-** Gnus changes.
+GNUS NEWS -- history of user-visible changes.
+Copyright (C) 1999, 2000, 2001 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
+See the end for copying conditions.
-*** nntp.el has been totally rewritten in an asynchronous fashion.
+Please send Gnus bug reports to bugs@gnus.org.
+For older news, see Gnus info node "New Features".
-*** Article prefetching functionality has been moved up into
-Gnus.
+\f
+* Changes in Oort Gnus
-*** Scoring can now be performed with logical operators like
-`and', `or', `not', and parent redirection.
+** The nnml and nnfolder backends store marks for each groups.
-*** Article washing status can be displayed in the
-article mode line.
+This makes it possible to take backup of nnml/nnfolder servers/groups
+separately of .newsrc.eld, while preserving marks. It also makes it
+possible to share articles and marks between users (without sharing
+.newsrc.eld) within e.g. a department.
-*** gnus.el has been split into many smaller files.
+** The menu bar (in Group and Summary buffer) named "Misc" has been
+ renamed to "Gnus".
-*** Suppression of duplicate articles based on Message-ID.
+** The menu bar (in Message mode) named "MML" has been renamed to
+ "Attachments".
-(setq gnus-suppress-duplicates t)
+** gnus-group-charset-alist and gnus-group-ignored-charsets-alist
-*** New variables for specifying what score and adapt files
-are to be considered home score and adapt files. See
-`gnus-home-score-file' and `gnus-home-adapt-files'.
+The regexps in these variables are compared with full group names
+instead of real group names in 5.8. Users who customize these
+variables should change those regexps accordingly. For example:
-*** Groups can inherit group parameters from parent topics.
+ ("^han\\>" euc-kr) -> ("\\(^\\|:\\)han\\>" euc-kr)
-*** Article editing has been revamped and is now usable.
+** Gnus now supports PGP-MIME (RFC2015) and SMIME.
-*** Signatures can be recognized in more intelligent fashions.
-See `gnus-signature-separator' and `gnus-signature-limit'.
+** Gnus inlines external parts (message/external).
-*** Summary pick mode has been made to look more nn-like.
-Line numbers are displayed and the `.' command can be
-used to pick articles.
+** MML (Mime compose) prefix changed from `M-m' to `C-c C-m'.
-*** Commands for moving the .newsrc.eld from one server to
-another have been added.
+This change was made to avoid conflict with the standard binding of
+`back-to-indentation', which is also useful in message mode.
- `M-x gnus-change-server'
+\f
+* Changes in Pterodactyl Gnus (5.8/5.9)
-*** A way to specify that "uninteresting" fields be suppressed when
-generating lines in buffers.
+The Gnus NEWS entries are short, but they reflect sweeping changes in
+four areas: Article display treatment, MIME treatment,
+internationalization and mail-fetching.
-*** Several commands in the group buffer can be undone with
-`M-C-_'.
+** The mail-fetching functions have changed. See the manual for the
+many details. In particular, all procmail fetching variables are gone.
-*** Scoring can be done on words using the new score type `w'.
+If you used procmail like in
-*** Adaptive scoring can be done on a Subject word-by-word basis:
+(setq nnmail-use-procmail t)
+(setq nnmail-spool-file 'procmail)
+(setq nnmail-procmail-directory "~/mail/incoming/")
+(setq nnmail-procmail-suffix "\\.in")
- (setq gnus-use-adaptive-scoring '(word))
+this now has changed to
-*** Scores can be decayed.
-
- (setq gnus-decay-scores t)
+(setq mail-sources
+ '((directory :path "~/mail/incoming/"
+ :suffix ".in")))
-*** Scoring can be performed using a regexp on the Date header. The
-Date is normalized to compact ISO 8601 format first.
+More information is available in the info doc at Select Methods ->
+Getting Mail -> Mail Sources
-*** A new command has been added to remove all data on articles from
-the native server.
+** 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.
- `M-x gnus-group-clear-data-on-native-groups'
+** Gnus has also been multilingualized. This also affects too
+many parts of Gnus to summarize here, and adds many new variables.
-*** A new command for reading collections of documents
-(nndoc with nnvirtual on top) has been added -- `M-C-d'.
+** gnus-auto-select-first can now be a function to be
+called to position point.
-*** Process mark sets can be pushed and popped.
+** The user can now decide which extra headers should be included in
+summary buffers and NOV files.
-*** A new mail-to-news backend makes it possible to post
-even when the NNTP server doesn't allow posting.
-*** Process mark sets can be pushed and popped.
+** `gnus-article-display-hook' has been removed. Instead, a number
+of variables starting with `gnus-treat-' have been added.
-*** A new mail-to-news backend makes it possible to post
-even when the NNTP server doesn't allow posting.
+** The Gnus posting styles have been redone again and now works in a
+subtly different manner.
-*** A new backend for reading searches from DejaNews has
-been added.
+** New web-based backends have been added: nnslashdot, nnwarchive
+and nnultimate. nnweb has been revamped, again, to keep up with
+ever-changing layouts.
- Use the `G n' command in the group buffer to create such
- a group.
+** Gnus can now read IMAP mail via nnimap.
