** 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 Gnus distribution no longer bundles Custom and Widget.
+If your Emacs doesn't come with these libraries, fetch them from
+<URL:http://www.dina.kvl.dk/~abraham/custom/>. You also then need to
+add the following to the lisp/dgnushack.el file:
-*** The mail-fetching functions have changed. See the manual for the
-many details. In particular, all procmail fetching variables are gone.

+values.

-Getting Mail -> Mail Sources
+*** `gnus-summary-goto-article' now accept Message-ID's.
-*** 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.
+*** A new Message command for deleting text in the body of a message
+outside the region: `C-c C-v'.

-many parts of Gnus to summarize here, and adds many new variables.

-summary buffers and NOV files.
+*** `C-u C-c C-c' in `gnus-article-edit-mode' will now inhibit
+re-highlighting of the article buffer.

-of variables starting with `gnus-treat-' have been added.

+*** `gnus-simplify-subject-functions' variable to allow greater
+control over simplification.

+limit.
+
+*** `M-RET' is a new Message command for breaking cited text.
+
+*** \\1-expressions are now valid in `nnmail-split-methods'.
+
+*** The `custom-face-lookup' function has been removed.
+If you used this function in your initialization files, you must
