Please send Gnus bug reports to bugs@gnus.org. For older news, see Gnus info node "New Features". -* Changes in Oort Gnus - -** `gnus-group-read-ephemeral-group' can be called interactively, using `G M'. - -** In draft groups, `e' is now bound to `gnus-draft-edit-message'. -Use `B w' for `gnus-summary-edit-article' instead. - -** The revised Gnus FAQ is included in the manual. -See the info node "Frequently Asked Questions". - -** Upgrading from previous (stable) version if you have used Oort. - -If you have tried Oort (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 all -.marks (nnml) and .mrk (nnfolder) files, so that flags are read from -your ~/.newsrc.eld instead of from the .marks/.mrk file where this -release store flags. See a later entry for more information about -marks. Note that downgrading isn't safe in general. - -** Article Buttons - -More buttons for URLs, mail addresses, Message-IDs, Info links, man pages and -Emacs or Gnus related references, see the info node "Article Buttons". The -variables `gnus-button-*-level' can be used to control the appearance of all -article buttons, see the info node "Article Button Levels". - -** Dired integration - -`gnus-dired-minor-mode' installs key bindings in dired buffers to send a file -as an attachment (`C-c C-m C-a'), open a file using the approriate mailcap -entry (`C-c C-m C-l'), and print a file using the mailcap entry (`C-c C-m -C-p'). See the info node "Other modes". - - -** Gnus can display RSS newsfeeds as a newsgroup. To get started do `B -nnrss RET RET' in the Group buffer. - -** Single-part yenc encoded attachments can be decoded. - -** Picons -The picons code has been reimplemented to work in Emacs 21 -- some of -the previous options have been removed or renamed. - -Picons are small "personal icons" representing users, domain and -newsgroups, which can be displayed in the Article buffer. To enable -picons, install the picons database from - - http://www.cs.indiana.edu/picons/ftp/index.html - -and point `gnus-picon-databases' to that location. - -** If the new option `gnus-treat-body-boundary' is `head', a boundary -line is drawn at the end of the headers. - -** Retrieval of charters and control messages -There are new commands for fetching newsgroup charters (`H c') and -control messages (`H C'). - -** Delayed articles -You can delay the sending of a message with `C-c C-j' in the Message -buffer. The messages are delivered at specified time. This is useful -for sending yourself reminders. Setup with (gnus-delay-initialize). - -** If `auto-compression-mode' is enabled, attachments are automatically -decompressed when activated. - -** If the new option `nnml-use-compressed-files' is non-nil, -the nnml back end allows compressed message files. - -** Signed article headers (X-PGP-Sig) can be verified with `W p'. - -** The Summary Buffer uses an arrow in the fringe to indicate the -current article in Emacs 21 running on a graphical display. Customize -`gnus-summary-display-arrow' to disable it. - -** Warn about email replies to news -Do you often find yourself replying to news by email by mistake? Then -the new option `gnus-confirm-mail-reply-to-news' is just the thing for -you. - -** If the new option `gnus-summary-display-while-building' is non-nil, -the summary buffer is shown and updated as it's being built. - -** The new `recent' mark "." indicates newly arrived messages (as -opposed to old but unread messages). - -** The new option `gnus-gcc-mark-as-read' automatically marks -Gcc articles as read. - -** The nndoc back end now supports mailman digests and exim bounces. - -** Gnus supports RFC 2369 mailing list headers, and adds a number of -related commands in mailing list groups. - -** The Date header can be displayed in a format that can be read aloud -in English, see `gnus-treat-date-english'. - -** The envelope sender address can be customized when using Sendmail, see -`message-sendmail-envelope-from'. - -** diffs are automatically highlighted in groups matching -`mm-uu-diff-groups-regexp' - -** TLS wrapper shipped with Gnus - -TLS/SSL is now supported in IMAP and NNTP via tls.el and GNUTLS. The -old TLS/SSL support via (external third party) ssl.el and OpenSSL -still works. - -** 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, iff 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 superfluous, so it has been removed. - -** Support for non-ASCII domain names - -Message supports non-ASCII domain names in From:, To: and Cc: and will -query you whether to perform encoding when you try to send a message. -The variable `message-use-idna' controls this. Gnus will also decode -non-ASCII domain names in From:, To: and Cc: when you view a message. -The variable `gnus-use-idna' controls this. - -** Better handling of Microsoft citation styles - -Gnus now tries to recognize the mangled header block that some Microsoft -mailers use to indicate that the rest of the message is a citation, even -though it is not quoted in any way. The variable -`gnus-cite-unsightly-citation-regexp' matches the start of these -citations. - -** gnus-article-skip-boring - -If you set `gnus-article-skip-boring' to t, then Gnus will not scroll -down to show you a page that contains only boring text, which by -default means cited text and signature. You can customize what is -skippable using `gnus-article-boring-faces'. - -This feature is especially useful if you read many articles that -consist of a little new content at the top with a long, untrimmed -message cited below. - -** The format spec %C for positioning point has changed to %*. - -** The new variable `gnus-parameters' can be used to set group parameters. +* Installation changes + +** Upgrading from previous (stable) version if you have used No Gnus. + +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. + +** Incompatibility when switching from Emacs 23 to Emacs 22 In Emacs 23, +Gnus uses Emacs' new internal coding system `utf-8-emacs' for saving +articles drafts and `~/.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 `mm-auto-save-coding-system' to +`emacs-mule'. + +** 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'. + +** The installation directory name is allowed to have spaces and/or tabs. -Earlier this was done only via `G p' (or `G c'), which stored the -parameters in ~/.newsrc.eld, but via this variable you can enjoy the -powers of customize, and simplified backups since you set the variable -in ~/.emacs instead of ~/.newsrc.eld. The variable maps regular -expressions matching group names to group parameters, a'la: - - (setq gnus-parameters - '(("mail\\..*" - (gnus-show-threads nil) - (gnus-use-scoring nil)) - ("^nnimap:\\(foo.bar\\)$" - (to-group . "\\1")))) - -** Smileys (":-)", ";-)" etc) are now iconized for Emacs too. - -Customize `gnus-treat-display-smileys' to disable it. - -** Gnus no longer generates the Sender: header automatically. - -Earlier it was generated iff 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'. - -** Features from third party message-utils.el added to message.el. - -Message now asks if you wish to remove "(was: )" from -subject lines (see `message-subject-trailing-was-query'). C-c M-m and -C-c M-f inserts markers indicating included text. C-c C-f a adds a -X-No-Archive: header. C-c C-f x inserts appropriate headers and a -note in the body for cross-postings and followups (see the variables -`message-cross-post-*'). - -** References and X-Draft-Headers are no longer generated when you -start composing messages and `message-generate-headers-first' is nil. - -** Improved anti-spam features. - -Gnus is now able to take out spam from your mail and news streams -using a wide variety of programs and filter rules. Among the supported -methods are RBL blocklists, bogofilter and white/blacklists. Hooks -for easy use of external packages such as SpamAssassin and Hashcash -are also new. - -** Easy inclusion of X-Faces headers. - -** In the summary buffer, the new command / N inserts new messages and -/ o inserts old messages. - -** Gnus decodes morse encoded messages if you press W m. - -** Unread count correct in nnimap groups. - -The estimated number of unread articles in the group buffer should now -be correct for nnimap groups. This is achieved by calling -`nnimap-fixup-unread-after-getting-new-news' from the -`gnus-setup-news-hook' (called on startup) and -`gnus-after-getting-new-news-hook' (called after getting new mail). -If you have modified those variables from the default, you may want to -add n-f-u-a-g-n-n again. If you were happy with the estimate and want -to save some (minimal) time when getting new mail, remove the -function. - -** Group Carbon Copy (GCC) quoting - -To support groups that contains SPC and other weird characters, groups -are quoted before they are placed in the Gcc: header. This means -variables such as `gnus-message-archive-group' should no longer -contain quote characters to make groups containing SPC work. Also, if -you are using the string "nnml:foo, nnml:bar" (indicating Gcc into two -groups) you must change it to return the list ("nnml:foo" "nnml:bar"), -otherwise the Gcc: line will be quoted incorrectly. Note that -returning the string "nnml:foo, nnml:bar" was incorrect earlier, it -just didn't generate any problems since it was inserted directly. - -** ~/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. - -** gnus-agent - -The Gnus Agent has seen a major update. It is now enabled by default, -and all nntp and nnimap servers from `gnus-select-method' and -`gnus-secondary-select-method' are agentized by default. Earlier only -the server in `gnus-select-method' was agentized by the default, and the -agent was disabled by default. When the agent is enabled, headers are -now also retrieved from the Agent cache instead of the backends when -possible. Earlier this only happened in the unplugged state. You can -enroll or remove servers with `J a' and `J r' in the server buffer. -Gnus will not download articles into the Agent cache, unless you -instruct it to do so, though, by using `J u' or `J s' from the Group -buffer. You revert to the old behaviour of having the Agent disabled -by customizing `gnus-agent'. Note that putting `(gnus-agentize)' in -~/.gnus is not needed any more. - -** gnus-summary-line-format - -The default value changed to "%U%R%z%I%(%[%4L: %-23,23f%]%) %s\n". -Moreover `gnus-extra-headers', `nnmail-extra-headers' and -`gnus-ignored-from-addresses' changed their default so that the users -name will be replaced by the recipient's name or the group name -posting to for NNTP groups. - -** deuglify.el (gnus-article-outlook-deuglify-article) - -A new file from Raymond Scholz for deuglifying -broken Outlook (Express) articles. - -** (require 'gnus-load) - -If you use a stand-alone Gnus distribution, you'd better add -"(require 'gnus-load)" to 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. - -** gnus-slave-unplugged - -A new command which starts gnus offline in slave mode. - -** message-insinuate-rmail - -Adding (message-insinuate-rmail) in .emacs and customizing -`mail-user-agent' to `gnus-user-agent' convinces Rmail to compose, -reply and forward messages in Message mode, where you can enjoy the -power of MML. - -** message-minibuffer-local-map + +* New packages and libraries within Gnus -The line below enables BBDB in resending a message: +** Gnus includes the Emacs Lisp SASL library. -(define-key message-minibuffer-local-map [?\t] 'bbdb-complete-name) +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. *Note Emacs SASL: (sasl)Top. -** Externalizing and deleting of attachments. +** ManageSieve connections uses the SASL library by default. -If `gnus-gcc-externalize-attachments' (or -`message-fcc-externalize-attachments') is non-nil, attach local files -as external parts. +The primary change this brings is support for DIGEST-MD5 and NTLM, when +the server supports it. -The command `gnus-mime-save-part-and-strip' (bound to `C-o' on MIME -buttons) saves a part and replaces the part with an external one. -`gnus-mime-delete-part' (bound to `d' on MIME buttons) removes a part. -It works only on back ends that support editing. +** Gnus includes a password cache mechanism in password-cache.el. -** gnus-default-charset +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. -The default value now guesses on the basis of your environment instead -of using Latin-1. Also the ".*" item in gnus-group-charset-alist is -removed. +** Using EasyPG with Gnus When EasyPG, is available, Gnus will use it +instead of PGG. EasyPG is an Emacs user interface to GNU Privacy Guard. + *Note EasyPG Assistant user's manual: (epa)Top. EasyPG is included in +Emacs 23 and available separately as well. -** gnus-posting-styles + +* Changes in group mode -Add a new format of match like +** Old intermediate incoming mail files (`Incoming*') are deleted after a +couple of days, not immediately. *Note Mail Source Customization::. +(New in Gnus 5.10.10 / No Gnus 0.8) - ((header "to" "larsi.*org") - (Organization "Somewhere, Inc.")) -The old format like the lines below is obsolete, but still accepted. + +* Changes in summary and article mode - (header "to" "larsi.*org" - (Organization "Somewhere, Inc.")) +** Gnus now supports sticky article buffers. Those are article buffers +that are not reused when you select another article. *Note Sticky +Articles::. -** message-ignored-news-headers and message-ignored-mail-headers +** Gnus can selectively display `text/html' articles with a WWW browser +with `K H'. *Note MIME Commands::. -X-Draft-From and X-Gnus-Agent-Meta-Information have been added into -these two variables. If you customized those, perhaps you need add -those two headers too. +** 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. -** Gnus reads the NOV and articles in the Agent if plugged. +** 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::. -If one reads an article while plugged, and the article already exists -in the Agent, it won't get downloaded once more. Customize -`gnus-agent-cache' to revert to the old behavior. +** Gnus now displays DNS master files sent as text/dns using dns-mode. -** Gnus supports the "format=flowed" (RFC 2646) parameter. +** Gnus supports new limiting commands in the Summary buffer: `/ r' +(`gnus-summary-limit-to-replied') and `/ R' +(`gnus-summary-limit-to-recipient'). *Note Limiting::. -On composing messages, it is enabled by `use-hard-newlines'. Decoding -format=flowed was present but not documented in earlier versions. +** You can now fetch all ticked articles from the server using `Y t' +(`gnus-summary-insert-ticked-articles'). *Note Summary Generation +Commands::. -** Gnus supports the generation of RFC 2298 Disposition Notification requests. +** Gnus supports a new sort command in the Summary buffer: `C-c C-s C-t' +(`gnus-summary-sort-by-recipient'). *Note Summary Sorting::. -This is invoked with the C-c M-n key binding from message mode. +** S/MIME now features LDAP user certificate searches. You need to +configure the server in `smime-ldap-host-list'. -** Gnus supports Maildir groups. +** URLs inside OpenPGP headers are retrieved and imported to your PGP key +ring when you click on them. -Gnus includes a new backend nnmaildir.el. +** Picons can be displayed right from the textual address, see +`gnus-picon-style'. *Note Picons::. -** Printing capabilities are enhanced. +** ANSI SGR control sequences can be transformed using `W A'. -Gnus supports Muttprint natively with O P from the Summary and Article -buffers. Also, each individual MIME part can be printed using p on -the MIME button. +ANSI sequences are used in some Chinese hierarchies for highlighting +articles (`gnus-article-treat-ansi-sequences'). -** Message supports the Importance: (RFC 2156) header. +** Gnus now MIME decodes articles even when they lack "MIME-Version" header. +This changes the default of `gnus-article-loose-mime'. -In the message buffer, `C-c C-f C-i' or `C-c C-u' cycles through the -valid values. +** `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 supports Cancel Locks in News. +** 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::. -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 and -superseding). Gnus generates a random password string the first time -you post a message, and saves it using the Custom system. While the -variable is called `canlock-password', it is not security sensitive -data. Publishing your canlock string on the web will not allow anyone -to be able to anything she could not already do. The behaviour can be -changed by customizing `message-insert-canlock'. +** You can replace MIME parts with external bodies. See +`gnus-mime-replace-part' and `gnus-article-replace-part'. *Note MIME +Commands::, *note Using MIME::. -** Gnus supports server-side mail filtering using Sieve. +** 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. *Note Flowed text: (emacs-mime)Flowed text. +(New in Gnus 5.10.7) -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. +** Now the new command `S W' (`gnus-article-wide-reply-with-original') for +a wide reply in the article buffer yanks a text that is in the active +region, if it is set, as well as the `R' +(`gnus-article-reply-with-original') command. Note that the `R' command +in the article buffer no longer accepts a prefix argument, which was +used to make it do a wide reply. *Note Article Keymap::. -** Extended format specs. +** The new command `C-h b' (`gnus-article-describe-bindings') used in the +article buffer now shows not only the article commands but also the real +summary commands that are accessible from the article buffer. -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. -** `/ *' (gnus-summary-limit-include-cached) is rewritten. + +* Changes in Message mode -It was aliased to `Y c' (gnus-summary-insert-cached-articles). The new -function filters out other articles. +** Gnus now supports the "hashcash" client puzzle anti-spam mechanism. Use +`(setq message-generate-hashcash t)' to enable. *Note Hashcash::. -** Some limiting commands accept a C-u prefix to negate the match. +** 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. -If C-u is used on subject, author or extra headers, i.e., `/ s', `/ -a', and `/ x' (gnus-summary-limit-to-{subject,author,extra}) -respectively, the result will be to display all articles that do not -match the expression. +** The option `message-yank-empty-prefix' now controls how empty lines are +prefixed in cited text. *Note Insertion Variables: (message)Insertion +Variables. -** Group names are treated as UTF-8 by default. +** 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)'. *Note Message Headers: +(message)Message Headers. -This is supposedly what USEFOR wanted to migrate to. See -`gnus-group-name-charset-group-alist' and -`gnus-group-name-charset-method-alist' for customization. +** You can highlight different levels of citations like in the article +buffer. See `gnus-message-highlight-citation'. -** The nnml and nnfolder backends store marks for each group. +** `auto-fill-mode' is enabled by default in Message mode. See +`message-fill-column'. *Note Message Headers: (message)Various Message +Variables. -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. +** You can now store signature files in a special directory named +`message-signature-directory'. -** The menu bar item (in Group and Summary buffer) named "Misc" has -been renamed to "Gnus". +** 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-formatted-citation-line' as well. -** The menu bar item (in Message mode) named "MML" has been renamed to -"Attachments". Note that this menu also contains security related -stuff, like signing and encryption. + +* Changes in back ends -** gnus-group-charset-alist and gnus-group-ignored-charsets-alist. +** The nntp back end stores article marks in `~/News/marks'. -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 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'. - ("^han\\>" euc-kr) -> ("\\(^\\|:\\)han\\>" euc-kr) +** You can import and export your RSS subscriptions from OPML files. *Note +RSS::. -** Gnus supports PGP (RFC 1991/2440), PGP/MIME (RFC 2015/3156) and -S/MIME (RFC 2630-2633). +** IMAP identity (RFC 2971) is supported. -It needs an external S/MIME and OpenPGP implementation, but no -additional lisp libraries. This add several menu items to the -Attachments menu, and C-c RET key bindings, when composing messages. -This also obsoletes `gnus-article-hide-pgp-hook'. +By default, Gnus does not send any information about itself, but you can +customize it using the variable `nnimap-id'. -** Gnus inlines external parts (message/external). +** The `nnrss' back end now supports multilingual text. Non-ASCII group +names for the `nnrss' groups are also supported. *Note RSS::. -** MML (Mime compose) prefix changed from `M-m' to `C-c C-m'. +** Retrieving mail with POP3 is supported over SSL/TLS and with StartTLS. -This change was made to avoid conflict with the standard binding of -`back-to-indentation', which is also useful in message mode. +** The nnml back end allows other compression programs beside `gzip' for +compressed message files. *Note Mail Spool::. -** The default for message-forward-show-mml changed to symbol best. +** The nnml back end supports group compaction. -The behaviour for the `best' value is to show MML (i.e., convert MIME -to MML) when appropriate. MML will not be used when forwarding signed -or encrypted messages, as the conversion invalidate the digital -signature. +This feature, accessible via the functions `gnus-group-compact-group' +(`G z' in the group buffer) and `gnus-server-compact-server' (`z' in the +server buffer) renumbers all articles in a group, starting from 1 and +removing gaps. As a consequence, you get a correct total article count +(until messages are deleted again). -** Bug fixes. -* Changes in Pterodactyl Gnus (5.8/5.9) - -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. - -If you used procmail like in - -(setq nnmail-use-procmail t) -(setq nnmail-spool-file 'procmail) -(setq nnmail-procmail-directory "~/mail/incoming/") -(setq nnmail-procmail-suffix "\\.in") +* Appearance -this now has changed to +** The tool bar has been updated to use GNOME icons. You can also +customize the tool bars: `M-x customize-apropos RET -tool-bar$' should +get you started. (Only for Emacs, not in XEmacs.) -(setq mail-sources - '((directory :path "~/mail/incoming/" - :suffix ".in"))) +** The tool bar icons are now (de)activated correctly in the group buffer, +see the variable `gnus-group-update-tool-bar'. Its default value +depends on your Emacs version. -More information is available in the info doc at Select Methods -> -Getting Mail -> Mail Sources +** You can change the location of XEmacs' toolbars in Gnus buffers. See +`gnus-use-toolbar' and `message-use-toolbar'. -** 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. -** Gnus has also been multilingualized. This also affects too -many parts of Gnus to summarize here, and adds many new variables. - -** gnus-auto-select-first can now be a function to be -called to position point. - -** The user can now decide which extra headers should be included in -summary buffers and NOV files. + +* Miscellaneous changes -** `gnus-article-display-hook' has been removed. Instead, a number -of variables starting with `gnus-treat-' have been added. +** 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. -** The Gnus posting styles have been redone again and now works in a -subtly different manner. +** The `all.SCORE' file can be edited from the group buffer using `W e'. -** 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 set `gnus-mark-copied-or-moved-articles-as-expirable' to a +non-`nil' value so that articles that have been read may be marked as +expirable automatically when copying or moving them to a group that has +auto-expire turned on. The default is `nil' and copying and moving of +articles behave as before; i.e., the expirable marks will be unchanged +except that the marks will be removed when copying or moving articles to +a group that has not turned auto-expire on. *Note Expiring Mail::. -** Gnus can now read IMAP mail via nnimap. * For older news, see Gnus info node "New Features". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -Copyright information: + +This file is part of GNU Emacs. + +GNU Emacs is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify +it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by +the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or +(at your option) any later version. -Copyright (C) 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 Free Software Foundation, Inc. +GNU Emacs is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, +but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of +MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
