 * Noteworthy changes in release ?.? (????-??-??) [?]
 
+** Spaces in %lex- and %parse-param (lalr1.cc, glr.cc)
+
+  Trailing end-of-lines in %parse-param or %lex-param would result in
+  invalid C++.  This is fixed.
+
+** Spurious spaces and end-of-lines
+
+  The generated files no longer end (nor start) with empty lines.
+
+* Noteworthy changes in release 2.6.1 (2012-07-30) [stable]
+
  Bison no longer executes user-specified M4 code when processing a grammar.
 
+** Future Changes
+
+  In addition to the removal of the features announced in Bison 2.6, the
+  next major release will remove the "Temporary hack for adding a semicolon
+  to the user action", as announced in the release 2.5.  Instead of:
+
+    exp: exp "+" exp { $$ = $1 + $3 };
+
+  write:
+
+    exp: exp "+" exp { $$ = $1 + $3; };
+
 ** Bug fixes
 
 *** Type names are now properly escaped.
 
 *** glr.cc: set_debug_level and debug_level work as expected.
 
-** Type names in printers and destructors
+*** Stray @ or $ in actions
+
+  While Bison used to warn about stray $ or @ in action rules, it did not
+  for other actions such as printers, destructors, or initial actions.  It
+  now does.
+
+** Type names in actions
 
   For consistency with rule actions, it is now possible to qualify $$ by a
-  type-name in printers and destructors.  For instance:
+  type-name in destructors, printers, and initial actions.  For instance:
 
     %printer { fprintf (yyo, "(%d, %f)", $<ival>$, $<fval>$); } <*> <>;
 
   will display two values for each typed and untyped symbol (provided
-  that YYSTYPE supports it).
+  that YYSTYPE has both "ival" and "fval" fields).
