2008-07-17  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

	* gds-client.scm (handle-nondebug-protocol): Add support for
	setting a trap on code that is about to be evaluated.

2008-04-14  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

	* gds-client.scm (gds-debug-trap): Ensure that frame index passed
	to Emacs is always positive.

2008-03-19  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

	* debugging/ice-9-debugger-extensions.scm (command-loop): Use
	needed modules.

2008-02-22  Ludovic Courtès  <ludo@gnu.org>

	* match.scm: Export `match:andmap'.  This fixes evaluation of
	expressions like `(match expr (((_ ...) ...) #t))' where a list
	of lists is to be matched.

2008-01-22  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

	* COPYING: Removed.

2007-10-02  Ludovic Courtès  <ludo@gnu.org>

	* slib.scm: Let SLIB's `guile.init' do most of the job.  See the
	`guile-devel@gnu.org' mailing list archive for details.

2007-09-01  Andy Wingo  <wingo@pobox.com>

	* boot-9.scm (duplicate-handlers)[warn, warn-override-core]:
	Send warnings to `stderr' instead of `stdout'.

2007-08-08  Ludovic Courtès  <ludo@gnu.org>

	* boot-9.scm (%record-type-check): Renamed to
	`%record-type-error'.
	(record-accessor): Directly use `struct-vtable' and
	`struct-ref', thereby avoiding indirections and procedure-call
	overhead.
	(record-modifier): Likewise.

2007-05-05  Ludovic Courtès  <ludo@chbouib.org>

	Implemented lazy duplicate binding handling.  Fixed the
	`module-observe-weak' API.

	* boot-9.scm: Updated the `module-type' documentation under "{Low
	Level Modules}".
	(module-type)[import-obarray]: New slot.
	[duplicates-interface, observer-id]: Removed.
	(make-module): Updated accordingly.  Use a weak-key hash table for
	weak observers, so that observers aren't unregistered when the
	observing closure gets GC'd.
	(module-duplicates-interface, set-module-duplicates-interface!,
	module-observer-id, set-module-observer-id!): Removed.
	(module-import-obarray): New.
	(module-observe-weak): Accept a new OBSERVER-ID argument allowing
	callers control over when the observer will get unregistered.
	(module-call-observers): Use `hash-for-each' rather than
	`hash-fold'.
	(module-local-variable, module-variable): Removed, now implemented
	in C.
	(module-make-local-var!): Simplified.  No need to check for the
	value of a same-named imported binding since the newly created
	variable is systematically assigned afterwards.
	(module-use!): Check whether MODULE and INTERFACE are `eq?'.
	(module-use-interfaces!): Simplified.  No longer calls
	`process-duplicates'.
	(beautify-user-module!): Use `module-use!' rather than
	`set-module-uses!' when importing THE-SCM-MODULE.
	(process-define-module): Added an AUTOLOADS local variable so that
	autoloads are handled separately from regular interfaces.
	(make-autoload-interface): Updated `module-constructor'
	invocation.
	(module-autoload!): New.
	(make-duplicates-interface, process-duplicates): Removed.
	(top-repl): Use `module-autoload!' rather than
	`make-autoload-interface'.
	
2007-02-18  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

	* gds-client.scm (connect-to-gds): Break generation of client name
	into ...
	(client-name): New procedure.
	(client-name): Put something from (program-arguments) in the
	client name that GDS displays in Emacs.
	(connect-to-gds, client-name): Add application-name arg to allow
	caller to specify client name.

2007-02-09  Ludovic Courtès  <ludovic.courtes@laas.fr>

	* Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added `i18n.scm'.

2007-01-31  Ludovic Courtès  <ludovic.courtes@laas.fr>

	* i18n.scm: Use `(ice-9 optargs)'.  Don't export `LC_*_MASK'
	variables.  Added new exports.
	(locale-encoding, locale-day-short, locale-day,
	locale-month-short, locale-month, locale-am-string,
	locale-pm-string, locale-date+time-format, locale-date-format,
	locale-time-format, locale-time+am/pm-format, locale-era,
	locale-era-year, locale-era-date+time-format,
	locale-era-date-format, locale-era-time-format,
	locale-currency-symbol, locale-monetary-fractional-digits,
	locale-monetary-positive-sign, locale-monetary-negative-sign,
	locale-monetary-decimal-point,
	locale-monetary-thousands-separator,
	locale-monetary-digit-grouping,
	locale-currency-symbol-precedes-positive?,
	locale-currency-symbol-precedes-negative?,
	locale-positive-separated-by-space?,
	locale-negative-separated-by-space?,
	locale-positive-sign-position, locale-negative-sign-position,
	%number-integer-part, add-monetary-sign+currency,
	monetary-amount->locale-string, locale-digit-grouping,
	locale-decimal-point, locale-thousands-separator,
	number->locale-string, locale-yes-regexp, locale-no-regexp): New
	procedures.
	(define-vector-langinfo-mapping, define-simple-langinfo-mapping,
	define-monetary-langinfo-mapping): New macros.

2007-01-04  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

	* boot-9.scm (top-repl): Check (defined? 'SIGBUS) before using that
	value, there's no such signal on mingw.  Reported by Cesar Strauss.

2006-12-13  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

	* boot-9.scm (use-srfis, top-repl): Use process-use-modules, to
	correctly handle duplicates between the core and other modules, in
	particular srfi-17 which should replace `car' etc (but didn't).

2006-12-09  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

	* boot-9.scm (top-repl): Remove module-use! of the core `(guile)'
	module.  It's already in `(guile-user)' and the module-use! elevates
	it making core bindings override those from elsewhere, such as `iota'
	under a run of "guile --use-srfi=1".  Reported by Sven Hartrumpf.

2006-11-13  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

	* boot-9.scm (environment-module): Change eval-closure-module call
	back to procedure-property lookup.  (This completes the reversion
	of the change made on 2005-06-10, which was only partially undone
	by the change on 2005-08-01.)

2006-10-13  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

	Integration of Unix domain socket patch from William Xu:
	
	* gds-client.scm (connect-to-gds): Try to connect by Unix domain
	socket if TCP connection fails.

	* gds-server.scm (run-server): Update to support listening on a
	Unix domain socket.

2006-10-05  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

	* ftw.scm (visited?-proc): Use hashv since we know we're getting
	numbers.  Incorporate stat:dev, since stat:ino is only unique within a
	single device.  This fixes a bug where if two files with the same
	inode on different devices where seen only the first would be returned
	by ftw (and nftw).

2006-10-03  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

	* gds-client.scm (run-utility): Remove unnecessary
	`connect-to-gds' call.

2006-09-30  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

	* debugging/ice-9-debugger-extensions.scm (debug-trap): Use
	`debugger-command-loop' instead of `read-and-dispatch-commands',
	which isn't actually available.  Thanks to Carlos Pita for
	reporting this.
	(debugger-command-loop): Define here for 1.6.x.

2006-09-25  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

	* debugging/ice-9-debugger-extensions.scm (debugger:step):
	Docstring improvements.
	(debugger:next): Docstring improvements.
	(debugger:continue): Docstring improvements.

	* debugger/commands.scm (up, down): Docstring corrections.
	(info-args, info-frame, position, evaluate): Docstring
	improvements.

2006-09-23  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

	* boot-9.scm (log, log10, exp, sqrt): Remove, now in
	libguile/numbers.c.

2006-09-07  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

	* format.scm: Module "(ice-9 threads)" no longer used, now no mutex.
	(format:parse-float): Fix normalization of leading zeros like "02.5"
	to "2.5".  left-zeros was zeroed before adjusting format:fn-dot,
	resulting in the latter being unchanged.

2006-08-18  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

	* debugging/trc.scm: New file.

	* debugging/traps.scm: New file.

	* debugging/trace.scm: New file.

	* debugging/steps.scm: New file.

	* debugging/load-hooks.scm: New file.

	* debugging/ice-9-debugger-extensions.scm: New file.

	* debugging/example-fns.scm: New file.

	* debugging/breakpoints.scm: New file.

	* debugging/Makefile.am: New.

	* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add debugging.

2006-08-02  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

	* boot-9.scm (%record-type-check): New function.
	(record-accessor, record-modifier): Use it for a strict type check of
	the given record.  Previously an accessor returned #f on a wrong
	record type, and modifier silently did nothing.

2006-06-19  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

	* Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add new files.

	* gds-client.scm, gds-server.scm: New files.

2006-05-28  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

	* documentation.scm (file-commentary): Move make-regexp into
	file-commentary so that it's possible to get to the repl prompt when
	regexps are not available.

2006-05-09  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

	* threads.scm (n-par-for-each, n-for-each-par-map): Two more spots
	where `futures' should become `threads' from Marius' change of
	2006-01-29.

2006-03-04  Ludovic Courtès  <ludovic.courtes@laas.fr>

	* ice-9/boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Don't call `set-car!' if
	the autoload interface has already been removed from MODULE's uses.
	This bug showed up when using a given module both with `autoload' and
	`use-module'.

2006-02-21  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

	* format.scm (format:out-dollar): Use format:out-inf-nan per ~f etc.

2006-02-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

	* deprecated.scm (make-uniform-array): Don't pass the prototype as
	the fill value, dimensions->uniform-array will do the right thing
	now.  See scm_dimensions_to_uniform_array why we need to be tricky
	about the fill value.

2006-02-04  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

	* boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Make sure that module code is
	loaded with the default reader (current-reader #f).  Thanks to
	Ludovic Courtès for pointing this problem out.

	* stack-catch.scm (stack-catch): Use catch pre-unwind handler
	instead of lazy-catch.

	* boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Use catch pre-unwind handler
	instead of lazy-catch.

2006-02-01  Ludovic Courtès  <ludovic.courtes@laas.fr>

        * deprecated.scm (make-uniform-array): Fill the returned vector with
	PROT, per guile 1.6 behaviour.

2006-01-30  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

	* threads.scm (ice-9): Export %thread-handler.

2006-01-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

	* threads.scm: Replaced 'futures' with threads.

2006-01-13  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

	* boot-9.scm (repl-reader): Use value of current-reader fluid to
	do the read, if set.  (Thanks to Ludovic Courtès for the patch.)

2005-12-14  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

	* boot-9.scm (load-module): Support an optional custom reader arg,
	implemented by passing on to r4rs's load.

	* r4rs.scm (load): Support an optional custom reader arg,
	implemented by passing on to primitive-load.

2005-12-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

	From Stephen Compall.
	
 	* boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-features): Add srfi-61.

2005-10-27  Ludovic Courtès  <ludovic.courtes@laas.fr>

	* networking.scm (sockaddr:flowinfo, sockaddr:scopeid): New functions.

2005-09-01  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

	* debugger/utils.scm: Export write-frame-long.

2005-08-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

	* boot-9.scm (set-module-eval-closure!): Undone change from
	2005-06-10; with the new weak hashtable semantics, cyclic
	references are no longer a problem.

2005-07-09  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

	* debugger.scm: Remove comments which are now incorrect.

	* debugger/Makefile.am (ice9_debugger_sources): Removed
	breakpoints.scm, behaviour.scm, trap-hooks.scm.
	(SUBDIRS): Removed.

	Changes to remove breakpoint support from CVS, as I am now
	developing this function outside Guile core.
	
	* debugger/commands.scm (assert-continuable, continue, finish,
	trace-finish, step, next): Removed.

	* debugger/breakpoints/*: Removed.
	
	* debugger/breakpoints.scm: Removed.
	
	* debugger/command-loop.scm: Remove command definitions for
	continue, finish, trace-finish, step and next.

	* debugger/behaviour.scm: Removed.

	* debugger.scm (debug-stack): Remove GDS related code.

2005-06-10  Han-Wen Nienhuys  <hanwen@xs4all.nl>

	* boot-9.scm (set-module-eval-closure!): remove
	set-procedure-property! closure 'module. Setting this property
	causes un-gc-able modules.

2005-06-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

	* boot-9.scm (substring-fill!): New, for compatability.

2005-04-23  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

	* boot-9.scm (make-list): Moved to C code in list.c

2005-04-14  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

	* boot-9.scm (1+, 1-): Moved to numbers.c.

2005-03-08  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

	* slib.scm (*features*): Remove 'random, need to use the slib code for
	that module since guile doesn't provide `random:chunk'.

2005-02-12  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>

	* boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-features): add srfi-55.
	(require-extension): add require-extension macro for srfi-55.

2005-01-29  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

	* regex.scm (regexp-quote): Use string-for-each, now that function is
	in the core.

2005-01-28  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

	* boot-9.scm (while): Remove the unquote from do, it breaks with ice-9
	syncase.  Reported by Pach Roman.

2005-01-10  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

	* arrays.scm, deprecated.scm (uniform-vector-fill!,
	make-uniform-vector, make-uniform-array, list->uniform-vector):
	Moved from arrays.scm to deprecated.scm.
	* arrays.scm, boot-9.scm (array-dimensions): Moved from arrays.scm
	to boo-9.scm.
	* Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed arrays.scm.
	
2005-01-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

	* arrays.scm (uniform-vector-fill!, make-uniform-vector,
	make-uniform-array,list->uniform-array): Deprecated for real.

2004-12-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

	* arrays.scm (make-array, list->array): Removed.
	(uniform-vector-fill!): Prepared to be deprecated.

2004-12-22  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

	* boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): When creating a new
	variable, initialize it to the value of any imported variable with
	the given name.  This allows code like (define round round) to
	work as expected.

        From Antoine Mathys <tonigonenstein@users.sourceforge.net>:

	* popen.scm: Support bidirectional communication by making
	open-pipe support OPEN_BOTH as second argument and in that case
	return a soft input-output port which uses two pipes internally.
	Provide open-pipe* to execute programs without using the shell
	(and actually base open-pipe on it) and the obvious
	open-input-output-pipe.

2004-12-14  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

	* boot-9.scm: (string-any, string-every): Use a scheme wrapper around
	the C code so for the final call to the predicate procedure is a tail
	call, per SRFI-13 spec.

2004-12-01  mvo  <mvo@zagadka.de>

	* boot-9.scm (app, %app): Renamed former to the latter.
	Previously, 'app' was reserved in every module.  Now '%app' is
	reserved, which is slightly better.  The real fix is to not use
	'local-ref' etc to find modules.  Changed all uses.
	* syncase.scm: Changed 'app' to '%app'.

2004-11-12  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

	* arrays.scm: Do not use prototypes, use creator functions.

2004-11-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

	* arrays.scm (uniform-vector-read!, uniform-vector-write):
	Removed.

2004-11-05  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

	* boot-9.scm: Do not add "." to %load-path. 'load' will still be
	able to load files in the current directory, but 'use-modules' etc
	will not.

2004-10-29  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

	* arrays.scm: Do not install read-hash procedure for reading
	arrays, this is done in libguile now.

2004-10-27  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

	* arrays.scm (uniform-vector?, uniform-vector-set!): Removed, now
	provided by libguile.

2004-10-26  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

	* boot-9.scm: Added srfi-4 to cond-expand features.

2004-10-18  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

	* format.scm (format:obj->str): Simplified considerably by using
	object->string or display instead of implementing our own printer.
	Handle format:read-proof here.  Unreadable objects are recognized
	by their "#<" prefix instead of by being unknown to the custom
	printer (which would treat keywords as unprintable, for example).
	(format:iobj->str): Removed.
	
2004-10-04  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

	* boot-9.scm (symbol->keyword, keyword->symbol): Removed, they are
	now implemented in C.

2004-09-26  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

	* optargs.scm (let-optional-template, let-keywords-template): Change
	"(begin body)" to "(let () body)" for empty bindings, since the former
	allows "internal defines" in body leak out to the surrounding
	environment.

2004-09-23  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

	* boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Pass rest argument to
	display-backtrace for wrong-type-arg and out-of-range errors so
	that the bad value gets highlighted.

2004-09-04  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

	* streams.scm (stream-for-each-many): Correction, should recurse into
	itself, not stream-for-each-one.

	* time.scm (time-proc): Make result inexact, since format ~f doesn't
	support fractions currently.

2004-09-08  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

	* boot-9.scm (expt): Only call integer-expt for an exact integer
	exponent, not for an inexact integer one.  Also, let integer-expt
	handle negative exponents instead of doing it here.

2004-09-02  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

	* format.scm (format:out): Ignore excess arguments, per common lisp.

	* format.scm (format:out-num-padded): Print "+" on 0 under @ modifier.

2004-08-27  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

	* regex.scm (regexp-quote): [ and | must be quoted.  Quote ( ) { + ?
	using char class [(] etc since \( in fact makes them become special in
	regexp/basic.

2004-08-25  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

	* and-let-star.scm (and-let*): Give #t for an empty body, per srfi-2
	spec, previously came out as an empty (begin).

2004-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

	* boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-features): Added srfi-13 and srfi-14.

2004-08-20  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

	* debugger/utils.scm (display-source): Use unmemoize-expr instead
	of unmemoize.
	(write-frame-short/expression): Likewise.

2004-08-18  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

	* and-let-star.scm: Add cond-expand-provide srfi-2, since this module
	provides that feature.
	* receive.scm: Add cond-expand-provide srfi-8, since this module
	provides that feature.

2004-08-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

	From Matthias Koeppe.  Thanks!
	
	* pretty-print.scm (generic-write): In the local procedure `wr', use
	object->string to print all data (except for the reader macros),
	rather than implementing an own printer.  The user-visible
	difference is that procedures and control characters like #\tab
        are now printed in the same way as by `write'.

2004-08-09  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

	* slib.scm (*features*): Remove array and array-for-each, core
	definitions are insufficient for latest slib.
	(t, nil): New constants slib says are supposed to exist.
	(call-with-open-ports, browse-url): New functions for latest slib.
	Implementations taken from Template.scm (public domain).
	(open-file): Extend core definition to accept symbols for the mode,
	required by latest slib.
	(delete-file): Replace core definition with version returning #t/#f as
	per slib spec.
	(system): Mark as #:replace to suppress override warning, use new
	style "(@ (guile) system)" to call core function.

2004-05-25  Matthias Koeppe  <mkoeppe@mail.math.uni-magdeburg.de>

	* format.scm: Remove the arbitrary limit of 100 iterations for the
	~{...~} control structure.

2004-07-10  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

	* and-let-star.scm (and-let*): Remove unused variable "val".
	* pretty-print.scm (read-macro-prefix): Remove unused variable "tail".

	* boot-9.scm (%cond-expand-features): Add srfi-6 which is in the core.

	* safe-r5rs.scm (re-export): Uncomment numerator, denominator,
	rationalize, since they now exist.
	
2004-07-05  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

	* slib.scm (system): Correction to redefinition, now guile is stricter
	about when a define binding comes into existance.

2004-05-29  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>

	* boot-9.scm: Reordered definitions such that macro definitions
	preceed their first usage.  Include and define deprecated stuff
	late in the file to have a better change of detecting accidental
	uses of deprecated definitions. Further, unified the layout a
	little and grouped definitions more cleanly into topics.

2004-05-24  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

	* history.scm (use-value-history): Use resolve-interface instead
	of resolve-module so that only the exported bindings are searched.

2004-05-04  Dirk Herrmann  <dirk@dirk-herrmanns-seiten.de>

	* boot-9.scm (resolve-module): Always start searching from the

	* boot-9.scm (top-repl): Make the (guile-user) module use the
	(ice-9 r5rs) module.

2004-02-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

	accordance with slib spec.

	to depend on expansion environment.

	to Paul Jarc!

2003-10-09  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

	* poe.scm (funcq-assoc): Rewrite, don't assume '() is false, and

	support.

	progress on new debugging front end).

2003-09-24  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

	reentrant.  No mutex is necessary.  Thanks to Clinton Ebadi!

2003-09-13  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

	* boot-9.scm (file-exists?): Use stat rather than access?, so as to
	follow the effective UID/GID not the real ID.  file-exists? is
	normally used as a prelude to opening or some other operation, and
	it's the effective ID which will apply there.  Emacs file-exists-p
	uses stat, presumably for the the same reason.

2003-09-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

	* boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Use a proper hashtable as
	the obarray, not an empty vector.
	(make-module): Always construct a hashtable for the obarray, even
	for empty ones.

	* format.scm (format:error): Use 'format:format' instead of
	'format' since the latter will lock the mutex again that we have

	* boot-9.scm (while): Rewrite, continue as proper escape, break
	without return value, break and continue new for each while form,
	don't depend on bindings in expansion environment.

	* popen.scm (open-process): Close input-fdes, output-fdes and
	error-fdes after duping them to 0, 1 and 2.

	New.

	of keyword-symbol, which doesn't exist.  Thanks to Kevin Ryde.

	arguments to hashx-get-handle.  Thanks to Kevin Ryde!

	* lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port) Pass 0 as second
	argument to string-ref.  Thanks to Kevin Ryde!

2003-04-25  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>

	has been removed from the core.

2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* syncase.scm (define-syntax, eval-when, fluid-let-syntax,
	identifier-syntax, let-syntax, letrec-syntax, syntax, syntax-case,

	* psyntax.ss (datum->syntax-object): Removed assertion in
	datum->syntax-object that checked if the first argument, a
	syntax-object, is an identifier.  This was a unconvenient and
	unnecessary restriction.  Thanks to Dorai Sitaram!

2002-01-12  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	More options for pretty-print.  Thanks to Matthias Köppe!

	  syncase.scm, threads.scm: Move module the system directives
	  `export', `export-syntax', `re-export' and `re-export-syntax'

	* boot-9.scm (process-define-module): New options: :export-syntax,
	:re-export-syntax

2001-10-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>

	* arrays.scm (read:uniform-vector): Return *unspecified* instead
	of raising an exception if hash extend character isn't followed by
	the array list. (This prevents parsing of uniform vectors from
	interfering with parsing of numbers.)

2001-10-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>

	* emacs.scm (%%load-port, %%emacs-load, %%emacs-eval-request,

2001-08-30  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>

	not just its exported bindings, before throwing error.

2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Get variables from the public
	interface of a module instead of from the module itselfs.

2001-08-25  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Change "foreign" to "gnu".

2001-08-12  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>

2001-07-31  Keisuke Nishida  <knishida@nurs.or.jp>

	* boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Fixed a bug that did not
	handle :use-syntax correctly.

2001-07-18  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

	* null.scm: Use `re-export' instead of `export' for re-exported
	core bindings.  Do not export `unquote' and `unquote-splicing'
	since there aren't definitions for them.

	* boot-9.scm (compile-interface-spec): Bug fix: the keyword
	argument is "renamer" not "rename".

2001-07-09  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>

	* boot-9.scm: Fixed the sense of the error message when read-eval?
	is #f.  Thanks to Matthias for catching this.

2001-07-06  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>

	* boot-9.scm: added fix suggested by Matthias for #. read
	extension -- now only works if read-eval? is not #f.

2001-06-30  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* arrays.scm:  Don't install a read-hash-extension for 'b':  #b
	is already defined by R5RS.  Further, there is already a working
	read syntax for bitvectors, starting with #*.

2001-06-30  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

2001-06-13  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>

	* match.scm:
	No longer use module `(ice-9 slib)'.

	`include-deprecated-features' when conditionally using the (ice-9
	rdelim) module.  See below.

2001-06-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* boot-9.scm: use the (ice-9 rdelim) module if
	include-deprecated-features is true.

2001-06-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* pretty-print.scm (generic-write): Use `object->string' to print

	* optargs.scm (lambda*): Make sure that BODY is always put into a
	real body context so that it can contain internal definitions.
	Thanks to Matthias Köppe!

	* format.scm: Use (ice-9 and-let-star).
	(format:out): Initialize format:output-col with current column of
	`port', if it has one.  Else leave it alone.  Thanks to Matthias
	Köppe!

2001-06-05  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* boot-9.scm (module-ensure-local-variable!): Renamed from
	`module-ensure-variable!'.  Make sure that there really is a local
	variable, not just a visible one.
	(module-ensure-variable!): See above.
	(module-export!): Behave like always when deprecated features are
	enabled, but issue a warning when re-exporting a variable.  When
	deprecated features are disabled, only export local variables,
	creating them uninitialized when they don't yet exist.
	(module-re-export!): New.  Use this for re-exporting imported
	variables.
	(re-export): New, to go with `module-re-export!'.

	* format.scm: Added kluge at top that keeps `export' from
	re-exporting the `format' variable of the `(guile)' module.

2001-06-04  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* boot-9.scm (named-module-use!, top-repl): Use resolve-interface

	Added exception notice to all files.

	* boot-9.scm (module-export!): Revert 2001-06-02 change.  It
	caused more problems than it solved by accidentally re-exporting
	importing bindings once in a while.

2001-06-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* boot-9.scm (try-load-module): Bracket calls to try-module-linked
	and try-module-dynamic-link with `begin-deprecated'.

	registered-modules, register-modules, warn-autoload-deprecation,

	try-using-sharlib-name, link-dynamic-module, try-module-linked,
	try-module-dynamic-link): Deprecated.  Activate deprecation
	message.

	fix command so that it works.

	* session.scm (apropos-fold, submodules, apropos): Be careful not
	to access unbound variables.

	* boot-9.scm (module-ensure-variable!): New.
	(module-export!): Use it to ensure that there is a variable to
	export.  Previously, we would always create a new variable, copy
	the value over, and export the new variable.  This confused
	syncase since it keys important properties on variables.

2001-06-01  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* boot-9.scm (top-repl): Revert part of the 2001-05-19 change.
	When defining the guile-user module, do not use any modules.  Add

	(compile-interface-spec, compile-define-module-args): New.
	(define-module): Use compile-define-module-args to construct
	argument for process-define-module.
	(use-modules, use-syntax): Use compile-interface-spec to construct
	arguments for process-use-modules.
	(process-define-module): Expect keywords in argument list.

	`procedure->memoizing-macro' to get at the lexical environment.
	Use `env-module' instead of `current-module' to get the right
	module.

	* pretty-print.scm: New file, copied from SLIB.
	(generic-write): Return the `unspecified' value.

	deprecated features have been removed.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith!

	* psyntax.pp: Regenerated.

	* rdelim.scm:  Call `%init-rdelim-builtins'.

	* rw.scm: Call `%init-rw-builtins'.

	* boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Do not call
	set-current-module.
	(define-module): Do it here, in the expansion.
	(top-repl): Do not define '(guile-user)' module and conditionally
	load `(ice-9 threads)' and/or `(ice-9 regex)' here.  Do it on
	top-level as the last thing in boot-9.scm instead.
	(%load-path): Use `list' instead of `cons' to create a single
	element list when adding "." to it.
	(process-define-module, process-use-modules, module-export!): Add
	dummy definitions prior to booting the mdule system.

2001-05-18  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>

	now accepts arg; update callers.

	Factor "TYPE not found for X" output into internal proc.
	Support `(quote SYMBOL)'; call `search-documentation-files'.
	(help-doc): If initial search fails, try using
	`search-documentation-files'.
	(apropos-fold-accessible, apropos-fold-all): Use `identity'
	instead of `(lambda (x) x)'.  "An identity edit", ha ha.
	(help-usage): Mention support for "(help 'NAME)".

	* documentation.scm: Fix documentation for Guile Documentation
	Format Version 2: Mention required terminating newlines.

	(find-documentation): Delete.
	(search-documentation-files): New proc, exported.
	(object-documentation): Use `search-documentation-files'.

2001-05-15  Martin Grabmueller  <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>

	* boot-9.scm (cond-expand-features): Made the feature list public,
	so it can be manipulated by `use-srfis'.
	(use-srfis): New procedure.

2001-05-15  Thien-Thi Nguyen  <ttn@revel.glug.org>

	* boot-9.scm (resolve-interface): Signal error now also if
	used module's public interface is not available.
	No longer call `beautify-user-module!'.
	Signal error now also if selected binding not found.

	* session.scm (apropos): Do not use `builtin-bindings', always use

	the default default for bindings.

	* boot-9.scm (module-make-local-var!): Do not pass name hint to

	(root-module-closure): Removed.

	`pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.
	(scm-module-closure): Removed.

	`pre-modules-obarray'.  Do not use a lazy binder.  Set the
	eval-closure to a `standard-interface-eval-closure'.

2001-01-24  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	calls '(symbol-interned? #f s)'.  Formerly, these calls were
	basically no-ops, guaranteed to return #t if 's' was a symbol.
	After the separation of symbols and bindings, a call to
	'(symbol-interned? #f s)' will only return #t if there really is a
	binding for 's' in the scm_symhash table.  Thanks to Dale P. Smith
	for providing a test case that helped finding this bug.

2000-12-13  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	any more.

2000-12-12  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* boot-9.scm (top-repl):  Lookup 'use-emacs-interface in
	the-root-module.

2000-12-07  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

	* emacs.scm (flush-whitespace): Fix spelling typo ("recieving").

2000-11-28  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* boot-9.scm (read-delimited), lineio.scm

2000-11-07  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	and open-output-pipe.

2000-11-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	close-all-ports-except to close ports in the child process, since
	it causes port buffers to be flushed.  they may be flushed again
	in the parent, causing duplicate output.  use a more elaborate
	method for setting up the child descriptors (thanks to David
	Pirotte for the bug report).
	standard file descriptors 0, 1, 2 in the child process
	are now set up from current-input-port etc., where possible.

2000-10-10  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	(symbol-append): Map `symbol->string' on

	(obarray-symbol-append, obarray-gensym): Simply removed.  I don't
	think I'll announce this in NEWS even.  One of the functions never

	`symbol->string'.
	(try-module-autoload, process-define-module): Rewrote using R5RS

2000-06-27  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* popen.scm:  gc-thunk is deprecated.  Use after-gc-hook instead.

2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* common-list.scm (intersection, set-difference, remove-if,
	remove-if-not):  Made tail-recursive.  Thanks to William Webber
	for the hint.

	(delete-if!, delete-if-not!):  Renamed parameter from `list' to
	`l' in order to avoid confusion.  Note:  These functions are not
	tail recursive yet.

2000-06-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm: Turned `the-module', `*top-level-lookup-closure*',
	and `scm:eval-transformer' into fluids.

	* boot-9.scm (purify-module!, module-export!): New procedures.
	(export): Rewritten using `module-export!'.
	(process-define-module): New define-module options: pure, export.
	See NEWS.
	(scm-style-repl): Added optional module argument.

	* null.scm, r5rs.scm, safe-r5rs.scm, safe.scm: New modules.

2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* session.scm (make-fold-modules): Detect circular references in
	module graph.  (Thanks to Matthias Köppe.)

2000-06-20  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

	* session.scm: Use module (ice-9 regex).
	(help): Regexp-quote a name given as a symbol.

2000-06-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* common-list.scm (list*):  Removed, since this function is
	implemented as a primitive in libguile/list.c.

2000-06-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

	* session.scm (help): Warn user if 'regex isn't provided.

	* Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed getopt-gnu-style.scm.

	* getopt-gnu-style.scm: Removed deprecated module.

2000-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Set init value for uses to
	'() instead of #f.
	(make-modules-in): Name modules with their real (= full) names.
	(the-root-module, the-scm-module): Named `(guile)' instead of
	`the-root-module'.
	(the-scm-module): Set kind to 'interface.

	* Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Replaced doc.scm with
	documentation.scm.

	* session.scm (ice-9): Use module (ice-9 documentation).
	(name): Use the name property if everything else fails.
	(apropos-fold): New procedure.
	(apropos-internal): Re-implement in terms of `apropos-fold'.
	(help): Rewritten.

	* doc.scm: Removed module (ice-9 doc).

	* documentation.scm: New module (ice-9 documentation).

2000-06-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

	* doc.scm (documentation-files): Renamed from `doc-files'.
	(write-all): Removed.
	(find-documentation): Renamed from `documentation'.  Return
	documentation string instead of printing it.  Not exported.

Tue Jun  6 09:21:28 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gregb@go2net.com>

	* session.scm: Update references to `proc-doc' to be
	`proc-documentation'

	* doc.scm: Cleaned up a great deal.  Put variables at the top of
	the file, eliminated `object-documentation' that was broken
	(referencing Scwm), drop `help' as session.scm has a better
	supported version of that procedure. Rename `proc-doc' to
	`proc-documentation' -- `procedure-documentation' is a primitive
	getter function, so I use the shorter name for this more useful
	function.  (Alternatively, we could rename the primitive
	getter...)

2000-06-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Inform about debugger on error.

2000-06-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm (scm-module-closure): New procedure: Was previously
	anonymous.  Now needed in modules.c.
	(make-module): Use `standard-eval-closure' to create the eval
	closure.

2000-05-14  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* boot-9.scm (load-user-init): rewritten.  first work out the home
	directory and then try to open the file (previously it could try
	to open a file in more than one place).  catch exceptions when
	trying to get a directory from the user database.  don't check
	that ~/.guile is not a directory before trying to load it (a lack
	of ~/.guile is not a crime, but if the file is not valid for any
	reason then primitive-load will raise an error).

2000-05-11  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* boot-9.scm (abs):  Don't set to magnitude.  abs now does not
	accept complex numbers as parameter.

2000-05-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* common-list.scm (delete-if-not!): Bug fix of bug fix: change
	label of named let to `delete-if-not'.  Sorry.

2000-05-08  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* common-list.scm (doc fixes): Talk about `true values' instead of
	`#t' when a function treats all non-#f valuers the same.
	(remove-if-not): Bug fix: call remove-if-not
	instead of remove-if when iterating.
	(delete-if-not!): Bug fix: call delete-if-not! instead of
	delete-if! when iterating.

2000-04-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

	* r4rs.scm (close-input-port, close-output-port): Removed.

2000-04-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

	* session.scm (help): New macro.  Prints helpful information.

2000-04-10  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* popen.scm (open-process): after forking, close all ports except
	the end of the pipe to the parent.  otherwise move->fdes and
	the exec'd program and the exit handlers can interfere with file
	descriptors still in use in parent ports.

2000-04-09  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* popen.scm (close-process-quietly): new procedure.  use it from
	reap-pipes to avoid errors or hanging during background cleanup.

2000-04-04  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* format.scm (format:obj->str): Handle circular references.  Also,
	print improper lists with (x y . z) syntax rather than as
	individual pairs.  (This code should probably be integrated into C
	level facilities.  It is currently terribly slow.)

2000-04-03  Michael Livshin  <mlivshin@bigfoot.com>

	* streams.scm (stream-fold, stream-for-each): don't use named let,
	because it prevents the gc from junking the stream argument.

Thu Mar  9 08:05:08 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* slib.scm: Back-out change to software-type -- renamed
	slib:software-type to software-type, and leave it non-public.

Thu Mar  2 12:20:52 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* boot-9.scm: Drop unused definition of sfx function -- thanks
	Dirk Hermann!

Wed Mar  1 12:21:02 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* streams.scm: Doc patch from Richard Kim, using MIT Scheme as
	source of the numerous very short changes.

Sun Feb 13 18:03:19 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* slib.scm: Rename software-type to slib:software-type and make it
	public.

	* r4rs.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted from R4RS
	info pages.

Sun Feb 13 17:49:29 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* common-list.scm: Added documentation; largely cut and pasted
	from slib docs.

2000-02-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* format.scm (format): Reintroduce (define format format:format)
	so that the binding in the public interface of the module will be OK.

2000-01-30  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): pass strings, not symbols,
	to string-append.

2000-01-29  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

	* expect.scm (expect): don't call char-ready? before expect-select,
	since select now checks port buffers itself.  don't bother to check
	the time first either, since expect-select does it.

Thu Jan 20 12:57:36 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* format.scm: Use (variable-set! (builtin-variable 'format)) to
	re-define format to be format:format (instead of just define,
	which interacts poorly with the module system).  Thanks to Shuji
	Narazaki for this change.

Tue Jan 11 10:49:22 2000  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* boot-9.scm expect.scm, syncase.scm: Switch to new style
 	`simple-format' message strings: substitute ~A for %s, and ~S for
 	%S.

	* boot-9.scm:  Added (define format simple-format) to expose that
	primitive via the simpler name until format.scm is loaded.

2000-01-09  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Do not bother to look
	inside libtool ".la" file, dynamic-link does this for us now.

1999-12-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>

	* slib.scm (library-vicinity, home-vicinity,
	scheme-implementation-type, scheme-implemenation-version):
	use define-public to export from the module.

Wed Dec 15 08:32:09 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* doc.scm: Use `%library-dir' and the other system directories,
 	not the quickly defuncted `library-dir' that I added before
 	realizing the former existed.  Thanks Brad Knotwell!

Sun Dec 12 19:18:52 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* Makefile.am, doc.scm: Added doc.scm.

1999-12-12 18:54:06 1999  Greg J. Badros  <gjb@cs.washington.edu>

	* popen.scm, slib.scm: Added some docstrings for procedures that
	were primitives that I encountered in posix.texi.

1999-11-19  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>

	* Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add arrays.scm.

	* boot-9.scm: load arrays.scm if 'array is provided.

	* arrays.scm: new file with stuff from boot-9.scm.

1999-11-18  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>

	* boot-9.scm (read-hash-extend to set up arrays): add 'l' for
	long_long uniform vectors.

1999-11-17  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>

	* networking.scm (sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent, setservent):
	take an optional argument STAYOPEN.  default is #f.

1999-10-05  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>

	* Makefile.in: Deleted from CVS repository.  Run the autogen.sh
	script to create generated files like this one.

1999-09-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@freewire.co.uk>

	* boot-9.scm (load-user-init): check that the posix feature is
	available before using getpw and getuid.
	(top-repl): don't install handlers for SIGINT etc., without posix.
	(file-is-directory?): use 'posix instead of i/o-extensions to
	check for stat.
	(load-user-init): use file-exists? and file-is-directory? to
	check for .guile, instead of stat.
	(file-is-directory?): don't display the file name if posix not
	available.
	(feature?): I guess this is deprecated.  redefined using "provided?"
	and changed users in boot-9.scm to "provided?".
	Conditionally load posix.scm and networking.scm.

	posix.scm, networking.scm: new files.  Move definitions from
	boot-9.scm if they are only useful with posix/networking available.

	* Makefile.am (ice9_sources): add posix.scm, networking.scm.

1999-09-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

	* debugger.scm (read-and-dispatch-commands): Handle other throws
	than 'exit-debugger.

	* boot-9.scm (before-signal-stack): New fluid.
	(top-repl): Set before-signal-stack in the signal handler.

	* debugger.scm (eval-handler): Handle unhandled exceptions.

1999-09-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

	* debugger.scm ("p"): New alias for "evaluate";
	Mark module with :no-backtrace.
	("position"): New command.
	(source-position, display-position): New procedures.
	(display-source): Display position of expression, if available.
	(catch-user-errors): Return #f on error.  (Commands are expected
	to return a valid state.)
	(read-and-dispatch-command): Bugfix: Return old state on error.

1999-09-16  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>

	* regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Handle the end of the
	match list and an empty match list identically.  (Thanks to Greg
	Badros.)

1999-09-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

	* debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Replaced `write-line' with calls to
	`write' and `newline' since write-line doesn't write but displays.

1999-09-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

	* debugger.scm ("evaluate"): Newline after no env announcement.

	* debug.scm, emacs.scm: Updated copyright notices.

	* boot-9.scm (make-autoload-interface): Bugfix.
	(top-repl): Autoload debugger.

	* debugger.scm ("backtrace"): Don't pass length param to
	display-backtrace if it wasn't explicitly given by the user.
	(write-frame-long/application): Also print corresponding source
	expression.
	("evaluate"): Evaluate in local environment frame, if existent;
	Handle errors.

1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>

	* format.scm (format:format-work): Use #\tab and #\page instead of
	slib:form-feed and slib:tab.  (Thanks to Ceri Storey.)

	* format.scm (format:abort): Call error, not slib:error.

1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm (using-readline?): New procedure: Returns #t if
	readline is used by the repl run by this thread.
	(handle-system-error): Print "Backtrace:" before backtrace since
	this is no longer done by display-backtrace.

	* debug.scm (frame-number->index): Optionally take stack as
	argument.

	* debugger.scm: Use the frame number abstraction which allows for
	both forward and backward views of the stack
	(write-frame-index-short, write-frame-index-long):
	Use selector `frame-number';
	(select-frame-absolute): Use frame-number->index.
	("backtrace"): Use builtin backtrace printing.
	Use (ice-9 debug).
	Use readline conditionally.

1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>

	* regex.scm (fold-matches, list-matches): New functions.
	(regexp-substitute/global): Rewritten again in terms of
	list-matches, to get null match behavior correct.

	* regex.scm (regexp-substitute/global): Rewrite so that 'post at
	the end of the item list actually causes a tail call.  (Thanks to
	Jan Nieuwenhuizen.)

1999-09-11  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* readline.scm: Moved to ../guile-readline.

	* boot-9.scm (top-repl): Removed code for activating readline.

	* Makefile.am: Removed mention of readline.scm.

	* Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1999-09-11  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>

	Delete the test which compares the configuration date of libguile
	with the configuration date of ice-9.  This test yields too many
	false positives to be helpful.  For example, if you build Guile
	for several architectures but have them all share a "share"
	directory (which is supposed to work), then all but one
	architecture's Guile will complain that the configuration dates
	don't match.  Which is true, but indicates nothing wrong.
	* boot-9.scm: Delete code which compares ice-9-config-stamp with
	libguile-config-stamp.
	* version.scm.in: Delete.
	* Makefile.am (ice9_generated): Delete.
	(subpkgdata_DATA): Remove ice9_generated.
	(EXTRA_DIST): Remove version.scm.in.
	* Makefile.in: Regenerate.

1999-09-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

	* debugger.scm: New file: Initial version of the Guile debugger
	written by Chris Hanson.  (The debugger isn't finished, but is
	included in Guile anyway since it is already quite useful.)

	* boot-9.scm (top-repl): Use (ice-9 debug) (ice-9 debugger) (ice-9
	session) (ice-9 threads) (ice-9 regex) from guile-user only if
	top-repl is called.  This makes startup time for scripts 30% of
	what it was before...  Removed redundant code for loading of
	readline.

	* Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added debugger.scm.

1999-08-29  Keisuke Nishida  <kxn30@po.cwru.edu>

	* boot-9.scm (try-module-autoload): Use %search-load-path.

1999-08-24  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm: Removed old style hooks.
	(inherit-print-state): Rwwritten to use port-with-print-state.

1999-08-20  James Blandy  <jimb@mule.m17n.org>

	Remove support for the #/ path list syntax entirely.
	* boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation,
	read-path-list-notation-warning): Deleted.
	Don't register read-path-list-notation-warning as a reader for
	objects starting with '#/'.

1999-08-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

	GOOPS needs the observer protocol specified for the new module
	system.  Here's a simple version for the old module system:
	* boot-9.scm (module-observers, module-weak-observers,
	module-observer-id, set-module-observers!,
	set-module-observer-id!): New accessors.
	(module-type): Added slots `observers',	`weak-observers' and
	`observer-id'.
	(module-observe, module-observe-weak, module-unobserve,
	module-modified): New procedures.
	(module-make-local-var!, module-add!, module-remove!,
	module-clear!, module-define!, module-use!): Call module-modified.

1999-07-29  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Correct non-RnRS usage of internal
	defines.

1999-07-19  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>

	* streams.scm: New module, contributed by Michael Livshin.
	* Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List it.
	* Makefile.in: Regenerated.

	* boot-9.scm (read-delimited!): Put the terminator in the correct
	position.

1999-06-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>

	* readline.scm: Bugfix: Avoid getting the continued-lines prompt
	at multiple calls to read.
	(promtp2): Variable for continued-lines prompt.
	(make-readline-port): Use prompt2.
	(set-readline-prompt!): New optional arg which sets
	continued-lines prompt.

	* boot-9.scm (top-repl): Set/clear readline prompts before/after
	reading expressions.

1999-06-18  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>

	* ls.scm (ls, lls): Handle no arguments as meaning to look in
	`(current-module)'. (Patch from Thien-Thi Nguyen.)

1999-06-14  Jim Blandy  <jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>

	* string-fun.scm (split-before-predicate, split-after-predicate,
	split-discarding-predicate): Make these public.  (Thanks to
	Thien-Thi Nguyen.)

	1999-06-13  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>

	* more changes to expect.scm, to avoid the one-character lookhead
	that was introduced to fix the $ problem:

	* expect.scm (expect): call the match proc an extra time at end
	of file and set the eof? argument appropriately.  call
	expect-eof-proc only if the last call didn't match.
	* expect.scm (expect-strings): change port to eof? in match proc.
	* expect.scm (expect-regexec): take an eof indicator as an argument
	instead of a port.

1999-06-09  Jim Blandy	<jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>

	* Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add popen.scm to list.
	* Makefile.in: Regenerated.

	Fixes for expect from Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>:

	* expect.scm (expect-regexec): define 'eof-next?'.  I don't
	know why it was missing.  also don't peek for end of lines
	unless expect-strings-exec-flags contains regexp/noteol.
	(expect-strings-exec-flags): initialise to regexp/noteol.

	Gary Houston's open-buffer port patches:

	1999-04-01  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>

	* popen.scm: applied fixes from Greg Harvey.  use a guardian
	and a gc-thunk so that cleanup is done if a pipe is garbage
	collected or closed with close-port.  use a weak hash-table instead of
	an alist.

	1999-03-20  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>

	* expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with the port instead.
	(expect-strings): use peek-char to get the next char.  this has
	the advantage of getting the handling of $ "correct", but the
	disadvantage of needing to get (and maybe block for) an extra character
	from the port when it may not be needed.  hence:
	(expect-strings-exec-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
	flags for regexp-exec.	if this includes regexp/noteol, then
	automatic regexp/noteol handling (requiring an extra peeked char)
	is enabled.  default is regexp/noteol.
	(expect-strings-compile-flags): new variable/parameter, supplies
	flags for make-regexp.	default is regexp/newline.

	1999-03-15  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>

	* expect.scm (expect): call the match proc with an extra char,
	peeked from the stream.
	(expect-strings): build a match proc which takes the extra char.
	(expect-regexec): take an extra arg "eof-next?" and use it
	to decide whether the regexp/noteol flag should be added.

	1999-02-26  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>

	* boot-9.scm (top-repl): don't flush all ports at exit.
	(error-catching-loop): likewise.

	1998-12-23  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>

	* boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): -read: don't call
	consume-trailing-whitespace if val is eof object.  Allows
	exiting repl with single control-D.

	1998-12-06  Gary Houston  <ghouston@easynet.co.uk>

	* boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't force output within
	error catching loop after quit received.
	(top-repl): flush all ports when the repl terminates.

	* boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): flush all ports before
	primitive exit if non-interactive.
	force-output on current-error-port if interactive.

	* boot-9.scm (reopen-file): deleted.
	* popen.scm (open-output-pipe, open-input-pipe): moved from
	boot-9.scm.
	* popen.scm: new file.

1999-06-04  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

       * boot-9.scm (iota):  replaced by a tail recursive version.
       (reverse-iota):	removed.

1999-06-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj-pc.nada.kth.se>

	* optargs.scm (lambda*): Bugfix: Replaced ARGLIST -->
	non-optional-args.  (Thanks to David Lutterkort.)

1999-05-09  Jim Blandy	<jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>

	* string-case.scm: Removed; functions moved to libguile/strop.c
	(which could be dynamically linked in the future anyway).
	* Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Don't list string-case.scm.
	* Makefile.in: Regenerated.
	* format.scm: Don't bother importing (ice-9 string-case).

1999-05-02  Jim Blandy	<jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>

	* boot-9.scm (provided?): New function.

	* Makefile.am: Add string-case.scm and format.scm to ice9_sources.
	* Makefile.in: Regenerated.

	* string-case.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, and adapted to
	Guile's module system.

	* format.scm: New file, brought in from SLIB, with the following
	changes:
	(format:format): If the first argument is the format string, stick
	a #f on the front of it, so it is now a valid CL format argument
	list.  This is easier than changing everyplace else (like the
	error formatter) that expects it to be in CL form.  The other
	clause which explicitly tests for this case is now dead code.
	(format:format-work): Allow `@' and `:' in either order, as per
	modern CL behavior.
	(format:num->cardinal): Don't assume that an elseless if returns
	'() when the condition is false.

1999-04-17  Jim Blandy	<jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>

	* Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1999-04-08  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm: Provide 'values.

1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm (process-define-module, use-syntax): Bugfix:
	:use-syntax should add syntax to using module, not current module.
	(internal-use-syntax): Removed.

1999-03-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* session.scm (apropos-internal): Modified to comply with new
	argument order for hash-fold.

1999-03-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm (try-load-module): New procedure.	Broken out from
	resolve-module.
	(resolve-module): Bugfix: Make it possible for a module at a
	deeper level (x y z) to depend on a module on a higher (x y).

	This also has the desired side-effect that multiple attempts to
	load a module (e.g. with `use-modules') work until source is
	actually found for the module (e.g. because the correct catalog
	has been added to the load path).

	Use try-load-module.

1999-03-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* session.scm (system-module): New procedure.  Used to switch a
	module between system and user state.

1999-03-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* session.scm (apropos-internal): Rewritten using hash-fold.

	* emacs.scm, session.scm, slib.scm): Added :no-backtrace in module
	definition.

1999-03-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm (make-record-type): Use `set-struct-vtable-name!' to
	associate a name to the record type descriptor so that the object
	system can create a wrapper class for it.

1999-03-12  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	Improvement of backtraces: Introduces a new stack narrowing
	specifier, #t, for the inner cut.  If the inner cut is specified
	by #t, `make-stack' will throw away inner stack frames (most
	recent calls on call chain) up to but excluding the first user
	stack frame encountered.

	This specifier is now used in `save-stack' so that the call
	`(save-stack)' will get the new behaviour. [It is recommended that
	any error reporting functions written by the user have this call
	on the outermost expression level (i.e. as a member of the lambda
	list).]

	Modules are partitioned into "user" and "system" modules. [I know
	that some names used here are silly, but I don't have more time to
	spend on a better solution, especially considering that the module
	system will be replaced.  But if people have better ideas, then
	please tell me!]

	System modules are created by adding :no-backtrace among the
	define-module switches:

	(define-module (foo)
	  :no-backtrace)

	Modules which doesn't have the :no-backtrace specifier are user
	modules.

	A stack frame is classified as a user frame if it has source code
	associated with it and if this source code can be proven to come
	from a user module.  If it can be proven to come from a system
	module it is a system frame.

	Frames which can't be classified, e.g. application frames, are cut
	away if they occur between system frames, but are left on the
	stack if they occur between the last system frame and the first
	user frame encountered.	 (Note that the first user frame
	encountered is the last user code being evaluated!)

	In some cases the system part of the call chain is introduced by
	frames which should but can't be proven to be system frames.  The
	following workaround has been implemented: The cutting proceeds
	over application frames where the operator is marked by the
	`system-procedure' property.  (This has been used to cut away
	generic function dispatch code in the object system.)

	* boot-9.scm (set-system-module!): New procedure: Set system/user
	status of a module.;
	Mark `the-root-module' and `the-scm-module' as system modules.
	(process-define-module): Add new keyword :no-backtrace.

	* boot-9.scm (environment-module): Bugfixed.
	(set-module-eval-closure!): Add a pointer back from the eval
	closure to the module.

	* emacs.scm (emacs-load): Reset port filename after transfer.

1999-03-03  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* slib.scm (make-random-state): Added for compatibility.

1999-02-16  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>

	* optargs.scm (lambda*): Handle empty argument lists properly.

1999-02-15  Jim Blandy	<jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>

	Fix from Russ McManus:
	* getopt-long.scm (parse-option-spec): Store 'optional as the
	value-required? field for options that take optional values.
	(process-short-option): Grab a value for the option when it takes
	either an optional or required value.

1999-02-12  Jim Blandy	<jimb@savonarola.red-bean.com>

	* getopt-long.scm: Remove debugging calls to `pk'.

	* getopt-long.scm: Return list of ordinary arguments as the value
	of the '() key, not `rest'.

	A new argument-processing package from Russ McManus.
	* getopt-long.scm: New file.
	* Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Added getopt-long.scm.
	* Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1999-02-09  Maciej Stachowiak  <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>

	* optargs.scm: New file.
	* Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add optargs.scm here. Makefile.in
	not regenerated because I don't have the right version of Automake.

1999-02-06  Jim Blandy	<jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>

	* and-let*.scm: New file, from Michael Livshin.
	* Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add and-let* here.
	* Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1999-01-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* slib.scm (install-require-module): Fixed the kludge which loads
	the slib catalog: Doesn't anylonger assume that the feature tested
	for isn't loaded.

1998-12-14  Jim Blandy	<jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>

	* Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1998-12-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Reverted the change of
	1998-11-23 which caused loading of object code if :use-module was
	applied to the module itself.

1998-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>

	* Makefile.am: Removed setf.scm.

	* setf.scm: Removed.  1. It was buggy.	2. It was unschemey.
	(These shortcomings were my fault.)

1998-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm (environment-module): New procedure.

1998-12-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>

	* Makefile.am: Added setf.scm.

1998-12-05  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>

	* setf.scm: New file.  Adds the new forms `setf!' and `setter'
	which implements generalized references a la Common LISP.

1998-12-02  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added new specifier
	:autoload MODULENAME BINDINGS to the define-module form.
	The autoload specifier tells the module system to load the module
	MODULENAME at the first occasion that any variable with its name
	among BINDINGS is referenced.
	(make-autoload-interface): New procedure:  Constructs a stand-in
	for the public interface for the module to be autoloaded.

1998-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm (*suppress-old-style-hook-warning*): Set this to #t
	if you don't want the old style hook warnings.

1998-12-01  Christian Lynbech  <chl@tbit.dk>

	* boot-9.scm (try-using-libtool-name): Fix check on dlname to make
	sure that it isn't empty, as it is when we are only buidling
	static libraries.

1998-11-27  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* session.scm (arity): New procedure.

1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm: Use run-hook instead of run-hooks everywhere.

1998-11-26  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm (run-hooks, add-hook!, remove-hook!): Added temporary
	code for backward compatibility until people have had time to
	adapt to the new hooks.

1998-11-23  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Beautify also if public
	interface is set to the module itself.	In this way we can use
	beautify-user-module! to beautify a module prepared for object
	code.
	(process-define-module): Special case: Try to load object code as
	well if a module does :use-module on itself.

	* boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Since boot-9.scm is now loaded from
	invoke_main_func, we can no longer be sure that all modules have
	been registered when boot-9.scm is loaded.
	(register-modules): New function: Register and tag modules
	registered by scm_register_module_xxx since last call to this
	function.  Modules are tagged with the dynamic object passed as
	argument.  (Already linked modules should be tagged with #f.)
	(init-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module): Call register-modules
	first to register linked modules.

	* boot-9.scm (init-dynamic-module): Remove module from
	registered-modules as soon as possible in case we are recursively
	invoked; Set public interface before doing the dynamic-call.

	* boot-9.scm (map-in-order): Removed (replaced by scm_serial_map).
	(abort-hook, before-error-hook, after-error-hook,
	before-backtrace-hook, after-backtrace-hook, before-read-hook,
	after-read-hook, exit-hook): Make hooks with `make-hook'.

	* boot-9.scm: Make hooks first class citizens and make them easier
	to use from C:
	(make-hook, add-hook!, remove-hook!, run-hooks): Moved to
	libguile/feature.c.

	* boot-9.scm: Added warnings about bindings used in
	libguile/modules.c: the-module, set-current-module,
	make-modules-in, beautify-user-module!, module-eval-closure.

1998-11-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

	* boot-9.scm (the-environment): New special form: Returns an
	object representing the current local evaluation environment.
	This object can be used in `local-eval' and `defined?'.

1998-11-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm (collect): New syntax.  Similar to begin but returns
	a list of the results of all forms in the sequence instead of the
	result of the last form.

1998-11-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved here from
	syncase.scm.

	* syncase.scm (values, call-with-values): Moved to boot-9.scm.

	* boot-9.scm (readline-options, readline-enable, readline.disable,
	readline-set!: New options interface.

	* readline.scm (readline-port): Use readline-options-interface.

1998-11-05  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm: Set the repl start module in `top-repl' instead of
	at the end of boot-9.scm.

1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* emacs.scm (format): Bugfix: Handle multiple arguments
	correctly.  (Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)

1998-11-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm (exit-hook): New hook: Is run at the very end of an
	interactive session.
	(top-repl): Run exit-hook on exit.

	* readline.scm (readline-port): Maybe read history; Maybe write
	history at exit (add to exit-hook).

Fri Oct 30 15:15:37 1998  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* readline.scm (make-readline-port): Bugfixed last change...

1998-10-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>

	* readline.scm (make-readline-port): Don't set prompt to "... " if
	read line was empty.

1998-10-19  Jim Blandy	<jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>

	* boot-9.scm, debug.scm, expect.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm,
	r4rs.scm, slib.scm, threads.scm: Update copyright years.

	* getopt-gnu-style.scm, slib.scm: Add copyright notice.

	Talked to Stallman.  Actually, the syntax-case copyright is no
	problem.  Duh.
	* Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Revert last change.
	* syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Added again.
	* Makefile.in: Regeneretade.

	* boot-9.scm: Don't assume that this file is loaded just before
	entering a read-eval-print loop.  Turn code to load (ice-9 emacs)
	into...
	(load-emacs-interface): New function.
	(top-repl): Call it, if use-emacs-interface is defined and true.
	At this point, we *do* know we're about to enter a REPL.

	We can't include Kent Dybvig's syntax-case macro expander in the
	core Guile distribution, because we don't have copyright
	assignments for this code.  We can certainly distribute them as a
	separate package, but Guile should be FSF code.
	* syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, psyntax.ss: Removed.
	* Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Removed syncase.scm, psyntax.pp, and
	psyntax.ss.
	* Makefile.in: Regenerated.

	* Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add getopt-gnu-style.scm.
	* Makefile.in: Regenerated.

1998-10-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm: Added extended read syntax for byte vectors #y(...)
	and short vectors #h(...).

1998-10-14  Jim Blandy	<jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>

	* calling.scm (excursion-function-syntax): Use a sequence of
	set!'s, not a single multi-variable set!; we removed support for
	that syntax a long time ago.  (Thanks to Shuji Narazaki.)

1998-10-12  Jim Blandy	<jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>

	* r4rs.scm (OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH): Don't bother
	testing software-type here.  That's the least of our Windows
	porting issues, and it's done wrong anyway.

1998-10-09  Jim Blandy	<jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>

	* boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation-warning): New function:
	print a warning the first time we see `#/' notation.

	* q.scm (sync-q!, q?, q-remove!, q-push!, enq!): Lots of bugs, and
	(eq?  #f '()) assumptions.  Make functions that aren't documented
	to return anything else return the queue itself.  (Bug report from
	Michael Livshin --- thanks!)

1998-08-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Removed re-enabling of
	trace flag.

	* boot-9.scm (make-options): Bugfix: Changed pair? --> list? in
	order to allow the empty list as arg.
	(error-catching-loop): Use `with-traps' to create a dynamic
	context with traps enabled.

1998-08-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm: Removed (ice-9 regex) from use-list of (guile)
	module.
	(try-using-libtool-name): Removed dependency on (ice-9 regex).

1998-08-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm: Make the root module use (ice-9 regex) if
	available.  The dynamic linking facilities in boot-9.scm are
	currently dependent upon regular expressions.  My change of
	1998-07-14 removed (ice-9 regex) from the use-list of the root
	module and thereby destroyed dynamic linking.

1998-07-29  Jim Blandy	<jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>

	* Makefile.in: Regenerated using the last public version of
	automake, not the hacked Cygnus version.

1998-07-28  Jim Blandy	<jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>

	* Makefile.in: Regenerated, after removing Totoro kludge.

1998-07-28  Jim Blandy	<jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>

	* getopt-gnu-style.scm: New file.  (Thanks to Russ McManus.)

1998-07-26  Jim Blandy	<jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>

	* Makefile.in Rebuilt, for config changes in parent dir.

1998-07-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* readline.scm (make-readline-port): Set prompt string to "... "
	after first read line.	(Thanks to Richard Polton.)

1998-07-19  Jim Blandy	<jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>

	* lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Don't use
	ungetc-char-ready?, since we don't provide that function any
	more.  The unread-string function doesn't interact properly with
	any of the standard I/O functions anyway.  (Thanks to Andrew
	Archibald.)

	* hcons.scm (hashq-cons-assoc): Don't assume the empty list is
	false.	Return false when we cannot find a matching entry in the
	list.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald.)

1998-07-16  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm (export, export-syntax): New special forms: Export
	bindings from a module.	 `(export name1 name2 ...)' can be used at
	the top of a module (after `define-module') to specify which names
	should be exported.  It can be used as an alternative to
	`define-public'.  `export-syntax' works equivalently to `export'
	but is intended for export of syntactic keywords.
	(Thanks to Thien-Thi Nguyen.)

1998-07-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm: Renamed module `(guile-repl)' --> `(guile-user)'.

1998-07-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm: Let the user start in module `(guile-repl)' instead
	of module `(guile)'.  Also make sure that `(guile-repl)' uses
	suitable modules.  This change improves Guile stability
	substantially since bindings will only be copied from the root
	module: If the user redefines builtins in `(guile-repl)' it won't
	affect the internal operation of Guile itself.

1998-06-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm (load-module): When loading files from within files
	themselves being loaded: Use the directory path of the file being
	loaded as root for relative filenames.	(After suggestion by
	Steven G. Johnson.)

1998-06-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* emacs.scm (emacs-load): New feature: Eval in specified module.

1998-06-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* readline.scm: Typo in regex module name.

1998-06-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@barbara.nada.kth.se>

	* readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): regexp-quote text to
	be completed.

1998-06-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* debug.scm, emacs.scm: Bugfix: Treat `the-last-stack' as a fluid.

1998-06-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm: Check that (current-input-port) is a tty before
	enabling readline.  (Thanks to Michael N. Livshin.)

1998-06-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm (use-syntax): Turned into a macro inorder to be
	similar in use to `use-modules'.
	Example: (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) will 1. load the module
	(ice-9 syncase), and, 2. install the procedure `syncase' as eval
	transformer.
	(internal-use-syntax): New procedure.
	(process-define-module): Use `internal-use-syntax'.

1998-05-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* Makefile.am (ice9_sources): Add emacs.scm.

1998-05-13  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* readline.scm: Use the new readline facilities: Add the
	possibility to control input and output ports; Add apropos
	completion.

	* boot-9.scm: Antirevert Jim's readline code which he reverted
	19971027 and adapt it to the current readline interface.

	* boot-9.scm (top-repl): Only enable readline if not using the
	Emacs interface; Only use repl prompt when using the readline port
	from repl-read.	 (We don't want to see it when calling `read'.)

	* boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): Parenthesis bug.

1998-05-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

	* boot-9.scm: Load readline module if readline is present.

	* readline.scm (apropos-completion-function): New procedure:
	Symbolic completion.  (Thanks to Andrew Archibald!)

1998-04-22  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Added keyword use-syntax.

1998-04-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* nonblocking.scm: Removed.  libguile is now inherently
	nonblocking through the use of scm_internal_select.

	* emacs.scm: Removed use of nonblocking.scm.

	* gwish.scm, gtcl.scm: Removed.	 tcltk.scm has made these
	obsolete.

1998-04-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>

	* runq.scm (runq-control): Corrected spelling of enqueue!.
	(Thanks to Karl M. Hegbloom.)

1998-03-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm: Added new run-time option interface eval-options.

1998-03-28  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm (remove-hook!): New macro.	 (Thanks to Maciej
	Stachowiak.)

1998-01-30  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* threads.scm: Added simple error and signal handler.
	(make-thread, begin-handler): Use this handler.	 The most
	important effect of this is that signals get unmasked.
	Previously, when a signal was thrown signals remained masked
	(signals get masked when a signal is taken) which influenced other
	threads.

1998-01-01  Tim Pierce	<twp@skepsis.com>

	A better fix to the SLIB identity problem -- thanks to Marius Vollmer.
	* slib.scm (identity): Unmake public.
	(slib:eval): Evaluate inside `slib-module'.

1997-12-24  Tim Pierce	<twp@skepsis.com>

	* boot-9.scm: Doc fix.

	* slib.scm (identity): Made public.
	(home-vicinity): New function (from SLIB/Template.scm).

1997-12-13  Tim Pierce	<twp@skepsis.com>

	* boot-9.scm (read-line): Rewritten to call %read-line for
	improved speed.	 Minor user-visible changes: the new functions are
	hardwired to treat the LFD character as signifying end-of-line, so
	changing `scm-line-incrementors' will no longer affect the
	behavior of read-line.	On platforms which do not represent
	end-of-line with a LFD character, read-line should behave more
	like native line-processing facilities, but there is still a ways
	to go here.

Sat Nov 29 01:24:46 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

	* boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, save-stack): `the-last-stack'
	is now a fluid.

1997-11-28  Tim Pierce	<twp@skepsis.com>

	* boot-9.scm (find-and-link-dynamic-module): If a module directory
	contains a .la file (a libtool support file), attempt to extract
	the shared library name from that file.	 If the .la file does not
	exist, try to link against a .so file.	Libtool-generated compiled
	modules should load more cleanly in Guile now.
	(try-using-libtool-name, try-using-sharlib-name): New functions.

Sun Nov	 9 06:10:59 1997  Gary Houston	<ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

	* boot-9.scm (set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): initialize more

1997-10-31  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): Moved definition to the
	neighborhood of the record code.

Mon Oct 27 02:05:49 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>

	* boot-9.scm: Revert changes to this file from Oct 23.	It turns
	out to interact badly with the Emacs support and the Tcl/Tk
	support.  It's not a high enough priority at the moment to be
	worth fixing.  I'm leaving the other readline support in, though.

Sat Oct 25 14:23:22 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>

	* Makefile.am: Include readline.scm in the list of files to be
	installed, so Guile can find it for interactive use.
	* Makefile.in: Regenerated.

Thu Oct 23 01:00:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>

	Add support for readline function.
	* readline.scm: New module.
	* boot-9.scm (repl-reader): New function.
	(scm-style-repl): Call repl-reader, instead of doing the reading
	ourselves.  Remove repl-report-reset; it was never used for
	anything.
	(top-repl): If we've got the readline primitives, then redefine
	repl-reader to use them.
	If we've got the readline primitives, import the readline module.

	* ls.scm (ls, lls): Don't assume (eq? #f '()).

Wed Oct 22 18:26:57 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>

	* calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,

	expect-strings to fix the => syntax under the new regex system.
	(top): include regex module in define-module statement.

Wed Oct	 8 03:16:01 1997  Gary Houston	<ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

	* (error-catching-loop): new local variable "interactive".  if
	#f, abort terminates the process.
	(set-batch-mode?!, batch-mode?): new closures, defined in
	error-catching-loop.  the names are from scsh.

1997-10-06  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): If NEW-PORT contains a
	print-state, throw it away.

	* boot-9.scm (struct-printer, make-struct-printer,
	set-struct-printer-in-vtable!, *struct-printer*): Removed.
	(record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Don't use make-struct-printer.
	(record-type-vtable): User fields "prpr" (printer is no longer a
	user field).
	(record-type-name, record-type-fields): Decreased slot index by
	one; Use `vtable-offset-user'.

Thu Oct	 2 12:00:00  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* boot-9.scm (inherit-print-state): New experimental function.

Tue Sep 30 13:12:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.red-bean.com>

	Suggestion and script from Maciej Stachowiak:
	* boot-9.scm: Split off modules into separate, autoloadable files.
	This reduces startup time from 10.5s to 5.5s (user cpu).
	* calling.scm, common-list.scm, ls.scm, q.scm, runq.scm,
	string-fun.scm: New files, containing stuff that used to be in
	boot-9.scm.
	* Makefile.am (ice9_sources): List new files here, for

Mon Sep 29 03:21:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* slib.scm (slib:load): slib:load first tries to load the file
	named NAME, then NAME.scm.  On error, report the error occuring at
	the first attempt (NAME) rather than the second (NAME.scm).

	* boot-9.scm: Bugfix: Hard-solder the print-option procedure into
	the make-options macro so that we needn't refer to a global
	symbol.

Sun Sep 28 21:40:24 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* debug.scm: Moved options interface procedures to boot-9.scm.

	<mstachow@mit.edu>.  Thanks!
	(try-module-linked): Try to find module among those already
	registered.
	(try-module-dynamic-link): Removed the first test which
	corresponds to a call to `try-module-linked'.
	(resolve-module): Resolve modules in this order: 1. Already
	registered modules (for example those which have been statically
	linked), 2. Try to autoload an .scm-file, 3. Try to dynamically
	link a .so-file.

Mon Sep 15 23:39:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm (primitive-macro?): New procedure.

	* slib.scm: Added hack which transfers syntactic information from
	the builtin variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9
	syncase) has been loaded.  This is necessary to get correct
	expansion inside the slib module.

	* psyntax.ss (build-let, build-named-let): New output
	constructors.
	(build-lexical-var): Seed gensym with symbolic name.

	syncase) and with the current directory containing the psyntax.ss
	source.
	Added hack to transfer syntactic information from the builtin
	variable `define' to the slib version if module (ice-9 slib) has
	been loaded.

Fri Sep	 5 05:47:36 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@faun.nada.kth.se>

	* syncase.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): Removed hook setup.
	(syncase): Publish syntax transformer to be used with
	`use-syntax'.
	(sc-macro): Use this as the value when publishing macros.

	(make-module): Modified initialization.
	(module-transformer, set-module-transformer!): Selector and
	mutator for module-associated transformer.

Fri Sep	 5 03:09:09 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* emacs.scm (emacs-load): Added new parameter `module'.

	* syncase.scm (putprop, getprop): Modified to use the object
	properties of the variable object corresponding to the symbol;
	This way we can ride on the mechanisms of the module system.
	Changed `builtin-variable' calls to `define-public' calls.
	Setup the hooks sc-expand and sc-interface.

	* boot-9.scm (sc-interface, sc-expand): New builtin variables.

	the syncase interface.

Thu Sep	 4 14:57:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* syncase.scm (putprop): Temporary fix which publishes new syntax
	globally (the old behaviour was complex and connected to the inner
	workings of the current module system).

Wed Sep	 3 21:29:13 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* psyntax.ss: Updated.
	psyntax.pp: Bugfix: Previous version had some leading "t":s cut
	off!

Tue Sep	 2 00:26:42 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm (gensym): Removed (replaced by primitive).
	(obarray-gensym): Rewritten to use `gensym'.
	(gentemp): Rewritten to use `gensym'.

Mon Sep	 1 20:08:32 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* gtcl.scm (make-tcl-binder): Rewritten to choose bindings
	according to the following priorities:
	1. tcl bindings which are present in override-scheme-list
	2. bindings from the-scm-module
	3. tcl bindings
	This way the gtcl module can occur first in the use-list without
	disabling the scheme interpreter.
	(new-interpreter): New function.

	* gwish.scm: Moved initialization code for the-interpreter to
	gtcl.scm; Moved name space cleaning code to gtcl.scm and rewrote
	it; Call `new-interpreter'; Don't :use-module (guile).

Mon Aug 25 16:15:55 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* session.scm (apropos-internal): Musn't initialize symbol
	accumulator with a constant pair.  That led to mutation of the
	source!

Sun Aug 24 01:03:10 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

	* session.scm (vector-for-each): Removed.
	(apropos): vector-for-each --> array-for-each.
	(apropos-internal): New function.  Return list of accessible
	symbols matching regexp.

	* debug.scm (frame-number->index): New function.  Convert frame
	number (as displayed in the backtrace) to frame index (to be used
	in stack-ref).

	* emacs.scm (emacs-load): New arguments: interactivep: when
	non-false, send back results to Emacs; colnum: Column number;
	Use modules (ice-9 debug) and (ice-9 session);
	(no-stack, no-source): New simple-actions;
	(result-to-emacs): New procedure. Sends data to Emacs via the
	result protocol;
	(get-frame-source, emacs-select-frame, emacs-frame-eval,
	emacs-symdoc): New procedures.

	(whitespace-chars): Include #\np.

	* syncase.scm: Also turn off debugging evaluator and recording of
	procedure names during loading of psyntax.pp.

	* psyntax.pp: Removed leading blanks => 800K -> 100K.

Tue Aug 19 02:39:41 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* syncase.scm: Don't tamper with debug mode setting when enabling

	that we now should set the port line count to the specified value
	(linum) instead of (- linum 1).

	* slib.scm (slib:load): Use load-from-path instead of
	primitive-load-path so that backtraces get narrowed properly at
	the top.

	* boot-9.scm (top-repl): Save stack already in signal handler in
	order to narrow it correctly.
	(save-stack): Adjust narrowing tag for the top of load-stacks.

Tue Jul 29 01:18:08 1997  Gary Houston	<ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

	* boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
	(dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.

Sat Jul 26 08:00:42 1997  Gary Houston	<ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

	* boot-9.scm (setenv): new procedure, scsh compatible.

Sat Jul 26 21:30:10 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* boot-9.scm (with-fluids): New macro to go with the
	builtin `with-fluids*'.

Thu Jul 24 04:28:11 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* slib.scm (install-require-module): In newer versions of slib
	*catalog* is #f until the first access.	 Therefore we call
	require:provided? for a random feature if *catalog* is #f.

Wed Jul 23 20:13:04 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm: If using emacs interface, enable backtraces
	automatically.

	poe.scm, slib.scm, tags.scm, threads.scm: Use normal list
	notation, instead of #/ notation.

	* expect.scm (expect-strings): Pass regexp/newline flag to

	Fix inconsistencies in parsing of #/ style lists.
	* boot-9.scm (read-path-list-notation): New function.
	(parse-path-symbol): Deleted.  Replaced by above.
	Plug in read-path-list-notation as the parser for #/ lists,
	instead of the anonymous lambda form calling parse-path-symbol.
	(Thanks to Maurizio Vitale.)

	* boot-9.scm (make-list): Remove the definition of this function
	from the (ice-9 common-list) module; make the `init' argument
	optional in the	scm module's definition, to match the deleted
	definition.  Harmony reigneth?	(Thanks to Bernard URBAN.)

Sun Jun 22 18:33:17 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

	Try to detect when people are using one version of libguile and a
	different version of ice-9.  People have been skewing things and
	sending in bug reports.
	* version.scm.in: New file, which the configure script munges to
	produce version.scm, which contains the ice-9 config stamp.
	* boot-9.scm: Compare the libguile and ice-9 config stamps;
	display a warning if the two are different.
	* Makefile.am: Install version.scm, but don't distribute it.
	Distribute version.scm.in, but don't install it.
	* Makefile.in: Regenerated.

Thu Jun 19 21:01:16 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

Fri Jun 13 00:32:04 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.red-bean.com>

	* boot-9.scm (struct-printer): Fix off-by-one error in range
	check.	Correctly check for struct printer tag.

	expect-eof-proc, expect-char-proc, expect, expect-strings,
	expect-select): Make these public definitions.
	(expect-strings): Use make-regexp and regexp-exec, instead of
	regcomp and regexec.  We've omitted the REG_NEWLINE flag; hope
	that's okay.

	* boot-9.scm (with-regexp-parts): Comment this out.  It has no
	users in the core, and relies on mildly hairy details of the old
	regexp interface.

	* test.scm: Re-enable tests asserting that '() is true, and not a
	boolean.  This stuff has been true for a while.

	* boot-9.scm (ipow-by-squaring, butlast): Fix uses of outdated

	vtable and not the one of the struct.

Wed Jun	 4 23:27:16 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* boot-9.scm (struct-layout, %struct-printer-tag, struct-printer,
	make-struct-printer, set-struct-printer-in-vtable!): New bindings
	to support printing of structures.
	(record-type-vtable, make-record-type): Add slot to hold printing
	function and initialize it with something appropriate.	Removed
	commented out printing code.
	(record-type-name, record-type-fields): Adjusted slot offsets.

	* slib.scm (slib:load): Use primitive-load-path instead of
	basic-load.  This is probably wrong, but hopefully the entire
	source access system will be revised soon anyway, and this will
	make require behave more like Emacs Lisp's require.  If this
	breaks something, please let me know.  Maybe this is real dumb.

Thu May 29 02:36:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

	* regex.scm: Add a module declaration.	Use DEFINE-PUBLIC everywhere.
	* boot-9.scm: If the `regex' feature is present, use the module
	(ice-9 regex).

Tue May 27 22:48:14 1997  Tim Pierce  <twp@twp.tezcat.com>

	* regex.scm: New file.
	* Makefile.am (subpkgdata_DATA): Add regex.scm.
	* Makefile.in: Regenerated.

Mon May 26 17:24:48 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

	gwish.scm, hcons.scm, lineio.scm, mapping.scm, nonblocking.scm,
	oldprint.scm, poe.scm, r4rs.scm, source.scm, tags.scm, test.scm,
	threads.scm: New address for FSF.

Fri May 16 04:09:45 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

	* debug.scm: Update copyright years; this file has been worked on
	in 1997.

Thu May 15 07:56:08 1997  Gary Houston	<ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

	* expect.scm: use gettimeofday instead of get-internal-real-time
	and use a floating point timeout when calling select.  Untested,
	since the regex library is currently AWOL.

Wed May 14 21:00:30 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

	* boot-9.scm (eval-string): Function deleted; it was already
	implemented in C, so there's no point in making a divergable copy
	here.

Tue May 13 16:40:06 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

	* Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

	* Makefile.in: Regenerated, using automake-1.1p.

Tue May 13 02:48:49 1997  Gary Houston	<ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

	* boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): don't read a line from
	current input when quit is encountered, the previous change
	fixes this too.

Mon May 12 19:00:21 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

	* boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): After reading an expression,
	consume any trailing newline (perhaps preceded by whitespace), to
	avoid screwing up GDB.	More detail in comments.

Mon May	 5 13:18:38 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

	* Makefile.am (ETAGS_ARGS): New variable, since we're not treating
	the Scheme code like code yet.
	* Makefile.in: Resrac,husrched.

Wed Apr 30 15:25:15 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* boot-9.scm (link-dynamic-module): Do not catch errors from
	dynamic-link and dynamic-call.	When the shared library exists it
	is now assumed to be suitable for a dynamic C module.

Fri Apr 25 21:21:35 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* boot-9.scm (process-use-modules): New function to support the
	use-modules macro
	(use-modules): throw an error iff one of the requested modules
	can't be found.

Tue Apr 29 06:54:46 1997  Gary Houston	<ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

	* boot-9.scm: don't define timer-thunk or gc-thunk.

Sun Apr 27 17:56:09 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

	* aclocal.m4: Removed; unnecessary, given changes of Apr 24.

	* Makefile.am (subpkgdatadir): Use "ice-9" instead of "@module@";
	we're not using AM_INIT_GUILE_MODULE any more.
	* Makefile.in: Regeneratitetedrerd.

Thu Apr 24 01:33:33 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

	Get 'make dist' to work again.
	* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove PLUGIN files.
	* Makefile.in: Regenerated, like two tons of fleas.

	Changes for reduced Guile distribution: one configure script,
	no plugins.
	* configure.in, configure: Removed.
	* Makefile.in: Regenerated.

Sat Apr 19 08:03:50 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

	* boot-9.scm (eval-string, command-line, load-user-init): New
	functions.

Sat Apr 12 08:27:05 1997  Gary Houston	<ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

	* boot-9.scm (log10): defined.

Tue Apr	 1 17:46:49 1997  Gary Houston	<ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

	* expect.scm (expect-select): correct the millisecond timeout
	arithmetic (from Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com).

	* boot-9.scm (open-input-pipe, open-output-pipe): defined here
	instead of in libguile.
	(tm:sec etc.) new accessors for broken-down time.
	(set-tm:sec etc.) new setters for broken-down time.

	* boot-9.scm (sockaddr:fam, sockaddr:path, sockaddr:addr,
	sockaddr:port): new functions.

Wed Mar 19 04:50:34 1997  Gary Houston	<ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

	* boot-9.scm: define accessor procedures for the objects returned
	by getpw, getgr, gethost, getnet, getproto, getserv (e.g.,
	passwd:name, where the first component is the name of the C structure
	and the second is the unprefixed C member name.)

Tue Mar 18 18:39:31 1997  Gary Houston	<ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

	* boot-9.scm (setpwent, setgrent, sethostent, setnetent, setprotoent,
	setservent): no longer take an argument, it was bogus.

Thu Mar 13 00:13:41 1997  Gary Houston	<ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

	* boot-9.scm (scm-error): deleted, reimplemented in C.

Mon Mar 10 15:48:31 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Modified to handle both
	keywords and symbols.

	* slib.scm: update read usage.

	* r4rs.scm: update primitive-load usage.
	Don't define read-sharp.

	* boot-9.scm: use read-hash-extend to install extra read syntax.
	(read-sharp): removed.
	Adjust usage of primitive-load-path, read, which no longer take
	case_i or read-sharp arguments.

Sat Mar	 8 00:07:54 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm: Added loading of session support module.

	* debug.scm: Removed `display-application'.  (Replaced by
	primitive procedure.)

	* boot-9.scm (beautify-user-module!): Don't add the root module
	interface to the end of the use-list of the root module.

Thu Mar	 6 07:26:34 1997  Gary Houston	<ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

	* boot-9.scm: repl-quit, repl-abort: obsolete variables deleted.

Wed Mar	 5 20:30:24 1997  Gary Houston	<ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

	* boot-9.scm: check use-emacs-interface for emacs support.

Sun Mar	 2 19:47:14 1997  Gary Houston	<ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

	* boot-9.scm (scm-style-repl): call repl-report-start-timing if
	read gets EOF.
	* (exit): alias for quit.

Sun Mar	 2 05:25:11 1997  Gary Houston	<ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

	* boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop thunk): use a status variable to
	return the quit args.
	(scm-style-repl): call -quit, passing return value from
	error-catching-repl.  Make -quit return its args.
	stand-alone-repl: comment out, since it seems unused.

	(error-catching-loop thunk): discard trailing junk after a (quit).

Sat Mar	 1 15:24:39 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm: Removed the old printer code.

	* r4rs.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Added comment
	explaining why apply and call/cc need to be closures.

	* boot-9.scm (apply, call-with-current-continuation): Bugfix:
	Removed. These definitions are already present in r4rs.scm.

	* debug.scm (trace-entry, trace-exit): Check that we're on a repl
	stack before printing traced frames; Re-enable trace flag at end
	of handlers.

Sat Mar	 1 00:10:38 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* debug.scm: Add hook for reset of trace level at abort.

	* boot-9.scm (run-hooks): New procedure.
	(add-hooks!): New macro.
	Change hooks to use these functions.

	* debug.scm: *Warning* This feature is a bit premature.	 I add
	it anyway because 1. it is very useful, and, 2. you can start
	making it less premature by complaining to me and by modifying
	the source! :-)
	(trace): Given one or more procedure objects, trace each one.
	Given no arguments, show all traced procedures.
	(untrace): Given one or more procedure objects, untrace each one.
	Given no arguments, untrace all traced procedures.  The tracing in
	Guile have an advantage to most other systems: We don't create new
	procedure objects, but mark the procedure objects themselves.
	This means that also anonymous and internal procedures can be
	traced.

	* boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of apply-frame
	and exit-frame exceptions.

	* boot-9.scm (assert-repl-prompt, the-prompt-string): Removed.
	(set-repl-prompt!): Setter for repl prompt.
	(scm-style-repl): If prompt is #f, don't prompt; if prompt is a
	string, display it; if prompt is a thunk, call it and display its
	result; otherwise display "> ".
	(Change suggested by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>.)

	* r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Reverted change to
	`module-defined?', since the module system isn't bootstrapped when
	we load r4rs.scm.  This is just a temporary fix to make the
	repository version runnable.

Thu Feb 27 23:25:47 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm: Removed the enabling of debug evaluator and
	recording of source code positions.  This was placed there for our
	convenience, but it has already sneaked into the distribution
	once... so we'd better add this in our local copies instead when
	we need it.  (These options are normally enabled at the end of
	boot-9.scm when loading the debug module.)

Thu Feb 27 16:04:45 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* boot-9.scm (module-defined?): New function.
	(macroexpand-1, macroexpand): Use local-ref instead of defined?
	and eval.
	* r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Use "module-defined?" instead of
	"defined?".
	* slib.scm (defined?): New function to take the place of the
	builtin "defined?".  It allways examines the slib module.

Mon Feb 24 21:46:15 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* configure.in: Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE

Sat Feb 15 04:51:20 1997  Gary Houston	<ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

	* boot-9.scm (read-sharp): define directly, don't go through a
	%read-sharp layer.

Tue Feb 11 08:45:48 1997  Gary Houston	<ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

	* boot-9.scm (uniform-vector-set!): use uniform-array-set1!, not
	uniform-vector-set1! which doesn't exist.

Mon Feb 10 03:01:48 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

	* boot-9.scm (backtrace): Removed.  (A C version now exists in
	backtrace.c.)

Fri Jan 24 06:05:36 1997  Gary Houston	<ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

	* boot-9.scm (read-line!, read-delimited!, read-delimited,
	read-line): new	procedures, see libguile/ChangeLog.

Thu Jan 16 17:07:03 1997  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	Added dynamic linking of modules. See libguile/DYNAMIC-LINKING.

	* boot-9.scm (split-c-module-name, convert-c-registered-modules,
	init-dynamic-module, dynamic-maybe-call,
	find-and-link-dynamic-module, link-dynamic-module,
	try-module-dynamic-link, registered-modules): New definitions for
	dynamic linking of modules.
	(resolve-module): Try to dynamically link the requested module
	after failing to load it as Scheme code.

Wed Jan	 8 05:50:14 1997  Gary Houston	<ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

	* boot-9.scm (getservbyport, getservbyname): remove stray %.

Tue Jan	 7 20:02:24 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

	* boot-9.scm (and=>): Rename THUNK argument to PROCEDURE, 'cos
	that's what it is.

	* lineio.scm (make-line-buffering-input-port): Properly test for
	the case of an empty buffer list.  The old code assumed that '()
	was false.

Mon Jan	 6 01:13:53 1997  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

	* boot-9.scm (use-modules): New macro (from Marius Vollmer).
	(use-modules <module name> ...) Put the the modules named by
	<module name> ... on the use list of the current module.

Sun Jan	 5 15:52:59 1997  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

	* boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Remove message saying that
	typing "$" will put you in the debugger.  This isn't implemented
	yet.

Sun Dec 22 23:27:25 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

	* boot-9.scm (delq-all!): Function deleted; delq!'s semantics have
	been fixed, so this function is superfluous.
	(transform-usage-lambda): Use delq!, not delq-all!.

Tue Dec 17 20:36:45 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* boot-9.scm (resolve-module): New optional parameter that
	controls whether autoloading is attempted or not. Default is #t.
	(process-define-module): Don't autoload the defined module.
	(try-module-autoload): Don't autoload the directory modules.

	* boot-9.scm (process-define-module): Ensure that the-scm-module
	is last in the `uses' list to allow shadowing builtin
	bindings. All :use-module options are added in the order they
	appear in the arguments but before anything already on the list
	(such as the-scm-module).

Wed Dec 11 21:06:05 1996  Gary Houston	<ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

	* slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): throw error if #f returned from
	%search-load-path.

Sat Nov 30 23:57:28 1996  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>

	* PLUGIN/greet, PLUGIN/split.sed, PLUGIN/this.configure: Removed.
	* Makefile.am, aclocal.m4: New files.
	* configure.in: Updated for Automake.

Wed Nov 27 14:16:14 1996  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* boot-9.scm (macroexpand-1, macroexpand), slib.scm
	(slib:features), r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): "defined?" is now a
	function, use it accordingly.

Thu Nov 21 11:12:10 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

	It's an "eval closure", not an "eval thunk."  A thunk is a
	function of no arguments.
	* boot-9.scm (module-type): Rename module field.
	(make-module, eval-in-module, make-root-module,
	set-current-module): Uses changed.
	(module-eval-closure, set-module-eval-closure!,
	root-module-closure): Renamed from module-eval-thunk,
	set-module-eval-thunk!, root-module-thunk.
	(set-current-module): Change uses of *top-level-lookup-thunk* to
	*top-level-eval-closure*.

Wed Nov 20 14:45:27 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

	* slib.scm (slib-parent-dir): Use string-length, not length.
	(Thanks to Bernard Urban.)

Sat Nov	 2 20:00:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm: The debugging evaluator and recording of positions
	aren't enabled by default any longer (they are switched on in
	debug.scm).  But during development we want to have them also
	*inside* boot-9.scm.  Therefore, two lines are added at the
	beginning of boot-9.scm to enable these.

	Call `provide' so that `records' are included among the
	`*features*'.

	The scheme for saving the stack has been adjusted: save-stack is
	now commonly available for saving the stack.  Calling `save-stack'
	sets a flag `stack-saved?' which prevents overwriting the stack.
	`stack-saved?' is reset at `abort'.

	Spelling correction: seperate --> separate.

	Removed `:'s that had creeped into some comments.

	The repl now doesn't print #<unspecified> results any longer
	If the user wants to see this, he can do
	(assert-repl-print-unspecified #t) in his startup file.

	The user now gets a friendly message instead of a backtrace at
	error.

	Added `before-read-hook'.

	Load module (ice-9 emacs) if option `-e' was specified.

	(provide): New function.

	(error): Save stack at entry, so that Guile entrails won't show up
	in backtraces.

	(backtrace): New function.

	(save-stack): Can now take arbitrary number of stack narrowing
	specifier pairs.  The first specifier in a pair controls inner
	border, the second the outer border.  A number means cut that
	number of frames, a procedure object means cut until that object
	is found in operator position in a frame.

	* debug.scm: Enable debugging evaluator and recording of positions
	by default.

	* slib.scm (slib:load): Adapt to the new behavior of
	primitive-load: It doesn't any longer try both with and without
	".scm" extension.  (We don't want to use %search-load-path here.)

	(implementation-vicinity): New function.  slib requires it

	(library-vicinity): Updated.

	Load "require.scm" in the library-vicinity.

	(install-require-vicinity, install-require-module): New functions.

Mon Oct 28 17:56:29 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

	* boot-9.scm (load-from-path): New function.

	* boot-9.scm (try-load, basic-try-load, try-load-module,
	try-load): Deleted.  I don't think they're being used.

	* Makefile.in (scm_files): Add r4rs.scm and test.scm to this list,
	so they'll get distributed.

	Get Guile to be a little less chatty by default.  The new user
	should see as little clutter as possible.
	* r4rs.scm (%load-verbosely): Make this #f by default.
	* boot-9.scm (scm-repl-verbose): Make this #f by default.
	(scm-style-repl): Don't run 'pk' on the value passed to quit.

	* r4rs.scm: New file.
	* boot-9.scm: Load r4rs.scm, first thing.
	(OPEN_READ, OPEN_WRITE, OPEN_BOTH, *null-device*, open-input-file,
	open-output-file, open-io-file, close-input-port,
	close-output-port, close-io-port, call-with-input-file,
	call-with-output-file, with-input-from-port, with-output-to-port,
	with-error-to-port, with-input-from-file, with-output-to-file,
	with-error-to-file, with-input-from-string, with-output-to-string,
	with-error-to-string, the-eof-object): Definitions moved to
	r4rs.scm.  Not all of them are R4RS, but those that are use those
	that are not.
	(load, %load-verbosely, %load-announce): Moved, along with code to
	set %load-hook, to r4rs.scm.

	* test.scm: New file.

	* boot-9.scm (integer?): Definition deleted, in favor of the one
	present in libguile (which used to be called int?).  I have no
	idea why integer? didn't just call int? to begin with.

	* boot-9.scm (<, <=, =, >, >=): Definitions in terms of <?, <=?,
	=?, >?, and >=? deleted; they're defined that way by libguile now.

	* boot-9.scm (load): Simplified; primitive-load does most of this
	work now.
	(%load-announce-win): Removed; no longer used.	Set %load-hook to
	call %load-announce.

Sun Oct 27 07:47:03 1996  Gary Houston	<ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

	* boot-9.scm (stat:dev, stat:ino, stat:mode, stat:nlink, stat:uid,
	stat:gid, stat:rdev, stat:size, stat:atime, stat:mtime,
	stat:ctime, stat:blksize, stat:blocks) accessor functions for stat
	components.
	(file-is-directory?): use stat:type.

Fri Oct 25 03:34:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

	* boot-9.scm (%read-sharp): Don't recognize the `#!' syntax here;
	that's now taken care of in libguile, and in a way compatible with
	SCSH (which this isn't).

Mon Oct 21 18:52:36 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

	* boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.

Fri Oct 18 01:03:08 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm (handle-system-error): Added hooks before-error-hook,
	after-error-hook, before-backtrace-hook and after-backtrace-hook
	to the error handler.  E.g.: fancy emacs support could plug into
	these.
	(save-stack): New function.  The stack is now made differently
	depending on the stack id.  (The motivation is to make a better
	choice regarding what stack frames to present to the user.)
	(error-catching-loop): Stack handling code moved outside into
	save-stack.

Thu Oct 17 20:33:08 1996  Gary Houston	<ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

	* Makefile.in (scm_files): add expect.scm.

	* expect.scm: new file ported from guile-iii.

	* boot-9.scm: remove handle-system-error, after moving the code into
	error-catching-loop.
	Don't set 'throw-handler-default property on error keys.
	Just interpret (almost) any throw with 4 args as an error throw.
	Delete some try-load stuff that was already commented out.

	Second thoughts, keep handle-system-error but call it from
	error-catching-loop.

Tue Oct 15 17:07:20 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

	* boot-9.scm: Doc fixes.
	(make-module): Rework for readability.
	(make-root-module, make-scm-module): USES argument to make-module
	should be '(), not #f.

	* boot-9.scm (try-load): %sys-load-path has been renamed to
	primitive-load-path; adjust call here.

Tue Oct 15 14:25:01 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Bugfix: Moved the recording of
	the stack to the correct place: when it is decided to generate an
	error-signal.

Mon Oct 14 22:20:30 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop, signal-handler,
	handle-system-error): Backtracing now works for signals aswell;
	Backtracing mechanism can now identify the stack root created by
	start-stack so that the user isn't exposed to system stack frames.

Mon Oct 14 06:05:42 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>

	* Makefile.in: Added threads.scm.

Mon Oct 14 04:21:51 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>

	* debug.scm (make-enable, make-disable): Simplified.

	* boot-9.scm: Renamed %%throw-handler-default -->
	throw-handler-default.
	((handle-system-error key . arg-list)): Changed the way errors are
	reported.
	((scm-style-repl)): Wrap up the call to eval in a start-stack
	acro.
	((error-catching-loop thunk)): Introduce a lazy-catch into
	error-catching-loop so that the stack can be captured.

Thu Oct 10 22:27:32 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

	* mapping.scm (hash-table-mapping): Explicitly request that
	make-vector fill new vectors with '(); this will make it easier to
	port Guile Scheme code to other Schemes.
	* boot-9.scm (make-print-style, make-print-table): Same.

Sun Oct	 6 03:54:59 1996  Gary Houston	<ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

	* boot-9.scm (load): rewritten again.
	Append "." to the default %load-path.
	(feature?): new function: checks for a symbol in the features list.
	(module-local-variable): remove apparently useless (caddr (list m v
	...))
	(%load-announce): minor formatting change.
	(file-exists?): use access? if posix is featured.
	(file-is-directory?): use stat if i/o-extensions is featured.
	(try-module-autoload module-name): use file-exists? before
	file-is-directory?

Sat Oct	 5 18:54:03 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

	* boot-9.scm: Added conditional loading of threads.scm.

	* threads.scm: New file.  Modified from the Cygnus-r0.3
	distribution.

	* boot-9.scm (error-catching-loop): Added handling of key
	`switch-repl'.

	* boot-9.scm: Name change %%bad-throw --> bad-throw.

Wed Oct	 2 23:38:44 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

	* boot-9.scm (make-record-type, record-constructor): Don't assume
	the empty list is false when parsing the argument list.

Mon Sep 30 22:15:50 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

	* boot-9.scm (signal-handler): Clean up logic.

	* boot-9.scm (load): Assume %load-path is always bound.

Sat Sep 28 00:15:37 1996  Gary Houston	<ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

	* boot-9.scm (error): replace another throw with scm-error.  Throw
	to 'misc-error instead of 'error (no need to distinguish these.)
	Don't set up 'error as a key.
	Set up regex-error as a key, if regex is available.
	(signal-handler): use scm-error, not throw.

	(%try-load, try-load-with-path, %load, load-with-path,
	basic-try-load-with-path, basic-load-with-path,
	try-load-module-with-path,load-module-with-path): deleted, since
	they seem redundant.
	(try-load): define using %try-load, not try-load-with-path.
	(load): rewritten.  load tries to open the file directly and
	with a .scm extension before searching the library directories
	(should "." be added to %load-path?  then load could still open
	directly files starting with "/").
	(try-module-autoload): use load, not load-with-path.
	(%load-indent): deleted, -2 was causing errors.

	(%read-sharp): use port-line, not line-number.

Fri Sep 27 16:23:51 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

	* boot-9.scm (%%bad-throw): Delete definition. 1) It's very
	straightforward to provide the equivalent functionality using
	(catch #t ...), so there's no need for the extra complexity.  2)
	Outside the context of a read-eval-print loop (which Guile should
	not require) it's not clear we should do anything more complicated
	than print an error and exit; the user or REPL can establish
	something better if it wants.  3) In that case, it's much more
	robust to just do it in the C code.

Tue Sep 24 06:53:04 1996  Gary Houston	<ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

	* boot-9.scm (%try-load): define using primitive-load.	Previously
	%try-load itself was the primitive.
	(load-with-path): use scm-error instead of %load-announce-lossage.
	Errors are thrown to 'misc-error instead of 'could-not-load.
	(%load-announce-lossage): deleted.

Mon Sep 23 00:16:31 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kenneth>

	* boot-9.scm (warn, scm-style-repl): Use C printer instead of `print'.
	(make-record-type type-name fields): Temporarily remove support
	for printing of records (not possible yet with C printer).

Fri Sep 20 00:24:27 1996  Gary Houston	<ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

	* boot-9.scm (file-exists?, file-is-directory): catch only
	system-error, not every kind of error.
	(scm-error): new procedure.

Thu Sep 19 16:02:46 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@totoro.cyclic.com>

	* boot-9.scm: Formatting tweaks.

Wed Sep 18 09:07:37 1996  Gary Houston	<ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

	* boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): remove the code for
	SCM-style errors.  handle the case that an unexpected number
	of args are supplied.
	(%%system-errors): removed.
	(error): redefine using a throw with key and 4 args.
	('error): associate 'error, 'error-signal keys with
	%%handle-system-error.
	(%%default-error-handler): removed.
	(signal-handler): throw with 4 args and use the error-signal key.
	Create an error message instead of using numerical codes.
	(%%bad-throw): call error instead of throw if key not found.

Tue Sep 17 04:11:28 1996  Gary Houston	<ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

	* boot-9.scm: initialize new error keys (see libguile/ChangeLog).
	(%%handle-system-error key): check subr is not #f before printing.
	Recognize %s (embed an argument using "display") and
	%S (embed an argument using "write").

Sun Sep 15 03:55:35 1996  Gary Houston	<ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

	* boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error key): set args and rest to
	the empty list if they are #f.
	Initialize out-of-range as an error key.

Sat Sep 14 03:41:15 1996  Gary Houston	<ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

	* PLUGIN/REQ: remove the "ice-9 lgh" line which causes a cycle.

	* boot-9.scm: remove leading %% from references to '%%system-error.
	(%%handle-system-error): don't pass all the thrown arguments when
	aborting, just the key and subr.
	Remove the code to "Install default handlers for built-in errors."
	Remove the definition of the syserror procedure.
	Associate 'numerical-overflow with default handler.

Fri Sep 13 04:58:11 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm: Name change: value-ref --> local-ref
	resolved-ref --> nested-ref  Motivation: conformance to the other
	dictionary operators: list-ref operates on list, vector-ref
	operates on vector, nested-ref operates on nested namespace,
	local-ref operates on the local nested namespace.

Sat Sep	 7 06:44:47 1996  Gary Houston	<ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>

	* boot-9.scm (%%handle-system-error): recognise errors thrown
	by lgh-error (fill-message etc.)
	(fill-message): check first whether args is null.
	(fill-message): bug fix and check that args is a list.

Thu Sep	 5 11:33:41 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

	* boot-9.scm: %load-path is initialized in C code now.
	(implementation-vicinity, parse-path): Deleted, along with code to
	initialize %load-path.

	* boot-9.scm (in-vicinity): If the vicinity doesn't end with a
	"/", use one to separate it from the file.

Thu Aug 29 23:05:11 1996  Thomas Morgan	 <tmorgan@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

	* boot-9.scm (%load-path): Add the site directory.
	Add the directory named after the version number.
	Prepend the version number to the other directories in the path.
	Simplify by mapping the common prefix onto each item.
	* Makefile.in (datadir, pkgdatadir, pkgverdatadir, subpkgdatadir,

Thu Aug 29 21:48:47 1996  Jim Blandy  <jimb@floss.cyclic.com>

	Don't use the PLUGIN system to gather information for the
	Makefile's distribution and installation targets; just put it all
	in the Makefile directly.
	* PLUGIN/this.configure (scm_files, aux_files): Remove sections
	for these.
	* configure.in: Remove code that gets and substitutes scm_files and
	aux_files.
	* Makefile.in (scm_files, aux_files): Write out the list of files
	here, where people expect to find them.

Fri Aug 23 06:44:36 1996  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@woody.nada.kth.se>

	* boot-9.scm: Preliminary solution: optionally load the debug
	module.	 Changed "gls" to "guile1.0b3".

	* Makefile.in (dist-dir): New target for new dist system.
	(manifest): Deleted.
	* PLUGIN/this.configure (aux_files): Removed PLUGIN; it's a
