No Gnus is the name of the development version of Gnus, currently (and for quite some time). There is a section in the manual outlining this: * 10.2.1 Gnus Versions - http://gnus.org/manual/gnus_349.html#SEC352 And wikipedia has more (including info on 5.11 and 5.13): * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnus#Versions Development versions and stable versions are numbered independently. It sounds like you are expecting the numbers to somehow correlate, which may be contributing to the confusion. > 1. gnus-version tells me I have 5.13. Is that the most recent stable > release (MRSR)?

The lastest is available in the development version which you can find on git.gnus.org - the almost as new version you can find in the GNU Emacs repository ("bzr Emacs") - it is sync'ed with git.gnus.org regularly, and the stable version you can find in the latest stable release of GNU Emacs and/or on gnus.org. Exactly as it says on http://gnus.org/distribution.html :-) Best regards, Adam -- "I'm always interested in avoiding learning new Adam Sjøgren things." asjo@koldfront.dk
