+Changes in version 2.1a:
+
+* lalr1.cc: The token and value types are now class members.
+  The tokens where defined as free form enums and cpp macros.  YYSTYPE
+  was defined as a free form union.  Both are now class members:
+  tokens are enumerations of the `yy::parser::token' struct, and the
+  semantic values have the `yy::parser::semantic_type' type.
