** Gnus changes.
-*** nntp.el has been totally rewritten in an asynchronous fashion.
+The Gnus NEWS entries are short, but they reflect sweeping changes in
+four areas: Article display treatment, MIME treatment,
+internationalization and mail-fetching.
-*** Article prefetching functionality has been moved up into
-Gnus.
+*** The mail-fetching functions have changed. See the manual for the
+many details. In particular, all procmail fetching variables are gone.
-*** Scoring can now be performed with logical operators like
-`and', `or', `not', and parent redirection.
+*** 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.
-*** Article washing status can be displayed in the
-article mode line.
+*** Gnus has also been multilingualized. This also affects too
+many parts of Gnus to summarize here, and adds many new variables.
-*** gnus.el has been split into many smaller files.
+*** gnus-auto-select-first can now be a function to be
+called to position point.
+
+*** The user can now decide which extra headers should be included in
+summary buffers and NOV files.
+
+*** `gnus-article-display-hook' has been removed. Instead, a number
+of variables starting with `gnus-treat-' have been added.
+
+*** 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.
