16 | * `%raw', `-r', `--raw' is disabled. |

18 | * Special characters are escaped when output. This solves the problems |
| 19 | of the #line lines with path names including backslashes. | |
| 20 | ||
| 6deb4447 AD |
21 | * New directives. |
| 22 | `%yacc', `%fixed_output_files', `%defines', `%no_parser', `%verbose', and | |

| 27 | * Should compile better now with K&R compilers. | |
| 28 | ||
| 29 | * Added NLS. | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | * Fixed a problem with escaping the double quote character. | |
| 32 | ||

35 | Changes in version 1.27: |
| 36 | ||
| 37 | * The make rule which prevented bison.simple from being created on | |
| 38 | some systems has been fixed. | |
| 39 | \f | |
| 40 | Changes in version 1.26: | |
| 4be07551 JT |
41 | |
| 42 | * Bison now uses automake. | |
| 43 | ||
| 44 | * New mailing lists: <bug-bison@gnu.org> and <help-bison@gnu.org>. | |
| 45 | ||
| 46 | * Token numbers now start at 257 as previously documented, not 258. | |
| 47 | ||
| 48 | * Bison honors the TMPDIR environment variable. | |
| 49 | ||
| 50 | * A couple of buffer overruns have been fixed. | |
| f51dbca1 JT |
51 | |
| 52 | * Problems when closing files should now be reported. | |
| 53 | ||
| 54 | * Generated parsers should now work even on operating systems which do | |
| 55 | not provide alloca(). | |

| 5c31c3c2 | 57 | Changes in version 1.25: |
| df8878c5 RS |
58 | |
| 59 | * Errors in the input grammar are not fatal; Bison keeps reading | |
| 60 | the grammar file, and reports all the errors found in it. | |
| 8c44d3ec | 61 | |
| df8878c5 RS |
62 | * Tokens can now be specified as multiple-character strings: for |
| 63 | example, you could use "<=" for a token which looks like <=, instead | |
| 64 | of chosing a name like LESSEQ. | |
| 65 | ||
| 66 | * The %token_table declaration says to write a table of tokens (names | |
| 67 | and numbers) into the parser file. The yylex function can use this | |
| 68 | table to recognize multiple-character string tokens, or for other | |
| 69 | purposes. | |
| 70 | ||
| 71 | * The %no_lines declaration says not to generate any #line preprocessor | |
| 72 | directives in the parser file. | |
| 73 | ||
| 74 | * The %raw declaration says to use internal Bison token numbers, not | |
| 75 | Yacc-compatible token numbers, when token names are defined as macros. | |
| 76 | ||
| 77 | * The --no-parser option produces the parser tables without including | |
| 78 | the parser engine; a project can now use its own parser engine. | |
| 79 | The actions go into a separate file called NAME.act, in the form of | |
| 80 | a switch statement body. | |

82 | Changes in version 1.23: |
| 83 | ||
| 4d019228 DM |
84 | The user can define YYPARSE_PARAM as the name of an argument to be |
| 85 | passed into yyparse. The argument should have type void *. It should | |
| 86 | actually point to an object. Grammar actions can access the variable | |
| 87 | by casting it to the proper pointer type. | |
| 6780ca7a | 88 | |
| 6780ca7a | 89 | Line numbers in output file corrected. |
