-** Gnus changes.
-
-The Gnus NEWS entries are short, but they reflect sweeping changes in
-four areas: Article display treatment, MIME treatment,
-internationalization and mail-fetching.
-
-*** The mail-fetching functions have changed. See the manual for the
-many details. In particular, all procmail fetching variables are gone.

+* Changes in No Gnus
-If you used procmail like in
+** Gnus includes an Emacs Lisp SASL library.
-(setq nnmail-use-procmail t)
-(setq nnmail-spool-file 'procmail)
-(setq nnmail-procmail-directory "~/mail/incoming/")
-(setq nnmail-procmail-suffix "\\.in")
+This provide 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.
-this now has changed to
+** ManageSieve connections uses the SASL library by default.
-(setq mail-sources
- '((directory :path "~/mail/incoming/"
- :suffix ".in")))
+The primary change this brings is support for DIGEST-MD5 and NTLM,
+when the server support it.

-Gnus, and adds a slew of new commands. See the manual for details.
+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 backend, the PGP passphrase is managed by this mechanism.
+Passwords for ManageSieve connections are managed by this mechanism,
+after quering the user about whether to do so.
-*** Gnus has also been multilingualized. This also affects too
-many parts of Gnus to summarize here, and adds many new variables.
+** IMAP identity (RFC 2971) is supported.
-*** gnus-auto-select-first can now be a function to be
-called to position point.
+By default, Gnus do not send any information about itself, but you can
+customize it using `nnimap-id'.
-*** The user can now decide which extra headers should be included in
-summary buffers and NOV files.
+** The "all.SCORE" file can now be edited from the group buffer using `W e'.
-*** `gnus-article-display-hook' has been removed. Instead, a number
-of variables starting with `gnus-treat-' have been added.
+\f
+* For older news, see Gnus info node "New Features".
-*** The Gnus posting styles have been redone again and now works in a
-subtly different manner.
