----------
-Changes in the next version (not yet released):
+Changes in version 2.1a:
+
+* lalr1.cc: The token and value types are now class members.
+ The tokens where defined as free form enums and cpp macros. YYSTYPE
+ was defined as a free form union. Both are now class members:
+ tokens are enumerations of the `yy::parser::token' struct, and the
+ semantic values have the `yy::parser::semantic_type' type.
+
+ If you do not want or can update to this scheme, the directive
+ `%define "global_tokens_and_yystype" "1"' triggers the global
+ definition of tokens and YYSTYPE.
+
+
+Changes in version 2.1, 2005-09-16:
* Bison-generated parsers now support the translation of diagnostics like
"syntax error" into languages other than English. The default
has replaced "parser stack overflow", as the old message was not
always accurate for modern Bison-generated parsers.
-The following change was also in version 2.0a, 2005-05-22:
+* Destructors are now called when the parser aborts, for all symbols left
+ behind on the stack. Also, the start symbol is now destroyed after a
+ successful parse. In both cases, the behavior was formerly inconsistent.
* When generating verbose diagnostics, Bison-generated parsers no longer
quote the literal strings associated with tokens. For example, for
alloca is used only when compiled with GCC, to avoid portability
problems as on AIX.
+* yyparse now returns 2 if memory is exhausted; formerly it dumped core.
+
* When the generated parser lacks debugging code, YYDEBUG is now 0
(as POSIX requires) instead of being undefined.
