 * 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

 *** 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
