the latest one are detected. You can then remove those shadows manually
or remove them using `make remove-installed-shadows'.
-** New `make.bat' for compiling and installing Gnus under MS Windows
-
-Use `make.bat' if you want to install Gnus under MS Windows, the first
-argument to the batch-program should be the directory where `xemacs.exe'
-respectively `emacs.exe' is located, if you want to install Gnus after
-compiling it, give `make.bat' `/copy' as the second parameter.
-
-`make.bat' has been rewritten from scratch, it now features automatic
-recognition of XEmacs and GNU Emacs, generates `gnus-load.el', checks if
-errors occur while compilation and generation of info files and reports
-them at the end of the build process. It now uses `makeinfo' if it is
-available and falls back to `infohack.el' otherwise. `make.bat' should
-now install all files which are necessary to run Gnus and be generally a
-complete replacement for the `configure; make; make install' cycle used
-under Unix systems.
-
-The new `make.bat' makes `make-x.bat' and `xemacs.mak' superfluous, so
-they have been removed.
-
-** `~/News/overview/' not used.
-
-As a result of the following change, the `~/News/overview/' directory is
-not used any more. You can safely delete the entire hierarchy.
-
-** `(require 'gnus-load)'
-
-If you use a stand-alone Gnus distribution, you'd better add `(require
-'gnus-load)' into your `~/.emacs' after adding the Gnus lisp directory
-into load-path.
-
-File `gnus-load.el' contains autoload commands, functions and variables,
-some of which may not be included in distributions of Emacsen.

\f
* New packages and libraries within Gnus
\f
* Changes in summary and article mode
+** Gnus now supports sticky article buffers. Those are article buffers
+that are not reused when you select another article. *Note Sticky
+Articles::.
+
** 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 non-ASCII group names handling has been much improved. The back
+ends that fully support non-ASCII group names are now `nntp', `nnml',
+and `nnrss'. Also the agent, the cache, and the marks features work
+with those back ends. *Note Non-ASCII Group Names::.
+
** Gnus now displays DNS master files sent as text/dns using dns-mode.
** Gnus supports new limiting commands in the Summary buffer: `/ r'
** You can replace MIME parts with external bodies. See
`gnus-mime-replace-part' and `gnus-article-replace-part'. *Note MIME
-Commands::, *Note Using MIME::.
+Commands::, *note Using MIME::.
** The option `mm-fill-flowed' can be used to disable treatment of
format=flowed messages. Also, flowed text is disabled when sending
`message-fill-column'. *Note Message Headers: (message)Various Message
Variables.
+** You can now store signature files in a special directory named
+`message-signature-directory'.
+
+** The option `message-citation-line-format' controls the format of the
+"Whomever writes:" line. You need to set
+`message-citation-line-function' to
+`message-insert-formated-citation-line' as well.
\f
* Changes in back ends
** The nntp back end stores article marks in `~/News/marks'.
-Earlier it was generated when the user configurable email address was
-different from the Gnus guessed default user address. As the guessing
-algorithm is rarely correct these days, and (more controversially) the
-only use of the Sender: header was to check if you are entitled to
-cancel/supersede news (which is now solved by Cancel Locks instead, see
-another entry), generation of the header has been disabled by default.
-See the variables `message-required-headers',
-`message-required-news-headers', and `message-required-mail-headers'.
+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'.
** You can import and export your RSS subscriptions from OPML files. *Note
RSS::.
