 * Noteworthy changes in release ?.? (????-??-??) [?]
 
+** Bug fixes
+
+  Bugs in the test suite have been fixed.
+
+  Some errors in translations have been addressed, and --help now directs
+  users to the appropriate place to report them.
+
+  Stray Info files shipped by accident are removed.
+
+  Incorrect definitions of YY_, issued by yacc.c when no parser header is
+  generated, are removed.
+
+** 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.
+
+* Noteworthy changes in release 2.6.2 (2012-08-03) [stable]
+
+** Bug fixes
+
+  Buffer overruns, complaints from Flex, and portability issues in the test
+  suite have been fixed.
+
 ** 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.
