2001-01-26 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
* scm.texi (Handling Errors): Improved markup.
(snarfing): Deleted.
* data-rep.texi: File copied here from sources directory and
integrated into the reference manual structure.
* extend.texi (Libguile Intro): New file, new node, to introduce

* preface.texi (Manual Layout): Updated according to merge of
Parts V and VI.
* gh.texi: Restructured into a single chapter.
* scm.texi (C Port Interface, Port Implementation): Moved here
from scheme-io.texi.

Environment'.
(Port Internals): Contents moved to scm.texi.
* r5rs.texi: Changes to allow building of r5rs.dvi from r5rs.texi.
Aubrey Jaffer's view - which I agree with - is that, given that
people have the option of building r5rs.dvi from the original
LaTeX distribution for R5RS, it is not worth fixing his master
copy of r5rs.texi and the tool which autogenerates it. On the
other hand, it is a marginal convenience for people to be able to
build hardcopy from r5rs.texi, even if the results are less good
than with the original LaTeX. Hence the following fixes.
(lines 714, 725, 728, 1614, 2258): Remove invalid parentheses from
@deffn statements.
(line 2316): Change @deffnx to @deffn, and insert `@end deffn' to
terminate preceding @deffn.
(line 7320): Insert `@c ' at beginning of lines that are intended
to be @ignore'd.
* guile.texi, r4rs.texi, r5rs.texi: Align @direntry descriptions
to start in column 32.
2001-01-24 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

block.
2000-12-06 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
This change replaces scheme.texi, which is unmanageably large, by
a set of smaller one-per-chapter files. The set and ordering of
the new files reflects the intended top level structure of the
Guile Scheme part of the reference manual. This structure is not
yet all reflected in the combined Texinfo/Info, though, because I
haven't yet fixed the @node levels appropriately.
* scheme.texi: Removed, after dividing content into new files.
* scheme-procedures.texi, scheme-utility.texi,
scheme-binding.texi, scheme-control.texi, scheme-io.texi,
scheme-evaluation.texi, scheme-exceptions.texi,
scheme-memory.texi, scheme-modules.texi, scheme-scheduling.texi,
scheme-options.texi, scheme-translation.texi, scheme-debug.texi,
slib.texi: New files.
* guile.texi: @include new files instead of scheme.texi. Reorder
existing top level nodes.

so that previous chapters About Data, About Procedures, About
Expressions and About Closure are now combined into a single
Scheme Ideas chapter. Add overall chapter introduction. Fix up
top level nodes accordingly.
* guile.texi (Top), scheme.texi, scheme-data.texi: Gather material
for Generic Data Types chapter into a new file
(scheme-data.texi). @include new file in guile.texi. Fix up top
level nodes accordingly. (This changes demotes all the affected
material by one level, except for that which was already grouped
together under the Data Structures node.)
* guile.texi (Top): @include new files.
* scheme-intro.texi, scheme-ideas.texi: New files.
* scheme.texi (Guile and R5RS Scheme): Moved introductory chapter
to its own file (scheme-intro.texi).
(About Closure) Chapter completed.
(About Data, About Procedures, About Expressions, About Closure):
Ideas chapters moved to their own file (scheme-ideas.texi);
scheme.texi was just getting too large!
2000-11-09 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
* posix.texi (Ports and File Descriptors): updated
close-all-ports-except.
2000-11-07 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>

* gh.texi (Starting and controlling the interpreter): Removed
obsolete note about boot-9.scm not being loaded by gh_enter.
(Thanks to Chris Cramer for pointing this out.)
2000-10-06 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
* guile.texi, scheme.texi, posix.texi: Simplified docstring
comments: (i) they new refer to the Texinfo-format file that is
generated by snarfing when libguile is built, rather than to
individual C files in the libguile source; (ii) there is no longer
a need to keep MD5 digest values for the corresponding source
docstring, since I'm now using a different mechanism for keeping

* posix.texi (Pipes): open-pipe and close-pipe are procedures (in
ice-9/popen.scm), not primitives.

gh_make_subr() since Mikael pointed out that it is gone from
Guile. I don't remember its history any more, but I don't think
anyone is missing it.
1998-01-03 Tim Pierce <twp@skepsis.com>

`primitive' or `syntax' as appropriate.
(Records): Change record-type-field-names to record-type-fields.
(Low level thread primitives): Change with-new-thread to
call-with-new-thread.
Sun Dec 7 22:47:22 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
* posix.texi (Processes): add "system" procedure.
1997-11-23 Mark Galassi <rosalia@cygnus.com>
* gh.texi (Starting and controlling the interpreter): added
documentation for gh_repl() -- gh_repl() has changed since I saw
the scm_shell() routine.
1997-11-19 Tim Pierce <twp@twp.tezcat.com>
* scheme.texi (String Fun): New node.
(Hash Tables): Added `get-handle' and `create-handle!' docs.

getserv, getproto. Expanded on miscellaneous docs.

* Makefile.in: Regenerated.
* guile-ref.texi: Reorganize top-level menu. @include posix.texi.
* scheme.texi: Moved many nodes around, some restructuring
(e.g. new "Data Structures" node for records, structures, arrays,
hash tables, and so on).
1997-10-19 Mark Galassi <rosalia@cygnus.com>
* gh.texi (Calling Scheme procedures from C): added many routines
as I go through R4RS and try to complete the gh_ interface.
Wed Oct 8 04:51:54 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

1997-10-03 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@nada.kth.se>
* scheme.texi (Vtables): Changed 0 --> @code{vtable-index-layout};
Changed @code{struct-vtable-offset} --> @code{vtable-offset-user};
Added short note about the print call-back initializer. (This
section is in need of review. However, we shoudn't spend much
time on it since the structs will be replaced by something
equivalent, but with a different interface.}
Sun Sep 28 00:02:35 1997 Mark Galassi <rosalia@nis.lanl.gov>
* scheme.texi (Keywords): very small re-organization to take
advantage of the fact that read-options is now documented in
another chapter.
Thu Sep 25 23:37:02 1997 Mark Galassi <rosalia@nis.lanl.gov>
* scheme.texi (Guile options interface): renamed the symbol case
section to "Guile options interface". "Reader options" is now a
subsection of that. I've finally figured a lot of how options
work, thanks to discovering Mikael's comments in options.c and an
old note from Mikael to Jim describing it.
(Guile options interface): reorganized the individual option
groups. This section (on options) of the manual is now reasonably
complete, unless I am completely missing something.
Wed Sep 24 15:25:03 1997 Mark Galassi <rosalia@nis.lanl.gov>
* scheme.texi (The Guile module system): Added a bit more to this
chapter, mostly the more user-friendly (use-modules (ice-9
module-name)) approach.
(Symbol case): tried to write something about this, but it will
need to be reviewed by someone who understands the big picture of
read options. I also think the section name should be changed to
something like "Read options".
Sun Sep 21 18:45:57 1997 Mark Galassi <rosalia@nis.lanl.gov>
* scheme.texi (SLIB): some little details, including splitting off
what does in the installation chapter. Also added a section on
Jacal, which has some open issues.
* appendices.texi (Packages not shipped with Guile): added this
section to describe getting resources on SCSH, SLIB and Jacal (and
who knows what else in the future).
Sat Aug 30 19:31:22 1997 Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
* scheme.texi (Uniform Array): mention start and end arguments
for uniform-array-read! and uniform-array-write.
