15 This file contains a list of news features Gnus. It is supposed to be
16 included in `gnus.texi'. `GNUS-NEWS' is automatically generated from
17 this file (see `gnus-news.el').
21 @item @acronym{ANSI} @acronym{SGR} control sequences can be transformed
24 @acronym{ANSI} sequences are used in some Chinese hierarchies for
25 highlighting articles (@code{gnus-article-treat-ansi-sequences}).
27 @item Gnus includes an Emacs Lisp @acronym{SASL} library.
29 This provide a clean @acronym{API} to @acronym{SASL} mechanisms from
30 within Emacs. The user visible aspects of this, compared to the earlier
31 situation, include support for @acronym{DIGEST}-@acronym{MD5} and
34 @item ManageSieve connections uses the @acronym{SASL} library by default.
36 The primary change this brings is support for @acronym{DIGEST-MD5} and
37 @acronym{NTLM}, when the server support it.
39 @item Gnus include a password cache mechanism in password.el.
41 It is enabled by default (see @code{password-cache}), with a short
42 timeout of 16 seconds (see @code{password-cache-expiry}). If
43 @acronym{PGG} is used as the @acronym{PGP} backend, the @acronym{PGP}
44 passphrase is managed by this mechanism. Passwords for ManageSieve
45 connections are managed by this mechanism, after quering the user about
48 @item @acronym{IMAP} identity (@acronym{RFC} 2971) is supported.
50 By default, Gnus do not send any information about itself, but you can
51 customize it using @code{nnimap-id}.
53 @item The @file{all.SCORE} file can now be edited from the group buffer
58 @c gnus-news.texi ends here.
