* Noteworthy changes in release ?.? (????-??-??) [?]
-** Future changes
+ We consider compiler warnings about Bison generated parsers to be bugs.
+ Rather than working around them in your own project, please consider
+ reporting them to us.
+
+** Bug fixes
+
+ Warnings about uninitialized yylval and/or yylloc for push parsers with a
+ pure interface have been fixed for GCC 4.0 up to 4.8, and Clang 2.9 to
+ 3.2.
+
+ Other issues in the test suite have been addressed.
+
+ Nul characters are correctly displayed in error messages.
+
+* Noteworthy changes in release 2.6.4 (2012-10-23) [stable]
+
+ Bison 2.6.3's --version was incorrect. This release fixes this issue.
+
+* Noteworthy changes in release 2.6.3 (2012-10-22) [stable]
+
+** 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.
+
+** Fix compiler warnings in the generated parser (yacc.c, glr.c)
+
+ The compilation of pure parsers (%define api.pure) can trigger GCC
+ warnings such as:
+
+ input.c: In function 'yyparse':
+ input.c:1503:12: warning: 'yylval' may be used uninitialized in this
+ function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
+ *++yyvsp = yylval;
+ ^
+
+ This is now fixed; pragmas to avoid these warnings are no longer needed.
+
+ Warnings from clang ("equality comparison with extraneous parentheses" and
+ "function declared 'noreturn' should not return") have also been
+ addressed.
+
+* Noteworthy changes in release 2.6.2 (2012-08-03) [stable]
+
+** 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.
+
+* Noteworthy changes in release 2.6.1 (2012-07-30) [stable]
+
+ Bison no longer executes user-specified M4 code when processing a grammar.
+
+** Future Changes
+
+ In addition to the removal of the features announced in Bison 2.6, the
+ next major release will remove the "Temporary hack for adding a semicolon
+ to the user action", as announced in the release 2.5. Instead of:
+
+ exp: exp "+" exp { $$ = $1 + $3 };
+
+ write:
+
+ exp: exp "+" exp { $$ = $1 + $3; };
+
+** Bug fixes
+
+*** Type names are now properly escaped.
+
+*** glr.cc: set_debug_level and debug_level work as expected.
+
+*** Stray @ or $ in actions
+
+ While Bison used to warn about stray $ or @ in action rules, it did not
+ for other actions such as printers, destructors, or initial actions. It
+ now does.
+
+** Type names in actions
+
+ For consistency with rule actions, it is now possible to qualify $$ by a
+ type-name in destructors, printers, and initial actions. For instance:
+
+ %printer { fprintf (yyo, "(%d, %f)", $<ival>$, $<fval>$); } <*> <>;
+
+ will display two values for each typed and untyped symbol (provided
+ that YYSTYPE has both "ival" and "fval" fields).
+
+* Noteworthy changes in release 2.6 (2012-07-19) [stable]
+
+** Future Changes
The next major release of Bison will drop support for the following
deprecated features. Please report disagreements to bug-bison@gnu.org.
-*** K&C parsers
+*** K&R C parsers
Support for generating parsers in K&R C will be removed. Parsers
generated for C support ISO C90, and are tested with ISO C99 and ISO C11
because existing versions of ylwrap (e.g., Automake 1.12.1) do not support
it.
