-Changes in version 1.75d:
+Changes in version 1.75f, 2002-12-28:
+
+* In Yacc-style parsers YYLLOC_DEFAULT is now used to compute error
+ locations too. This fixes bugs in error-location computation.
+
+* Bison now uses a Yacc-style format for conflict reports, e.g.,
+ "conflicts: 2 shift/reduce, 1 reduce/reduce".
+
+* Bison now warns if it detects conflicting outputs to the same file,
+ e.g., it generates a warning for "bison -d -o foo.h foo.y" since
+ that command outputs both code and header to foo.h.
+
+Changes in version 1.75e, 2002-12-24:
+
+* If the user does not define YYSTYPE as a macro, Bison now declares it
+ using typedef instead of defining it as a macro. POSIX requires this.
+ For consistency, YYLTYPE is also declared instead of defined.
+
+* %union directives can now have a tag before the `{', e.g., the
+ directive `%union foo {...}' now generates the C code
+ `typedef union foo { ... } YYSTYPE;'; this is for Yacc compatibility.
+ The default union tag is `YYSTYPE', for compatibility with Solaris 9 Yacc.
+ For consistency, YYLTYPE's struct tag is now `YYLTYPE' instead of `yyltype'.
+
+* `yystype' and `yyltype' are now obsolescent macros instead of being
+ typedefs or tags; they are no longer documented and will be
+ withdrawn in a future release.
+
+* References to the experimental %lex-param and %parse-param directives
+ have been temporarily removed from the manual, since we don't want
+ users to rely upon these features quite yet.
+
+Changes in version 1.75d, 2002-12-13:
* Semicolons are once again optional at the end of grammar rules.
This reverts to the behavior of Bison 1.33 and earlier, and improves
