** 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'

** 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.



* Changes in back ends

** Gnus can display RSS newsfeeds as a newsgroup.  *Note RSS::.

** 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 (*note Security: (message)Security.).

** The tool bars have been updated to use GNOME icons in Group, Summary and
Message mode.  You can also customize the tool bars.  This is a new
feature in Gnus 5.10.9.  (Only for Emacs, not in XEmacs.)

** 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.  This is a new feature in Gnus 5.10.9.
