+* Noteworthy changes in release ?.? (????-??-??) [?]
+
+
+* 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.
