 Changes in version 1.49a:
 
+* Large grammars
+  Are now supported (large token numbers, large grammar size (= sum of
+  the LHS and RHS lengths).
+
+* The initial rule is explicit.
+  Bison used to play hacks with the initial rule, which the user does
+  not write.  It is now explicit, and visible in the reports and
+  graphs as rule 0.
+      
+* Useless rules are actually removed.
+  Before, Bison reported the useless rules, but, although not used,
+  included them in the parsers.
+        
+* False `Token not used' report fixed.
+  On a grammar such as
+
+           %token useless useful
+           %%
+           exp: '0' %prec useful;
+
+  where a token was used to set the precedence of the last rule,
+  bison reported both `useful' and `useless' as useless tokens.
+
+* 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.
