+Changes in version 1.75b:
+
+* %destructor
+  It is now possible to reclaim the memory associated to symbols
+  discarded during error recovery.  This feature is still experimental.
+
+* Bison now parses C99 lexical constructs like digraphs, UCNs, and
+  backslash-newline within C escape sequences, as POSIX now requires.
+
+* --no-line works properly.
+
+* %error-verbose
+  This new directive is preferred over YYERROR_VERBOSE.
+
+* %lex-param, %parse-param
+  These new directives are preferred over PARSE_PARAM and LEX_PARAM.
+  In addition, they provide a means for yyerror to remain pure, and
+  to access to the current location.
+
+  #defining yyerror to steal internal variables is strongly
+  discouraged.  It is not guaranteed to work for ever.
+
+* #line
+  Bison now recognizes #line in its input, and forwards them.
+
+* #line
+  File names are properly escaped. E.g. foo\bar.y give #line 123 "foo\\bar.y".

+Changes in version 1.75a, 2002-10-24:
 
 * Bison can no longer be built by a K&R C compiler; it requires C89 or
   later to be built.  This change originally took place a few versions
   ago, but nobody noticed until we recently asked someone to try
   building Bison with a K&R C compiler.

   the user symbol is used in the reports, the graphs, and the verbose
   error messages instead of `$end', which remains being the default.
   For instance
-     %token YYEOF 0

-     %token YYEOF 0 "end of file"
