I forgot to say what the major new things are since the last release.

* nnimap has been totally reimplemented.  It should work as before,
  mostly, but if you do server-side mail splitting, you may need to
  change your nnmail-split-methods variable into a nnimap-split-methods
  server parameter

* two new HTML renderers -- one based on w3m, if you're not using Emacs
  24, and one totally built-in called shr (Simple HTML Renderer), if
  you're using Emacs 24

* new auth methods -- the Secrets API is supported, and both nntp and
  nnimap use both ~/.authinfo and ~/.authinfo.gpg for credentials

* more encryption -- nnimap and nntp will use STARTTLS opportunistically
  if your Emacs 24 is compiled with gnutls support

* group activation has been completely rewritten, and data is read
  asynchronously and in parallel from all remote nntp and nnimap
  servers, which should speed up Gnus startup and the `g' command
  substantially 

I think those are the most major items, but I've probably forgotten a
lot.  It's been a million years since the last one!
