+@item Changes in Browse Server mode
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item Gnus' sophisticated subscription methods are now available in
+Browse Server buffers as well using the variable
+@code{gnus-browse-subscribe-newsgroup-method}.
+
+@end itemize
+
+
+@item Changes in back ends
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item The nntp back end stores article marks in @file{~/News/marks}.
+
+The directory can be changed using the (customizable) variable
+@code{nntp-marks-directory}, and marks can be disabled using the
+(back end) variable @code{nntp-marks-is-evil}. The advantage of this
+is that you can copy @file{~/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 @file{~/News/marks}
+has priority over the same data in @file{~/.newsrc.eld}.
+
+@item
+You can import and export your @acronym{RSS} subscriptions from
+@acronym{OPML} files. @xref{RSS}.
+
+@item @acronym{IMAP} identity (@acronym{RFC} 2971) is supported.
+
+By default, Gnus does not send any information about itself, but you can
+customize it using the variable @code{nnimap-id}.
+
+@item The @code{nnrss} back end now supports multilingual text.
+Non-@acronym{ASCII} group names for the @code{nnrss} groups are also
+supported. @xref{RSS}.
+
+@item Retrieving mail with @acronym{POP3} is supported over @acronym{SSL}/@acronym{TLS} and with StartTLS.
+
+@item The nnml back end allows other compression programs beside @file{gzip}
+for compressed message files. @xref{Mail Spool}.
+
+@item The nnml back end supports group compaction.
+
+This feature, accessible via the functions
+@code{gnus-group-compact-group} (@kbd{G z} in the group buffer) and
+@code{gnus-server-compact-server} (@kbd{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).

+@item Appearance
+@c Maybe it's not worth to separate this from "Miscellaneous"?
+
+@itemize @bullet
+
+@item The tool bar has been updated to use GNOME icons.
+You can also customize the tool bars: @kbd{M-x customize-apropos RET
+-tool-bar$} should get you started. (Only for Emacs, not in XEmacs.)
+@c FIXME: Document this in the manual
+
+@item The tool bar icons are now (de)activated correctly
+in the group buffer, see the variable @code{gnus-group-update-tool-bar}.
+Its default value depends on your Emacs version.
+@c FIXME: Document this in the manual
+
+@item You can change the location of XEmacs' toolbars in Gnus buffers.
+See @code{gnus-use-toolbar} and @code{message-use-toolbar}.

+
+@item Miscellaneous changes
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item 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
+@code{nntp-via-address} into @samp{bar.example.com} from
+@samp{foo.example.com}, Gnus will connect to the news host by way of the
+intermediate host @samp{bar.example.com} from next time.
+
+@item The @file{all.SCORE} file can be edited from the group buffer
+using @kbd{W e}.
+
+@item You can set @code{gnus-mark-copied-or-moved-articles-as-expirable}
+to a non-@code{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 @code{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.
+@xref{Expiring Mail}.
+
+@item NoCeM support has been removed.
