About:
Bison is a parser generator in the style of yacc(1). It should be upwardly compatible with input files designed for yacc.

Release focus: Major bugfixes

Changes:
Many limitations on parser size have been removed. A GLR parser output is available, which makes it possible to parse any context free grammar, included ambiguous grammars. This typically allows one to parse "naturally'' contrived grammars such as C++'s. The machinery has been revamped to ease the creation of new kinds of parsers.
