+** Gnus changes.
-Please send Gnus bug reports to bugs@gnus.org.
-For older news, see Gnus info node "New Features".
+*** The Gnus distribution no longer bundles Custom and Widget.
+If your Emacs doesn't come with these libraries, fetch them from
+<URL:http://www.dina.kvl.dk/~abraham/custom/>. You also then need to
+add the following to the lisp/dgnushack.el file:
+ (push "~/lisp/custom" load-path)
-\f
-* Changes in No Gnus
+Modify to suit your needs.
-** Upgrading from previous (stable) version if you have used No Gnus.
+*** New functionality for using Gnus as an offline newsreader has been
+added. A plethora of new commands and modes have been added. See the
+Gnus manual for the full story.
-If you have tried No Gnus (the unstable Gnus branch leading to this
-release) but went back to a stable version, be careful when upgrading
-to this version. In particular, you will probably want to remove the
-`~/News/marks' directory (perhaps selectively), so that flags are
-read from your `~/.newsrc.eld' instead of from the stale marks file,
-where this release will store flags for nntp. See a later entry for
-more information about nntp marks. Note that downgrading isn't safe
-in general.
+*** The nndraft backend has returned, but works differently than
+before. All Message buffers are now also articles in the nndraft
+group, which is created automatically.
-** The nntp back end store article marks in `~/News/marks'.
+*** `gnus-alter-header-function' can now be used to alter header
+values.
-The directory can be changed using the (customizable) variable
-`nntp-marks-directory', and marks can be disabled using the (back
-end) variable `nntp-marks-is-evil'. The advantage of this is that
-you can copy `~/News/marks' (using rsync, scp or whatever) to another
-Gnus installation, and it will realize what articles you have read
-and marked. The data in `~/News/marks' has priority over the same
-data in `~/.newsrc.eld'.
+*** `gnus-summary-goto-article' now accept Message-ID's.
-** Picons can be displayed right from the textual address, see
-`gnus-picon-style'. *Note Picons::.
+*** A new Message command for deleting text in the body of a message
+outside the region: `C-c C-v'.
-** You can import and export your RSS subscriptions from OPML files.
-*Note RSS::.
+*** You can now post to component group in nnvirtual groups with
+`C-u C-c C-c'.
-** The option `mm-fill-flowed' can be used to disable treatment of
-format=flowed messages. Also, flowed text is disabled when sending
-inline PGP signed messages.
+*** `nntp-rlogin-program' -- new variable to ease customization.
-** You can now drag and drop attachments to the Message buffer.
+*** `C-u C-c C-c' in `gnus-article-edit-mode' will now inhibit
+re-highlighting of the article buffer.
-** ANSI SGR control sequences can be transformed using `W A'.
+*** New element in `gnus-boring-article-headers' -- `long-to'.
-ANSI sequences are used in some Chinese hierarchies for highlighting
-articles (`gnus-article-treat-ansi-sequences').
+*** `M-i' symbolic prefix command. See the section "Symbolic
+Prefixes" in the Gnus manual for details.
-** International host names (IDNA) can now be decoded inside article
-bodies using `W i' (`gnus-summary-idna-message'). This require that
-GNU Libidn (`http://www.gnu.org/software/libidn/') has been installed.
+*** `L' and `I' in the summary buffer now take the symbolic prefix
+`a' to add the score rule to the "all.SCORE" file.
-** Gnus includes an Emacs Lisp SASL library.
+*** `gnus-simplify-subject-functions' variable to allow greater
+control over simplification.
-This provide a clean API to SASL mechanisms from within Emacs. The
-user visible aspects of this, compared to the earlier situation,
-include support for DIGEST-MD5 and NTLM.
+*** `A T' -- new command for fetching the current thread.
-** ManageSieve connections uses the SASL library by default.
+*** `/ T' -- new command for including the current thread in the
+limit.
-The primary change this brings is support for DIGEST-MD5 and NTLM,
-when the server support it.
+*** `M-RET' is a new Message command for breaking cited text.
-** Gnus include a password cache mechanism in password.el.
+*** \\1-expressions are now valid in `nnmail-split-methods'.
-It is enabled by default (see `password-cache'), with a short timeout
-of 16 seconds (see `password-cache-expiry'). If PGG is used as the
-PGP back end, the PGP passphrase is managed by this mechanism.
-Passwords for ManageSieve connections are managed by this mechanism,
-after quering the user about whether to do so.
+*** The `custom-face-lookup' function has been removed.
+If you used this function in your initialization files, you must
+rewrite them to use `face-spec-set' instead.
-** IMAP identity (RFC 2971) is supported.
+*** Cancelling now uses the current select method. Symbolic prefix
+`a' forces normal posting method.
-By default, Gnus do not send any information about itself, but you can
-customize it using the variable `nnimap-id'.
+*** New command to translate M******** sm*rtq**t*s into proper text
+-- `W d'.
-** The `all.SCORE' file can be edited from the group buffer using `W e'.
+*** For easier debugging of nntp, you can set `nntp-record-commands'
+to a non-nil value.
-** Gnus now MIME decode articles even when they lack "MIME-Version"
-header. This changes the default of `gnus-article-loose-mime'.
+*** nntp now uses ~/.authinfo, a .netrc-like file, for controlling
+where and how to send AUTHINFO to NNTP servers.
-** Gnus now view DNS master files sent as text/dns using dns-mode.
+*** A command for editing group parameters from the summary buffer
+has been added.
-** Gnus now support the "hashcash" client puzzle anti-spam idea. See
-the Gnus manual, section Hashcash, for more information. Use `(setq
-message-generate-hashcash t)' to enable.
+*** A history of where mails have been split is available.
-** Gnus supports new limiting commands in the Summary buffer: `/ r'
-(`gnus-summary-limit-to-replied') and `/ R'
-(`gnus-summary-limit-to-recipient'). *Note Limiting::.
+*** A new article date command has been added -- `article-date-iso8601'.
-** Gnus supports a new sort command in the Summary buffer: `C-c C-s C-t'
-(`gnus-summary-sort-by-recipient'). *Note Summary Sorting::
+*** Subjects can be simplified when threading by setting
+`gnus-score-thread-simplify'.
-** The `nnrss' back end now supports multilingual text. Non-ASCII group
-names for the `nnrss' groups are also supported. *Note RSS::.
+*** A new function for citing in Message has been added --
+`message-cite-original-without-signature'.
-** URLs inside OpenPGP: headers are retrieved and imported to your PGP
-key ring when you click on them.
+*** `article-strip-all-blank-lines' -- new article command.
-** Gnus uses narrowing to hide headers in Message buffers. The
-`References' header is hidden by default. To make all headers
-visible, use `(setq message-hidden-headers nil)'.
+*** A new Message command to kill to the end of the article has
+been added.
-** `gnus-decay-scores' can be a regexp matching score files. This
-allows to decay only adaptive score files. *Note Score Decays::.
+*** A minimum adaptive score can be specified by using the
+`gnus-adaptive-word-minimum' variable.
-** S/MIME now feature LDAP user certificate searches. You need to
-configure the server in `smime-ldap-host-list'.
+*** The "lapsed date" article header can be kept continually
+updated by the `gnus-start-date-timer' command.

+*** Web listserv archives can be read with the nnlistserv backend.
