+
+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
+ new Part.
+
+ * guile.texi: Merged Parts V and VI into a single Part: "Extending

+ 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.

+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,

+ * guile.texi: @include new files instead of scheme.texi. Reorder
+ existing top level nodes.

+
+ * scheme-data.texi: Remove @page breaks (following demotion).
+
+ * guile.texi (Top), scheme-ideas.texi: Demote everything one level
+ 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

+ and program execution.
+
+ * scheme.texi (About Procedures): Minor textual improvements.
+
+2000-10-29 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
+
+ * scheme.texi (About Expressions, About Closure): Placeholder
+ structure for remaining introductory Scheme material.
+

+ (end of file): Added Local Variables block for TeX-master
+ variable.
+
+ * guile.texi (Top): "R4RS Scheme" node changed to "Guile and R5RS
+ Scheme". Added Scheme introductory chapters: About Data, About
+ Procedures and About Expressions. New Options chapter for options
+ material. New Optional Arguments chapter as placeholder for
+ (ice-9 optargs) material. New chapter for "Further Reading". New

+
+ * 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
+ track of source material changes.
+
+ * scheme.texi (Lists): Use "@example" in docstring for append.

+ standalone uses of @xref.
+
+ * scheme.texi (Structure Layout): Doc for make-struct-layout
+ changed to remove reference to "read-only" strings, which no
+ longer exist.

+ reference.
+ (Dynamic Roots): Use @code rather than @var for code, in doc for

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

+ port-revealed and set-port-revealed!, since these are covered in
+ posix.texi.

+ simpos.c, scmsigs.c, stime.c.

+1998-04-29 Mark Galassi <rosalia@cygnus.com>

+

+
+1997-11-23 Mark Galassi <rosalia@cygnus.com>

+
+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

+ 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

+ (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
