   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.
