11 ** `/ *' (gnus-summary-limit-include-cached) is rewritten.
13 It was aliased to `Y c' (gnus-summary-insert-cached-articles). The new
14 function filters out other articles.
16 ** Group names are treated as UTF-8 by default.
18 This is supposedly what USEFOR wants to migrate to. See
19 `gnus-group-name-charset-group-alist' and
20 `gnus-group-name-charset-method-alist' for customization.
22 ** The nnml and nnfolder backends store marks for each groups.
24 This makes it possible to take backup of nnml/nnfolder servers/groups
25 separately of .newsrc.eld, while preserving marks. It also makes it
26 possible to share articles and marks between users (without sharing
27 .newsrc.eld) within e.g. a department.
29 ** The menu bar (in Group and Summary buffer) named "Misc" has been
32 ** The menu bar (in Message mode) named "MML" has been renamed to
35 ** gnus-group-charset-alist and gnus-group-ignored-charsets-alist
37 The regexps in these variables are compared with full group names
38 instead of real group names in 5.8. Users who customize these
39 variables should change those regexps accordingly. For example:
41 ("^han\\>" euc-kr) -> ("\\(^\\|:\\)han\\>" euc-kr)
43 ** Gnus now supports PGP-MIME (RFC2015) and SMIME.
45 ** Gnus inlines external parts (message/external).
47 ** MML (Mime compose) prefix changed from `M-m' to `C-c C-m'.
49 This change was made to avoid conflict with the standard binding of
50 `back-to-indentation', which is also useful in message mode.
53 * Changes in Pterodactyl Gnus (5.8/5.9)
55 The Gnus NEWS entries are short, but they reflect sweeping changes in
56 four areas: Article display treatment, MIME treatment,
57 internationalization and mail-fetching.
59 ** The mail-fetching functions have changed. See the manual for the
60 many details. In particular, all procmail fetching variables are gone.
62 If you used procmail like in
64 (setq nnmail-use-procmail t)
65 (setq nnmail-spool-file 'procmail)
66 (setq nnmail-procmail-directory "~/mail/incoming/")
67 (setq nnmail-procmail-suffix "\\.in")
69 this now has changed to
72 '((directory :path "~/mail/incoming/"
75 More information is available in the info doc at Select Methods ->
76 Getting Mail -> Mail Sources
78 ** Gnus is now a MIME-capable reader. This affects many parts of
79 Gnus, and adds a slew of new commands. See the manual for details.
81 ** Gnus has also been multilingualized. This also affects too
82 many parts of Gnus to summarize here, and adds many new variables.
84 ** gnus-auto-select-first can now be a function to be
85 called to position point.
87 ** The user can now decide which extra headers should be included in
88 summary buffers and NOV files.
90 ** `gnus-article-display-hook' has been removed. Instead, a number
91 of variables starting with `gnus-treat-' have been added.
93 ** The Gnus posting styles have been redone again and now works in a
94 subtly different manner.
96 ** New web-based backends have been added: nnslashdot, nnwarchive
97 and nnultimate. nnweb has been revamped, again, to keep up with
98 ever-changing layouts.
100 ** Gnus can now read IMAP mail via nnimap.
