* doc/ref/tools.texi (Executable Modules): Say "guile-tools modules"
instead of "executable modules". Remove obsolete statements about
not ending in .scm, being executable, and beginning with shell
script invocation sequence.
* module/scripts/README: Ditto.
It's just one variable definition, and in my opinion it confuses,
rather than helps, the overall build picture to have two names
(preinstguile and meta/guile) for the same thing.
* am/Makefile.am (am_frags): Remove pre-inst-guile.
* am/pre-inst-guile: Deleted.
* doc/ref/Makefile.am: Don't include am/pre-inst-guile.
($(snarf_doc).am, $(snarf_doc).texi): Expand $(preinstguile).
* module/Makefile.am (ice-9/psyntax-pp.scm.gen): Don't include
am/pre-inst-guile.
(ice-9/psyntax-pp.scm.gen): Expand $(preinstguile).
* libguile/strings.c (scm_to_locale_stringn, scm_from_locale_stringn):
Use the encoding of the current locale, not of the current i/o ports.
Also use the current conversion strategy.
* doc/ref/api-data.texi (Conversion to/from C): Update docs.
* libguile/foreign.c (scm_pointer_to_scm, scm_scm_to_pointer): New
functions, useful to pass and receive SCM values to and from foreign
functions.
* module/system/foreign.scm: Export the new functions.
* doc/ref/api-foreign.texi (Foreign Variables): Add docs.
* test-suite/tests/foreign.test ("pointer<->scm"): Tests.
The expansion of `define-inlinable' contained an expression, which made
SRFI-9's `define-record-type' fail in non-toplevel contexts ("definition
used in expression context").
* module/srfi/srfi-9.scm (define-inlinable): Get rid of apparently
useless expression in the expansion, so the expansion yields only
definitions. At the same time, use a space in the generated names to
lessen the chances of name conflicts, also avoiding -Wunused-toplevel
warnings.
* test-suite/tests/srfi-9.test (non-toplevel): New test verifying that
`define-record-type' works in non-toplevel context as well.
* doc/ref/srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-9 - define-record-type): Add
subsubsection noting that Guile does not enforce top-levelness.

* libguile/keywords.c (scm_from_latin1_keyword, scm_from_utf8_keyword):
New functions appropriate for use when keyword name is a constant.
(scm_from_locale_keyword, scm_from_locale_keywordn): Change formal
parameter from `str' to `name'.
* libguile/keywords.h: Add prototypes for new functions. Change formal
parameter of scm_from_locale_keyword* from `str' to `name'.
* doc/ref/api-data.texi: Document new functions. Remind users that
scm_from_locale_keyword should not be used when the name is a C string
constant. Change formal parameter from `str' to `name'.
* doc/ref/api-data.texi (Conversion to/from C): Document
scm_from_latin1_string, scm_from_utf8_string, and
scm_from_utf32_string. Remind readers that these functions should be
used to convert C string constants, and that scm_from_locale_string is
_not_ appropriate for that purpose.
(Symbol Primitives): Document scm_from_latin1_symbol and
scm_from_utf8_symbol. Remind readers that these functions should be
used when the specified names are C string constants, and that
scm_from_locale_symbol is _not_ appropriate for that purpose.
* doc/ref/r6rs.texi (rnrs base): `(finite? x)' returns true iff x is
neither infinite nor a NaN. Previously, it stated that `finite?' was
the negation of `infinite?', which was incorrect because NaNs are
neither finite nor infinite. Combine description of 'nan?' with those
of `finite?' and `infinite?'.
* doc/guile.1: Added the current month and year, Guile version
descriptive text, and the text GNU to the title.
Updated the nroff formatting commands for the SYNOPSIS and OPTIONS
sections to what 'man' prescribes. See 'man(1)', 'man(7)', and
'man-pages(7)'.
Corrected grammar, spelling, and capitalization (for example,
'scheme' to 'Scheme').
Vertical white-space was non-standard (two lines between some
sections, one space between others). Changed this to the standard
one empty line before each section heading, and added dots (a single
period on a line) before every section heading (.SH) so that
maintainers will find the readability unchanged.
Added white space to follow the 'groff' recommendation of starting
every sentence on its own line, and breaking sentences at
punctuation.
Corrected an error in description of the info command.
Added the missing option '--no-debug', and the short switches '-h'
and '-v'.
Changed the description of the environment variable
GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH so that it references the Guile variable
`%load-compiled-path' instead of the variable `%load-path'.
Updated the copyright to include 2011.
This meta-command allows one to set the default number of columns
that output from ,backtrace and ,locals shall occupy.
* doc/ref/scheme-using.texi (Debug Commands): document ,width
* module/system/repl/command.scm (*width*): new var
(backtrace, locals): use *width* in optarg
(width): new meta-command
* doc/ref/api-foreign.texi (Foreign Libraries): Make it clear that the
LIBRARY argument of `dynamic-link' should not contain an extension.
(Foreign Functions): Add cross-reference from `load-extension' to
`dynamic-link'. Typeset file names and module names correctly.
* doc/ref/autoconf.texi (Using Autoconf Macros): Switch example to use
PKG_CHECK_MODULES.
* doc/ref/libguile-linking.texi (A Sample Guile Main Program): Likewise,
and change from configure.in to configure.ac, and recommend
autoreconf.
* doc/ref/api-options.texi (Build Config):
* doc/ref/libguile-linking.texi (Linking Programs With Guile):
(A Sample Guile Main Program):
* doc/ref/libguile-smobs.texi (The Complete Example): Use pkg-config in
the examples instead of guile-config.
* doc/ref/history.texi (A Timeline of Selected Guile Releases): Update
the 2.0 release blurb.
* doc/ref/api-foreign.texi (Modules and Extensions):
* doc/ref/libguile-extensions.texi (A Sample Guile Extension):
* doc/ref/tour.texi (Linking Guile into Programs): Use
@value{EFFECTIVE-VERSION} instead of 2.0. Also fix sample extension
compilation line to include the Guile CFLAGS.
* doc/ref/goops.texi (Class Definition Protocol): Removed `*fixme
Need to insert something here about checking that the value is not
unbound'. It's a fine detail, and also I imagine there could be a
valid application that would choose to allow SCM_GOOPS_UNBOUND
values to escape through here.
* doc/ref/goops.texi (Method Definition): Unindent text about
define-method invoking add-method!.
(Method Definition Internals): Add @noindent's.
(Generic Function Invocation): Add intro text, and tidy up the tree.
* doc/ref/goops.texi (Class Redefinition): Deleted, with its material
all merged into later `Redefining a Class' and `Changing the Class of
an Instance' sections.
* doc/ref/goops.texi (Instance Creation Protocol): Rename from
`Customizing Instance Creation', and move before the more
complicated class definition stuff. Couple of very minor edits.
(Class Definition Protocol): Remove ensure-metaclass-with-supers
(too internal) and repeated material. Move class-redefinition
stuff to (existing) later section on that. Merge reference-like
material from `Customizing Class Definition' to here.
* doc/ref/goops.texi (The Metaobject Protocol): Simplify intro text.
Minor edits and simplifications throughout this section.
(Metaobjects and the Metaobject Protocol): Insert "default".
(Metaclasses): Renamed from `Terminology', and deleted the material
on CPL and accessors, which just duplicated what has already been
covered earlier in the chapter. Remove statements that confuse
whether "metaclass of" means "class of class of" or "class of
(something that is itself a class)". (I think it's actually the
latter.)
(Class Definition Protocol): Renamed from `Class Definition
Internals'.
* doc/ref/api-data.texi (Arithmetic): The R5RS `quotient', `remainder',
and `modulo' operators are exact-integer-only operators. `modulo' is
equivalent to `floor-remainder', not `floor-quotient'.
* libguile/numbers.c (scm_euclidean_divide, scm_centered_divide): Change
API to return two values via output arguments of type (SCM *), instead
of packing into a values object.
(scm_i_euclidean_divide, scm_i_centered_divide): New internal wrappers
that call the above functions and pack the result into a values
object.
* libguile/numbers.h: Change prototypes to reflect new API.
* doc/ref/api-data.h (Arithmetic): Update manual.
* libguile.h:
* libguile/Makefile.am:
* libguile/deprecated.h:
* libguile/deprecated.c:
* libguile/init.c:
* libguile/properties.c:
* libguile/properties.h: Deprecate the "primitive properties"
interface. It was only used to implement object properties, and that
is no longer the case.
* module/ice-9/boot-9.scm (make-object-property): Reimplement just in
terms of weak hash tables, and make threadsafe.
* NEWS:
* doc/ref/api-utility.texi: Update.
