* Noteworthy changes in release ?.? (????-??-??) [?]
+A new mailing list was created, Bison Announce. It is low traffic, and is
+only about announcing new releases and important messages (e.g., polls about
+major decisions to make).
-* Noteworthy changes in release 3.2.91 (2019-01-19) [beta]
+https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bison-announce
+
+** Backward incompatible changes
+
+ Support for DJGPP, which has been unmaintained and untested for years, is
+ removed.
+
+** Deprecated features
+
+ A new feature, --update (see below) helps adjusting existing grammars to
+ deprecations.
+
+*** Deprecated directives
+
+ The %error-verbose directive is deprecated in favor of '%define
+ parse.error verbose' since Bison 3.0, but no warning was issued.
+
+ The '%name-prefix "xx"' directive is deprecated in favor of '%define
+ api.prefix {xx}' since Bison 3.0, but no warning was issued. These
+ directives are slightly different, you might need to adjust your code.
+ %name-prefix renames only symbols with external linkage, while api.prefix
+ also renames types and macros, including YYDEBUG, YYTOKENTYPE,
+ yytokentype, YYSTYPE, YYLTYPE, etc.
+
+ Users of Flex that move from '%name-prefix "xx"' to '%define api.prefix
+ {xx}' will typically have to update YY_DECL from
+
+ #define YY_DECL int xxlex (YYSTYPE *yylval, YYLTYPE *yylloc)
+
+ to
+
+ #define YY_DECL int xxlex (XXSTYPE *yylval, XXLTYPE *yylloc)
+
+*** Deprecated %define variable names
+
+ The following variables, mostly related to parsers in Java, have been
+ renamed for consistency. Backward compatibility is ensured, but upgrading
+ is recommended.
+
+ abstract -> api.parser.abstract
+ annotations -> api.parser.annotations
+ extends -> api.parser.extends
+ final -> api.parser.final
+ implements -> api.parser.implements

*** Bison is now relocatable
If you pass '--enable-relocatable' to 'configure', Bison is relocatable.
A relocatable program can be moved or copied to a different location on
the file system. It can also be used through mount points for network
- sharing. It is possible to make symlinks to the installed and moved
- programs, and invoke them through the symlink.
