+Changes in version 1.28c:
+
+* The input and the output files has automatically a similar extension.
+
+* Russian translation added.
+
+* NLS support updated; should hopefully be less troublesome.
+
+* Added the old Bison reference card.
+
+* Added `--locations' and `%locations'.
+
+* Added `-S' and `--skeleton'.
+
+* `%raw', `-r', `--raw' is disabled.
+
+* Special characters are escaped when output.  This solves the problems
+  of the #line lines with path names including backslashes.
+
+* New directives.
+  `%yacc', `%fixed_output_files', `%defines', `%no_parser', `%verbose' and
+  `%debug'.
+\f
+Changes in version 1.28:
+
+* Should compile better now with K&R compilers.
+
+* Added NLS.
+
+* Fixed a problem with escaping the double quote character.
+
+* There is now a FAQ.
+\f
+Changes in version 1.27:
+
+* The make rule which prevented bison.simple from being created on
+  some systems has been fixed.
+\f
+Changes in version 1.26:
+
+* Bison now uses automake.
+
+* New mailing lists: <bug-bison@gnu.org> and <help-bison@gnu.org>.
+
+* Token numbers now start at 257 as previously documented, not 258.
+
+* Bison honors the TMPDIR environment variable.
+
+* A couple of buffer overruns have been fixed.
+
+* Problems when closing files should now be reported.
+
+* Generated parsers should now work even on operating systems which do
+  not provide alloca().
+\f
+Changes in version 1.25:
+
+* Errors in the input grammar are not fatal; Bison keeps reading
+the grammar file, and reports all the errors found in it.
+
+* Tokens can now be specified as multiple-character strings: for
+example, you could use "<=" for a token which looks like <=, instead
+of chosing a name like LESSEQ.
+
+* The %token_table declaration says to write a table of tokens (names
+and numbers) into the parser file.  The yylex function can use this
+table to recognize multiple-character string tokens, or for other
+purposes.
+
+* The %no_lines declaration says not to generate any #line preprocessor
+directives in the parser file.
+
+* The %raw declaration says to use internal Bison token numbers, not
+Yacc-compatible token numbers, when token names are defined as macros.
+
+* The --no-parser option produces the parser tables without including
+the parser engine; a project can now use its own parser engine.
+The actions go into a separate file called NAME.act, in the form of
+a switch statement body.
