+internationalization and mail-fetching.
 
-*** Article prefetching functionality has been moved up into 
-Gnus.  
+*** The mail-fetching functions have changed.  See the manual for the

+
+*** 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.
+
+*** Gnus has also been multilingualized.  This also affects too
+many parts of Gnus to summarize here, and adds many new variables.
+
+*** 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.
+

+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.
