-
-@itemize @bullet
-
-@item Supported Emacs versions
-The following Emacs versions are supported by No Gnus:
-@itemize @bullet
-
-@item Emacs 22 and up
-@item XEmacs 21.4
-@item XEmacs 21.5
-@item SXEmacs
-
-@end itemize
-
-@item Installation changes
-
-@itemize @bullet
-@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 Incompatibility when switching from Emacs 23 to Emacs 22
-In Emacs 23, Gnus uses Emacs's new internal coding system @code{utf-8-emacs}
-for saving articles drafts and @file{~/.newsrc.eld}. These files may not
-be read correctly in Emacs 22 and below. If you want to use Gnus across
-different Emacs versions, you may set @code{mm-auto-save-coding-system}
-to @code{emacs-mule}.
-@c FIXME: Untested. (Or did anyone test it?)
-@c Cf. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.general/66251/focus=66344
-
-@item Lisp files are now installed in @file{.../site-lisp/gnus/} by default.
-It defaulted to @file{.../site-lisp/} formerly. In addition to this,
-the new installer issues a warning if other Gnus installations which
-will shadow the latest one are detected. You can then remove those
-shadows manually or remove them using @code{make
-remove-installed-shadows}.
-
-@item The installation directory's name is allowed to have spaces and/or tabs.
-@end itemize
-
-@item New packages and libraries within Gnus
-
-@itemize @bullet
-
-@item New version of @code{nnimap}
-
-@code{nnimap} has been reimplemented in a mostly-compatible way. See
-the Gnus manual for a description of the new interface. In
-particular, @code{nnimap-inbox} and the client side split method has
-changed.
-
-@item Gnus includes the Emacs Lisp @acronym{SASL} library.
-
-This provides a clean @acronym{API} to @acronym{SASL} mechanisms from
-within Emacs. The user visible aspects of this, compared to the earlier
-situation, include support for @acronym{DIGEST}-@acronym{MD5} and
-@acronym{NTLM}. @xref{Top, ,Emacs SASL, sasl, Emacs SASL}.
-
-@item ManageSieve connections uses the @acronym{SASL} library by default.
-
-The primary change this brings is support for @acronym{DIGEST-MD5} and
-@acronym{NTLM}, when the server supports it.
-
-@item Gnus includes a password cache mechanism in password.el.
-
-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} back end, the @acronym{PGP}
-passphrase is managed by this mechanism. Passwords for ManageSieve
-connections are managed by this mechanism, after querying the user
-about whether to do so.
-
-@item Using EasyPG with Gnus
-When EasyPG, is available, Gnus will use it instead of @acronym{PGG}.
-EasyPG is an Emacs user interface to GNU Privacy Guard. @xref{Top,
-,EasyPG Assistant user's manual, epa, EasyPG Assistant user's manual}.
-EasyPG is included in Emacs 23 and available separately as well.

-@item Changes in group mode
-@c ************************
-
-@itemize @bullet
-
-@item
-Symbols like @code{gcc-self} now have the same precedence rules in
-@code{gnus-parameters} as other ``real'' variables: The last match
-wins instead of the first match.
-
-@item
-Old intermediate incoming mail files (@file{Incoming*}) are deleted
-after a couple of days, not immediately. @xref{Mail Source
-Customization}.
-(New in Gnus 5.10.10 / No Gnus 0.8)
-@c This entry is also present in the node "Oort Gnus".
-
-@end itemize
-
-@item Changes in summary and article mode
-
-@itemize @bullet
-
-@item There's now only one variable that determines how @acronym{HTML}
-is rendered: @code{mm-text-html-renderer}.
-
-@item Gnus now supports sticky article buffers. Those are article buffers
-that are not reused when you select another article. @xref{Sticky
-Articles}.
-
-@c @item Bookmarks
-@c FIXME: To be added
-
-@item Gnus can selectively display @samp{text/html} articles
-with a WWW browser with @kbd{K H}. @xref{MIME Commands}.
-
-@c gnus-registry-marks
-@c FIXME: To be added
-
-@item International host names (@acronym{IDNA}) can now be decoded
-inside article bodies using @kbd{W i}
-(@code{gnus-summary-idna-message}). This requires that GNU Libidn
-(@url{https://www.gnu.org/software/libidn/}) has been installed.
-@c FIXME: Also mention @code{message-use-idna}?
-
-@item The non-@acronym{ASCII} group names handling has been much
-improved. The back ends that fully support non-@acronym{ASCII} group
-names are now @code{nntp}, @code{nnml}, and @code{nnrss}. Also the
-agent, the cache, and the marks features work with those back ends.
-@xref{Non-ASCII Group Names}.
-
-@item Gnus now displays @acronym{DNS} master files sent as text/dns
-using dns-mode.
-
-@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}). @xref{Limiting}.
-
-@item You can now fetch all ticked articles from the server using
-@kbd{Y t} (@code{gnus-summary-insert-ticked-articles}). @xref{Summary
-Generation Commands}.
-
-@item Gnus supports a new sort command in the Summary buffer:
-@kbd{C-c C-s C-t} (@code{gnus-summary-sort-by-recipient}). @xref{Summary
-Sorting}.
-
-@item @acronym{S/MIME} now features @acronym{LDAP} user certificate searches.
-You need to configure the server in @code{smime-ldap-host-list}.
-
-@item URLs inside Open@acronym{PGP} headers are retrieved and imported
-to your PGP key ring when you click on them.
-
-@item
-Picons can be displayed right from the textual address, see
-@code{gnus-picon-style}. @xref{Picons}.
-
-@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 Gnus now MIME decodes articles even when they lack "MIME-Version" header.
-This changes the default of @code{gnus-article-loose-mime}.
-
-@item @code{gnus-decay-scores} can be a regexp matching score files.
-For example, set it to @samp{\\.ADAPT\\'} and only adaptive score files
-will be decayed. @xref{Score Decays}.
-
-@item Strings prefixing to the @code{To} and @code{Newsgroup} headers in
-summary lines when using @code{gnus-ignored-from-addresses} can be
-customized with @code{gnus-summary-to-prefix} and
-@code{gnus-summary-newsgroup-prefix}. @xref{To From Newsgroups}.
-
-@item You can replace @acronym{MIME} parts with external bodies.
-See @code{gnus-mime-replace-part} and @code{gnus-article-replace-part}.
-@xref{MIME Commands}, @ref{Using MIME}.
-
-@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. @xref{Flowed text, ,Flowed text,
-emacs-mime, The Emacs MIME Manual}. (New in Gnus 5.10.7)
-@c This entry is also present in the node "Oort Gnus".
-
-@item Now the new command @kbd{S W}
-(@code{gnus-article-wide-reply-with-original}) for a wide reply in the
-article buffer yanks a text that is in the active region, if it is set,
-as well as the @kbd{R} (@code{gnus-article-reply-with-original}) command.
-Note that the @kbd{R} command in the article buffer no longer accepts a
-prefix argument, which was used to make it do a wide reply.
-@xref{Article Keymap}.
-
-@item The new command @kbd{C-h b}
-(@code{gnus-article-describe-bindings}) used in the article buffer now
-shows not only the article commands but also the real summary commands
-that are accessible from the article buffer.
-
-@end itemize
-
-@item Changes in Message mode
-
-@itemize @bullet
-@item Gnus now defaults to saving all outgoing messages in per-month
-nnfolder archives.
-
-@item Gnus now supports the ``hashcash'' client puzzle anti-spam mechanism.
-Use @code{(setq message-generate-hashcash t)} to enable.
-@xref{Hashcash}.
-
-@item You can now drag and drop attachments to the Message buffer.
-See @code{mml-dnd-protocol-alist} and @code{mml-dnd-attach-options}.
-@xref{MIME, ,MIME, message, Message Manual}.
-
-@item The option @code{message-yank-empty-prefix} now controls how
-empty lines are prefixed in cited text. @xref{Insertion Variables,
-,Insertion Variables, message, Message Manual}.
-
-@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)}.
-@xref{Message Headers, ,Message Headers, message, Message Manual}.
-
-@item You can highlight different levels of citations like in the
-article buffer. See @code{gnus-message-highlight-citation}.
-
-@item @code{auto-fill-mode} is enabled by default in Message mode.
-See @code{message-fill-column}. @xref{Various Message Variables, ,
-Message Headers, message, Message Manual}.
-
-@item You can now store signature files in a special directory
-named @code{message-signature-directory}.
-
-@item The option @code{message-citation-line-format} controls the format
-of the "Whomever writes:" line. You need to set
-@code{message-citation-line-function} to
-@code{message-insert-formatted-citation-line} as well.
-@end itemize
-
-@item Changes in Browse Server mode
-
-@itemize @bullet
-@item Gnus' sophisticated subscription methods are now available in
-Browse Server buffers as well using the variable
-@code{gnus-browse-subscribe-newsgroup-method}.
-
-@end itemize
-
-
-@item Changes in back ends
-
-@itemize @bullet
-@item The nntp back end stores 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
-You can import and export your @acronym{RSS} subscriptions from
-@acronym{OPML} files. @xref{RSS}.
-
-@item @acronym{IMAP} identity (@acronym{RFC} 2971) is supported.
-
-By default, Gnus does not send any information about itself, but you can
-customize it using the variable @code{nnimap-id}.
-
-@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 Retrieving mail with @acronym{POP3} is supported over @acronym{SSL}/@acronym{TLS} and with StartTLS.
-
-@item The nnml back end allows other compression programs beside @file{gzip}
-for compressed message files. @xref{Mail Spool}.
-
-@item The nnml back end supports group compaction.
-
-This feature, accessible via the functions
-@code{gnus-group-compact-group} (@kbd{G z} in the group buffer) and
-@code{gnus-server-compact-server} (@kbd{z} in the server buffer)
-renumbers all articles in a group, starting from 1 and removing gaps.
-As a consequence, you get a correct total article count (until
-messages are deleted again).

-@item Appearance
-@c Maybe it's not worth to separate this from "Miscellaneous"?
-
-@itemize @bullet
-
-@item The tool bar has been updated to use GNOME icons.
-You can also customize the tool bars: @kbd{M-x customize-apropos @key{RET}
--tool-bar$} should get you started. (Only for Emacs, not in XEmacs.)
-@c FIXME: Document this in the manual
-
-@item The tool bar icons are now (de)activated correctly
-in the group buffer, see the variable @code{gnus-group-update-tool-bar}.
-Its default value depends on your Emacs version.
-@c FIXME: Document this in the manual
-
-@item You can change the location of XEmacs's toolbars in Gnus buffers.
-See @code{gnus-use-toolbar} and @code{message-use-toolbar}.
-
-@end itemize
-
-@item Miscellaneous changes
-
-@itemize @bullet
-@item Having edited the select-method for the foreign server in the
-server buffer is immediately reflected to the subscription of the groups
-which use the server in question. For instance, if you change
-@code{nntp-via-address} into @samp{bar.example.com} from
-@samp{foo.example.com}, Gnus will connect to the news host by way of the
-intermediate host @samp{bar.example.com} from next time.
-
-@item The @file{all.SCORE} file can be edited from the group buffer
-using @kbd{W e}.
-
-@item You can set @code{gnus-mark-copied-or-moved-articles-as-expirable}
-to a non-@code{nil} value so that articles that have been read may be
-marked as expirable automatically when copying or moving them to a group
-that has auto-expire turned on. The default is @code{nil} and copying
-and moving of articles behave as before; i.e., the expirable marks will
-be unchanged except that the marks will be removed when copying or
-moving articles to a group that has not turned auto-expire on.
-@xref{Expiring Mail}.
-
-@item NoCeM support has been removed.
-
-@item Carpal mode has been removed.
