Quassia Gnus v0.1 is released

[Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen]

Not an imaginary tale; not a dream; but a script test.  So there's not
actually much point in fetching this one.  The real release should
come tomorrow.

Get it from <URL:http://www.gnus.org/qgnus.tar.gz> or 
"ftp.gnus.org:/pub/emacs/gnus/".  The patch is available as
<URL:http://www.gnus.org/patches/qgnus-0.0-0.1.diff.gz>

I meant to ask this before; Is the off-line back-end going to be
multi-threaded?

Not initially.  But that's the plan.

Huh?  Emacs is not multi-threaded itself!

Yup.  Should be fixed for Quassia 0.2.

I know but I thought that there was a multi-threaded version of lisp
out there. Can't that be used for the Off-line parts or at the very
lest have Emacs spawn a shell and then call the OffGnus stuff from
that.

Nope.  But you can do quite a lot with process filters and timers.

Next question: how do we start playing with the off-line agent?

The documentation will be included with 0.3 or 0.4.  Later today.
