* Changes in Oort Gnus
+** 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 save 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".
