+@item Supported Emacs versions
+The following Emacs versions are supported by No Gnus:
+@itemize @bullet
+
+@item Emacs 22 and up
+@item XEmacs 21.4
+@item XEmacs 21.5
+@item SXEmacs
+

+
+@item Installation changes
+
+@itemize @bullet
@item Upgrading from previous (stable) version if you have used No Gnus.
If you have tried No Gnus (the unstable Gnus branch leading to this
for more information about nntp marks. Note that downgrading isn't
safe in general.
-@item The nntp back end store article marks in @file{~/News/marks}.
+@item Incompatibility when switching from Emacs 23 to Emacs 22
+In Emacs 23, Gnus uses Emacs' new internal coding system @code{utf-8-emacs}
+for saving articles drafts and @file{~/.newsrc.eld}. These files may not
+be read correctly in Emacs 22 and below. If you want to use Gnus across
+different Emacs versions, you may set @code{mm-auto-save-coding-system}
+to @code{emacs-mule}.
+@c FIXME: Untested. (Or did anyone test it?)
+@c Cf. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.general/66251/focus=66344
-The directory can be changed using the (customizable) variable
-@code{nntp-marks-directory}, and marks can be disabled using the
-(backend) variable @code{nntp-marks-is-evil}. The advantage of this
-is that you can copy @file{~/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 @file{~/News/marks}
-has priority over the same data in @file{~/.newsrc.eld}.
+@item Lisp files are now installed in @file{.../site-lisp/gnus/} by default.
+It defaulted to @file{.../site-lisp/} formerly. In addition to this,
+the new installer issues a warning if other Gnus installations which
+will shadow the latest one are detected. You can then remove those
+shadows manually or remove them using @code{make
+remove-installed-shadows}.
-@item
-Picons can displayed right from the textual address, see
-@code{gnus-picon-style}
+@item The installation directory name is allowed to have spaces and/or tabs.

+
+@item New packages and libraries within Gnus
+
+@itemize @bullet
+
+@item New version of @code{nnimap}
+
+@code{nnimap} has been reimplemented in a mostly-compatible way. See
+the Gnus manual for a description of the new interface. In
+particular, @code{nnimap-inbox} and the client side split method has
+changed.
+
+@item Gnus includes the Emacs Lisp @acronym{SASL} library.
+
+This provides a clean @acronym{API} to @acronym{SASL} mechanisms from
+within Emacs. The user visible aspects of this, compared to the earlier
+situation, include support for @acronym{DIGEST}-@acronym{MD5} and
+@acronym{NTLM}. @xref{Top, ,Emacs SASL, sasl, Emacs SASL}.
+
+@item ManageSieve connections uses the @acronym{SASL} library by default.
+
+The primary change this brings is support for @acronym{DIGEST-MD5} and
+@acronym{NTLM}, when the server supports it.
+
+@item Gnus includes a password cache mechanism in password.el.
+
+It is enabled by default (see @code{password-cache}), with a short
+timeout of 16 seconds (see @code{password-cache-expiry}). If
+@acronym{PGG} is used as the @acronym{PGP} back end, the @acronym{PGP}
+passphrase is managed by this mechanism. Passwords for ManageSieve
+connections are managed by this mechanism, after querying the user
+about whether to do so.
+
+@item Using EasyPG with Gnus
+When EasyPG, is available, Gnus will use it instead of @acronym{PGG}.
+EasyPG is an Emacs user interface to GNU Privacy Guard. @xref{Top,
+,EasyPG Assistant user's manual, epa, EasyPG Assistant user's manual}.
+EasyPG is included in Emacs 23 and available separately as well.

+@c ************************
+
+@itemize @bullet
@item
-You can import and export your @acronym{RSS} subscriptions from
-@acronym{OPML} files. @xref{RSS}.
+Symbols like @code{gcc-self} now has the same presedence rules in
+@code{gnus-parameters} as other ``real'' variables: The last match
+wins instead of the first match.
@item
-The option @code{mm-fill-flowed} can be used to disable treatment of
-format=flowed messages. Also, flowed text is disabled when sending
-inline @acronym{PGP} signed messages.
+Old intermediate incoming mail files (@file{Incoming*}) are deleted
+after a couple of days, not immediately. @xref{Mail Source
+Customization}.
+(New in Gnus 5.10.10 / No Gnus 0.8)
+@c This entry is also present in the node "Oort Gnus".
-@item You can now drag and drop attachments to the Message buffer.
+@end itemize
+
+@item Changes in summary and article mode
+
+@itemize @bullet
+
+@item Gnus now supports sticky article buffers. Those are article buffers
+that are not reused when you select another article. @xref{Sticky
+Articles}.
