Some serious, and old, bugs have been fixed.
Here are the compressed sources:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bison/bison-2.6.2.tar.gz (3.0MB)
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bison/bison-2.6.2.tar.xz (1.6MB)
Here are the GPG detached signatures[*]:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bison/bison-2.6.2.tar.gz.sig
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bison/bison-2.6.2.tar.xz.sig
Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth:

[*] 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-2.6.2.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 1.12.2
Flex 2.5.36
Gettext 0.18.1
Gnulib v0.0-7558-gbd54a45
NEWS
* Noteworthy changes in release 2.6.2 (2012-08-03) [stable]
** Bug fixes
Buffer overruns, complaints from Flex, and portability issues in the test
suite have been fixed.
** Spaces in %lex- and %parse-param (lalr1.cc, glr.cc)
Trailing end-of-lines in %parse-param or %lex-param would result in
invalid C++. This is fixed.
** Spurious spaces and end-of-lines
The generated files no longer end (nor start) with empty lines.
* Noteworthy changes in release 2.6.1 (2012-07-30) [stable]
Bison no longer executes user-specified M4 code when processing a grammar.
** Future Changes
In addition to the removal of the features announced in Bison 2.6, the
next major release will remove the "Temporary hack for adding a semicolon
to the user action", as announced in the release 2.5. Instead of:
exp: exp "+" exp { $$ = $1 + $3 };
write:
exp: exp "+" exp { $$ = $1 + $3; };
** Bug fixes
*** Type names are now properly escaped.
*** glr.cc: set_debug_level and debug_level work as expected.
*** Stray @ or $ in actions
While Bison used to warn about stray $ or @ in action rules, it did not
for other actions such as printers, destructors, or initial actions. It
now does.
** Type names in actions
For consistency with rule actions, it is now possible to qualify $$ by a
type-name in destructors, printers, and initial actions. For instance:
%printer { fprintf (yyo, "(%d, %f)", $<ival>$, $<fval>$); } <*> <>;
will display two values for each typed and untyped symbol (provided
that YYSTYPE has both "ival" and "fval" fields).
