+Changes in version 2.0b, 2005-07-24:
-* Bison-generated C parsers use the _ macro to translate strings from
- English to the user's language, e.g., _("syntax error"). By default,
- _ is defined to be a no-op macro so the strings are not translated.
+* Bison-generated parsers now support the translation of diagnostics like

+* Destructors are now called when the parser aborts, for all symbols left
+ behind on the stack. Also, the start symbol is now destroyed after a

print 'syntax error, unexpected number' instead of 'syntax error,
