-* Changes in Oort Gnus
+* Changes in No Gnus
-** gnus-group-charset-alist and gnus-group-ignored-charsets-alist
+** Upgrading from previous (stable) version if you have used No Gnus.
-The regexps in these variables are compared with full group names
-instead of real group names in 5.8. Users who customize these
-variables should change those regexps accordingly. For example:
+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.
- ("^han\\>" euc-kr) -> ("\\(^\\|:\\)han\\>" euc-kr)
+** The nntp back end store article marks in `~/News/marks'.
-** Gnus now supports PGP-MIME (RFC2015) and SMIME.
+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'.
-** Gnus inlines external parts (message/external).
+** Picons can be displayed right from the textual address, see
+`gnus-picon-style'
-** MML (Mime compose) prefix changed from `M-m' to `C-c C-m'.
+** You can import and export your RSS subscriptions from OPML files.
+*Note RSS::.
