 * Noteworthy changes in release ?.? (????-??-??) [?]
 
+** Backward incompatible changes
+
+  TL;DR: replace "#define YYERROR_VERBOSE 1" by "%define parse.error verbose".
+
+  The YYERROR_VERBOSE macro is no longer supported; the parsers that still
+  depend on it will now produce Yacc-like error messages (just "syntax
+  error").  It was superseded by the "%error-verbose" directive in Bison
+  1.875 (2003-01-01).  Bison 2.6 (2012-07-19) clearly announced that support
+  for YYERROR_VERBOSE would be removed.  Note that since Bison 3.0
+  (2013-07-25), "%error-verbose" is deprecated in favor of "%define
+  parse.error verbose".
 
 * Noteworthy changes in release 3.5 (2019-12-11) [stable]
