1 ** Gnus changes since 5.8.
3 *** MML (Mime compose) prefix changed from `M-m' to `C-c C-m'.
5 This change was made to avoid conflict with the standard binding of
6 `back-to-indentation', which is also useful in message mode.
10 The Gnus NEWS entries are short, but they reflect sweeping changes in
11 four areas: Article display treatment, MIME treatment,
12 internationalization and mail-fetching.
14 *** The mail-fetching functions have changed. See the manual for the
15 many details. In particular, all procmail fetching variables are gone.
17 If you used procmail like in
19 (setq nnmail-use-procmail t)
20 (setq nnmail-spool-file 'procmail)
21 (setq nnmail-procmail-directory "~/mail/incoming/")
22 (setq nnmail-procmail-suffix "\\.in")
24 this now has changed to
27 '((directory :path "~/mail/incoming/"
30 More information is available in the info doc at Select Methods ->
31 Getting Mail -> Mail Sources
33 *** Gnus is now a MIME-capable reader. This affects many parts of
34 Gnus, and adds a slew of new commands. See the manual for details.
36 *** Gnus has also been multilingualized. This also affects too
37 many parts of Gnus to summarize here, and adds many new variables.
39 *** gnus-auto-select-first can now be a function to be
40 called to position point.
42 *** The user can now decide which extra headers should be included in
43 summary buffers and NOV files.
45 *** `gnus-article-display-hook' has been removed. Instead, a number
46 of variables starting with `gnus-treat-' have been added.
48 *** The Gnus posting styles have been redone again and now works in a
49 subtly different manner.
51 *** New web-based backends have been added: nnslashdot, nnwarchive
52 and nnultimate. nnweb has been revamped, again, to keep up with
53 ever-changing layouts.
55 *** Gnus can now read IMAP mail via nnimap.
