-* flex version 2.5.39
+* version 2.6.0 released 2015-11-17
+
+** User Visible Changes
+
+*** C++ scanners now use references instead of pointers. See the manual for details.
+
+*** A number of compiler warnings were addressed, so flex generated scanners should be quieter under compiler warning scenarios.
+
+*** Allow error reporting routines to accept varying number of arguments
+
+*** Removed deprecated 'register' storage class specifier
+
+*** Changeed output formats from octal to hexadecimal
+
+*** check limits before using array index cclp; resolves sf-166
+
+*** Suppress clang warning about empty @param paragraph; resolves sf#158
+
+*** Fixed malloc/realloc replacement, resolves sf bug#151.
+
+*** Adjusted buffer sizes on ia64.
+
+*** various documentation and code clean up fixes: resolves sf bugs #167, #168, among other patches.
+
+** Flex Internals
+
+*** flex is now organized into subdirectories. This keeps the tree neater at the top level and puts like things near each other and unlike things away from each other.
+
+*** The test suite has been reorganized and is now run with the parallel test suite harness from automake.
+
+*** Cleaned up the automake parts of the build system to better reflect what automake does on its own. Also added a call to libtoolize in autogen.sh because autoreconf gets confused without a prior run of libtoolize.
+
+*** po/Makefile now includes a rule to fetch the latest translations from the translation project. "make -f po/Makefile getpo" from the top level of the flex tree will fetch the files.
+
+*** New da translation from the translation project
+
+* flex version 2.5.39 released 2014-03-26
