Some serious, and old, bugs have been fixed. Here are the compressed sources: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bison/bison-2.6.2.tar.gz (3.0MB) ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bison/bison-2.6.2.tar.xz (1.6MB)
Here are the GPG detached signatures[*]: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bison/bison-2.6.2.tar.gz.sig ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bison/bison-2.6.2.tar.xz.sig Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth: http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html [*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the .sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this: gpg --verify bison-2.6.2.tar.gz.sig If that command fails because you don't have the required public key, then run this command to import it: gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 0DDCAA3278D5264E and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command. This release was bootstrapped with the following tools: Autoconf 2.69 Automake 1.12.2 Flex 2.5.36 Gettext 0.18.1 Gnulib v0.0-7558-gbd54a45 NEWS * Noteworthy changes in release 2.6.2 (2012-08-03) [stable] ** Bug fixes Buffer overruns, complaints from Flex, and portability issues in the test suite have been fixed. ** Spaces in %lex- and %parse-param (lalr1.cc, glr.cc) Trailing end-of-lines in %parse-param or %lex-param would result in invalid C++. This is fixed. ** Spurious spaces and end-of-lines The generated files no longer end (nor start) with empty lines. * Noteworthy changes in release 2.6.1 (2012-07-30) [stable] Bison no longer executes user-specified M4 code when processing a grammar. ** Future Changes In addition to the removal of the features announced in Bison 2.6, the next major release will remove the "Temporary hack for adding a semicolon to the user action", as announced in the release 2.5. Instead of: exp: exp "+" exp { $$ = $1 + $3 }; write: exp: exp "+" exp { $$ = $1 + $3; }; ** Bug fixes *** Type names are now properly escaped. *** glr.cc: set_debug_level and debug_level work as expected. *** Stray @ or $ in actions While Bison used to warn about stray $ or @ in action rules, it did not for other actions such as printers, destructors, or initial actions. It now does. ** Type names in actions For consistency with rule actions, it is now possible to qualify $$ by a type-name in destructors, printers, and initial actions. For instance: %printer { fprintf (yyo, "(%d, %f)", $<ival>$, $<fval>$); } <*> <>; will display two values for each typed and untyped symbol (provided that YYSTYPE has both "ival" and "fval" fields). _______________________________________________ GNU Announcement mailing list <info-gnu@gnu.org> https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnu
