-* Installation changes
+* New features
 
-** Upgrading from previous (stable) version if you have used No Gnus.
+** If you have the "tnef" program installed, Gnus will display ms-tnef
+   files, aka "winmail.dat".
 
-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.
+** Archives (like tar and zip files) will be automatically unpacked,
+   and the files inside the packages will be displayed as MIME parts.
 
-** 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'.
+** shr has a new command `z' that cycles through image sizes.
 
-** 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'.
+** `backtab' in the summary buffer now selects the previous link in
+   the article buffer.
 
-** The installation directory name is allowed to have spaces and/or tabs.
+** Using the "X-Message-SMTP-Method" header in Message buffers now
+   allows specifying how messages are to be sent.  For example:
 
-
-* New packages and libraries within Gnus
-
-** Gnus includes the Emacs Lisp SASL library.
-
-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.
-
-** ManageSieve connections uses the SASL library by default.
-
-The primary change this brings is support for DIGEST-MD5 and NTLM, when
-the server supports it.
-
-** Gnus includes a password cache mechanism in password-cache.el.
-
-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.
-
-** 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.
-
-
-* Changes in group mode
-
-** 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 / Emacs 22.2)
-
-
-
-* Changes in summary and article mode
-
-** Gnus now supports sticky article buffers.  Those are article buffers
-that are not reused when you select another article.  *Note Sticky
-Articles::.
-
-** Gnus can selectively display `text/html' articles with a WWW browser
-with `K H'.  *Note MIME Commands::.
-
-** 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.
-
-** 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::.
+   X-Message-SMTP-Method: smtp smtp.fsf.org 587
 
-** Gnus now displays DNS master files sent as text/dns using dns-mode.
+** Gnus keeps track of non-existent articles for nnimap groups, so
+   that sparse IMAP folders now list a correct number of messages in
+   them.
 
-** 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 Generation
-Commands::.
-
-** 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 to
-configure the server in `smime-ldap-host-list'.
-
-** URLs inside OpenPGP headers are retrieved and imported to your PGP key
-ring 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 highlighting
-articles (`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 lines
-when using `gnus-ignored-from-addresses' can be customized with
-`gnus-summary-to-prefix' and `gnus-summary-newsgroup-prefix'.  *Note To
-From Newsgroups::.
-
-** You can replace MIME parts with external bodies.  See
-`gnus-mime-replace-part' and `gnus-article-replace-part'.  *Note MIME
-Commands::, *note Using MIME::.
-
-** 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)
-
-** 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::.
-
-** 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.
-
-
-
-* Changes in Message mode
+** Gnus will guess the real type of MIME parts of type
+   application/octet-stream based on the file suffix.  So an
+   application/octet-stream with a name of "rms.jpg" will be displayed
+   as an image/jpeg type by default, for instance.
 
-** 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 are
-prefixed in cited text.  *Note Insertion Variables: (message)Insertion
-Variables.
-
-** 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 article
-buffer.  See `gnus-message-highlight-citation'.
-
-** `auto-fill-mode' is enabled by default in Message mode.  See
-`message-fill-column'.  *Note Message Headers: (message)Various Message
-Variables.
-
-** 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 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'.
-
-** You can import and export your RSS subscriptions from OPML files.  *Note
-RSS::.
-
-** IMAP identity (RFC 2971) is supported.
-
-By default, Gnus does not send any information about itself, but you can
-customize it using the variable `nnimap-id'.
-
-** The `nnrss' back end now supports multilingual text.  Non-ASCII group
-names 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' for
-compressed 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 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).
-
-
-
-* Appearance
-
-** 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.)
-
-** 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.
-
-** 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 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 `all.SCORE' file can be edited from the group buffer using `W e'.
-
-** 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::.
-
-
-
+** `nnimap-inbox' can now be a list of mail box names.
+
