* Changes in Oort Gnus
+** The revised Gnus FAQ is included in the manual.
+See the info node "Frequently Asked Questions".
+
+** Upgrading from previous (stable) version if you have used Oort.
+
+If you have tried Oort (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 all
+.marks (nnml) and .mrk (nnfolder) files, so that flags are read from
+your ~/.newsrc.eld instead of from the .marks/.mrk file where this
+release store flags. See a later entry for more information about
+marks. Note that downgrading isn't save in general.
+
+** Article Buttons
+
+More buttons for URLs, mail addresses, Message-IDs, Info links, man pages and
+Emacs or Gnus related references, see the info node "Article Buttons". The
+variables `gnus-button-*-level' can be used to control the appearance of all
+article buttons, see the info node "Article Button Levels".
+
+** Dired integration
+`gnus-dired-minor-mode' installs key bindings in dired buffers to send
+a file as an attachment (`C-c C-a'), open a file using the approriate
+mailcap entry (`C-c C-l'), and print a file using the mailcap entry
+(`C-c P'). It is enabled with
+
+ (add-hook 'dired-mode-hook 'turn-on-gnus-dired-mode)
+
+** Gnus can display RSS newsfeeds as a newsgroup. To get started do `B
+nnrss RET RET' in the Group buffer.
+
+** Single-part yenc encoded attachments can be decoded.
+
+** Picons
+The picons code has been reimplemented to work in GNU Emacs -- some of
+the previous options have been removed or renamed.
+
+Picons are small "personal icons" representing users, domain and
+newsgroups, which can be displayed in the Article buffer. To enable
+picons, install the picons database from
+
+ http://www.cs.indiana.edu/picons/ftp/index.html
+
+and point `gnus-picon-databases' to that location.
+
+** If the new option `gnus-treat-body-boundary' is `head', a boundary
+line is drawn at the end of the headers.
+
+** Retrieval of charters and control messages
+There are new commands for fetching newsgroup charters (`H c') and
+control messages (`H C').
+
+** Delayed articles
+You can delay the sending of a message with `C-c C-j' in the Message
+buffer. The messages are delivered at specified time. This is useful
+for sending yourself reminders. Setup with (gnus-delay-initialize).
+
+** If `auto-compression-mode' is enabled, attachments are automatically
+decompressed when activated.
+
+** If the new option `nnml-use-compressed-files' is non-nil,
+the nnml back end allows compressed message files.
+
+** Signed article headers (X-PGP-Sig) can be verified with `W p'.
+
+** The Summary Buffer uses an arrow in the fringe to indicate the current
+article. Use (setq gnus-summary-display-arrow nil) to disable it.
+
+** Warn about email replies to news
+Do you often find yourself replying to news by email by mistake? Then
+the new option `gnus-confirm-mail-reply-to-news' is just the thing for
+you.
+
+** If the new option `gnus-summary-display-while-building' is non-nil,
+the summary buffer is shown and updated as it's being built.
+
+** The new `recent' mark "." indicates newly arrived messages (as
+opposed to old but unread messages).
+
+** The new option `gnus-gcc-mark-as-read' automatically marks
+Gcc articles as read.
+
+** The nndoc back end now supports mailman digests and exim bounces.
+
+** Gnus supports RFC 2369 mailing list headers, and adds a number of
+related commands in mailing list groups.
+
+** The Date header can be displayed in a format that can be read aloud
+in English, see `gnus-treat-date-english'.
+
+** The envelope sender address can be customized when using Sendmail, see
+`message-sendmail-envelope-from'.
+
+** diffs are automatically highlighted in groups matching
+`mm-uu-diff-groups-regexp'
+
** TLS wrapper shipped with Gnus
TLS/SSL is now supported in IMAP and NNTP via tls.el and GNUTLS. The

** References and X-Draft-Headers are no longer generated when you
- start composing messages.
+ start composing messages and `message-generate-headers-first' is nil.
** Improved anti-spam features.
** message-insinuate-rmail
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.

-** Externalize attachments.
+** Externalizing and deleting of attachments.
If gnus-gcc-externalize-attachments (or
message-fcc-externalize-attachments) is non-nil, attach local files as
external parts.
-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.
+The 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.
+gnus-mime-delete-part (bound to `d' on MIME buttons) removes a part.
+It works only on back ends that support editing.
** gnus-default-charset
** Message supports the Importance: (RFC 2156) header.
-In the message buffer, C-c C-f C-i or C-u cycles through the valid values.
+In the message buffer, `C-c C-f C-i' or `C-c C-u' cycles through the
+valid values.
** Gnus supports Cancel Locks in News.
It was aliased to `Y c' (gnus-summary-insert-cached-articles). The new
function filters out other articles.
+** Some limiting commands accept a C-u prefix to negate the match.
+
+If C-u is used on subject, author or extra headers, i.e., `/ s', `/
+a', and `/ x' (gnus-summary-limit-to-{subject,author,extra})
+respectively, the result will be to display all articles that do not
+match the expression.

** Group names are treated as UTF-8 by default.
This is supposedly what USEFOR wanted to migrate to. See
