*** A skeleton for the D programming language
Since a few releases, Bison ships with a stealth experimental skeleton:
lalr1.d. It was first contributed by Oliver Mangold, based on Paolo
Bonzini's lalr1.java, and was cleaned and improved thanks to H. S. Teoh.
For the last few releases, Bison has shipped a stealth experimental
skeleton: lalr1.d. It was first contributed by Oliver Mangold, based on
Paolo Bonzini's lalr1.java, and was cleaned and improved thanks to
H. S. Teoh.
However, for lack of a genuine maintainer, committed to supporting this
skeleton (improving, testsing, documenting, etc.), this feature might be
DOA.
However, because nobody has committed to improving, testing, and
documenting this skeleton, it is not clear that it will be supported in
the future.
The lalr1.d skeleton *is functional*, and works well, as demonstrated in
examples/d/calc.d. Please try it, enjoy it, and... commit to support it.

*** Crashes when reporting verbose error messages
When using %nonassoc, in some situations extremely difficult to reach on
purpose (so virtually impossible by accident---no bug report was ever made
about it), the generated parsers could crash. This is fixed.
In theory, parsers using %nonassoc could crash. This unlikely bug has been
fixed.
