 Version 4.2.0 (in progress)
 ===========================
 
+2022-12-23: wsfulton
+            #1863 Fix syntax error parsing variadic template parameter pack arguments that
+            are function pointers.
+
 2022-12-22: wsfulton
             Complete support for C++11 variadic templates. Support was previously limited
             to just one template parameter. Now zero or more template parameters are supported.
