-** Changes
-
-*** Graphviz output
-
-  In conformance with the recommendations of the Graphviz team, if %require
-  "3.4" (or better) is specified, the option --graph generates a *.gv file
-  by default, instead of *.dot.
-
-*** Diagnostics overhaul
-
-  Column numbers were wrong with multibyte characters, which would also
-  result in skewed diagnostics with carets.  Beside, because we were
-  indenting the quoted source with a single space, lines with tab characters
-  were incorrectly underlined.
-
-  To address these issues, and to be clearer, Bison now issues diagnostics
-  as GCC9 does.  For instance it used to display (there's a tab before the
-  opening brace):
-
-    foo.y:3.37-38: error: $2 of ‘expr’ has no declared type
-     expr: expr '+' "number"        { $$ = $1 + $2; }
-                                         ^~

-    foo.y:3.37-38: error: $2 of ‘expr’ has no declared type

-  Other constructs now also have better locations, resulting in more precise
-  diagnostics.

+  Running Bison with -Wempty-rules and --update will remove incorrect %empty

+*** Better support for --no-line.
+
+  When --no-line is used, the generated files are now cleaner: no lines are
+  generated instead of empty lines.  Together with using api.header.include,
+  that should help people saving the generated files into version control
+  systems get smaller diffs.

   A new example in C shows a reentrant parser (capable of recursive calls)

+** Bug fixes

+  A few obscure bugs were fixed, including the second oldest (known) bug in
