** Gnus changes. *** The Gnus distribution no longer bundles Custom and Widget. If your Emacs doesn't come with these libraries, fetch them from . You also then need to add the following to the lisp/dgnushack.el file: (push "~/lisp/custom" load-path) Modify to suit your needs. *** 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 nndraft backend has returned, but works differently than before. All Message buffers are now also articles in the nndraft group, which is created automatically. *** `gnus-alter-header-function' can now be used to alter header values. *** `gnus-summary-goto-article' now accept Message-ID's. *** A new Message command for deleting text in the body of a message outside the region: `C-c C-v'. *** You can now post to component group in nnvirtual groups with `C-u C-c C-c'. *** `nntp-rlogin-program' -- new variable to ease customization. *** `C-u C-c C-c' in `gnus-article-edit-mode' will now inhibit re-highlighting of the article buffer. *** New element in `gnus-boring-article-headers' -- `long-to'. *** `M-i' symbolic prefix command. See the section "Symbolic Prefixes" in the Gnus manual for details. *** `L' and `I' in the summary buffer now take the symbolic prefix `a' to add the score rule to the "all.SCORE" file. *** `gnus-simplify-subject-functions' variable to allow greater control over simplification. *** `A T' -- new command for fetching the current thread. *** `/ T' -- new command for including the current thread in the limit. *** `M-RET' is a new Message command for breaking cited text. *** \\1-expressions are now valid in `nnmail-split-methods'. *** The `custom-face-lookup' function has been removed. If you used this function in your initialization files, you must rewrite them to use `face-spec-set' instead. *** Cancelling now uses the current select method. Symbolic prefix `a' forces normal posting method. *** New command to translate M******** sm*rtq**t*s into proper text -- `W d'. *** For easier debugging of nntp, you can set `nntp-record-commands' to a non-nil value. *** nntp now uses ~/.authinfo, a .netrc-like file, for controlling where and how to send AUTHINFO to NNTP servers. *** A command for editing group parameters from the summary buffer has been added. *** A history of where mails have been split is available. *** A new article date command has been added -- `article-date-iso8601'. *** Subjects can be simplified when threading by setting `gnus-score-thread-simplify'. *** A new function for citing in Message has been added -- `message-cite-original-without-signature'. *** `article-strip-all-blank-lines' -- new article command. *** A new Message command to kill to the end of the article has been added. *** A minimum adaptive score can be specified by using the `gnus-adaptive-word-minimum' variable. *** The "lapsed date" article header can be kept continually updated by the `gnus-start-date-timer' command. *** Web listserv archives can be read with the nnlistserv backend. *** Old dejanews archives can now be read by nnweb. *** Byte-compilation of user-specs now works under XEmacs. *** `gnus-posting-styles' has been re-activated.
