GNUS NEWS -- history of user-visible changes.Copyright (C) 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.See the end of the file for license conditions.Please send Gnus bug reports to bugs@gnus.org.For older news, see Gnus info node "New Features".* 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 thisrelease) but went back to a stable version, be careful when upgrading tothis version. In particular, you will probably want to remove the`~/News/marks' directory (perhaps selectively), so that flags are readfrom your `~/.newsrc.eld' instead of from the stale marks file, wherethis release will store flags for nntp. See a later entry for moreinformation about nntp marks. Note that downgrading isn't safe ingeneral.** Incompatibility when switching from Emacs 23 to Emacs 22 In Emacs 23,Gnus uses Emacs' new internal coding system `utf-8-emacs' for savingarticles drafts and `~/.newsrc.eld'. These files may not be readcorrectly in Emacs 22 and below. If you want to use Gnus acrossdifferent Emacs versions, you may set `mm-auto-save-coding-system' to`emacs-mule'.** Lisp files are now installed in `.../site-lisp/gnus/' by default. Itdefaulted to `.../site-lisp/' formerly. In addition to this, the newinstaller issues a warning if other Gnus installations which will shadowthe latest one are detected. You can then remove those shadows manuallyor remove them using `make remove-installed-shadows'.** The installation directory name is allowed to have spaces and/or tabs.* New packages and libraries within Gnus** Gnus includes the Emacs Lisp SASL library.This provides a clean API to SASL mechanisms from within Emacs. Theuser visible aspects of this, compared to the earlier situation, includesupport for DIGEST-MD5 and NTLM. *Note Emacs SASL: (sasl)Top.** ManageSieve connections uses the SASL library by default.The primary change this brings is support for DIGEST-MD5 and NTLM, whenthe server supports it.** Gnus includes a password cache mechanism in password.el.It is enabled by default (see `password-cache'), with a short timeout of16 seconds (see `password-cache-expiry'). If PGG is used as the PGPback end, the PGP passphrase is managed by this mechanism. Passwordsfor ManageSieve connections are managed by this mechanism, afterquerying the user about whether to do so.** Using EasyPG with Gnus When EasyPG, is available, Gnus will use itinstead of PGG. EasyPG is an Emacs user interface to GNU Privacy Guard. *Note EasyPG Assistant user's manual: (epa)Top. EasyPG is included inEmacs 23 and available separately as well.* Changes in group mode** Old intermediate incoming mail files (`Incoming*') are deleted after acouple of days, not immediately. *Note Mail Source Customization::.(New in Gnus 5.10.10 / Emacs 22.2)* Changes in summary and article mode** Gnus now supports sticky article buffers. Those are article buffersthat are not reused when you select another article. *Note StickyArticles::.** Gnus can selectively display `text/html' articles with a WWW browserwith `K H'. *Note MIME Commands::.** International host names (IDNA) can now be decoded inside article bodiesusing `W i' (`gnus-summary-idna-message'). This requires that GNU Libidn(<http://www.gnu.org/software/libidn/>) has been installed.** The non-ASCII group names handling has been much improved. The backends that fully support non-ASCII group names are now `nntp', `nnml',and `nnrss'. Also the agent, the cache, and the marks features workwith those back ends. *Note Non-ASCII Group Names::.** Gnus now displays DNS master files sent as text/dns using dns-mode.** Gnus supports new limiting commands in the Summary buffer: `/ r'(`gnus-summary-limit-to-replied') and `/ R'(`gnus-summary-limit-to-recipient'). *Note Limiting::.** You can now fetch all ticked articles from the server using `Y t'(`gnus-summary-insert-ticked-articles'). *Note Summary GenerationCommands::.** Gnus supports a new sort command in the Summary buffer: `C-c C-s C-t'(`gnus-summary-sort-by-recipient'). *Note Summary Sorting::.** S/MIME now features LDAP user certificate searches. You need toconfigure the server in `smime-ldap-host-list'.** URLs inside OpenPGP headers are retrieved and imported to your PGP keyring when you click on them.** Picons can be displayed right from the textual address, see`gnus-picon-style'. *Note Picons::.** ANSI SGR control sequences can be transformed using `W A'.ANSI sequences are used in some Chinese hierarchies for highlightingarticles (`gnus-article-treat-ansi-sequences').** Gnus now MIME decodes articles even when they lack "MIME-Version" header.This changes the default of `gnus-article-loose-mime'.** `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::.** Strings prefixing to the `To' and `Newsgroup' headers in summary lineswhen using `gnus-ignored-from-addresses' can be customized with`gnus-summary-to-prefix' and `gnus-summary-newsgroup-prefix'. *Note ToFrom Newsgroups::.** You can replace MIME parts with external bodies. See`gnus-mime-replace-part' and `gnus-article-replace-part'. *Note MIMECommands::, *Note Using MIME::.** The option `mm-fill-flowed' can be used to disable treatment offormat=flowed messages. Also, flowed text is disabled when sendinginline PGP signed messages. *Note Flowed text: (emacs-mime)Flowed text.(New in Gnus 5.10.7)** Now the new command `S W' (`gnus-article-wide-reply-with-original') fora wide reply in the article buffer yanks a text that is in the activeregion, if it is set, as well as the `R'(`gnus-article-reply-with-original') command. Note that the `R' commandin the article buffer no longer accepts a prefix argument, which wasused to make it do a wide reply. *Note Article Keymap::.** The new command `C-h b' (`gnus-article-describe-bindings') used in thearticle buffer now shows not only the article commands but also the realsummary commands that are accessible from the article buffer.* Changes in Message mode** Gnus now supports the "hashcash" client puzzle anti-spam mechanism. Use`(setq message-generate-hashcash t)' to enable. *Note Hashcash::.** 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.** The option `message-yank-empty-prefix' now controls how empty lines areprefixed in cited text. *Note Insertion Variables: (message)InsertionVariables.** 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.** You can highlight different levels of citations like in the articlebuffer. See `gnus-message-highlight-citation'.** `auto-fill-mode' is enabled by default in Message mode. See`message-fill-column'. *Note Message Headers: (message)Various MessageVariables.** You can now store signature files in a special directory named`message-signature-directory'.** 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.* Changes in back ends** The nntp back end stores article marks in `~/News/marks'.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 cancopy `~/News/marks' (using rsync, scp or whatever) to another Gnusinstallation, and it will realize what articles you have read andmarked. The data in `~/News/marks' has priority over the same data in`~/.newsrc.eld'.** You can import and export your RSS subscriptions from OPML files. *NoteRSS::.** IMAP identity (RFC 2971) is supported.By default, Gnus does not send any information about itself, but you cancustomize it using the variable `nnimap-id'.** The `nnrss' back end now supports multilingual text. Non-ASCII groupnames for the `nnrss' groups are also supported. *Note RSS::.** Retrieving mail with POP3 is supported over SSL/TLS and with StartTLS.** The nnml back end allows other compression programs beside `gzip' forcompressed message files. *Note Mail Spool::.** The nnml back end supports group compaction.This feature, accessible via the functions `gnus-group-compact-group'(`G z' in the group buffer) and `gnus-server-compact-server' (`z' in theserver buffer) renumbers all articles in a group, starting from 1 andremoving gaps. As a consequence, you get a correct total article count(until messages are deleted again).* Appearance** The tool bar has been updated to use GNOME icons. You can alsocustomize the tool bars: `M-x customize-apropos RET -tool-bar$' shouldget you started. (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 valuedepends on your Emacs version.** You can change the location of XEmacs' toolbars in Gnus buffers. See`gnus-use-toolbar' and `message-use-toolbar'.* Miscellaneous changes** Having edited the select-method for the foreign server in the serverbuffer is immediately reflected to the subscription of the groups whichuse the server in question. For instance, if you change`nntp-via-address' into `bar.example.com' from `foo.example.com', Gnuswill connect to the news host by way of the intermediate host`bar.example.com' from next time.** The `all.SCORE' file can be edited from the group buffer using `W e'.* For older news, see Gnus info node "New Features".----------------------------------------------------------------------This file is part of GNU Emacs.GNU Emacs is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modifyit under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published bythe Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or(at your option) any later version.GNU Emacs is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty ofMERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
