 410
 411         * misc-modules.texi (Formatted Output): Changed @w to @w{} in
 412         itemize.  The former doesn't work for some reason...

 415
 416         * misc-modules.texi (Formatted Output): Rewrite, describing escapes

 432         SCM_SMOB_OBJECT_2_LOC, SCM_SMOB_OBJECT_3_LOC, use {} to avoid "*"
 433         getting into the index as part of the macro name.
 434
 435         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-0): Revise for clarity, drop BNF in favour

 452
 453         * data-rep.texi (How Guile does it): Mark as being in limbo.  All
 454         the real documentation will be in the nodes "Programming in C" and
 455         "API Reference".

 514

 527
 528 2004-02-20  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
 529
 530         * scheme-evaluation.texi (Expression Syntax): Turned syntax
 531         description into a table, @deffn is not really up to the task.

 534
 535         * guile.texi: Replaced list of authors with "The Guile

 539
 540         * scheme-evaluation.texi (Expression Syntax): Use an empty name
 541         for the function call syntax definition.  Otherwise, TeX complains
 542         about unbalanced parenthesis.
 543
 544 2004-02-18  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 545
 546         * scheme-evaluation.texi (Expression Syntax): Fill section with
 547         function calling etc, and quote and quasiquote.
 548
 549         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-9): Revise for detail and clarity.  Don't
 550         use ":foo" for example type name, since that depends on the keyword
 551         reading option.
 552
 553 2004-02-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@chunk.mit.edu>
 554

 567
 568 2004-02-15  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 569
 570         * scheme-compound.texi (Hash Table Reference): In scm_hash_ref etc,
 571         remove note that dflt must be given, it can be SCM_UNSPECIFIED.
 572
 573         * scheme-control.texi (while do): Expand and clarify `do', in
 574         particular note iteration binds fresh locations, rather than values
 575         "stored".
 576
 577         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-4): Revise for clarity, give each function
 578         explicitly rather than showing TAG so Emacs info-look can find them,
 579         merge "SRFI-4 - Read Syntax" and "SRFI-4 - Procedures" into just one
 580         node.
 581
 582 2004-02-12  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 583

 590         doubles is now an exact fraction.
 591
 592         * slib.texi (SLIB): Index entry for replacement `system'.
 593
 594 2004-01-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@chunk.mit.edu>
 595
 596         * scheme-compound.texi (Uniform Arrays): Added a FIXME warning
 597         that the 1/3 prototype no longer works.

 614         its own copying terms.  Describe briefly what the licenses mean in
 615         practice.
 616
 617         * scheme-scheduling.texi (Higher level thread procedures): In monitor,
 618         don't let "newly created" suggest a mutex created on every evaluation.
 619         Note what "monitor" means.
 620
 621         * slib.texi (SLIB): Note `system' redefined by (ice-9 slib).  Tweak
 622         `require' example.
 623
 624 2004-01-11  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

 658
 659         * scheme-scheduling.texi (Threads): Note Guile uses POSIX threads, for
 660         concurrency and preemption.
 661         (C level thread interface): Note periodic libguile call required for C
 662         code in threads, add commented out reminders for SCM_TICK and
 663         guile-mode, for when those features are ready.
 664
 665         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-1 Filtering and Partitioning): For partition
 666         and partition!, emphasise the multi-value return, note partition may
 667         share a tail with the given list.
 668
 669         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-1 Searching, SRFI-1 Deleting, SRFI-1
 670         Association Lists): Note how member, delete, delete! and assoc extend
 671         the corresponding core functions.
 672
 673 2003-11-25  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 674

 686
 687         * preface.texi (Manual Conventions): Double-quote some statements
 688         formerly single-quoted.  Remove some redundant quotes around code.
 689         Clarify meaning of `iff' further for those that didn't get it the
 690         first time 'round (like me).  Make graphical indicators samples,
 691         not code.  Put results of evaluation on the same line as @result
 692         symbols.  Use @print example as example of total usage, and remind
 693         readers not to forget the difference.
 694
 695 2003-11-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 696

 705         the description of random.
 706
 707 2003-11-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 708
 709         * preface.texi (Manual Layout): Wrap POSIX, API, and SLIB in
 710         @acronym.  Change from paragraph format (somewhat clumsy-looking
 711         on paper, at least) to @table format, with headers @strong.  Made
 712         example modules complete sentences.  From Stephen Compall, thanks!
 713

 735         Refer to scm_list_n, not the old name scm_listify.
 736         (scm transition summary): For gh_apply, recommend scm_apply_0, which
 737         is now documented.
 738
 739         * gh.texi (Defining new Scheme procedures in C): Don't use
 740         @strong{Note:}, latest makeinfo will complain it looks like a cross
 741         reference.
 742
 743         * posix.texi (Time): Correction to strftime glibc cross reference
 744         node, now "Formatting Calendar Time".

 750
 751         * scheme-compound.texi (Hash Table Reference): Decribe rehashing, note
 752         no hashx-remove!, describe make-hash-table size parameter.
 753
 754 2003-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 755
 756         * scheme-memory.texi: Added a short explanation of the GC and the
 757         conservative stack scanning.
 758         (scm_gc_protect_object, scm_gc_unprotect_object,
 759         scm_permanent_object): New.
 760
 761         * data-rep.texi, scheme-memory.texi (scm_remember_upto_here_1,

1356

1372         from gh.texi to data-rep.texi.  Both files already had similar
1373         descriptions for SCM.  Given that gh.texi is deprecated, looking
1374         up `SCM' in the index should take one to the primary location
1375         rather than deprecated section.  Hence this change.  Added
1376         `@deftp' for scm_t_bits data type so that a proper index entry is
1377         added for this.  Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!

1428

1432
1433         * program.texi (Scheme vs C): New node, with existing material
1434         taken from chapter intro.
1435         (Programming Overview): New intro para to introduce example of

1849         interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
1850         Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
1851         `Programming with Guile'.  This new part will contain general
1852         documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
1853         including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
1854         to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...

1867         * appendices.texi (Obtaining and Installing Guile): Moved to
1868         become a chapter in ...
1869         * intro.texi: ... Part I: Introduction to Guile.
