bison-1.28d released

[Akim Demaille]

The following message is a courtesy copy of an article
that has been posted to gnu.misc.discuss,epita.cours.compile as well.


This is our release candidate: unless someone finds a show stopper,
you should find Bison 1.29 in the GNU store next to you next week.
The code is frozen, except the test suite which should be modernized
this weekend.

Please, use this version on actual projects, so that we don't have to
release 1.30 two days after 1.29 :)

I would like to thank Robert Anisko, Marc Autret, Pascal Bart for
their intensive work on Bison as part of their EPITA student project.

Happy parsing!

NEWS:
Changes in version 1.28d:

* Output file does not redefine const; that is now config.h's job.

* Added `-g' and `--graph'.

* The Bison manual is now distributed under the terms of the GNU FDL.

* The input and the output files has automatically a similar extension.

* Russian translation added.

* NLS support updated; should hopefully be less troublesome.

* Added the old Bison reference card.

* Added `--locations' and `%locations'.

* Added `-S' and `--skeleton'.

* `%raw', `-r', `--raw' is disabled.

* Special characters are escaped when output.  This solves the problems
  of the #line lines with path names including backslashes.

* New directives.
  `%yacc', `%fixed_output_files', `%defines', `%no_parser', `%verbose',
  `%debug', `%source_extension' and `%header_extension'.

        * src/bison.simple (yyparse): Don't take the address of an
        item before the start of an array, as that doesn't conform to

2001-08-29  Akim Demaille  <address@hidden>

2001-08-29  Akim Demaille  <address@hidden>
