+       build: create xz instead of bzip2 tarballs.
+       Suggested by Jim Meyering at
+       <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2011-06/msg00012.html>.
+       * README-hacking (Release Procedure): Update example.
+       * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Replace dist-bzip2 with
+       dist-xz.

+       doc: clean up references to `Locations Overview'.
+       * doc/bison.texinfo (Locations Overview): Rename node to...
+       (Locations): ... this, which is its section name.  Update menus to
+       match that and not to use the title `Tracking Locations', which is
+       a different section.

+       doc: clean up references to `Tracking Locations'.
+       * doc/bison.texinfo (Locations): Rename node to...
+       (Tracking Locations): ... this, which is its section name, and
+       update all cross references.  The trouble is that there is another
+       node about locations.  Its section name is `Locations', which was
+       easily confused with the node name of this node.  Moreover, its
+       node name is `Locations Overview', which was mistakenly used to
+       label some cross references to this node.

+
+       doc: clean up `Named References' a little.
+       * doc/bison.texinfo (Named References): Rename section to match
+       the node name, and update all cross references.  Don't use the
+       acronyms RHS and LHS given that we don't expand them anywhere in
+       the manual.  Try to use @samp and @code properly.  Mention that
+       named references are experimental as we've already stated in NEWS.
+       (Destructor Decl): Expand the only remaining use of RHS or LHS.

+       doc: motivate named references.
+       Suggested by Hans Aberg at
+       <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2011-05/msg00008.html>.
+       * doc/bison.texinfo (Named References): Explain briefly how
+       they're better than the traditional positional references.

+       doc: discuss named references after locations.
+       Reported by Hans Aberg at
+       <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2011-05/msg00008.html>.
+       * NEWS (2.5.1): Document.
+       * doc/bison.texinfo (Named References): Because it discusses
+       locations in addition to semantic values, move this subsection out
+       of the section `Defining Language Semantics', where locations have
+       not yet been introduced, to be a new section after the following
+       section, `Tracking Locations'.
