 ** Gnus changes.
 
-*** New functionality for using Gnus as an offline newsreader has been
-added.  A plethora of new commands and modes have been added.  See the
-Gnus manual for the full story.
+The Gnus NEWS entries are short, but they reflect sweeping changes in
+four areas: Article display treatment, MIME treatment,
+internationalization and mail-fetching.
 
-*** The nndraft backend has returned, but works differently than
-before.  All Message buffers are now also articles in the nndraft
-group, which is created automatically.
+*** The mail-fetching functions have changed.  See the manual for the
+many details.  In particular, all procmail fetching variables are gone.
 
-*** `gnus-alter-header-function' can now be used to alter header
-values.
+If you used procmail like in
 
-*** `gnus-summary-goto-article' now accept Message-ID's.
+(setq nnmail-use-procmail t)
+(setq nnmail-spool-file 'procmail)
+(setq nnmail-procmail-directory "~/mail/incoming/")
+(setq nnmail-procmail-suffix "\\.in")
 
-*** A new Message command for deleting text in the body of a message
-outside the region: `C-c C-v'.
+this now has changed to 
 
+(setq mail-sources
+      '((directory :path "~/mail/incoming/"
+                  :suffix ".in")))
+
+More information is available in the info doc at Select Methods ->
+Getting Mail -> Mail Sources
+
+*** 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.
+
+*** Gnus has also been multilingualized.  This also affects too
+many parts of Gnus to summarize here, and adds many new variables.
+
+*** gnus-auto-select-first can now be a function to be
+called to position point.
+
+*** The user can now decide which extra headers should be included in
+summary buffers and NOV files.
+
+*** `gnus-article-display-hook' has been removed.  Instead, a number
+of variables starting with `gnus-treat-' have been added.
+
+*** The Gnus posting styles have been redone again and now works in a
+subtly different manner.
+
+*** New web-based backends have been added: nnslashdot, nnwarchive
+and nnultimate.  nnweb has been revamped, again, to keep up with
+ever-changing layouts.
+
+*** Gnus can now read IMAP mail via nnimap.
