** Gnus changes.
-*** The Gnus alpha distribution no longer bundles Custom and Widget.
-If your Emacs doesn't come with these libraries, fetch them from
-<URL:http://www.dina.kvl.dk/~abraham/custom/>. You also then need to
-add the following to the lisp/dgnushack.el file:
+The Gnus NEWS entries are short, but they reflect sweeping changes in
+four areas: Article display treatment, MIME treatment,
+internationalization and mail-fetching.
- (push "~/lisp/custom" load-path)
+*** The mail-fetching functions have changed. See the manual for the
+many details. In particular, all procmail fetching variables are gone.
-Modify to suit your needs.
+*** Gnus is now a MIME-capable reader. This affects many parts of
+Gnus, and adds a slew of new commands. See the manual for details.
-*** New functionality for using Gnus as an offline newsreader has been
-added. A plethora of new commands and modes have been added. See the
-Gnus manual for the full story.
+*** Gnus has also been multilingualized. This also affects too
+many parts of Gnus to summarize here, and adds many new variables.
-*** The nndraft backend has returned, but works differently than
-before. All Message buffers are now also articles in the nndraft
-group, which is created automatically.
+*** gnus-auto-select-first can now be a function to be
+called to position point.
-*** `gnus-alter-header-function' can now be used to alter header
-values.
+*** The user can now decide which extra headers should be included in
+summary buffers and NOV files.
-*** `gnus-summary-goto-article' now accept Message-ID's.
+*** `gnus-article-display-hook' has been removed. Instead, a number
+of variables starting with `gnus-treat-' have been added.
-*** A new Message command for deleting text in the body of a message
-outside the region: `C-c C-v'.
+*** The Gnus posting styles have been redone again and now works in a
+subtly different manner.
+*** New web-based backends have been added: nnslashdot, nnwarchive
+and nnultimate. nnweb has been revamped, again, to keep up with
+ever-changing layouts.
