Merge changes made in Gnus master ever since feature freeze
::::::::::::::::: ::: doc/misc/ ::: ::::::::::::::::: 2012-06-11 Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen <larsi@gnus.org> * gnus.texi (POP before SMTP): POP-before-SMTP works with all sending methods, so don't mention smtpmail here. 2012-05-04 Wolfgang Jenkner <wjenkner@inode.at> * gnus.texi (Picons): Document gnus-picon-properties. 2012-06-10 Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen <larsi@gnus.org> * gnus.texi: Remove mention of compilation, as that's no longer supported. 2012-03-14 Christopher Schmidt <christopher@ch.ristopher.com> * gnus.texi (Archived Messages): Mention gnus-gcc-pre-body-encode-hook and gnus-gcc-post-body-encode-hook. 2012-02-16 Lars Ingebrigtsen <larsi@gnus.org> * gnus.texi (Various Summary Stuff): Remove mention of `gnus-propagate-marks'. 2012-02-15 Lars Ingebrigtsen <larsi@gnus.org> * gnus.texi: Remove mentions of nnml/nnfolder/nntp backend marks, which no longer exist. 2012-02-08 Katsumi Yamaoka <yamaoka@jpl.org> * gnus.texi (Archived Messages): Document gnus-gcc-self-resent-messages. 2012-02-06 Lars Ingebrigtsen <larsi@gnus.org> * message.texi (Mail Variables): Mention the optional user parameter for X-Message-SMTP-Method. 2012-02-02 Lars Ingebrigtsen <larsi@gnus.org> * gnus.texi (Posting Styles): Mention X-Message-SMTP-Method. * message.texi (Mail Variables): Document X-Message-SMTP-Method. 2012-01-31 Lars Ingebrigtsen <larsi@gnus.org> * gnus.texi (Key Index): Change encoding to utf-8. :::::::::::::::::: ::: lisp/gnus/ ::: :::::::::::::::::: 2012-06-26 Katsumi Yamaoka <yamaoka@jpl.org> * mm-decode.el: Add coding cookie for a soft hyphen that mm-shr uses. 2012-06-11 Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen <larsi@gnus.org> * gnus-art.el (gnus-article-read-summary-keys): Protect against the key being bound to a lambda form. 2012-05-04 Wolfgang Jenkner <wjenkner@inode.at> * gnus-picon.el (gnus-picon-properties): New defcustom.

(gnus-sync-read): Use mapc instead of mapcar. * mm-archive.el: Require mm-decode for some macros. (gnus-recursive-directory-files, mailcap-extension-to-mime): Silence the byte compiler. (mm-archive-decoders): New function that returns the value of the mm-archive-decoders variable. * mm-decode.el: Don't require mm-archive; autoload mm-archive functions instead. (mm-dissect-singlepart): Use the function mm-archive-decoders. * nnmail.el (mail-send-and-exit): Silence the byte compiler. 2012-03-12 Peter Munster <pmrb@free.fr> * gnus-demon.el (gnus-demon-timers): Now a plist (function -> timer). (gnus-demon-cancel): Ditto. (gnus-demon-run-callback): When function cannot be called due to low idleness, call it when idleness reaches the expected value, instead of waiting another timer period.

10* Installation changes 10* New features
11 11
12** Upgrading from previous (stable) version if you have used No Gnus. 12** If you have the "tnef" program installed, Gnus will display ms-tnef
13 files, aka "winmail.dat".

14If you have tried No Gnus (the unstable Gnus branch leading to this 15** Archives (like tar and zip files) will be automatically unpacked,

16this version. In particular, you will probably want to remove the
17`~/News/marks' directory (perhaps selectively), so that flags are read
18from your `~/.newsrc.eld' instead of from the stale marks file, where
19this release will store flags for nntp. See a later entry for more
20information about nntp marks. Note that downgrading isn't safe in
21general.
22 17
23** Incompatibility when switching from Emacs 23 to Emacs 22 In Emacs 23, 18** shr has a new command `z' that cycles through image sizes.
24Gnus uses Emacs' new internal coding system `utf-8-emacs' for saving
25articles drafts and `~/.newsrc.eld'. These files may not be read
26correctly in Emacs 22 and below. If you want to use Gnus across
27different Emacs versions, you may set `mm-auto-save-coding-system' to
28`emacs-mule'.
29 19
30** Lisp files are now installed in `.../site-lisp/gnus/' by default. It 20** `backtab' in the summary buffer now selects the previous link in
31defaulted to `.../site-lisp/' formerly. In addition to this, the new 21 the article buffer.
32installer issues a warning if other Gnus installations which will shadow
33the latest one are detected. You can then remove those shadows manually
34or remove them using `make remove-installed-shadows'.
35 22
36** The installation directory name is allowed to have spaces and/or tabs. 23** Using the "X-Message-SMTP-Method" header in Message buffers now
24 allows specifying how messages are to be sent. For example:
37 25
38 26 X-Message-SMTP-Method: smtp smtp.fsf.org 587
39* New packages and libraries within Gnus
40
41** Gnus includes the Emacs Lisp SASL library.
42
43This provides a clean API to SASL mechanisms from within Emacs. The
44user visible aspects of this, compared to the earlier situation, include
45support for DIGEST-MD5 and NTLM. *Note Emacs SASL: (sasl)Top.
46
47** ManageSieve connections uses the SASL library by default.
48
49The primary change this brings is support for DIGEST-MD5 and NTLM, when
50the server supports it.
51
52** Gnus includes a password cache mechanism in password-cache.el.
53
54It is enabled by default (see `password-cache'), with a short timeout of
5516 seconds (see `password-cache-expiry'). If PGG is used as the PGP
56back end, the PGP passphrase is managed by this mechanism. Passwords
57for ManageSieve connections are managed by this mechanism, after
58querying the user about whether to do so.
59
60** Using EasyPG with Gnus When EasyPG, is available, Gnus will use it
61instead of PGG. EasyPG is an Emacs user interface to GNU Privacy Guard.
62 *Note EasyPG Assistant user's manual: (epa)Top. EasyPG is included in
63Emacs 23 and available separately as well.
64
65
66* Changes in group mode
67
68** Old intermediate incoming mail files (`Incoming*') are deleted after a
69couple of days, not immediately. *Note Mail Source Customization::.
70(New in Gnus 5.10.10 / Emacs 22.2)
71
72
73
74* Changes in summary and article mode
75
76** Gnus now supports sticky article buffers. Those are article buffers
77that are not reused when you select another article. *Note Sticky
78Articles::.
79
80** Gnus can selectively display `text/html' articles with a WWW browser
81with `K H'. *Note MIME Commands::.
82
83** International host names (IDNA) can now be decoded inside article bodies
84using `W i' (`gnus-summary-idna-message'). This requires that GNU Libidn
85(`http://www.gnu.org/software/libidn/') has been installed.
86
87** The non-ASCII group names handling has been much improved. The back
88ends that fully support non-ASCII group names are now `nntp', `nnml',
89and `nnrss'. Also the agent, the cache, and the marks features work
90with those back ends. *Note Non-ASCII Group Names::.
91 27
92** Gnus now displays DNS master files sent as text/dns using dns-mode. 28** Gnus keeps track of non-existent articles for nnimap groups, so
29 that sparse IMAP folders now list a correct number of messages in
30 them.
93 31
94** Gnus supports new limiting commands in the Summary buffer: `/ r' 32** Gnus will guess the real type of MIME parts of type
95(`gnus-summary-limit-to-replied') and `/ R' 33 application/octet-stream based on the file suffix. So an
96(`gnus-summary-limit-to-recipient'). *Note Limiting::. 34 application/octet-stream with a name of "rms.jpg" will be displayed
97 35 as an image/jpeg type by default, for instance.
98** You can now fetch all ticked articles from the server using `Y t'
99(`gnus-summary-insert-ticked-articles'). *Note Summary Generation
100Commands::.
101
102** Gnus supports a new sort command in the Summary buffer: `C-c C-s C-t'
103(`gnus-summary-sort-by-recipient'). *Note Summary Sorting::.
104
105** S/MIME now features LDAP user certificate searches. You need to
106configure the server in `smime-ldap-host-list'.
107
108** URLs inside OpenPGP headers are retrieved and imported to your PGP key
109ring when you click on them.
110
111** Picons can be displayed right from the textual address, see
112`gnus-picon-style'. *Note Picons::.
113
114** ANSI SGR control sequences can be transformed using `W A'.
115
116ANSI sequences are used in some Chinese hierarchies for highlighting
117articles (`gnus-article-treat-ansi-sequences').
118
119** Gnus now MIME decodes articles even when they lack "MIME-Version" header.
120This changes the default of `gnus-article-loose-mime'.
121
122** `gnus-decay-scores' can be a regexp matching score files. For example,
123set it to `\\.ADAPT\\'' and only adaptive score files will be decayed.
124 *Note Score Decays::.
125
126** Strings prefixing to the `To' and `Newsgroup' headers in summary lines
127when using `gnus-ignored-from-addresses' can be customized with
128`gnus-summary-to-prefix' and `gnus-summary-newsgroup-prefix'. *Note To
129From Newsgroups::.
130
131** You can replace MIME parts with external bodies. See
132`gnus-mime-replace-part' and `gnus-article-replace-part'. *Note MIME
133Commands::, *note Using MIME::.
134
135** The option `mm-fill-flowed' can be used to disable treatment of
136format=flowed messages. Also, flowed text is disabled when sending
137inline PGP signed messages. *Note Flowed text: (emacs-mime)Flowed text.
138(New in Gnus 5.10.7)
139
140** Now the new command `S W' (`gnus-article-wide-reply-with-original') for
141a wide reply in the article buffer yanks a text that is in the active
142region, if it is set, as well as the `R'
143(`gnus-article-reply-with-original') command. Note that the `R' command
144in the article buffer no longer accepts a prefix argument, which was
145used to make it do a wide reply. *Note Article Keymap::.
146
147** The new command `C-h b' (`gnus-article-describe-bindings') used in the
148article buffer now shows not only the article commands but also the real
149summary commands that are accessible from the article buffer.
150
151
152
153* Changes in Message mode

155** Gnus now supports the "hashcash" client puzzle anti-spam mechanism. Use 37** `nnimap-inbox' can now be a list of mail box names.
156`(setq message-generate-hashcash t)' to enable. *Note Hashcash::. 38
157
158** You can now drag and drop attachments to the Message buffer. See
159`mml-dnd-protocol-alist' and `mml-dnd-attach-options'. *Note MIME:
160(message)MIME.
161
162** The option `message-yank-empty-prefix' now controls how empty lines are
163prefixed in cited text. *Note Insertion Variables: (message)Insertion
164Variables.
165
166** Gnus uses narrowing to hide headers in Message buffers. The
167`References' header is hidden by default. To make all headers visible,
168use `(setq message-hidden-headers nil)'. *Note Message Headers:
169(message)Message Headers.
170
171** You can highlight different levels of citations like in the article
172buffer. See `gnus-message-highlight-citation'.
173
174** `auto-fill-mode' is enabled by default in Message mode. See
175`message-fill-column'. *Note Message Headers: (message)Various Message
176Variables.
177
178** You can now store signature files in a special directory named
179`message-signature-directory'.
180
181** The option `message-citation-line-format' controls the format of the
182"Whomever writes:" line. You need to set
183`message-citation-line-function' to
184`message-insert-formatted-citation-line' as well.
185
186
187* Changes in back ends
188
189** The nntp back end stores article marks in `~/News/marks'.
190
191The directory can be changed using the (customizable) variable
192`nntp-marks-directory', and marks can be disabled using the (back end)
193variable `nntp-marks-is-evil'. The advantage of this is that you can
194copy `~/News/marks' (using rsync, scp or whatever) to another Gnus
195installation, and it will realize what articles you have read and
196marked. The data in `~/News/marks' has priority over the same data in
197`~/.newsrc.eld'.
198
199** You can import and export your RSS subscriptions from OPML files. *Note
200RSS::.
201
202** IMAP identity (RFC 2971) is supported.
203
204By default, Gnus does not send any information about itself, but you can
205customize it using the variable `nnimap-id'.
206
207** The `nnrss' back end now supports multilingual text. Non-ASCII group
208names for the `nnrss' groups are also supported. *Note RSS::.
209
210** Retrieving mail with POP3 is supported over SSL/TLS and with StartTLS.
211
212** The nnml back end allows other compression programs beside `gzip' for
213compressed message files. *Note Mail Spool::.
214
215** The nnml back end supports group compaction.
216
217This feature, accessible via the functions `gnus-group-compact-group'
218(`G z' in the group buffer) and `gnus-server-compact-server' (`z' in the
219server buffer) renumbers all articles in a group, starting from 1 and
220removing gaps. As a consequence, you get a correct total article count
221(until messages are deleted again).
222
223
224
225* Appearance
226
227** The tool bar has been updated to use GNOME icons. You can also
228customize the tool bars: `M-x customize-apropos RET -tool-bar$' should
229get you started. (Only for Emacs, not in XEmacs.)
230
231** The tool bar icons are now (de)activated correctly in the group buffer,
232see the variable `gnus-group-update-tool-bar'. Its default value
233depends on your Emacs version.
234
235** You can change the location of XEmacs' toolbars in Gnus buffers. See
236`gnus-use-toolbar' and `message-use-toolbar'.
237
238
239
240* Miscellaneous changes
241
242** Having edited the select-method for the foreign server in the server
243buffer is immediately reflected to the subscription of the groups which
244use the server in question. For instance, if you change
245`nntp-via-address' into `bar.example.com' from `foo.example.com', Gnus
246will connect to the news host by way of the intermediate host
247`bar.example.com' from next time.
248
249** The `all.SCORE' file can be edited from the group buffer using `W e'.
250
251** You can set `gnus-mark-copied-or-moved-articles-as-expirable' to a
252non-`nil' value so that articles that have been read may be marked as
253expirable automatically when copying or moving them to a group that has
254auto-expire turned on. The default is `nil' and copying and moving of
255articles behave as before; i.e., the expirable marks will be unchanged
256except that the marks will be removed when copying or moving articles to
257a group that has not turned auto-expire on. *Note Expiring Mail::.
