+Wed Jan 8 05:50:14 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
+
+ * boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.
+
+Tue Jan 7 20:02:24 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
+
+ * boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
+ that's what it is.
+
+ * lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
+ the case of an empty buffer list. The old code assumed that '()
+ was false.
+
+Mon Jan 6 01:13:53 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
+
+* * boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
+ (use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
+ <module name> ... on the use list of the current module.
+
+Sun Jan 5 15:52:59 1997 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
+
+ * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
+ typing "$" will put you in the debugger. This isn't implemented
+ yet.
+
+Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
+
+ * boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
+ been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
+ (transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.
+
+Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
+
+ * boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
+ controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
+ (process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
+ (try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.
+
+ * boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
+ is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
+ bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
+ appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
+ (such as the-scm-module).
+
+Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
+
+ * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
+ %search-load-path.
+
+Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996 Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>
+
+ * PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
+ * Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
+ * configure.in: Updated for Automake.
+
+Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
+
+ * boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
+ (slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
+ function, use it accordingly.
+
+Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
+
+ It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk." A thunk is a
+ function of no arguments.
+ * boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
+ (make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
+ set-current-module): Uses changed.
+ (module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
+ root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
+ set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
+ (set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
+ *top-level-eval-closure*.
+
+Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
+
+ * slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
+ (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
+
+Sat Nov 2 20:00:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
+
+ * boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
+ aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
+ debug.scm). But during development we want to have them also
+ *inside* boot-9.scm. Therefore, two lines are added at the
+ beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.
+
+ Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
+ `*features*'.
+
+ The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
+ now commonly available for saving the stack. Calling `save-stack'
+ sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
+ `stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.
+
+ Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.
+
+ Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.
+
+ The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
+ If the user wants to see this, he can do
+ (assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.
+
+ The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
+ error.
+
+ Added `before-read-hook'.
+
+ Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.
+
+ (provide): New function.
+
+ (error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
+ in backtraces.
+
+ (backtrace): New function.
+
+ (save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
+ specifier pairs. The first specifier in a pair controls inner
+ border, the second the outer border. A number means cut that
+ number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
+ is found in operator position in a frame.
+
+ * debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
+ by default.
+
+ * slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
+ primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
+ ".scm" extension. (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)
+
+ (implementation-vicinity): New function. slib requires it
+
+ (library-vicinity): Updated.
+
+ Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.
+
+ (install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.
+
+Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
+
+ * boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.
+
+ * boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
+ try-load): Deleted. I don't think they're being used.
+
+ * Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
+ so they'll get distributed.
+
+ Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default. The new user
+ should see as little clutter as possible.
+ * r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
+ * boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
+ (scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.
+
+ * r4rs.scm: New file.
+ * boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
+ (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
+ open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
+ close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
+ call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
+ with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
+ with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
+ with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
+ r4rs.scm. Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
+ that are not.
+ (load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
+ set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.
+
+ * test.scm: New file.
+
+ * boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
+ present in libguile (which used to be called int?). I have no
+ idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.
+
+ * boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
+ =?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.
+
+ * boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
+ work now.
+ (%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used. Set %load-hook to
+ call %load-announce.
+
+Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
+
+ * boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
+ stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
+ stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
+ components.
+ (file-is-directory?): use stat:type.
+
+Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
+
+ * boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
+ that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
+ SCSH (which this isn't).
+
+Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
+
+ * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
+
+Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
+
+ * boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
+ after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
+ to the error handler. E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
+ these.
+ (save-stack): New function. The stack is now made differently
+ depending on the stack id. (The motivation is to make a better
+ choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
+ (error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
+ save-stack.
+
+Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
+
+ * Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.
+
+ * expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.
+
+ * boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
+ error-catching-loop.
+ Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
+ Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
+ Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.
+
+ Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
+ error-catching-loop.
+
+Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
+
+ * boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
+ (make-module): Rework for readability.
+ (make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
+ should be '(), not #f.
+
+ * boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
+ primitive-load-path; adjust call here.
+
+Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
+
+ * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
+ the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
+ error-signal.
+
+Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
+
+ * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
+ handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
+ Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
+ start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.
+
+Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
+
+ * Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.
+
+Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
+
+ * debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.
+
+ * boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
+ throw-handler-default.
+ ((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
+ reported.
+ ((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
+ acro.
+ ((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
+ error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.
+
+Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
+
+ * mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
+ make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
+ port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
+ * boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.
+
+Sun Oct 6 03:54:59 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
+
+ * boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
+ Append "." to the default %load-path.
+ (feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
+ (module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
+ ...))
+ (%load-announce): minor formatting change.
+ (file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
+ (file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
+ (try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
+ file-is-directory?
+
+Sat Oct 5 18:54:03 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
+
+ * boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.
+
+ * threads.scm: New file. Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
+ distribution.
+
+ * boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
+ `switch-repl'.
+
+ * boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.
+
+Wed Oct 2 23:38:44 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
+
+ * boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
+ the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.
+
+Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
+
+ * boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.
+
+ * boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.
+
+Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
+
+ * boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error. Throw
+ to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
+ Don't set up 'error as a key.
+ Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
+ (signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.
+
+ (%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
+ basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
+ try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
+ they seem redundant.
+ (try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
+ (load): rewritten. load tries to open the file directly and
+ with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
+ (should "." be added to %load-path? then load could still open
+ directly files starting with "/").
+ (try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
+ (%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.
+
+ (%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.
+
+Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
+
+ * boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
+ straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
+ (catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity. 2)
+ Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
+ not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
+ than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
+ something better if it wants. 3) In that case, it's much more
+ robust to just do it in the C code.
+
+Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
+
+ * boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load. Previously
+ %try-load itself was the primitive.
+ (load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
+ Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
+ (%load-announce-lossage): deleted.
+
+Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@kenneth>
+
+ * boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
+ (make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
+ for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).
+
+Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
+
+ * boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
+ system-error, not every kind of error.
+ (scm-error): new procedure.
+
+Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>
+
+ * boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.
+
+Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
+
+ * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
+ SCM-style errors. handle the case that an unexpected number
+ of args are supplied.
+ (%%system-errors): removed.
+ (error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
+ ('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
+ %%handle-system-error.
+ (%%default-error-handler): removed.
+ (signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
+ Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
+ (%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.
+
+Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
+
+ * boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
+ (%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
+ Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
+ %S (embed an argument using "write").
+
+Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
+
+ * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
+ the empty list if they are #f.
+ Initialize out-of-range as an error key.
+
+Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
+
+ * PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.
+
+ * boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
+ (%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
+ aborting, just the key and subr.
+ Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
+ Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
+ Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.
+
+Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
+
+ * boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
+ resolved-ref --> nested-ref Motivation: conformance to the other
+ dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
+ operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
+ local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.
+
+Sat Sep 7 06:44:47 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
+
+ * boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
+ by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
+ (fill-message): check first whether args is null.
+ (fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.
+
+Thu Sep 5 11:33:41 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
+
+ * boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
+ (implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
+ initialize %load-path.
+
+ * boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
+ "/", use one to separate it from the file.
+
+Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996 Thomas Morgan <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
+
+ * boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
+ Add the directory named after the version number.
+ Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
+ Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
+ * Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,
+ sitedatadir): New definitions.
+ (libparent, libdir, install_path): Replaced by above.
+ (install): Create the above directories.
+ Put the source files into subpkgdatadir.
+ (uninstall): Remove the above directories.
+
+Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996 Jim Blandy <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>
+
+ Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
+ Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
+ in the Makefile directly.
+ * PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
+ for these.
+ * configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
+ aux_files.
+ * Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
+ here, where people expect to find them.
+
+Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
+
+ * boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
+ module. Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".
+
+ * debug.scm: New file: debug extensions.
+
+Wed Aug 21 13:06:56 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
+
+ * boot-9.scm (print-vector): Renamed weak-hash-table? -->
+ weak-key-hash-table?. (Again!)
+
+Tue Aug 20 07:31:39 1996 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>
+
+ * boot-9.scm (print-vector, macro-table, xformer-table):
+ Renamed weak-hash-table --> weak-key-hash-table.
+
+ * poe.scm (funcq-memo): Renamed weak-hash-table -->
+ weak-key-hash-table.
+
Sat Aug 3 06:16:35 1996 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
* boot-9.scm (*null-device*): global constant from goonix.
