+Changes in version 1.75c:

 
 

-Changes in version 1.75b:
+* "parse error" -> "syntax error"
+  Bison now uniformly uses the term "syntax error"; formerly, the code
+  and manual sometimes used the term "parse error" instead.  POSIX
+  requires "syntax error" in diagnostics, and it was thought better to
+  be consistent.

 
 

-* Bison now parses C99 lexical constructs like digraphs, UCNs, and
-  backslash-newline within C escape sequences, as POSIX now requires.
+* "parsing stack overflow..." -> "parser stack overflow"
+  GLR parsers now report "parser stack overflow" as per the Bison manual.
+
+* GLR and inline
+  Users of Bison have to decide how they handle the portability of the
+  C keyword `inline'.
+
+Changes in version 1.75b, 2002-11-13:
+
+* %destructor
+  It is now possible to reclaim the memory associated to symbols
+  discarded during error recovery.  This feature is still experimental.

+* Bison now parses C99 lexical constructs like UCNs and
+  backslash-newline within C escape sequences, as POSIX 1003.1-2001 requires.
