+@item Incompatibility when switching from Emacs 23 to Emacs 22
+In Emacs 23, Gnus uses Emacs' new internal coding system @code{utf-8-emacs}
+for saving articles drafts and @file{~/.newsrc.eld}. These files may not
+be read correctly in Emacs 22 and below. If you want to use Gnus across
+different Emacs versions, you may set @code{mm-auto-save-coding-system}
+to @code{emacs-mule}.
+@c FIXME: Untested. (Or did anyone test it?)
+@c Cf. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.general/66251/focus=66344

@item Lisp files are now installed in @file{.../site-lisp/gnus/} by default.
It defaulted to @file{.../site-lisp/} formerly. In addition to this,
the new installer issues a warning if other Gnus installations which
shadows manually or remove them using @code{make
remove-installed-shadows}.
-@item
-New @file{make.bat} for compiling and installing Gnus under MS Windows.
-
-Use @file{make.bat} if you want to install Gnus under MS Windows, the
-first argument to the batch-program should be the directory where
-@file{xemacs.exe} respectively @file{emacs.exe} is located, if you want
-to install Gnus after compiling it, give @file{make.bat} @code{/copy} as
-the second parameter.
-
-@file{make.bat} has been rewritten from scratch, it now features
-automatic recognition of XEmacs and GNU Emacs, generates
-@file{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 @code{makeinfo} if it is available and falls
-back to @file{infohack.el} otherwise. @file{make.bat} should now
-install all files which are necessary to run Gnus and be generally a
-complete replacement for the @code{configure; make; make install}
-cycle used under Unix systems.
-
-The new @file{make.bat} makes @file{make-x.bat} and @file{xemacs.mak}
-superfluous, so they have been removed.
-
-@item @file{~/News/overview/} not used.
-
-As a result of the following change, the @file{~/News/overview/}
-directory is not used any more. You can safely delete the entire
-hierarchy.

-@c FIXME: `gnus-load' is mentioned in README, which is not included in

-@item
-@code{(require 'gnus-load)}
-
-If you use a stand-alone Gnus distribution, you'd better add
-@code{(require 'gnus-load)} into your @file{~/.emacs} after adding the Gnus
-lisp directory into load-path.
-
-File @file{gnus-load.el} contains autoload commands, functions and variables,
-some of which may not be included in distributions of Emacsen.
+@item The installation directory name is allowed to have spaces and/or tabs.

+When EasyPG, is available, Gnus will use it instead of @acronym{PGG}.
+EasyPG is an Emacs user interface to GNU Privacy Guard. @xref{Top,
+,EasyPG Assistant user's manual, epa, EasyPG Assistant user's manual}.

-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
