-* Changes in Oort Gnus
-
-** message-minibuffer-local-map
-
-The line below enables BBDB in resending a message:
-
-(define-key message-minibuffer-local-map [(tab)] 'bbdb-complete-name)
-
-** Externalize attachments.
-
-If gnus-gcc-externalize-attachments (or
-message-fcc-externalize-attachments) is non-nil, attach local files as
-external parts.
-
-Command gnus-mime-save-part-and-strip (bound to \C-o on MIME buttons)
-saves a part and replaces the part with an external one.
-
-** gnus-default-charset
-
-The default value is determined from the current-language-environment
-variable, instead of 'iso-8859-1. Also the ".*" item in
-gnus-group-charset-alist is removed.
-
-** gnus-posting-styles
-
-Add a new format of match like
-
- ((header "to" "larsi.*org")
- (Organization "Somewhere, Inc."))
-
-The old format like the lines below is obsolete.
-
- (header "to" "larsi.*org"
- (Organization "Somewhere, Inc."))
-
-** message-ignored-news-headers and message-ignored-mail-headers
-
-X-Draft-From and X-Gnus-Agent-Meta-Information have been added into
-these two variables. If you customized those, perhaps you need add
-those two headers too.
-
-** Gnus reads the NOV and articles in the Agent if plugged.
-
-If one reads an article while plugged, and the article already exists
-in the Agent, it won't get downloaded once more. (setq
-gnus-agent-cache nil) reverts to the old behavior.
-
-** Gnus supports the "format=flowed" (RFC 2646) parameter.
-
-On composing messages, it is enabled by `use-hard-newlines'. Decoding
-format=flowed was present but not documented in earlier versions.
-
-** Gnus supports the generation of RFC 2298 Disposition Notification requests.
-
-This is invoked with the C-c M-n key binding from message mode.
-
-** Gnus supports Maildir groups.
-
-Gnus includes a new backend nnmaildir.el.
-
-** Printing capabilities are enhanced.
-Gnus supports Muttprint natively with O P from the Summary and Article
-buffers. Also, each individual MIME part can be printed using p on
-the MIME button.
-
-** Message supports the Importance: header.
-
-In the message buffer, C-c C-f C-i or C-u cycles through the valid values.
-
-** Gnus supports Cancel Locks in News.
-
-This means a header "Cancel-Lock" is inserted in news posting. It is
-used to determine if you wrote a article or not (for
-cancelling/superseding). The behaviour can be changed by customizing
-`message-insert-canlock'.
-
-** Gnus supports server-side mail filtering using Sieve.
-
-Sieve rules can be added as Group Parameters for groups, and the
-complete Sieve script is generated using `D g' from the Group buffer,
-and then uploaded to the server using `C-c C-l' in the generated Sieve
-buffer. Search the online Gnus manual for "sieve", and see the new
-Sieve manual, for more information.
-
-** Extended format specs.
-
-Format spec "%&user-date;" is added into
-gnus-summary-line-format-alist. Also, user defined extended format
-specs are supported. The extended format specs look like "%u&foo;",
-which invokes function gnus-user-format-function-foo. Because "&" is
-used as the escape character, old user defined format "%u&" is no
-longer supported.
-
-** `/ *' (gnus-summary-limit-include-cached) is rewritten.
-
-It was aliased to `Y c' (gnus-summary-insert-cached-articles). The new
-function filters out other articles.
-
-** Group names are treated as UTF-8 by default.
-
-This is supposedly what USEFOR wants to migrate to. See
-`gnus-group-name-charset-group-alist' and
-`gnus-group-name-charset-method-alist' for customization.
-
-** The nnml and nnfolder backends store marks for each groups.
-
-This makes it possible to take backup of nnml/nnfolder servers/groups
-separately of .newsrc.eld, while preserving marks. It also makes it
-possible to share articles and marks between users (without sharing
-the .newsrc.eld file) within e.g. a department. It works by storing
-the marks stored in .newsrc.eld in a per-group file ".marks" (for
-nnml) and "groupname.mrk" (for nnfolder, named "groupname"). If the
-nnml/nnfolder is moved to another machine, Gnus will automatically use
-the .marks or .mrk file instead of the information in .newsrc.eld.
-The new server variables `nnml-marks-is-evil' and
-`nnfolder-marks-is-evil' can be used to disable this feature.
-
-** The menu bar (in Group and Summary buffer) named "Misc" has been
-renamed to "Gnus".
-
-** The menu bar (in Message mode) named "MML" has been renamed to
-"Attachments".
-
-** gnus-group-charset-alist and gnus-group-ignored-charsets-alist.
-
-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:
-
- ("^han\\>" euc-kr) -> ("\\(^\\|:\\)han\\>" euc-kr)
-
-** Gnus supports PGP (RFC 1991/2440), PGP-MIME (RFC 2015/3156) and
-SMIME.
-
-** Gnus inlines external parts (message/external).
-
-** MML (Mime compose) prefix changed from `M-m' to `C-c C-m'.
+\f
+* Changes in No Gnus
-This change was made to avoid conflict with the standard binding of
-`back-to-indentation', which is also useful in message mode.
+./gnus-news.texi:23: Cross reference to nonexistent node `RSS' (perhaps incorrect sectioning?).
+This file contains a list of news features Gnus. It is supposed to be
+included in `gnus.texi'. `GNUS-NEWS' is automatically generated from this
+file (see `gnus-news.el').
-\f
-* Changes in Pterodactyl Gnus (5.8/5.9)
+** You can import and export your RSS subscriptions from OPML files.
+*Note RSS::.
-The Gnus NEWS entries are short, but they reflect sweeping changes in
-four areas: Article display treatment, MIME treatment,
-internationalization and mail-fetching.
+** 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.
-** The mail-fetching functions have changed. See the manual for the
-many details. In particular, all procmail fetching variables are gone.
+** You can now drag and drop attachments to the Message buffer.
-If you used procmail like in
+** `/ r' limits the summary buffer to replied articles.
-(setq nnmail-use-procmail t)
-(setq nnmail-spool-file 'procmail)
-(setq nnmail-procmail-directory "~/mail/incoming/")
-(setq nnmail-procmail-suffix "\\.in")
+** ANSI SGR control sequences can be transformed using `W A'.
-this now has changed to
+ANSI sequences are used in some Chinese hierarchies for highlighting
+articles (`gnus-article-treat-ansi-sequences').
-(setq mail-sources
- '((directory :path "~/mail/incoming/"
- :suffix ".in")))
+** Gnus includes an Emacs Lisp SASL library.
-More information is available in the info doc at Select Methods ->
-Getting Mail -> Mail Sources
+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 is now a MIME-capable reader. This affects many parts of
-Gnus, and adds a slew of new commands. See the manual for details.
+** ManageSieve connections uses the SASL library by default.
-** Gnus has also been multilingualized. This also affects too
-many parts of Gnus to summarize here, and adds many new variables.
+The primary change this brings is support for DIGEST-MD5 and NTLM,
+when the server support it.
-** gnus-auto-select-first can now be a function to be
-called to position point.
+** Gnus include a password cache mechanism in password.el.
-** The user can now decide which extra headers should be included in
-summary buffers and NOV files.
+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.
-** `gnus-article-display-hook' has been removed. Instead, a number
-of variables starting with `gnus-treat-' have been added.
+** IMAP identity (RFC 2971) is supported.
-** The Gnus posting styles have been redone again and now works in a
-subtly different manner.
+By default, Gnus do not send any information about itself, but you can
+customize it using the variable `nnimap-id'.
-** New web-based backends have been added: nnslashdot, nnwarchive
-and nnultimate. nnweb has been revamped, again, to keep up with
-ever-changing layouts.
+** The `all.SCORE' file can be edited from the group buffer using `W e'.
-** Gnus can now read IMAP mail via nnimap.
+** Gnus now MIME decode articles even when they lack "MIME-Version"
+header. This changes the default of `gnus-article-loose-mime'.
