+  We consider compiler warnings about Bison generated parsers to be bugs.
+  Rather than working around them in your own project, please consider

+** Bug fixes
+
+  Warnings about uninitialized yylval and/or yylloc for push parsers with a
+  pure interface have been fixed for GCC 4.0 up to 4.8, and Clang 2.9 to
+  3.2.
+
+  Other issues in the test suite have been addressed.
+
+  Nul characters are correctly displayed in error messages.
+
+  When possible, yylloc is correctly initialized before calling yylex.  It
+  is no longer necessary to initialize it in the %initial-action.
