 386
 387         * misc-modules.texi (Formatted Output): Changed @w to @w{} in

 408         SCM_SMOB_OBJECT_2_LOC, SCM_SMOB_OBJECT_3_LOC, use {} to avoid "*"
 409         getting into the index as part of the macro name.
 410
 411         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-0): Revise for clarity, drop BNF in favour

 428
 429         * data-rep.texi (How Guile does it): Mark as being in limbo.  All
 430         the real documentation will be in the nodes "Programming in C" and
 431         "API Reference".

 505
 506         * scheme-evaluation.texi (Expression Syntax): Turned syntax
 507         description into a table, @deffn is not really up to the task.

 510
 511         * guile.texi: Replaced list of authors with "The Guile

 515
 516         * scheme-evaluation.texi (Expression Syntax): Use an empty name
 517         for the function call syntax definition.  Otherwise, TeX complains
 518         about unbalanced parenthesis.
 519
 520 2004-02-18  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 521
 522         * scheme-evaluation.texi (Expression Syntax): Fill section with
 523         function calling etc, and quote and quasiquote.
 524
 525         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-9): Revise for detail and clarity.  Don't
 526         use ":foo" for example type name, since that depends on the keyword
 527         reading option.
 528
 529 2004-02-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@chunk.mit.edu>
 530

 543
 544 2004-02-15  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 545
 546         * scheme-compound.texi (Hash Table Reference): In scm_hash_ref etc,

 548
 549         * scheme-control.texi (while do): Expand and clarify `do', in
 550         particular note iteration binds fresh locations, rather than values
 551         "stored".
 552
 553         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-4): Revise for clarity, give each function
 554         explicitly rather than showing TAG so Emacs info-look can find them,
 555         merge "SRFI-4 - Read Syntax" and "SRFI-4 - Procedures" into just one
 556         node.
 557
 558 2004-02-12  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>
 559

 566         doubles is now an exact fraction.
 567
 568         * slib.texi (SLIB): Index entry for replacement `system'.
 569
 570 2004-01-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@chunk.mit.edu>
 571
 572         * scheme-compound.texi (Uniform Arrays): Added a FIXME warning
 573         that the 1/3 prototype no longer works.

 590         its own copying terms.  Describe briefly what the licenses mean in
 591         practice.
 592
 593         * scheme-scheduling.texi (Higher level thread procedures): In monitor,
 594         don't let "newly created" suggest a mutex created on every evaluation.
 595         Note what "monitor" means.
 596
 597         * slib.texi (SLIB): Note `system' redefined by (ice-9 slib).  Tweak
 598         `require' example.

 635         * scheme-scheduling.texi (Threads): Note Guile uses POSIX threads, for
 636         concurrency and preemption.
 637         (C level thread interface): Note periodic libguile call required for C
 638         code in threads, add commented out reminders for SCM_TICK and
 639         guile-mode, for when those features are ready.
 640
 641         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-1 Filtering and Partitioning): For partition
 642         and partition!, emphasise the multi-value return, note partition may

 644
 645         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-1 Searching, SRFI-1 Deleting, SRFI-1
 646         Association Lists): Note how member, delete, delete! and assoc extend

 664         formerly single-quoted.  Remove some redundant quotes around code.
 665         Clarify meaning of `iff' further for those that didn't get it the
 666         first time 'round (like me).  Make graphical indicators samples,
 667         not code.  Put results of evaluation on the same line as @result
 668         symbols.  Use @print example as example of total usage, and remind
 669         readers not to forget the difference.
 670
 671 2003-11-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 672

 681         the description of random.
 682
 683 2003-11-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 684
 685         * preface.texi (Manual Layout): Wrap POSIX, API, and SLIB in
 686         @acronym.  Change from paragraph format (somewhat clumsy-looking
 687         on paper, at least) to @table format, with headers @strong.  Made
 688         example modules complete sentences.  From Stephen Compall, thanks!
 689

 711         Refer to scm_list_n, not the old name scm_listify.
 712         (scm transition summary): For gh_apply, recommend scm_apply_0, which
 713         is now documented.
 714
 715         * gh.texi (Defining new Scheme procedures in C): Don't use
 716         @strong{Note:}, latest makeinfo will complain it looks like a cross

 726
 727         * scheme-compound.texi (Hash Table Reference): Decribe rehashing, note
 728         no hashx-remove!, describe make-hash-table size parameter.
 729
 730 2003-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
 731
 732         * scheme-memory.texi: Added a short explanation of the GC and the
 733         conservative stack scanning.
 734         (scm_gc_protect_object, scm_gc_unprotect_object,
 735         scm_permanent_object): New.
 736

 748
 749         * posix.texi (File System): In access?, reword a bit, clarify real

1140         * posix.texi: Changed quotes to match Texinfo expectations.
1141
1142         Added references to the glibc manual.

1146
1147         Fixed argument metasyntactic variable references in
1148         file-manipulation section so the usage in the descriptions matches
1149         the usage in the declarations.

1321
1322         * scheme-modules.texi: split "Scheme and modules" into

1332
1333         * scheme-modules.texi (Compiled Code Modules): Removed description
1334         of scm_register_module_xxx, which no longer exists.  A description

1348         from gh.texi to data-rep.texi.  Both files already had similar
1349         descriptions for SCM.  Given that gh.texi is deprecated, looking
1350         up `SCM' in the index should take one to the primary location
1351         rather than deprecated section.  Hence this change.  Added
1352         `@deftp' for scm_t_bits data type so that a proper index entry is
1353         added for this.  Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!

1409         * program.texi (Scheme vs C): New node, with existing material

1823         that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual

1825         interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
1826         Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
1827         `Programming with Guile'.  This new part will contain general
1828         documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
1829         including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
1830         to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...

1843         * appendices.texi (Obtaining and Installing Guile): Moved to
1844         become a chapter in ...
1845         * intro.texi: ... Part I: Introduction to Guile.
1846

1867 2001-10-27  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

1870         and updated links (I don't know if it should remain in the
1871         main menu.  It's like slib I think.)
