+Changes in version 1.49a:
+
+* Items overflow
+  Bison no longer dumps core when there are too many items, it just
+  dies.
+
+* Token end-of-file
+  The token end of file may be specified by the user, in which case,
+  the user symbol is used in the reports, the graphs, and the verbose
+  error messages instead of `$', which remains being the defaults.
+  For instance
+     %token YYEOF 0
+  or
+     %token YYEOF 0 "end of file"
+\f
+Changes in version 1.30:
+
+* `--defines' and `--graph' have now an optionnal argument which is the
+  output file name. `-d' and `-g' do not change, they do not take any
+  argument.
+
+* `%source_extension' and `%header_extension' are removed, failed
+  experiment.
+
+* Portability fixes.

+Changes in version 1.29, 2001-09-07:
+
+* The output file does not define const, as this caused problems when used
+  with common autoconfiguration schemes.  If you still use ancient compilers
+  that lack const, compile with the equivalent of the C compiler option
+  `-Dconst='.  autoconf's AC_C_CONST macro provides one way to do this.
+
+* Added `-g' and `--graph'.
+
+* The Bison manual is now distributed under the terms of the GNU FDL.
 
 * The input and the output files has automatically a similar extension.
