-* Changes in Oort Gnus
+* Installation changes
 
-** `F' (`gnus-article-followup-with-original') and `R'
-(`gnus-article-reply-with-original') only yank the text in the region if the
-region is active.
+** Upgrading from previous (stable) version if you have used Oort.
 
-** `gnus-group-read-ephemeral-group' can be called interactively, using `G M'.
+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 save in general.
 
-** In draft groups, `e' is now bound to `gnus-draft-edit-message'.
-Use `B w' for `gnus-summary-edit-article' instead.
+** 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'.
+
+** 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.
 
-** The revised Gnus FAQ is included in the manual.
-See the info node "Frequently Asked Questions".
+`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.
 
-** Upgrading from previous (stable) version if you have used Oort.
+The new `make.bat' makes `make-x.bat' and `xemacs.mak' superfluous, so
+they have been removed.
 
-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.
+** `~/News/overview/' not used.
 
-** Article Buttons
+As a result of the following change, the `~/News/overview/' directory is
+not used any more.  You can safely delete the entire hierarchy.
 
-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".
+** `(require 'gnus-load)'
 
-** Dired integration
+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.
 
-`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".
+File `gnus-load.el' contains autoload commands, functions and variables,
+some of which may not be included in distributions of Emacsen.
 
 
-** 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.
+* New packages and libraries within Gnus
 
-** Picons
-The picons code has been reimplemented to work in Emacs 21 -- some of
-the previous options have been removed or renamed.
+** The revised Gnus FAQ is included in the manual, *Note Frequently Asked
+Questions::.
 
-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
+** 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.
 
-      http://www.cs.indiana.edu/picons/ftp/index.html
+** Improved anti-spam features.
 
-and point `gnus-picon-databases' to that location.
+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.  *Note Thwarting Email Spam::.
 
-** If the new option `gnus-treat-body-boundary' is `head', a boundary
-line is drawn at the end of the headers.
+** Gnus supports server-side mail filtering using Sieve.
+
+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.  *Note Sieve Commands::, and the new Sieve manual *Note Top:
+(sieve)Top.
+
+
+
+* Changes in group mode
+
+** `gnus-group-read-ephemeral-group' can be called interactively, using `G
+M'.
 
 ** 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).
+** The new variable `gnus-parameters' can be used to set group parameters.
 
-** If `auto-compression-mode' is enabled, attachments are automatically
-decompressed when activated.
+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 `~/.gnus.el' 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"))))
 
-** If the new option `nnml-use-compressed-files' is non-nil,
-the nnml back end allows compressed message files.
+** Unread count correct in nnimap groups.
 
-** Signed article headers (X-PGP-Sig) can be verified with `W p'.
+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
+`nnimap-fixup-unread-after-getting-new-news' again.  If you were happy
+with the estimate and want to save some (minimal) time when getting new
+mail, remove the function.
 
-** 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.
+** Group names are treated as UTF-8 by default.
 
-** 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.
+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.
 
-** If the new option `gnus-summary-display-while-building' is non-nil,
-the summary buffer is shown and updated as it's being built.
+** `gnus-group-charset-alist' and `gnus-group-ignored-charsets-alist'.
 
-** The new `recent' mark "." indicates newly arrived messages (as
-opposed to old but unread messages).
+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:
+("^han\\>" euc-kr) -> ("\\(^\\|:\\)han\\>" euc-kr)
 
-** 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.
+* Changes in summary and article mode
 
-** The Date header can be displayed in a format that can be read aloud
-in English, see `gnus-treat-date-english'.
+** `F' (`gnus-article-followup-with-original') and `R'
+(`gnus-article-reply-with-original') only yank the text in the region if
+the region is active.
 
-** The envelope sender address can be customized when using Sendmail, see
-`message-sendmail-envelope-from'.
+** In draft groups, `e' is now bound to `gnus-draft-edit-message'.  Use `B
+w' for `gnus-summary-edit-article' instead.
 
-** diffs are automatically highlighted in groups matching
-`mm-uu-diff-groups-regexp'
+** Article Buttons
 
-** TLS wrapper shipped with Gnus
+More buttons for URLs, mail addresses, Message-IDs, Info links, man
+pages and Emacs or Gnus related references.  *Note Article Buttons::.
+The variables `gnus-button-*-level' can be used to control the
+appearance of all article buttons.  *Note Article Button Levels::.
 
-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.
+** Single-part yenc encoded attachments can be decoded.
 
-** New make.bat for compiling and installing Gnus under MS Windows
+** Picons
 
-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.

+Picons are small "personal icons" representing users, domain and
+newsgroups, which can be displayed in the Article buffer.  *Note
+Picons::.
 
-The new make.bat makes make-x.bat superfluous, so it has been removed.
+** If the new option `gnus-treat-body-boundary' is non-`nil', a boundary
+line is drawn at the end of the headers.
 
-** Support for non-ASCII domain names
+** Signed article headers (X-PGP-Sig) can be verified with `W p'.
 
-Message supports non-ASCII domain names in From:, To: and Cc: and will
-encode them 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.
+** The Summary Buffer uses an arrow in the fringe to indicate the current
+article.  Use `(setq gnus-summary-display-arrow nil)' 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.

+to old but unread messages).
+

 `gnus-cite-unsightly-citation-regexp' matches the start of these
 citations.
 
-** gnus-article-skip-boring
+The new command `W Y f' (`gnus-article-outlook-deuglify-article') allows
+deuglifying broken Outlook (Express) articles.
 
-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'.

-** Smileys (":-)", ";-)" etc) are now iconized for Emacs too.
+** Face headers handling.  *Note Face::.
 
-Customize `gnus-treat-display-smileys' to disable it.
+** In the summary buffer, the new command `/ N' inserts new messages and `/
+o' inserts old messages.
 
-** Gnus no longer generates the Sender: header automatically.
+** Gnus decodes morse encoded messages if you press `W m'.
 
-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.
+** `gnus-summary-line-format'
 
-Message now asks if you wish to remove "(was: <old subject>)" 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-*').
+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.
 
-** References and X-Draft-Headers are no longer generated when you
-start composing messages and `message-generate-headers-first' is nil.
+** Deleting of attachments.
 
-** Improved anti-spam features.
+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 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.
+** `gnus-default-charset'
 
-** Easy inclusion of X-Faces headers.
+The default value is determined from the `current-language-environment'
+variable, instead of `iso-8859-1'.  Also the `.*' item in
+`gnus-group-charset-alist' is removed.
 
-** In the summary buffer, the new command / N inserts new messages and
-/ o inserts old messages.
+** Printing capabilities are enhanced.
 
-** Gnus decodes morse encoded messages if you press W m.
+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.
 
-** Unread count correct in nnimap groups.
+** Extended format specs.
 
-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.
+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.
 
-** Group Carbon Copy (GCC) quoting
+** `/ *' (`gnus-summary-limit-include-cached') is rewritten.
 
-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.
+It was aliased to `Y c' (`gnus-summary-insert-cached-articles').  The
+new function filters out other articles.
 
-** ~/News/overview/ not used.
+** Some limiting commands accept a `C-u' prefix to negate the match.
 
-As a result of the following change, the ~/News/overview/ directory is
-not used any more.  You can safely delete the entire hierarchy.
+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.
 
-** gnus-agent
+** Gnus inlines external parts (message/external).
 
-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.
+* Changes in Message mode and related Gnus features
 
-** deuglify.el (gnus-article-outlook-deuglify-article)
+** Delayed articles
 
-A new file from Raymond Scholz <address@hidden> for deuglifying
-broken Outlook (Express) 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.  *Note Delayed Articles::.
 
-** (require 'gnus-load)
+** If the new option `nnml-use-compressed-files' is non-`nil', the nnml
+back end allows compressed message files.
 
-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.
+** The new option `gnus-gcc-mark-as-read' automatically marks Gcc articles
+as read.
 
-File gnus-load.el contains autoload commands, functions and variables,
-some of which may not be included in distributions of Emacsen.
+** Externalizing of attachments
 
-** gnus-slave-unplugged
+If `gnus-gcc-externalize-attachments' or
+`message-fcc-externalize-attachments' is non-`nil', attach local files
+as external parts.
 
-A new command which starts gnus offline in slave mode.
+** The envelope sender address can be customized when using Sendmail.
+ *Note Mail Variables: (message)Mail Variables.
 
-** message-insinuate-rmail
+** Gnus no longer generate the Sender: header automatically.
 
-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.
+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'.
 
-** message-minibuffer-local-map
+** Features from third party `message-utils.el' added to `message.el'.
 
-The line below enables BBDB in resending a message:
+Message now asks if you wish to remove `(was: <old subject>)' 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-*').
 
-(define-key message-minibuffer-local-map [?\t] 'bbdb-complete-name)
+** References and X-Draft-From headers are no longer generated when you
+start composing messages and `message-generate-headers-first' is `nil'.
 
-** Externalizing and deleting of attachments.
+** Easy inclusion of X-Faces headers.  *Note X-Face::.
 
-If `gnus-gcc-externalize-attachments' (or
-`message-fcc-externalize-attachments') is non-nil, attach local files
-as external parts.
+** 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.

+The Gnus Agent has seen a major updated and 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 back ends 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 behavior of having the Agent disabled
+with `(setq gnus-agent nil)'.  Note that putting `(gnus-agentize)' in
+`~/.gnus.el' is not needed any more.
 
-** 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 reads the NOV and articles in the Agent if plugged.
 
-** Gnus has also been multilingualized.  This also affects too
-many parts of Gnus to summarize here, and adds many new variables.
+If one reads an article while plugged, and the article already exists in
+the Agent, it won't get downloaded once more.  `(setq gnus-agent-cache
+nil)' reverts to the old behavior.
 
-** gnus-auto-select-first can now be a function to be
-called to position point.
+** Dired integration
 
-** The user can now decide which extra headers should be included in
-summary buffers and NOV files.
+`gnus-dired-minor-mode' (see *Note Other modes::) installs key bindings
+in dired buffers to send a file as an attachment, open a file using the
+appropriate mailcap entry, and print a file using the mailcap entry.
 
-** `gnus-article-display-hook' has been removed.  Instead, a number
-of variables starting with `gnus-treat-' have been added.
+** The format spec `%C' for positioning point has changed to `%*'.
 
-** The Gnus posting styles have been redone again and now works in a
-subtly different manner.
+** `gnus-slave-unplugged'
 
-** New web-based backends have been added: nnslashdot, nnwarchive
-and nnultimate.  nnweb has been revamped, again, to keep up with
-ever-changing layouts.
+A new command which starts Gnus offline in slave mode.
 
-** Gnus can now read IMAP mail via nnimap.
