-* Bison-generated C parsers use the _ macro to translate strings from
-  English to the user's language, e.g., _("syntax error").  By default,
-  _ is defined to be a no-op macro so the strings are not translated.
+* Bison-generated C parsers now support the translation of diagnostics like
+  "syntax error" into languages other than English.  The default
+  language is still English.  For details, please see the new
+  Internationalization section of the Bison manual.  Thanks to Bruno
+  Haible for this new feature.
+
+* When generating verbose diagnostics, Bison-generated C parsers no longer
+  quote the literal strings associated with tokens.  For example, for
+  a syntax error associated with '%token NUM "number"' they might
+  print 'syntax error, unexpected number' instead of 'syntax error,
+  unexpected "number"'.
