynamic Linking and Compiled Code Modules),

2395 The change log for files in this directory continues backwards
2396 from 2001-08-27 in ../ChangeLog, as all the Guile documentation
2397 prior to this date was contained in a single directory.
