 332         * gh.texi, data-rep.texi: Moved `@deftyp {Data type} SCM' line
 333         from gh.texi to data-rep.texi.  Both files already had similar
 334         descriptions for SCM.  Given that gh.texi is deprecated, looking
 335         up `SCM' in the index should take one to the primary location
 336         rather than deprecated section.  Hence this change.  Added
 337         `@deftp' for scm_t_bits data type so that a proper index entry is
 338         added for this.  Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!
 339

 796
 797         * preface.texi: Use MANUAL_EDITION variable.
 798         (Manual Layout): Updated to reflect reorg.
 799
 800         * guile.texi (MANUAL_EDITION): New variable, with value
 801         incremented from 1.0 to 1.1 to reflect the reorg described here.
 802         (Top): Use MANUAL_EDITION variable.
 803
 804         * scheme-indices.texi (R5RS Index, Guile Extensions Index): Use
 805         @unnumbered rather than @chapter for these indices.
 806
 807         * guile.texi (Top): A little top-level reshuffling, with the aims
 808         that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual
 809         becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
 810         interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
 811         Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
 812         `Programming with Guile'.  This new part will contain general
 813         documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
 814         including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
 815         to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
 816         (Top): Move inclusion of scheme-indices.texi so that all indices
 817         appear together in the printed manual.
 818
 819         * Makefile.am (guile_TEXINFOS): Removed appendices.texi, added
 820         debugging.texi.
 821
 822         * appendices.texi: Removed.
 823
 824         * debugging.texi (Debugger User Interface): New file, same as the
 825         material that used to be in appendices.texi, but now a chapter in
 826         Part II rather than an appendix.
 827
 828         * appendices.texi (Obtaining and Installing Guile): Moved to
 829         become a chapter in ...
 830         * intro.texi: ... Part I: Introduction to Guile.
 831
 832         * scm.texi (I/O Extensions): Moved to become a section of ...
 833         * scheme-io.texi (Input and Output): ... this chapter.
 834
 835         * scm.texi (Handling Errors): Moved to become a section of ...
 836         * scheme-control.texi (Control Mechanisms): ... this chapter.

 843         procedures, SRFI-19 Date object and accessors, SRFI-19
 844         Time/Date/Julian Day/Modified Julian Day converters, SRFI-19 Date
 845         to string/string to date converters): New nodes.

 852 2001-10-27  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 853
 854         * guile.texi, scsh.texi: removed obsolete guile-scsh material
 855         and updated links (I don't know if it should remain in the
 856         main menu.  It's like slib I think.)
 857
 858         * minor updates to the slib installation notes.

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