 798         tail call, contrary to SRFI-13 spec.

 845
 846         * misc-modules.texi (Formatted Output): Changed @w to @w{} in

 964
 965         * scheme-evaluation.texi (Expression Syntax): Turned syntax
 966         description into a table, @deffn is not really up to the task.

 980

 982         function calling etc, and quote and quasiquote.
 983
 984         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-9): Revise for detail and clarity.  Don't
 985         use ":foo" for example type name, since that depends on the keyword
 986         reading option.
 987
 988 2004-02-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@chunk.mit.edu>
 989

1005         * scheme-compound.texi (Hash Table Reference): In scm_hash_ref etc,
1006         remove note that dflt must be given, it can be SCM_UNSPECIFIED.
1007
1008         * scheme-control.texi (while do): Expand and clarify `do', in
1009         particular note iteration binds fresh locations, rather than values
1010         "stored".
1011
1012         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-4): Revise for clarity, give each function
1013         explicitly rather than showing TAG so Emacs info-look can find them,
1014         merge "SRFI-4 - Read Syntax" and "SRFI-4 - Procedures" into just one
1015         node.

1027         * slib.texi (SLIB): Index entry for replacement `system'.
1028
1029 2004-01-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@chunk.mit.edu>
1030
1031         * scheme-compound.texi (Uniform Arrays): Added a FIXME warning
1032         that the 1/3 prototype no longer works.

1051
1052         * scheme-scheduling.texi (Higher level thread procedures): In monitor,
1053         don't let "newly created" suggest a mutex created on every evaluation.
1054         Note what "monitor" means.
1055
1056         * slib.texi (SLIB): Note `system' redefined by (ice-9 slib).  Tweak
1057         `require' example.

1093
1094         * scheme-scheduling.texi (Threads): Note Guile uses POSIX threads, for
1095         concurrency and preemption.
1096         (C level thread interface): Note periodic libguile call required for C
1097         code in threads, add commented out reminders for SCM_TICK and
1098         guile-mode, for when those features are ready.
1099
1100         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-1 Filtering and Partitioning): For partition
1101         and partition!, emphasise the multi-value return, note partition may
1102         share a tail with the given list.
1103
1104         * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-1 Searching, SRFI-1 Deleting, SRFI-1

1120         and HTTP.  Conclude linking libguile.  Say what one can find *for*.
1121
1122         * preface.texi (Manual Conventions): Double-quote some statements
1123         formerly single-quoted.  Remove some redundant quotes around code.
1124         Clarify meaning of `iff' further for those that didn't get it the
1125         first time 'round (like me).  Make graphical indicators samples,
1126         not code.  Put results of evaluation on the same line as @result
1127         symbols.  Use @print example as example of total usage, and remind
1128         readers not to forget the difference.

1140         the description of random.
1141
1142 2003-11-13  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>
1143
1144         * preface.texi (Manual Layout): Wrap POSIX, API, and SLIB in

1405         From Mike Gran <spikegran@earthlink.net>.  Thanks!
1406
1407         * preface.texi: Minor punctuation mistakes.  Hyphens should link
1408         compound adjectives.  Commas should be placed after a "therefore"

1807         from gh.texi to data-rep.texi.  Both files already had similar
1808         descriptions for SCM.  Given that gh.texi is deprecated, looking
1809         up `SCM' in the index should take one to the primary location
1810         rather than deprecated section.  Hence this change.  Added
1811         `@deftp' for scm_t_bits data type so that a proper index entry is
1812         added for this.  Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!

2254 2001-11-08  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
2255
2256         * guile.texi (Top): Added new chapter `Programming Options'.
2257
2258         * program.texi: New file.
2259
2260         * Makefile.am (guile_TEXINFOS): Added program.texi.
2261
2262 2001-11-07  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
2263
2264         * scheme-memory.texi, scheme-io.texi, scheme-debug.texi,
2265         scheme-data.texi, scheme-binding.texi, posix.texi,
2266         new-docstrings.texi: Automatic updates from improved libguile
2267         docstrings.
2268
2269 2001-11-04  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
2270
2271         * preface.texi: Use MANUAL_EDITION variable.
2272         (Manual Layout): Updated to reflect reorg.
2273
2274         * guile.texi (MANUAL_EDITION): New variable, with value
2275         incremented from 1.0 to 1.1 to reflect the reorg described here.
2276         (Top): Use MANUAL_EDITION variable.
2277
2278         * scheme-indices.texi (R5RS Index, Guile Extensions Index): Use
2279         @unnumbered rather than @chapter for these indices.
2280
2281         * guile.texi (Top): A little top-level reshuffling, with the aims
2282         that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual
2283         becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
2284         interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
2285         Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
2286         `Programming with Guile'.  This new part will contain general
2287         documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
2288         including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
2289         to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
2290         (Top): Move inclusion of scheme-indices.texi so that all indices
2291         appear together in the printed manual.
2292
2293         * Makefile.am (guile_TEXINFOS): Removed appendices.texi, added
2294         debugging.texi.
2295
2296         * appendices.texi: Removed.
2297
2298         * debugging.texi (Debugger User Interface): New file, same as the
2299         material that used to be in appendices.texi, but now a chapter in
2300         Part II rather than an appendix.
2301
2302         * appendices.texi (Obtaining and Installing Guile): Moved to
2303         become a chapter in ...
2304         * intro.texi: ... Part I: Introduction to Guile.
2305
2306         * scm.texi (I/O Extensions): Moved to become a section of ...
2307         * scheme-io.texi (Input and Output): ... this chapter.
2308
2309         * scm.texi (Handling Errors): Moved to become a section of ...
2310         * scheme-control.texi (Control Mechanisms): ... this chapter.
2311

2315         time and clock resolution, SRFI-19 Time object and accessors,
2316         SRFI-19 Time comparison procedures, SRFI-19 Time arithmetic
2317         procedures, SRFI-19 Date object and accessors, SRFI-19
2318         Time/Date/Julian Day/Modified Julian Day converters, SRFI-19 Date
2319         to string/string to date converters): New nodes.
2320         (SRFI Support): Add "SRFI-19" to menu.
2321
2322 2001-11-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
2323

2325
2326 2001-10-27  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
2327
2328         * guile.texi, scsh.texi: removed obsolete guile-scsh material
2329         and updated links (I don't know if it should remain in the
2330         main menu.  It's like slib I think.)
2331
2332         * minor updates to the slib installation notes.

2336         * scheme-evaluation.texi (Fly Evaluation): Removed documentation
2337         for `read-and-eval!' and `eval2'.  (Thanks to Alex Schroeder for

2363
2364         * guile.texi (Top): Group all index nodes together so that
2365         `Info-index' works more effectively in Info.  Thanks to Eric
2366         Hanchrow for the report and fix.
2367
2368         * scheme-data.texi (Random, String Syntax, String Modification,

2370         scheme-modules.texi (Dynamic Linking and Compiled Code Modules),
2371         scm.texi (Transforming Scheme name to C name, Port

2386         The change log for files in this directory continues backwards
2387         from 2001-08-27 in ../ChangeLog, as all the Guile documentation
2388         prior to this date was contained in a single directory.
