 ** Gnus changes.
 
+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.
