You also then need to +add the following to the lisp/dgnushack.el file: - -* Changes in Oort Gnus + (push "~/lisp/custom" load-path) -** gnus-agent +Modify to suit your needs. -The Gnus Agent is now enabled by default. This means that, e.g., -headers are not downloaded from agentized servers by default (agentize -servers by using `J a' in the server buffer). Gnus will not start to -download articles unless you instruct it to do so, though, by using -e.g. J u or J s from the group buffer. Revert to the old behaviour -with `(setq gnus-agent nil)'. Note that putting (gnus-agentize) in -~/.gnus is not needed any more. +*** 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-summary-line-format +*** 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 default value changed to "%U%R%z%I%(%[%4L: %-23,23f%]%) %s\n". -Moreover gnus-extra-headers, nnmail-extra-headers and -gnus-ignored-from-addresses changed their default so that the users -name will be replaced by the recipient's name or the group name -posting to for NNTP groups. +*** `gnus-alter-header-function' can now be used to alter header +values. -** deuglify.el (gnus-article-outlook-deuglify-article) +*** `gnus-summary-goto-article' now accept Message-ID's. -A new file from Raymond Scholz for deuglifying -broken Outlook (Express) articles. +*** A new Message command for deleting text in the body of a message +outside the region: `C-c C-v'. -** (require 'gnus-load) +*** You can now post to component group in nnvirtual groups with +`C-u C-c C-c'. -If you use a stand-alone Gnus distribution, you'd better add (require -'gnus-load) into your ~/.emacs after adding the Gnus lisp directory -into load-path. +*** `nntp-rlogin-program' -- new variable to ease customization. -File gnus-load.el contains autoload commands, functions and variables, -some of which may not be included in distributions of Emacsen. +*** `C-u C-c C-c' in `gnus-article-edit-mode' will now inhibit +re-highlighting of the article buffer. -** gnus-slave-unplugged +*** New element in `gnus-boring-article-headers' -- `long-to'. -A new command which starts gnus offline in slave mode. +*** `M-i' symbolic prefix command. See the section "Symbolic +Prefixes" in the Gnus manual for details. -** message-insinuate-rmail +*** `L' and `I' in the summary buffer now take the symbolic prefix +`a' to add the score rule to the "all.SCORE" file. -Adding (message-insinuate-rmail) and (setq mail-user-agent -'gnus-user-agent) in .emacs convinces RMAIL to compose, reply and -forward messages in message-mode, where you can enjoy the power of -MML. +*** `gnus-simplify-subject-functions' variable to allow greater +control over simplification. -** message-minibuffer-local-map +*** `A T' -- new command for fetching the current thread. -The line below enables BBDB in resending a message: +*** `/ T' -- new command for including the current thread in the +limit. -(define-key message-minibuffer-local-map [(tab)] 'bbdb-complete-name) +*** `M-RET' is a new Message command for breaking cited text. -** Externalize attachments. +*** \\1-expressions are now valid in `nnmail-split-methods'. -If gnus-gcc-externalize-attachments (or -message-fcc-externalize-attachments) is non-nil, attach local files as -external parts. +*** 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. -Command gnus-mime-save-part-and-strip (bound to \C-o on MIME buttons) -saves a part and replaces the part with an external one. It works only -on back ends that support editing. +*** Cancelling now uses the current select method. Symbolic prefix +`a' forces normal posting method. -** gnus-default-charset +*** New command to translate M******** sm*rtq**t*s into proper text +-- `W d'. -The default value is determined from the current-language-environment -variable, instead of 'iso-8859-1. Also the ".*" item in -gnus-group-charset-alist is removed. +*** For easier debugging of nntp, you can set `nntp-record-commands' +to a non-nil value. -** gnus-posting-styles +*** nntp now uses ~/.authinfo, a .netrc-like file, for controlling +where and how to send AUTHINFO to NNTP servers. -Add a new format of match like +*** A command for editing group parameters from the summary buffer +has been added. - ((header "to" "larsi.*org") - (Organization "Somewhere, Inc.")) +*** A history of where mails have been split is available. -The old format like the lines below is obsolete. +*** A new article date command has been added -- `article-date-iso8601'. - (header "to" "larsi.*org" - (Organization "Somewhere, Inc.")) +*** Subjects can be simplified when threading by setting +`gnus-score-thread-simplify'. -** message-ignored-news-headers and message-ignored-mail-headers +*** A new function for citing in Message has been added -- +`message-cite-original-without-signature'. -X-Draft-From and X-Gnus-Agent-Meta-Information have been added into -these two variables. If you customized those, perhaps you need add -those two headers too. +*** `article-strip-all-blank-lines' -- new article command. -** Gnus reads the NOV and articles in the Agent if plugged. +*** A new Message command to kill to the end of the article has +been added. -If one reads an article while plugged, and the article already exists -in the Agent, it won't get downloaded once more. (setq -gnus-agent-cache nil) reverts to the old behavior. +*** A minimum adaptive score can be specified by using the +`gnus-adaptive-word-minimum' variable. -** Gnus supports the "format=flowed" (RFC 2646) parameter. +*** The "lapsed date" article header can be kept continually +updated by the `gnus-start-date-timer' command. -On composing messages, it is enabled by `use-hard-newlines'. Decoding -format=flowed was present but not documented in earlier versions. +*** Web listserv archives can be read with the nnlistserv backend. -** Gnus supports the generation of RFC 2298 Disposition Notification requests. +*** Old dejanews archives can now be read by nnweb. -This is invoked with the C-c M-n key binding from message mode. +*** Byte-compilation of user-specs now works under XEmacs. -** Gnus supports Maildir groups. - -Gnus includes a new backend nnmaildir.el. - -** Printing capabilities are enhanced. - -Gnus supports Muttprint natively with O P from the Summary and Article -buffers. Also, each individual MIME part can be printed using p on -the MIME button. - -** Message supports the Importance: header. - -In the message buffer, C-c C-f C-i or C-u cycles through the valid values. - -** Gnus supports Cancel Locks in News. - -This means a header "Cancel-Lock" is inserted in news posting. It is -used to determine if you wrote a article or not (for -cancelling/superseding). The behaviour can be changed by customizing -`message-insert-canlock'. - -** Gnus supports server-side mail filtering using Sieve. - -Sieve rules can be added as Group Parameters for groups, and the -complete Sieve script is generated using `D g' from the Group buffer, -and then uploaded to the server using `C-c C-l' in the generated Sieve -buffer. Search the online Gnus manual for "sieve", and see the new -Sieve manual, for more information. - -** Extended format specs. - -Format spec "%&user-date;" is added into -gnus-summary-line-format-alist. Also, user defined extended format -specs are supported. The extended format specs look like "%u&foo;", -which invokes function gnus-user-format-function-foo. Because "&" is -used as the escape character, old user defined format "%u&" is no -longer supported. - -** `/ *' (gnus-summary-limit-include-cached) is rewritten. - -It was aliased to `Y c' (gnus-summary-insert-cached-articles). The new -function filters out other articles. - -** Group names are treated as UTF-8 by default. - -This is supposedly what USEFOR wants to migrate to. See -`gnus-group-name-charset-group-alist' and -`gnus-group-name-charset-method-alist' for customization. - -** The nnml and nnfolder backends store marks for each groups. - -This makes it possible to take backup of nnml/nnfolder servers/groups -separately of .newsrc.eld, while preserving marks. It also makes it -possible to share articles and marks between users (without sharing -the .newsrc.eld file) within e.g. a department. It works by storing -the marks stored in .newsrc.eld in a per-group file ".marks" (for -nnml) and "groupname.mrk" (for nnfolder, named "groupname"). If the -nnml/nnfolder is moved to another machine, Gnus will automatically use -the .marks or .mrk file instead of the information in .newsrc.eld. -The new server variables `nnml-marks-is-evil' and -`nnfolder-marks-is-evil' can be used to disable this feature. - -** The menu bar (in Group and Summary buffer) named "Misc" has been -renamed to "Gnus". - -** The menu bar (in Message mode) named "MML" has been renamed to -"Attachments". - -** gnus-group-charset-alist and gnus-group-ignored-charsets-alist. - -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: - - ("^han\\>" euc-kr) -> ("\\(^\\|:\\)han\\>" euc-kr) - -** Gnus supports PGP (RFC 1991/2440), PGP/MIME (RFC 2015/3156) and -S/MIME (RFC 2630-2633). - -** Gnus inlines external parts (message/external). - -** MML (Mime compose) prefix changed from `M-m' to `C-c C-m'. - -This change was made to avoid conflict with the standard binding of -`back-to-indentation', which is also useful in message mode. - - -* Changes in Pterodactyl Gnus (5.8/5.9) - -The Gnus NEWS entries are short, but they reflect sweeping changes in -four areas: Article display treatment, MIME treatment, -internationalization and mail-fetching. - -** The mail-fetching functions have changed. See the manual for the -many details. In particular, all procmail fetching variables are gone. - -If you used procmail like in - -(setq nnmail-use-procmail t) -(setq nnmail-spool-file 'procmail) -(setq nnmail-procmail-directory "~/mail/incoming/") -(setq nnmail-procmail-suffix "\\.in") - -this now has changed to - -(setq mail-sources - '((directory :path "~/mail/incoming/" - :suffix ".in"))) - -More information is available in the info doc at Select Methods -> -Getting Mail -> Mail Sources - -** 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. - -** Gnus has also been multilingualized. This also affects too -many parts of Gnus to summarize here, and adds many new variables. - -** gnus-auto-select-first can now be a function to be -called to position point. - -** The user can now decide which extra headers should be included in -summary buffers and NOV files. - -** `gnus-article-display-hook' has been removed. Instead, a number -of variables starting with `gnus-treat-' have been added. - -** The Gnus posting styles have been redone again and now works in a -subtly different manner. - -** New web-based backends have been added: nnslashdot, nnwarchive -and nnultimate. nnweb has been revamped, again, to keep up with -ever-changing layouts. - -** Gnus can now read IMAP mail via nnimap. - - -* For older news, see Gnus info node "New Features". - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -Copyright information: - -Copyright (C) 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc. - - Permission is granted to anyone to make or distribute verbatim copies - of this document as received, in any medium, provided that the - copyright notice and this permission notice are preserved, - thus giving the recipient permission to redistribute in turn. - - Permission is granted to distribute modified versions - of this document, or of portions of it, - under the above conditions, provided also that they - carry prominent notices stating who last changed them. - -Local variables: -mode: outline -paragraph-separate: "[ ]*$" -end: +*** `gnus-posting-styles' has been re-activated.
