+Changes in version 1.49b:
* Undefined token
The undefined token was systematically mapped to 2 which prevented
* Large grammars
Are now supported (large token numbers, large grammar size (= sum of
- the LHS and RHS lengths).
+ the LHS and RHS lengths), large LALR tables).
* The initial rule is explicit.
Bison used to play hacks with the initial rule, which the user does
* Revert the C++ namespace changes introduced in 1.31, as they caused too
many portability hassles.
-* Items overflow
- Bison no longer dumps core when there are too many items, it just
- dies.
+* Default locations
+ By an accident of design, the default computation of @$ was
+ performed after another default computation was performed: @$ = @1.
+ The latter is now removed: YYLLOC_DEFAULT is fully responsible of
+ the computation of @$.
* Token end-of-file
The token end of file may be specified by the user, in which case,
%token YYEOF 0
or
%token YYEOF 0 "end of file"
+
+* Semantic parser
+ This old option, which has been broken for ages, is removed.
+
+* New tranlations
+ Croatian, thanks to Denis Lackovic.

+Changes in version 1.35, 2002-03-25:
+
+* C Skeleton
+ Some projects use Bison's C parser with C++ compilers, and define
+ YYSTYPE as a class. The recent adjustment of C parsers for data
+ alignment and 64 bit architectures made this impossible.
+
+ Because for the time being no real solution for C++ parser
+ generation exists, kludges were implemented in the parser to
+ maintain this use. In the future, when Bison has C++ parsers, this
+ kludge will be disabled.
+
+ This kludge also addresses some C++ problems when the stack was
+ extended.

+Changes in version 1.34, 2002-03-12:
+
+* File name clashes are detected
+ $ bison foo.y -d -o foo.x
+ fatal error: header and parser would both be named `foo.x'
+
+* A missing `;' at the end of a rule triggers a warning
+ In accordance with POSIX, and in agreement with other
+ Yacc implementations, Bison will mandate this semicolon in the near
+ future. This eases the implementation of a Bison parser of Bison
+ grammars by making this grammar LALR(1) instead of LR(2). To
+ facilitate the transition, this release introduces a warning.
+
+* Revert the C++ namespace changes introduced in 1.31, as they caused too
+ many portability hassles.
+
+* DJGPP support added.
+
+* Fix test suite portability problems.

+Changes in version 1.33, 2002-02-07:
+
+* Fix C++ issues
+ Groff could not be compiled for the definition of size_t was lacking
+ under some conditions.
+
+* Catch invalid @n
+ As is done with $n.
+\f
+Changes in version 1.32, 2002-01-23:
+
+* Fix Yacc output file names
+
+* Portability fixes
+
+* Italian, Dutch translations

Changes in version 1.31, 2002-01-14:
* Better C++ compliance
The output parsers try to respect C++ namespaces.
+ [This turned out to be a failed experiment, and it was reverted later.]
* Reduced Grammars
Fixed bugs when reporting useless nonterminals.
* --output
New, aliasing `--output-file'.

-Changes in version 1.30:
+Changes in version 1.30, 2001-10-26:
* `--defines' and `--graph' have now an optionnal argument which is the
output file name. `-d' and `-g' do not change, they do not take any
Local Variables:
mode: outline
