For older news, see Gnus info node "New Features". -* Changes in Oort Gnus +* Changes in No Gnus -** Gnus supports Cancel Locks in News. +** Upgrading from previous (stable) version if you have used No Gnus. -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'. +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. -** Gnus supports server-side mail filtering using Sieve. +** The nntp back end stores article marks in `~/News/marks'. -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. +The directory can be changed using the (customizable) variable +`nntp-marks-directory', and marks can be disabled using the (back +end) 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'. -** Extended format specs. +** Picons can be displayed right from the textual address, see +`gnus-picon-style'. *Note Picons::. -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. +** You can import and export your RSS subscriptions from OPML files. + *Note RSS::. -** `/ *' (gnus-summary-limit-include-cached) is rewritten. +** 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. -It was aliased to `Y c' (gnus-summary-insert-cached-articles). The new -function filters out other articles. +** You can now drag and drop attachments to the Message buffer. See +`mml-dnd-protocol-alist' and `mml-dnd-attach-options'. *Note MIME: +(message)MIME. -** Group names are treated as UTF-8 by default. +** The option `message-yank-empty-prefix' now controls how empty lines +are prefixed in cited text. *Note Insertion Variables: +(message)Insertion Variables. -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. +** ANSI SGR control sequences can be transformed using `W A'. -** The nnml and nnfolder backends store marks for each groups. +ANSI sequences are used in some Chinese hierarchies for highlighting +articles (`gnus-article-treat-ansi-sequences'). -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. +** International host names (IDNA) can now be decoded inside article +bodies using `W i' (`gnus-summary-idna-message'). This requires that +GNU Libidn (`http://www.gnu.org/software/libidn/') has been installed. -** The menu bar (in Group and Summary buffer) named "Misc" has been -renamed to "Gnus". +** Gnus includes an Emacs Lisp SASL library. -** The menu bar (in Message mode) named "MML" has been renamed to -"Attachments". +This provides 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-group-charset-alist and gnus-group-ignored-charsets-alist. +** ManageSieve connections uses the SASL library by default. -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: +The primary change this brings is support for DIGEST-MD5 and NTLM, +when the server supports it. - ("^han\\>" euc-kr) -> ("\\(^\\|:\\)han\\>" euc-kr) +** Gnus includes a password cache mechanism in password.el. -** Gnus supports PGP (RFC 1991/2440), PGP-MIME (RFC 2015/3156) and -SMIME. +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 back end, the 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. -** Gnus inlines external parts (message/external). +** IMAP identity (RFC 2971) is supported. -** MML (Mime compose) prefix changed from `M-m' to `C-c C-m'. +By default, Gnus does not send any information about itself, but you +can customize it using the variable `nnimap-id'. -This change was made to avoid conflict with the standard binding of -`back-to-indentation', which is also useful in message mode. +** The `all.SCORE' file can be edited from the group buffer using `W e'. - -* Changes in Pterodactyl Gnus (5.8/5.9) +** Gnus now MIME decodes articles even when they lack "MIME-Version" +header. This changes the default of `gnus-article-loose-mime'. + +** Gnus now views DNS master files sent as text/dns using dns-mode. -The Gnus NEWS entries are short, but they reflect sweeping changes in -four areas: Article display treatment, MIME treatment, -internationalization and mail-fetching. +** Gnus now support the "hashcash" client puzzle anti-spam idea. See +the Gnus manual, section Hashcash, for more information. Use `(setq +message-generate-hashcash t)' to enable. -** The mail-fetching functions have changed. See the manual for the -many details. In particular, all procmail fetching variables are gone. +** Gnus supports new limiting commands in the Summary buffer: `/ r' +(`gnus-summary-limit-to-replied') and `/ R' +(`gnus-summary-limit-to-recipient'). *Note Limiting::. -If you used procmail like in +** Gnus supports a new sort command in the Summary buffer: `C-c C-s C-t' +(`gnus-summary-sort-by-recipient'). *Note Summary Sorting::. -(setq nnmail-use-procmail t) -(setq nnmail-spool-file 'procmail) -(setq nnmail-procmail-directory "~/mail/incoming/") -(setq nnmail-procmail-suffix "\\.in") +** The `nnrss' back end now supports multilingual text. Non-ASCII group +names for the `nnrss' groups are also supported. *Note RSS::. -this now has changed to +** URLs inside OpenPGP: headers are retrieved and imported to your PGP +key ring when you click on them. -(setq mail-sources - '((directory :path "~/mail/incoming/" - :suffix ".in"))) +** Gnus uses narrowing to hide headers in Message buffers. The +`References' header is hidden by default. To make all headers +visible, use `(setq message-hidden-headers nil)'. -More information is available in the info doc at Select Methods -> -Getting Mail -> Mail Sources +** `gnus-decay-scores' can be a regexp matching score files. For +example, set it to `\\.ADAPT\\'' and only adaptive score files will +be decayed. *Note Score Decays::. -** 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. +** S/MIME now features LDAP user certificate searches. You need to +configure the server in `smime-ldap-host-list'. -** Gnus has also been multilingualized. This also affects too -many parts of Gnus to summarize here, and adds many new variables. +** Strings prefixing to the `To' and `Newsgroup' headers in summary +lines when using `gnus-ignored-from-addresses' can be customized with +`gnus-summary-to-prefix' and `gnus-summary-newsgroup-prefix'. *Note +To From Newsgroups::. -** gnus-auto-select-first can now be a function to be -called to position point. +** You can replace MIME parts with external bodies. See +`gnus-mime-replace-part' and `gnus-article-replace-part'. *Note MIME +Commands::, *Note Using MIME::. -** The user can now decide which extra headers should be included in -summary buffers and NOV files. +** Lisp files are now installed in .../site-lisp/gnus/ by default. It +defaulted to .../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 `make remove-installed-shadows'. -** `gnus-article-display-hook' has been removed. Instead, a number -of variables starting with `gnus-treat-' have been added. +** Retrieving mail with POP3 is supported over SSL/TLS and with StartTLS. -** The Gnus posting styles have been redone again and now works in a -subtly different manner. +** Having edited the select-method for the foreign server in the server +buffer is immediately reflected to the subscription of the groups +which use the server in question. For instance, if you change +`nntp-via-address' into `bar.example.com' from `foo.example.com', +Gnus will connect to the news host by way of the intermediate host +`bar.example.com' from next time. -** New web-based backends have been added: nnslashdot, nnwarchive -and nnultimate. nnweb has been revamped, again, to keep up with -ever-changing layouts. +** You can change the location of XEmacs' toolbars in Gnus buffers. See +`gnus-use-toolbar' and `message-use-toolbar'. -** Gnus can now read IMAP mail via nnimap. +** The nnml back end allows other compression programs beside `gzip' for +compressed message files. *Note Mail Spool::. * For older news, see Gnus info node "New Features". @@ -136,7 +152,8 @@ ever-changing layouts. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright information: -Copyright (C) 1999, 2000, 2001 Free Software Foundation, Inc. +Copyright (C) 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, + 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
