1867 that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual
1868 becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
1869 interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
1870 Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
1871 `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
1872 documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
1873 including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
1874 to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...

1876 appear together in the printed manual.

1971 The change log for files in this directory continues backwards
1972 from 2001-08-27 in ../ChangeLog, as all the Guile documentation
1973 prior to this date was contained in a single directory.
