   Incorrect definitions of YY_, issued by yacc.c when no parser header is
   generated, are removed.
 
+  All the generated headers are self-contained.
+
+** Changes in the format of error messages
+
+  This used to be the format of many error reports:
+
+    foo.y:5.10-24: result type clash on merge function 'merge': <t3> != <t2>
+    foo.y:4.13-27: previous declaration
+
+  It is now:
+
+    foo.y:5.10-25: result type clash on merge function 'merge': <t3> != <t2>
+    foo.y:4.13-27:     previous declaration
+
+** Header guards (yacc.c, glr.c, glr.cc)
+
+  In order to avoid collisions, the header guards are now
+  YY_<PREFIX>_<FILE>_INCLUDED, instead of merely <PREFIX>_<FILE>.
+  For instance the header generated from
+
+    %define api.prefix "calc"
+    %defines "lib/parse.h"
+
+  will use YY_CALC_LIB_PARSE_H_INCLUDED as guard.
