\f
-* Changes in Oort Gnus
-
-** Gnus supports server-side mail filtering using Sieve.
-
-** Extended format specs.
-
-Format spec "%&user-date;" is added into
-gnus-summary-line-format-alist. Also, user defined extended format
-specs are supported. The extended format specs look like "%u&foo;",
-which invokes function gnus-user-format-function-foo. Because "&" is
-used as the escape character, old user defined format "%u&" is no
-longer supported.
-
-** `/ *' (gnus-summary-limit-include-cached) is rewritten.
-
-It was aliased to `Y c' (gnus-summary-insert-cached-articles). The new
-function filters out other articles.
-
-** Group names are treated as UTF-8 by default.
-
-This is supposedly what USEFOR wants to migrate to. See
-`gnus-group-name-charset-group-alist' and
-`gnus-group-name-charset-method-alist' for customization.
+* New features
-** The nnml and nnfolder backends store marks for each groups.
+** If you have the "tnef" program installed, Gnus will display ms-tnef
+ files, aka "winmail.dat".
-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.
+** Archives (like tar and zip files) will be automatically unpacked,
+ and the files inside the packages will be displayed as MIME parts.
-** The menu bar (in Group and Summary buffer) named "Misc" has been
- renamed to "Gnus".
+** shr has a new command `z' that cycles through image sizes.
-** The menu bar (in Message mode) named "MML" has been renamed to
- "Attachments".
+** `backtab' in the summary buffer now selects the previous link in
+ the article buffer.
-** gnus-group-charset-alist and gnus-group-ignored-charsets-alist
-
-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:
-
- ("^han\\>" euc-kr) -> ("\\(^\\|:\\)han\\>" euc-kr)
-
-** Gnus now supports PGP (RFC 1991), PGP-MIME (RFC 2015/3156) and
-SMIME.
-
-** Gnus inlines external parts (message/external).
-
-** MML (Mime compose) prefix changed from `M-m' to `C-c C-m'.
-
-This change was made to avoid conflict with the standard binding of
-`back-to-indentation', which is also useful in message mode.
-
-\f
-* Changes in Pterodactyl Gnus (5.8/5.9)
+** Using the "X-Message-SMTP-Method" header in Message buffers now
+ allows specifying how messages are to be sent. For example:
-The Gnus NEWS entries are short, but they reflect sweeping changes in
-four areas: Article display treatment, MIME treatment,
-internationalization and mail-fetching.
+ X-Message-SMTP-Method: smtp smtp.fsf.org 587
-** The mail-fetching functions have changed. See the manual for the
-many details. In particular, all procmail fetching variables are gone.
+** Gnus keeps track of non-existent articles for nnimap groups, so
+ that sparse IMAP folders now list a correct number of messages in
+ them.
-If you used procmail like in
+** Gnus will guess the real type of MIME parts of type
+ application/octet-stream based on the file suffix. So an
+ application/octet-stream with a name of "rms.jpg" will be displayed
+ as an image/jpeg type by default, for instance.
-(setq nnmail-use-procmail t)
-(setq nnmail-spool-file 'procmail)
-(setq nnmail-procmail-directory "~/mail/incoming/")
-(setq nnmail-procmail-suffix "\\.in")
-
-this now has changed to
-
-(setq mail-sources
- '((directory :path "~/mail/incoming/"
- :suffix ".in")))
-
-More information is available in the info doc at Select Methods ->
-Getting Mail -> Mail Sources
-
-** 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.
-
-** Gnus has also been multilingualized. This also affects too
-many parts of Gnus to summarize here, and adds many new variables.
-
-** gnus-auto-select-first can now be a function to be
-called to position point.
-
-** The user can now decide which extra headers should be included in
-summary buffers and NOV files.
-
-** `gnus-article-display-hook' has been removed. Instead, a number
-of variables starting with `gnus-treat-' have been added.
-
-** The Gnus posting styles have been redone again and now works in a
-subtly different manner.
-
-** New web-based backends have been added: nnslashdot, nnwarchive
-and nnultimate. nnweb has been revamped, again, to keep up with
-ever-changing layouts.
-
-** Gnus can now read IMAP mail via nnimap.
-
-\f
+** `nnimap-inbox' can now be a list of mail box names.
