@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 stores article marks in @file{~/News/marks}.
-
-The directory can be changed using the (customizable) variable
-@code{nntp-marks-directory}, and marks can be disabled using the
-(back end) 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
-Picons can be displayed right from the textual address, see

-You can import and export your @acronym{RSS} subscriptions from
-@acronym{OPML} files. @xref{RSS}.
-

-using @kbd{W A}.
+@item Lisp files are now installed in .../site-lisp/gnus/ by default.
+It defaulted to .../site-lisp/ formerly. In addition to this, the new

+@item Major new features in No Gnus
+@itemize @bullet
@item International host names (@acronym{IDNA}) can now be decoded

about whether to do so.
-@item @acronym{IMAP} identity (@acronym{RFC} 2971) is supported.

@item The @file{all.SCORE} file can be edited from the group buffer
using @kbd{W e}.
-@item Gnus now MIME decodes articles even when they lack "MIME-Version" header.
