2002-08-06 Han-Wen Nienhuys <hanwen@cs.uu.nl>
* scheme-memory.texi (Memory Blocks): add scm_calloc, scm_gc_calloc.
correct typos.
2002-08-05 Marius Vollmer <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
* intro.texi, srfi-modules.texi: Added (use-modules (ice-9
rdelim)) to an example that uses read-line. Thanks to Ralf
Mattes!
* scheme-memory.texi: Added an introductory blurb about GC that I
had lying around.
2002-08-02 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
* scheme-modules.texi: split "Scheme and modules" into
"provide and require" and "Environments". Mention R5RS
environments.
2002-07-16 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
* scheme-options.texi (Debugger options): New subsection
describing stack overflow and what to do about it.
2002-07-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
* scheme-modules.texi (Compiled Code Modules): Removed description
of scm_register_module_xxx, which no longer exists. A description
of current techniques is needed.
2002-05-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
* scheme-data.texi (Numbers): Added description of the new values
+inf.0, -inf.0 and +nan.0.

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

Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
`Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,

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