-* Changes in No Gnus
+* Installation changes
** Upgrading from previous (stable) version if you have used No Gnus.
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.
+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.
-** The nntp back end store article marks in `~/News/marks'.
+** 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'.
-The directory can be changed using the (customizable) variable
-`nntp-marks-directory', and marks can be disabled using the (backend)
-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'.
+** 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'.
-** Picons can be displayed right from the textual address, see
-`gnus-picon-style'
+** The installation directory name is allowed to have spaces and/or tabs.
-** You can import and export your RSS subscriptions from OPML files.
-*Note RSS::.
+\f
+* New packages and libraries within Gnus
-** 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.
+** 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.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.
+
+\f
+* Changes in group mode
-** You can now drag and drop attachments to the Message buffer.
+** 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)
-** `/ r' limits the summary buffer to replied articles.
+
+\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::.
+
+** 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.
+
+** 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.
+
+** 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 includes an Emacs Lisp SASL library.
+** Gnus now MIME decodes articles even when they lack "MIME-Version" header.
+This changes the default of `gnus-article-loose-mime'.
-This provide 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.
+** `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::.
-** ManageSieve connections uses the SASL library by default.
+** 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)
-The primary change this brings is support for DIGEST-MD5 and NTLM,
-when the server support it.
+** 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::.
-** Gnus include a password cache mechanism in password.el.
+** 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.
-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 backend, the PGP passphrase is managed by this mechanism.
-Passwords for ManageSieve connections are managed by this mechanism,
-after quering the user about whether to do so.
+
+\f
+* Changes in Message mode
+
+** Gnus now supports the "hashcash" client puzzle anti-spam mechanism. Use
+`(setq message-generate-hashcash t)' to enable. *Note Hashcash::.
+
+** You can now dra
