+@item Upgrading from previous (stable) version if you have used No Gnus.
+
+If you have tried No Gnus (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 the
+@file{~/News/marks} directory (perhaps selectively), so that flags are
+read from your @file{~/.newsrc.eld} instead of from the stale marks
+file, where this release will store flags for nntp. See a later entry
+for more information about nntp marks. Note that downgrading isn't
+safe in general.
+
+@item The nntp back end store article marks in @file{~/News/marks}.
+
+The directory can be changed using the (customizable) variable
+@code{nntp-marks-directory}, and marks can be disabled using the
+(back end) variable @code{nntp-marks-is-evil}. The advantage of this
+is that you can copy @file{~/News/marks} (using rsync, scp or
+whatever) to another Gnus installation, and it will realize what
+articles you have read and marked. The data in @file{~/News/marks}
+has priority over the same data in @file{~/.newsrc.eld}.
+
+@item
+Picons can be displayed right from the textual address, see
+@code{gnus-picon-style}. @ref{Picons}.

@item
You can import and export your @acronym{RSS} subscriptions from
@acronym{OPML} files. @xref{RSS}.
-@item
+@item
The option @code{mm-fill-flowed} can be used to disable treatment of
format=flowed messages. Also, flowed text is disabled when sending
inline @acronym{PGP} signed messages.
@item You can now drag and drop attachments to the Message buffer.
-@item @kbd{/ r} limits the summary buffer to replied articles.
-
@item @acronym{ANSI} @acronym{SGR} control sequences can be transformed
using @kbd{W A}.
@acronym{ANSI} sequences are used in some Chinese hierarchies for
highlighting articles (@code{gnus-article-treat-ansi-sequences}).
+@item International host names (@acronym{IDNA}) can now be decoded
+inside article bodies using @kbd{W i}
+(@code{gnus-summary-idna-message}). This require that GNU Libidn
+(@url{http://www.gnu.org/software/libidn/}) has been installed.
+
@item Gnus includes an Emacs Lisp @acronym{SASL} library.
This provide a clean @acronym{API} to @acronym{SASL} mechanisms from
It is enabled by default (see @code{password-cache}), with a short
timeout of 16 seconds (see @code{password-cache-expiry}). If
-@acronym{PGG} is used as the @acronym{PGP} backend, the @acronym{PGP}
+@acronym{PGG} is used as the @acronym{PGP} back end, the @acronym{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.
@item @acronym{IMAP} identity (@acronym{RFC} 2971) is supported.
By default, Gnus do not send any information about itself, but you can
-customize it using @code{nnimap-id}.
+customize it using the variable @code{nnimap-id}.
-@item The @file{all.SCORE} file can now be edited from the group buffer
+@item The @file{all.SCORE} file can be edited from the group buffer
using @kbd{W e}.
-@end itemize
+@item Gnus now MIME decode articles even when they lack "MIME-Version" header.
+This changes the default of @code{gnus-article-loose-mime}.
+
+@item Gnus now view DNS master files sent as text/dns using dns-mode.
+@item Gnus now support the ``hashcash'' client puzzle anti-spam idea.
+See the Gnus manual, section Hashcash, for more information. Use
+@code{(setq message-generate-hashcash t)} to enable.
+
+@item Gnus supports new limiting commands in the Summary buffer:
+@kbd{/ r} (@code{gnus-summary-limit-to-replied}) and @kbd{/ R}
+(@code{gnus-summary-limit-to-recipient}). @ref{Limiting}.
+
+@item Gnus supports a new sort command in the Summary buffer:
+@kbd{C-c C-s C-t} (@code{gnus-summary-sort-by-recipient}). @ref{Summary
+Sorting}
+
+@item The @code{nnrss} back end now supports multilingual text.
+Non-@acronym{ASCII} group names for the @code{nnrss} groups are also
+supported. @xref{RSS}.
+
+@item URLs inside OpenPGP: headers are retrieved and imported to your
+PGP key ring when you click on them.
+
+@item Gnus uses narrowing to hide headers in Message buffers.
+The @code{References} header is hidden by default. To make all
+headers visible, use @code{(setq message-hidden-headers nil)}.
+
+@item @code{gnus-decay-scores} can be a regexp matching score files.
+This allows to decay only adaptive score files. @ref{Score Decays}.
+
+@item @acronym{S/MIME} now feature @acronym{LDAP} user certificate searches.
+You need to configure the server in @code{smime-ldap-host-list}.
