Import Debian changes 3a1-4.2debian/3a1-4.2
slib (3a1-4.2) unstable; urgency=low * Non-maintainer upload. * Add guile.init.local for use within the build dir, since otherwise we have an (earlier unnoticed) circular build-dep due to a difference between scm and guile. slib (3a1-4.1) unstable; urgency=low * Non-maintainer upload. * Build-depend on guile-1.6 instead of scm, since the new version of scm is wedged in unstable (closes: #281809). slib (3a1-4) unstable; urgency=low * Also check for expected creation on slibcat. (Closes: #240096) slib (3a1-3) unstable; urgency=low * Also check for /usr/share/guile/1.6/slib before installing for guile 1.6. (Closes: #239267) slib (3a1-2) unstable; urgency=low * Add format.scm back into slib until gnucash stops using it. * Call guile-1.6 new-catalog (Closes: #238231) slib (3a1-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release * Remove Info section from doc-base file (Closes: #186950) * Remove period from end of description (linda, lintian) * html gen fixed upstream (Closes: #111778) slib (2d4-2) unstable; urgency=low * Fix url for upstream source (Closes: #144981) * Fix typo in slib.texi (enquque->enqueue) (Closes: #147475) * Add build depends. slib (2d4-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream. slib (2d3-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream. * Remove texi2html call in debian/rules. Now done upstream. Add make html instead. * Changes to rules and doc-base to conform to upstream html gen * Clean up upstream makefile to make sure it cleans up after itself.

+@noindent
+This package reads MAT-File Format version 4 (MATLAB) binary data
+files. MAT-files written from big-endian or little-endian computers
+having IEEE format numbers are currently supported. Support for files
+written from VAX or Cray machines could also be added.
+
+@noindent
+The numeric and text matrix types handled; support for @dfn{sparse}
+@cindex sparse
+matrices awaits a sample file.
+
+
+@defun matfile:read filename
+@var{filename} should be a string naming an existing file containing a
+MATLAB Version 4 MAT-File. The @code{matfile:read} procedure reads matrices from the
+file and returns a list of the results; a list of the name string and
+array for each matrix.
+@end defun
+
+@defun matfile:load filename
+@var{filename} should be a string naming an existing file containing a
+MATLAB Version 4 MAT-File. The @code{matfile:load} procedure reads matrices from the
+file and defines the @code{string-ci->symbol} for each matrix to its
+corresponding array. @code{matfile:load} returns a list of the symbols defined.
