+Changes in version 1.30f:
+
+Changes in version 1.30e:
+
+* Error messages
+  Some calls to strerror resulted in scrambled or missing error messages.
+
+* %expect
+  When the number of shift/reduce conflicts is correct, don't issue
+  any warning.
+
+* The verbose report includes the rule line numbers.
+
+* Rule line numbers are fixed in traces.
+
+Changes in version 1.30d:
+
+* Swedish translation
+
+* Parse errors
+  Verbose parse error messages from the parsers are better looking.
+  Before: parse error: unexpected `'/'', expecting `"number"' or `'-'' or `'(''
+     Now: parse error: unexpected '/', expecting "number" or '-' or '('
+
+* Fixed VCG output
+  Was broken when strings aliases for symbols were used.
+
+Changes in version 1.30c:
+
+* Fixed a few warnings.
+
+* Some portability issues.
+
+Changes in version 1.30b:
+
+* Fixed parser memory leaks.
+  When the generated parser was using malloc to extend its stacks, the
+  previous allocations were not freed.
+
+* Fixed verbose output file.
+  Some newlines were missing.
+  Some conflicts in state descriptions were missing.
+
+* Fixed conflict report.
+  Option -v was needed to get the result.
+
+* %expect
+  Was not used.
+  Mismatches are errors, not warnings.
+
+* Fixed incorrect processing of some invalid input.
+
+* Fixed CPP guards: 9foo.h uses BISON_9FOO_H instead of 9FOO_H.
+
+* Fixed some typos in the documentation.
+
+* %token MY_EOF 0 is supported.
+  Before, MY_EOF was silently renumbered as 257.
+
+* doc/refcard.tex is updated.
+
+* %output, %file-prefix, %name-prefix.
+  New.
+
+* --output
+  New, aliasing `--output-file'.

+Changes in version 1.30, 2001-10-26:
+
+* `--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.
+\f
+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.
 
 * Russian translation added.
