+Changes in version 2.0b, 2005-07-24:
+
+* Bison-generated parsers now support the translation of diagnostics like
+  "syntax error" into languages other than English.  The default
+  language is still English.  For details, please see the new
+  Internationalization section of the Bison manual.  Software
+  distributors should also see the new PACKAGING file.  Thanks to
+  Bruno Haible for this new feature.
+
+* Wording in the Bison-generated parsers has been changed slightly to
+  simplify translation.  In particular, the message "memory exhausted"
+  has replaced "parser stack overflow", as the old message was not
+  always accurate for modern Bison-generated parsers.
+
+* Destructors are now called when the parser aborts, for all symbols left
+  behind on the stack.  Also, the start symbol is now destroyed after a
+  successful parse.  In both cases, the behavior was formerly inconsistent.
+
+* The yytname array now contains the same contents that it did in 2.0,
+  undoing an incompatible and undocumented change made in 2.0a.
+
+Changes in version 2.0a, 2005-05-22:
+
+* When generating verbose diagnostics, Bison-generated parsers no longer
+  quote the literal strings associated with tokens.  For example, for
+  a syntax error associated with '%token NUM "number"' they might
+  print 'syntax error, unexpected number' instead of 'syntax error,
+  unexpected "number"'.
