You also then need to -add the following to the lisp/dgnushack.el file: +Please send Gnus bug reports to bugs@gnus.org. +For older news, see Gnus info node "New Features". - (push "~/lisp/custom" load-path) + +* Changes in Oort Gnus -Modify to suit your needs. +** Message supports the Importance: header. -*** 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. +In the message buffer, C-c C-p cycles through the valid values. -*** 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. +** Gnus supports Cancel Locks in News. -*** `gnus-alter-header-function' can now be used to alter header -values. +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-summary-goto-article' now accept Message-ID's. +** Gnus supports server-side mail filtering using Sieve. -*** A new Message command for deleting text in the body of a message -outside the region: `C-c C-v'. +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. -*** You can now post to component group in nnvirtual groups with -`C-u C-c C-c'. +** Extended format specs. -*** `nntp-rlogin-program' -- new variable to ease customization. +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. -*** `C-u C-c C-c' in `gnus-article-edit-mode' will now inhibit -re-highlighting of the article buffer. +** `/ *' (gnus-summary-limit-include-cached) is rewritten. -*** New element in `gnus-boring-article-headers' -- `long-to'. +It was aliased to `Y c' (gnus-summary-insert-cached-articles). The new +function filters out other articles. -*** `M-i' symbolic prefix command. See the section "Symbolic -Prefixes" in the Gnus manual for details. +** Group names are treated as UTF-8 by default. -*** `L' and `I' in the summary buffer now take the symbolic prefix -`a' to add the score rule to the "all.SCORE" file. +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. -*** `gnus-simplify-subject-functions' variable to allow greater -control over simplification. +** The nnml and nnfolder backends store marks for each groups. -*** `A T' -- new command for fetching the current thread. +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. -*** `/ T' -- new command for including the current thread in the -limit. +** The menu bar (in Group and Summary buffer) named "Misc" has been +renamed to "Gnus". -*** `M-RET' is a new Message command for breaking cited text. +** 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 +SMIME. + +** 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 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:
