+** The revised Gnus FAQ is included in the manual.
+See the info node "Frequently Asked Questions".
+
+** Upgrading from previous (stable) version if you have used Oort.
+
+If you have tried Oort (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 all
+.marks (nnml) and .mrk (nnfolder) files, so that flags are read from
+your ~/.newsrc.eld instead of from the .marks/.mrk file where this
+release store flags. See a later entry for more information about
+marks. Note that downgrading isn't safe in general.
+
+** Article Buttons
+
+More buttons for URLs, mail addresses, Message-IDs, Info links, man pages and
+Emacs or Gnus related references, see the info node "Article Buttons". The
+variables `gnus-button-*-level' can be used to control the appearance of all
+article buttons, see the info node "Article Button Levels".
+
+** Dired integration
+`gnus-dired-minor-mode' installs key bindings in dired buffers to send
+a file as an attachment (`C-c C-a'), open a file using the approriate
+mailcap entry (`C-c C-l'), and print a file using the mailcap entry
+(`C-c P'). It is enabled with
+
+ (add-hook 'dired-mode-hook 'turn-on-gnus-dired-mode)
+
+** Gnus can display RSS newsfeeds as a newsgroup. To get started do `B
+nnrss RET RET' in the Group buffer.
+
+** Single-part yenc encoded attachments can be decoded.
+
+** Picons
+The picons code has been reimplemented to work in Emacs 21 -- some of
+the previous options have been removed or renamed.
+
+Picons are small "personal icons" representing users, domain and
+newsgroups, which can be displayed in the Article buffer. To enable
+picons, install the picons database from
+
+ http://www.cs.indiana.edu/picons/ftp/index.html
+
+and point `gnus-picon-databases' to that location.
+
+** If the new option `gnus-treat-body-boundary' is `head', a boundary
+line is drawn at the end of the headers.
+
+** Retrieval of charters and control messages
+There are new commands for fetching newsgroup charters (`H c') and
+control messages (`H C').
+
+** Delayed articles
+You can delay the sending of a message with `C-c C-j' in the Message
+buffer. The messages are delivered at specified time. This is useful
+for sending yourself reminders. Setup with (gnus-delay-initialize).
+
+** If `auto-compression-mode' is enabled, attachments are automatically
+decompressed when activated.
+
+** If the new option `nnml-use-compressed-files' is non-nil,
+the nnml back end allows compressed message files.
+
+** Signed article headers (X-PGP-Sig) can be verified with `W p'.
+
+** The Summary Buffer uses an arrow in the fringe to indicate the
+current article in Emacs 21 running on a graphical display. Customize
+`gnus-summary-display-arrow' to disable it.
+
+** Warn about email replies to news
+Do you often find yourself replying to news by email by mistake? Then
+the new option `gnus-confirm-mail-reply-to-news' is just the thing for
+you.
+
+** If the new option `gnus-summary-display-while-building' is non-nil,
+the summary buffer is shown and updated as it's being built.
+
+** The new `recent' mark "." indicates newly arrived messages (as
+opposed to old but unread messages).
+
+** The new option `gnus-gcc-mark-as-read' automatically marks
+Gcc articles as read.
+
+** The nndoc back end now supports mailman digests and exim bounces.
+
+** Gnus supports RFC 2369 mailing list headers, and adds a number of
+related commands in mailing list groups.
+
+** The Date header can be displayed in a format that can be read aloud
+in English, see `gnus-treat-date-english'.
+
+** The envelope sender address can be customized when using Sendmail, see
+`message-sendmail-envelope-from'.
+
+** diffs are automatically highlighted in groups matching
+`mm-uu-diff-groups-regexp'
+
+** TLS wrapper shipped with Gnus
+
+TLS/SSL is now supported in IMAP and NNTP via tls.el and GNUTLS. The
+old TLS/SSL support via (external third party) ssl.el and OpenSSL
+still works.
+
+** New make.bat for compiling and installing Gnus under MS Windows
+
+Use make.bat if you want to install Gnus under MS Windows, the first
+argument to the batch-program should be the directory where xemacs.exe
+respectively emacs.exe is located, iff you want to install Gnus after
+compiling it, give make.bat /copy as the second parameter.
+
+`make.bat' has been rewritten from scratch, it now features automatic
+recognition of XEmacs and GNU Emacs, generates gnus-load.el, checks if
+errors occur while compilation and generation of info files and reports
+them at the end of the build process. It now uses makeinfo if it is
+available and falls back to infohack.el otherwise. `make.bat' should now
+install all files which are necessary to run Gnus and be generally a
+complete replacement for the "configure; make; make install" cycle used
+under Unix systems.
+
+The new make.bat makes make-x.bat superfluous, so it has been removed.
+
+** Support for non-ASCII domain names
+
+Message supports non-ASCII domain names in From:, To: and Cc: and will
+query you whether to perform encoding when you try to send a message.
+The variable `message-use-idna' controls this. Gnus will also decode
+non-ASCII domain names in From:, To: and Cc: when you view a message.
+The variable `gnus-use-idna' controls this.
+
+** Better handling of Microsoft citation styles
+
+Gnus now tries to recognize the mangled header block that some Microsoft
+mailers use to indicate that the rest of the message is a citation, even
+though it is not quoted in any way. The variable
+`gnus-cite-unsightly-citation-regexp' matches the start of these
+citations.
+
+** gnus-article-skip-boring
+
+If you set `gnus-article-skip-boring' to t, then Gnus will not scroll
+down to show you a page that contains only boring text, which by
+default means cited text and signature. You can customize what is
+skippable using `gnus-article-boring-faces'.
+
+This feature is especially useful if you read many articles that
+consist of a little new content at the top with a long, untrimmed
+message cited below.
+
+** The format spec %C for positioning point has changed to %*.
+
+** The new variable `gnus-parameters' can be used to set group parameters.
+
+Earlier this was done only via `G p' (or `G c'), which stored the
+parameters in ~/.newsrc.eld, but via this variable you can enjoy the
+powers of customize, and simplified backups since you set the variable
+in ~/.emacs instead of ~/.newsrc.eld. The variable maps regular
+expressions matching group names to group parameters, a'la:
+
+ (setq gnus-parameters
+ '(("mail\\..*"
+ (gnus-show-threads nil)
+ (gnus-use-scoring nil))
+ ("^nnimap:\\(foo.bar\\)$"
+ (to-group . "\\1"))))
+
