[*] 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-2.6.5.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 1.12.4
Flex 2.5.37

NEWS
* Noteworthy changes in release 2.6.5 (2012-11-07) [stable]
We consider compiler warnings about Bison generated parsers to be bugs.
Rather than working around them in your own project, please consider
reporting them to us.
** Bug fixes
Warnings about uninitialized yylval and/or yylloc for push parsers with a
pure interface have been fixed for GCC 4.0 up to 4.8, and Clang 2.9 to
3.2.
Other issues in the test suite have been addressed.
Nul characters are correctly displayed in error messages.
When possible, yylloc is correctly initialized before calling yylex. It
is no longer necessary to initialize it in the %initial-action.
