 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

+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.
+
+** 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'.

 
 

-** The nntp back end stores article marks in `~/News/marks'.
+\f
+* New packages and libraries within Gnus

 
 

-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'.
+** Gnus includes the Emacs Lisp SASL library.

 
 

-** Picons can be displayed right from the textual address, see
-`gnus-picon-style'.  *Note Picons::.
+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.

 
 

-** You can import and export your RSS subscriptions from OPML files.
-*Note RSS::.
+** ManageSieve connections uses the SASL library by default.

 
 

-** 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.
+The primary change this brings is support for DIGEST-MD5 and NTLM, when
+the server supports it.

 
 

-** 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.
+** Gnus includes a password cache mechanism in password.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.
+
+\f
+* 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::.
+
+** 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.
+
+** 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::.
+
+** Gnus now displays DNS master files sent as text/dns using dns-mode.
