+** Upgrading from previous (stable) version if you have used No Gnus.
+
+If you have tried No Gnus (the unstable Gnus branch leading to this
+release) but went back to a stable version, be careful when upgrading
+to this version.  In particular, you will probably want to remove the
+`~/News/marks' directory (perhaps selectively), so that flags are
+read from your `~/.newsrc.eld' instead of from the stale marks file,
+where this release will store flags for nntp.  See a later entry for
+more information about nntp marks.  Note that downgrading isn't safe
+in general.
+
+** The nntp back end store article marks in `~/News/marks'.
+
+The directory can be changed using the (customizable) variable
+`nntp-marks-directory', and marks can be disabled using the (backend)
+variable `nntp-marks-is-evil'.  The advantage of this is that you can
+copy `~/News/marks' (using rsync, scp or whatever) to another Gnus
+installation, and it will realize what articles you have read and
+marked.  The data in `~/News/marks' has priority over the same data
+in `~/.newsrc.eld'.
+
+** Picons can be displayed right from the textual address, see
+`gnus-picon-style'

+** You can import and export your RSS subscriptions from OPML files.

+inline PGP signed messages.
