Hi Akim, On more thing I noticed:
``` $ bison --version bison (GNU Bison) 3.2.1.139-5fb0d-dirty Written by Robert Corbett and Richard Stallman. Copyright (C) 2018 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. ``` This is after building the latest commit on master. The `5fb0d' bit correctly identifies this commit, but for the version number I was expecting to see 3.2.4 or later... --- Best, Wouter.
