For older news, see Gnus info node "New Features". -* Installation changes +* New features -** Upgrading from previous (stable) version if you have used No Gnus. +** nnimap can request and use the Gmail "X-GM-LABELS". -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. +** New package `gnus-notifications.el' can send notifications when you + receive new messages. -** Incompatibility when switching from Emacs 23 to Emacs 22 In Emacs 23, -Gnus uses Emacs' new internal coding system `utf-8-emacs' for saving -articles drafts and `~/.newsrc.eld'. These files may not be read -correctly in Emacs 22 and below. If you want to use Gnus across -different Emacs versions, you may set `mm-auto-save-coding-system' to -`emacs-mule'. +** If you have the "tnef" program installed, Gnus will display ms-tnef + files, aka "winmail.dat". -** Lisp files are now installed in `.../site-lisp/gnus/' by default. It -defaulted to `.../site-lisp/' formerly. In addition to this, the new -installer issues a warning if other Gnus installations which will shadow -the latest one are detected. You can then remove those shadows manually -or remove them using `make remove-installed-shadows'. +** Archives (like tar and zip files) will be automatically unpacked, + and the files inside the packages will be displayed as MIME parts. -** The installation directory name is allowed to have spaces and/or tabs. +** shr has a new command `z' that cycles through image sizes. - -* New packages and libraries within Gnus - -** Gnus includes the Emacs Lisp SASL library. - -This provides 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. *Note Emacs SASL: (sasl)Top. - -** ManageSieve connections uses the SASL library by default. - -The primary change this brings is support for DIGEST-MD5 and NTLM, when -the server supports it. - -** Gnus includes a password cache mechanism in password-cache.el. - -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 -back end, the PGP passphrase is managed by this mechanism. Passwords -for ManageSieve connections are managed by this mechanism, after -querying the user about whether to do so. - -** Using EasyPG with Gnus When EasyPG, is available, Gnus will use it -instead of PGG. EasyPG is an Emacs user interface to GNU Privacy Guard. - *Note EasyPG Assistant user's manual: (epa)Top. EasyPG is included in -Emacs 23 and available separately as well. - - -* Changes in group mode - -** Old intermediate incoming mail files (`Incoming*') are deleted after a -couple of days, not immediately. *Note Mail Source Customization::. -(New in Gnus 5.10.10 / No Gnus 0.8) - - - -* Changes in summary and article mode - -** Gnus now supports sticky article buffers. Those are article buffers -that are not reused when you select another article. *Note Sticky -Articles::. - -** Gnus can selectively display `text/html' articles with a WWW browser -with `K H'. *Note MIME Commands::. - -** International host names (IDNA) can now be decoded inside article bodies -using `W i' (`gnus-summary-idna-message'). This requires that GNU Libidn -(`http://www.gnu.org/software/libidn/') has been installed. +** `backtab' in the summary buffer now selects the previous link in + the article buffer. -** The non-ASCII group names handling has been much improved. The back -ends that fully support non-ASCII group names are now `nntp', `nnml', -and `nnrss'. Also the agent, the cache, and the marks features work -with those back ends. *Note Non-ASCII Group Names::. +** Using the "X-Message-SMTP-Method" header in Message buffers now + allows specifying how messages are to be sent. For example: -** Gnus now displays DNS master files sent as text/dns using dns-mode. + X-Message-SMTP-Method: smtp smtp.fsf.org 587 -** Gnus supports new limiting commands in the Summary buffer: `/ r' -(`gnus-summary-limit-to-replied') and `/ R' -(`gnus-summary-limit-to-recipient'). *Note Limiting::. - -** You can now fetch all ticked articles from the server using `Y t' -(`gnus-summary-insert-ticked-articles'). *Note Summary Generation -Commands::. - -** Gnus supports a new sort command in the Summary buffer: `C-c C-s C-t' -(`gnus-summary-sort-by-recipient'). *Note Summary Sorting::. - -** S/MIME now features LDAP user certificate searches. You need to -configure the server in `smime-ldap-host-list'. - -** URLs inside OpenPGP headers are retrieved and imported to your PGP key -ring when you click on them. - -** Picons can be displayed right from the textual address, see -`gnus-picon-style'. *Note Picons::. - -** ANSI SGR control sequences can be transformed using `W A'. - -ANSI sequences are used in some Chinese hierarchies for highlighting -articles (`gnus-article-treat-ansi-sequences'). - -** Gnus now MIME decodes articles even when they lack "MIME-Version" header. -This changes the default of `gnus-article-loose-mime'. - -** `gnus-decay-scores' can be a regexp matching score files. For example, -set it to `\\.ADAPT\\'' and only adaptive score files will be decayed. - *Note Score Decays::. - -** Strings prefixing to the `To' and `Newsgroup' headers in summary lines -when using `gnus-ignored-from-addresses' can be customized with -`gnus-summary-to-prefix' and `gnus-summary-newsgroup-prefix'. *Note To -From Newsgroups::. - -** You can replace MIME parts with external bodies. See -`gnus-mime-replace-part' and `gnus-article-replace-part'. *Note MIME -Commands::, *note Using MIME::. - -** The option `mm-fill-flowed' can be used to disable treatment of -format=flowed messages. Also, flowed text is disabled when sending -inline PGP signed messages. *Note Flowed text: (emacs-mime)Flowed text. -(New in Gnus 5.10.7) - -** Now the new command `S W' (`gnus-article-wide-reply-with-original') for -a wide reply in the article buffer yanks a text that is in the active -region, if it is set, as well as the `R' -(`gnus-article-reply-with-original') command. Note that the `R' command -in the article buffer no longer accepts a prefix argument, which was -used to make it do a wide reply. *Note Article Keymap::. - -** The new command `C-h b' (`gnus-article-describe-bindings') used in the -article buffer now shows not only the article commands but also the real -summary commands that are accessible from the article buffer. - - - -* Changes in Message mode +** Gnus keeps track of non-existent articles for nnimap groups, so + that sparse IMAP folders now list a correct number of messages in + them. -** Gnus now supports the "hashcash" client puzzle anti-spam mechanism. Use -`(setq message-generate-hashcash t)' to enable. *Note Hashcash::. +** 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. -** You can now drag and drop attachments to the Message buffer. See -`mml-dnd-protocol-alist' and `mml-dnd-attach-options'. *Note MIME: -(message)MIME. - -** The option `message-yank-empty-prefix' now controls how empty lines are -prefixed in cited text. *Note Insertion Variables: (message)Insertion -Variables. - -** Gnus uses narrowing to hide headers in Message buffers. The -`References' header is hidden by default. To make all headers visible, -use `(setq message-hidden-headers nil)'. *Note Message Headers: -(message)Message Headers. - -** You can highlight different levels of citations like in the article -buffer. See `gnus-message-highlight-citation'. - -** `auto-fill-mode' is enabled by default in Message mode. See -`message-fill-column'. *Note Message Headers: (message)Various Message -Variables. - -** You can now store signature files in a special directory named -`message-signature-directory'. - -** The option `message-citation-line-format' controls the format of the -"Whomever writes:" line. You need to set -`message-citation-line-function' to -`message-insert-formatted-citation-line' as well. - - -* Changes in back ends - -** The nntp back end stores article marks in `~/News/marks'. - -The directory can be changed using the (customizable) variable -`nntp-marks-directory', and marks can be disabled using the (back end) -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'. - -** You can import and export your RSS subscriptions from OPML files. *Note -RSS::. - -** IMAP identity (RFC 2971) is supported. - -By default, Gnus does not send any information about itself, but you can -customize it using the variable `nnimap-id'. - -** The `nnrss' back end now supports multilingual text. Non-ASCII group -names for the `nnrss' groups are also supported. *Note RSS::. - -** Retrieving mail with POP3 is supported over SSL/TLS and with StartTLS. - -** The nnml back end allows other compression programs beside `gzip' for -compressed message files. *Note Mail Spool::. - -** The nnml back end supports group compaction. - -This feature, accessible via the functions `gnus-group-compact-group' -(`G z' in the group buffer) and `gnus-server-compact-server' (`z' in the -server buffer) renumbers all articles in a group, starting from 1 and -removing gaps. As a consequence, you get a correct total article count -(until messages are deleted again). - - - -* Appearance - -** The tool bar has been updated to use GNOME icons. You can also -customize the tool bars: `M-x customize-apropos RET -tool-bar$' should -get you started. (Only for Emacs, not in XEmacs.) - -** The tool bar icons are now (de)activated correctly in the group buffer, -see the variable `gnus-group-update-tool-bar'. Its default value -depends on your Emacs version. - -** You can change the location of XEmacs' toolbars in Gnus buffers. See -`gnus-use-toolbar' and `message-use-toolbar'. - - - -* Miscellaneous changes - -** Having edited the select-method for the foreign server in the server -buffer is immediately reflected to the subscription of the groups which -use the server in question. For instance, if you change -`nntp-via-address' into `bar.example.com' from `foo.example.com', Gnus -will connect to the news host by way of the intermediate host -`bar.example.com' from next time. - -** The `all.SCORE' file can be edited from the group buffer using `W e'. - -** You can set `gnus-mark-copied-or-moved-articles-as-expirable' to a -non-`nil' value so that articles that have been read may be marked as -expirable automatically when copying or moving them to a group that has -auto-expire turned on. The default is `nil' and copying and moving of -articles behave as before; i.e., the expirable marks will be unchanged -except that the marks will be removed when copying or moving articles to -a group that has not turned auto-expire on. *Note Expiring Mail::. - - - +** `nnimap-inbox' can now be a list of mail box names. + * For older news, see Gnus info node "New Features". ----------------------------------------------------------------------
