+* Changes in No Gnus
-Modify to suit your needs.
+** Gnus includes an Emacs Lisp SASL library.
-*** 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.
+This provide a clean API to SASL mechanisms from within Emacs. The
+user visible aspects of this, compared to the earlier situation,
+include support for DIGEST-MD5 and NTLM.
-*** 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.
+** ManageSieve connections uses the SASL library by default.
-*** `gnus-alter-header-function' can now be used to alter header
-values.
+The primary change this brings is support for DIGEST-MD5 and NTLM,
+when the server support it.
-*** `gnus-summary-goto-article' now accept Message-ID's.
+** Gnus include a password cache mechanism in password.el.
-*** A new Message command for deleting text in the body of a message
-outside the region: `C-c C-v'.
+It is enabled by default (see `password-cache'), with a short timeout
+of 16 seconds (see `password-cache-expiry'). If PGG is used as the
+PGP backend, the PGP passphrase is managed by this mechanism.
+Passwords for ManageSieve connections are managed by this mechanism,
+after quering the user about whether to do so.
-*** You can now post to component group in nnvirtual groups with
-`C-u C-c C-c'.
+** IMAP identity (RFC 2971) is supported.
-*** `nntp-rlogin-program' -- new variable to ease customization.
+By default, Gnus do not send any information about itself, but you can
+customize it using `nnimap-id'.
-*** `C-u C-c C-c' in `gnus-article-edit-mode' will now inhibit
-re-highlighting of the article buffer.
+** The "all.SCORE" file can now be edited from the group buffer using `W e'.
-*** New element in `gnus-boring-article-headers' -- `long-to'.
+\f
+* For older news, see Gnus info node "New Features".
-*** `M-i' symbolic prefix command. See the section "Symbolic
-Prefixes" in the Gnus manual for details.
