+** Bug fixes
+
+  Bugs and portability issues in the test suite have been fixed.
+
+  Some errors in translations have been addressed, and --help now directs
+  users to the appropriate place to report them.
+
+  Stray Info files shipped by accident are removed.
+
+  Incorrect definitions of YY_, issued by yacc.c when no parser header is
+  generated, are removed.
+
+  All the generated headers are self-contained.
+
+** Header guards (yacc.c, glr.c, glr.cc)
+
+  In order to avoid collisions, the header guards are now
+  YY_<PREFIX>_<FILE>_INCLUDED, instead of merely <PREFIX>_<FILE>.
+  For instance the header generated from
+
+    %define api.prefix "calc"
+    %defines "lib/parse.h"
+
+  will use YY_CALC_LIB_PARSE_H_INCLUDED as guard.

+
+** Bug fixes
+
+  Buffer overruns, complaints from Flex, and portability issues in the test
+  suite have been fixed.
+
+** Spaces in %lex- and %parse-param (lalr1.cc, glr.cc)
+
+  Trailing end-of-lines in %parse-param or %lex-param would result in
+  invalid C++.  This is fixed.
+
+** Spurious spaces and end-of-lines
+
+  The generated files no longer end (nor start) with empty lines.
