518 * Makefile (srcs): Add frame.texi to the list of sources.
519
520 Tue Feb 23 10:50:25 1993 Jim Blandy (jimb@wookumz.gnu.ai.mit.edu)
521
522 * Makefile (dist): Don't bother excluding autosave files; they'll
523 never make it into the temp directory anyway, and the hash marks
524 in the name are problematic for make and the Bourne shell.
525 (srcs):
526
527 Fri Feb 12 16:54:38 1993 Jim Blandy (jimb@wookumz.gnu.ai.mit.edu)
528
529 * Makefile (dist): Don't include backup files or autosave files in
530 the distribution tar file.
531
532 Tue Nov 26 21:10:34 1991 Richard Stallman (rms@mole.gnu.ai.mit.edu)
533
534 * Makefile (srcs): Added index.perm.
535 (elisp.dvi): Remove erroneous shell comment.
536 Expect output of permute-index in permuted.fns.
537 Save old elisp.aux in elisp.oaux.
538 (clean): Added index.texi to be deleted.
539
540 Sat Aug 11 17:39:10 1990 Richard Stallman (rms@sugar-bombs.ai.mit.edu)
541
542 * Makefile (elisp.dvi, index.texi): Use shell if instead of ifdef.
543
544 Tue Jun 26 09:57:26 1990 David Lawrence (tale@geech)
545
546 * files.texi: Noted that completion-ignored-extensions is ignored
547 when making *Completions*.
548
549 Fri Jun 8 16:44:44 EDT 1990 Jay Fenlason (hack@ai.mit.edu)
550
551 * Makefile make dist now depends on elisp.dvi, since it tries
552 to include it in the dist file.
553
554 Wed Mar 28 22:57:35 1990 Jim Kingdon (kingdon@mole.ai.mit.edu)
555
556 * functions.texinfo (Mapping Functions): Add missing quote
557
558 Mon Jun 19 18:09:24 1989 Richard Stallman (rms@sugar-bombs.ai.mit.edu)
559
560 * texinfo.tex (frenchspacing): Use decimal codes for char to be set.
561 (defunargs): Turn off \hyphenchar of \sl font temporarily.
562
563 Wed May 10 18:01:17 1989 Robert J. Chassell (bob@rice-chex.ai.mit.edu)
564
565 * @result{}, @expansion{}, @print{}, @quiv{}, @point{},
566 and @error{} are the terms now being used. The files in the
567 directory have been changed to reflect this.
568
569 * All instances of @indentedresultt{} have been changed to
570 ` @result{}', using 5 spaces at the begining of the line.
571
572 Mon Apr 24 21:02:55 1989 Robert J. Chassell (bob@rice-chex.ai.mit.edu)
573
574 * @result{}, @expandsto{}, @prints{}, @quiv{}, @error{}, and the
575 experimental @indentedresult{}, @indentedexpandsto{} are part of
576 the texinfo.tex in this directory. These TeX macros are not
577 stable yet.
578
579 Mon Apr 17 18:56:50 1989 Robert J. Chassell (bob@rice-chex.ai.mit.edu)
580
581 * texinfo.tex: temporarily added
582 \let\result=\dblarrow
583 \def\error{{\it ERROR} \longdblarrow}
584 We need to do this better soon.
585
586 Tue Apr 11 12:23:28 1989 Robert J. Chassell (bob@rice-chex.ai.mit.edu)
587
588 * Applied Karl Berry's patches to *.texinfo files, but not to
589 texinfo.tex; those diffs are in `berry-texinfo-tex-diffs'. (Karl's
590 new title page format is also not applied, since it requires
591 texinfo.tex changes.)
592
593 * Cleaned up `Makefile' and defined the `emacslibdir' directory
594 for the Project GNU development environment.
