3 The Gnus NEWS entries are short, but they reflect sweeping changes in
4 four areas: Article display treatment, MIME treatment,
5 internationalization and mail-fetching.
7 *** The mail-fetching functions have changed. See the manual for the
8 many details. In particular, all procmail fetching variables are gone.
10 If you used procmail like in
12 (setq nnmail-use-procmail t)
13 (setq nnmail-spool-file 'procmail)
14 (setq nnmail-procmail-directory "~/mail/incoming/")
15 (setq nnmail-procmail-suffix "\\.in")
17 this now has changed to
20 '((directory :path "~/mail/incoming/"
23 More information is available in the info doc at Select Methods ->
24 Getting Mail -> Mail Sources
26 *** Gnus is now a MIME-capable reader. This affects many parts of
27 Gnus, and adds a slew of new commands. See the manual for details.
29 *** Gnus has also been multilingualized. This also affects too
30 many parts of Gnus to summarize here, and adds many new variables.
32 *** gnus-auto-select-first can now be a function to be
33 called to position point.
35 *** The user can now decide which extra headers should be included in
36 summary buffers and NOV files.
38 *** `gnus-article-display-hook' has been removed. Instead, a number
39 of variables starting with `gnus-treat-' have been added.
41 *** The Gnus posting styles have been redone again and now works in a
42 subtly different manner.
44 *** New web-based backends have been added: nnslashdot, nnwarchive
45 and nnultimate. nnweb has been revamped, again, to keep up with
46 ever-changing layouts.
48 *** Gnus can now read IMAP mail via nnimap.
