* Changes in version 2.5.1 (????-??-??):
-** Some portability problems in the test suite have been fixed.
+** Future changes:
-** Minor improvements have been made to the manual.
+ The next major release will drop support for K&R C.
+
+** yacc.c: YYBACKUP works as expected.
+
+** glr.c improvements:
+
+*** Location support is eliminated when not requested:
+
+ GLR parsers used to include location-related code even when
+ locations were not requested, and therefore not even usable.
+
+*** __attribute__ is preserved:
+
+ __attribute__ is no longer disabled when __STRICT_ANSI__ is defined
+ (i.e., when -std is passed to GCC).
+
+** lalr1.java: several fixes:
+
+ The Java parser no longer throws ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException if
+ the first token leads to a syntax error. Some minor clean ups.
+
+** C++11 compatibility:
+
+ C and C++ parsers use nullptr instead of 0 when __cplusplus is
+ 201103L or higher.
+
+** C++ locations:
+
+ The position and location constructors (and their initialize
+ methods) accept new arguments for line and column. Several issues
+ in the documentation were fixed.
+
+** liby is no longer asking for "rpl_fprintf" on some platforms.
+
+** Several improvements have been made to the manual:
+
+ The layout for grammar excerpts was changed to a more compact
+ scheme. Named references are motivated. The description of the
+ automaton description file (*.output) is updated to the current
+ format. Incorrect index entries were fixed. Some other errors were
+ fixed.
+
+** Warnings during the build procedure have been eliminated.
+
+** Several portability problems in the test suite have been fixed:
+
+ This includes warnings with some compilers, unexpected behavior of
+ tools such as diff, warning messages from the test suite itself,
+ etc.
