  43. positions.
  44. (Trap Shorthands): Depersonalize.
  45. 2008-03-18 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
  46. * api-debug.texi (Traps): Minor edits.

  92. * api-debug.texi (Breakpoints): Removed.
  93. * scheme-debugging.texi (Debugging Features): Breakpoint-related
  94. text removed.
  95. (Intro to Breakpoints, Breakpoints Overview, Source Breakpoints,
  96. Procedural Breakpoints, Setting Breakpoints, break! trace!
  97. trace-subtree!, Accessing Breakpoints, Breakpoint Behaviours,
  98. Enabling and Disabling, Deleting Breakpoints, Breakpoint

  110. HEAD.
  111. 2007-10-02 Ludovic Courtès <ludo@gnu.org>
  112. * slib.texi (SLIB installation): Don't recommend using the site
  113. directory for the symlink; instead, suggest either adding a
  114. symlink in `/.../share/guile/1.8' (because slib will look for
  115. its files in the implementation vicinity by default) or defining
  116. `SCHEME_LIBRARY_PATH'. Mention `new-catalog'.
  117. 2007-08-11 Ludovic Courtès <ludo@gnu.org>
  118. * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-34): New node.
  119. (SRFI-35): New node.

  127. 2007-06-07 Ludovic Courtès <ludovic.courtes@laas.fr>
  128. * api-control.texi (Dynamic Wind): Fixed typo. Reported by
  129. Norman Hardy.
  130. 2007-05-16 Ludovic Courtès <ludovic.courtes@laas.fr>

  133. 2007-03-08 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>

  135. make-vtable.
  136. * api-io.texi: Add various @cindex entries.
  137. * slib.texi (SLIB): Shorten the bit about core funcs overridden.
  138. Don't want to duplicate the SLIB specs, and the set of modified bits
  139. is likely to change over time and don't want to have to keep up with
  140. that.
  141. 2007-02-22 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
  142. * posix.texi (Signals): Merge sleep and usleep, note usleep not
  143. actually microsecond accurate, remove warning usleep not always
  144. available (guile has own code for it now, it's not the system call).
  145. Cross reference scm_std_sleep / scm_std_usleep.
  146. * posix.texi (Signals): Merge getitimer and setitimer, describe what
  147. each timer does, use @defvar to get them indexed, caution may not
  148. actually be microsecond accurate.
  149. 2007-02-16 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
  150. * api-compound.texi (Records): In make-record-type, describe optional
  151. print function argument.
  152. 2007-01-25 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
  153. * posix.texi (Signals): Note signal handlers run via system async and
  154. can hence be delayed quite a while. Struck by William Xu.
  155. 2007-01-16 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
  156. * api-data.texi (Mapping Folding and Unfolding): In string-unfold,
  157. ssay make_final default is nothing extra. The `(lambda (x) )' shown
  158. was not quite right, it would have been `(lambda (x) "")' if anything.
  159. * api-init.texi (Initialization): Cross reference Runtime Environment
  160. for scm_set_program_arguments.
  161. * posix.texi (Runtime Environment): Expand program-arguments
  162. description, add set-program-arguments, add scm_set_program_arguments,
  163. note args are per-thread.
  164. 2006-12-14 Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>
  165. * api-procedures.texi (let-keywords Reference): Expand variously to
  166. make it clear what's actually taken and done. Shortfalls reported by

  1641. Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
  1642. `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
  1643. documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
  1644. including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how

  1673. and updated links (I don't know if it should remain in the
  1674. main menu. It's like slib I think.)

  1676. 2001-10-05 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
  1677. * scheme-evaluation.texi (Fly Evaluation): Removed documentation

  1679. noticing that they'd disappeared!)
  1680. 2001-10-05 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@glug.org>
  1681. * scheme-io.texi (Writing): Add entry for `display'.
