slib (2c7-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream. * Add slibconfig back in. slib (2c6-2) unstable; urgency=low * Remove the slib$(VERSION).info file. Cut the diff back down to size. slib (2c6-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream. * Move docs to /usr/share. Up standards version. add /usr/doc symlink. Move info files. Remove undocumented link. slib (2c5-6) unstable; urgency=low * Lowercase two vars in yasyn.scm (Fixes bug #37222) slib (2c5-5) unstable; urgency=low * Fix it so string-index isn't defined (now there is a strsrch:string-index) (Fixes #38812) slib (2c5-4) unstable; urgency=low * Don't run slibconfig in postinst.

-This message announces the availability of Scheme Library release
-slib2c3.
-
-New in slib2c3 are filename matching (a la Bash glob) and `Schmooz', a
-lightweight markup language for interspersing Texinfo documentation
-with Scheme source code.
-
- * slib.texi (Filenames): documented pattern strings.
- * Makefile: Added $srcdir to TEXINPUTS for TeX.
- * slib.texi (Schmooz): Added documentation.
- * Makefile (info htmlform.txi): made smarter about when to run
- schmooz.
- * slib.texi (Format): documentation moved to fmtdoc.txi.
- * glob.scm (filename:match?? filename:match-ci??): aliases added.
- * primes.scm (primes:prngs): added to reduce likelyhood of
- reentrant random calls.
- * random.scm: rewritten using new seedable RNG.
- * randinex.scm (random:uniform): Rewritten for new RNG.
- * primes.scm (primes:dbsp?): Now requires 'root and uses
- integer-sqrt for sqrt on platforms not supporting inexacts.
- * record.scm (rtd-name): Fixed so record rtds print.
- * cring.scm (*): Number distribution requires separate treatment.
- * factor.scm (prime:factor): (factor 0) now returns '(0) rather
- than infinite-looping.
- * cring.scm (*): Added check for (* -1 (- <expr>)) case.
- * prec.scm (prec:warn): now takes arbitrary number of arguments.
- (prec:nofix):
- (prec:postfix): extra arguments are appended to the rules list;
- not bound.
- * qp.scm (qp:qp): *qp-width* set to #f now the same as *qp-width*
- set to 0 -- the full expressions are printed.
- * prec.scm (prec:nofix): Added . binds args, which are combined
- with *syn-rules*.
-
- From: Radey Shouman <Radey_Shouman@splashtech.com>
-
- * glob.scm: Added.
- * schmooz.scm (schmooz): Added @args markup command.
- * schmooz.scm (schmooz): Now tries harder to determine whether a
- definition is of a procedure or non-procedure variable.
- Recognizes DEFMACRO, DEFINE-SYNTAX.
- * schmooz.scm (scheme-args->macros): Now passed either a symbol,
- for variable definition, or a possibly improper list, for
- function/macro definition. For the variable definition case
- generates @var{... for @0 instead of @code{... Now uses APPEND to
- be more readable.

-SLIB is a portable scheme library meant to provide compatibiliy and
-utility functions for all standard scheme implementations.

-SLIB includes initialization files for Chez, ELK 2.1, GAMBIT,
-MacScheme, MITScheme, scheme->C, Scheme48, SCM, scsh, T3.1, and VSCM.
+This message announces the availability of Scheme Library release slib2c7.
+
+New in slib2c7:
+
+ * charplot.scm (charplot:number->string): printf %g gets rid of
+ microscopic fractions.
+ * printf.scm (%g): Make precision threshold work for both
+ fractions and integers.
+ * nclients.scm (browse-url-netscape): Try running netscape in
+ background.
+ * batch.scm (write-batch-line): Added slib:warn.
+ * paramlst.scm (check-parameters): Improved warning.
+ * batch.scm (batch:command): Renamed from batch:system.
+ (batch:try-command): Renamed from batch:try-system.
+ (batch:try-chopped-command): Added.
+ (batch:apply-chop-to-fit): Removed.
+ * glob.scm (replace-suffix): Now works.
+ * slib.texi: Put description and URL into slib_toc.html.
