-The Gnus NEWS entries are short, but they reflect sweeping changes in
-four areas: Article display treatment, MIME treatment,
-internationalization and mail-fetching.
+Please send Gnus bug reports to bugs@gnus.org.
+For older news, see Gnus info node "New Features".
 
-*** The mail-fetching functions have changed.  See the manual for the
-many details.  In particular, all procmail fetching variables are gone.
+
+* Changes in No Gnus
 
-*** 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 includes an Emacs Lisp SASL library.
 
-*** Gnus has also been multilingualized.  This also affects too
-many parts of Gnus to summarize here, and adds many new variables.
+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.
 
-*** gnus-auto-select-first can now be a function to be
-called to position point.
+** ManageSieve connections uses the SASL library by default.
 
-*** The user can now decide which extra headers should be included in
-summary buffers and NOV files.
+The primary change this brings is support for DIGEST-MD5 and NTLM,
+when the server support it.
 
-*** `gnus-article-display-hook' has been removed.  Instead, a number
-of variables starting with `gnus-treat-' have been added.
+** Gnus include a password cache mechanism in password.el.
 
-*** The Gnus posting styles have been redone again and now works in a
-subtly different manner.
+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 backend, 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.
 
-*** New web-based backends have been added: nnslashdot, nnwarchive
-and nnultimate.  nnweb has been revamped, again, to keep up with
-ever-changing layouts.
+** IMAP identity (RFC 2971) is supported.
 
-*** Gnus can now read IMAP mail via nnimap.
+By default, Gnus do not send any information about itself, but you can
+customize it using `nnimap-id'.
 
+** The "all.SCORE" file can now be edited from the group buffer using `W e'.
