-*** 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:
+Please send Gnus bug reports to bugs@gnus.org.

+* Changes in Oort Gnus
-Modify to suit your needs.
+** Menu bar: "Misc" -> "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.
+** gnus-group-charset-alist and gnus-group-ignored-charsets-alist
-*** 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 regexps in these variables are compared with full group names
+instead of real group names in 5.8. Users who customize these
+variables should change those regexps accordingly. For example:
-*** `gnus-alter-header-function' can now be used to alter header
-values.
+ ("^han\\>" euc-kr) -> ("\\(^\\|:\\)han\\>" euc-kr)
-*** `gnus-summary-goto-article' now accept Message-ID's.
+** Gnus now supports PGP-MIME (RFC2015) and SMIME.
-*** A new Message command for deleting text in the body of a message
-outside the region: `C-c C-v'.
+** Gnus inlines external parts (message/external).
-*** You can now post to component group in nnvirtual groups with
-`C-u C-c C-c'.
+** MML (Mime compose) prefix changed from `M-m' to `C-c C-m'.
-*** `nntp-rlogin-program' -- new variable to ease customization.
+This change was made to avoid conflict with the standard binding of
+`back-to-indentation', which is also useful in message mode.
-*** `C-u C-c C-c' in `gnus-article-edit-mode' will now inhibit
-re-highlighting of the article buffer.
+\f
+* Changes in Pterodactyl Gnus (5.8/5.9)
-*** New element in `gnus-boring-article-headers' -- `long-to'.
+The Gnus NEWS entries are short, but they reflect sweeping changes in
+four areas: Article display treatment, MIME treatment,
+internationalization and mail-fetching.
-*** `M-i' symbolic prefix command. See the section "Symbolic
-Prefixes" in the Gnus manual for details.
+** The mail-fetching functions have changed. See the manual for the
+many details. In particular, all procmail fetching variables are gone.
-*** `L' and `I' in the summary buffer now take the symbolic prefix
-`a' to add the score rule to the "all.SCORE" file.
+If you used procmail like in
-*** `gnus-simplify-subject-functions' variable to allow greater
-control over simplification.
+(setq nnmail-use-procmail t)
+(setq nnmail-spool-file 'procmail)
+(setq nnmail-procmail-directory "~/mail/incoming/")
+(setq nnmail-procmail-suffix "\\.in")
-*** `A T' -- new command for fetching the current thread.
+this now has changed to
-*** `/ T' -- new command for including the current thread in the
-limit.
+(setq mail-sources
+ '((directory :path "~/mail/incoming/"
+ :suffix ".in")))
-*** `M-RET' is a new Message command for breaking cited text.
+More information is available in the info doc at Select Methods ->
+Getting Mail -> Mail Sources
-*** \\1-expressions are now valid in `nnmail-split-methods'.
+** Gnus is now a MIME-capable reader. This affects many parts of
+Gnus, and adds a slew of new commands. See the manual for details.
-*** 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.
+** Gnus has also been multilingualized. This also affects too
+many parts of Gnus to summarize here, and adds many new variables.
-*** Cancelling now uses the current select method. Symbolic prefix
-`a' forces normal posting method.
+** gnus-auto-select-first can now be a function to be
+called to position point.
-*** New command to translate M******** sm*rtq**t*s into proper text
--- `W d'.
+** The user can now decide which extra headers should be included in
+summary buffers and NOV files.
-*** For easier debugging of nntp, you can set `nntp-record-commands'
-to a non-nil value.
+** `gnus-article-display-hook' has been removed. Instead, a number
+of variables starting with `gnus-treat-' have been added.
-*** nntp now uses ~/.authinfo, a .netrc-like file, for controlling
-where and how to send AUTHINFO to NNTP servers.
+** The Gnus posting styles have been redone again and now works in a
+subtly different manner.
-*** A command for editing group parameters from the summary buffer
-has been added.
+** New web-based backends have been added: nnslashdot, nnwarchive
+and nnultimate. nnweb has been revamped, again, to keep up with
+ever-changing layouts.
-*** A history of where mails have been split is available.
+** Gnus can now read IMAP mail via nnimap.
-*** A new article date command has been added -- `article-date-iso8601'.
+\f
+* For older news, see Gnus info node "New Features".
-*** Subjects can be simplified when threading by setting
-`gnus-score-thread-simplify'.
