The manual has a node called Gnus Versions, that perhaps clears up things slightly: ,---- | 10.2.1 Gnus Versions | -------------------- | | The first "proper" release of Gnus 5 was done in November 1995 when it | was included in the Emacs 19.30 distribution (132 (ding) Gnus releases | plus 15 Gnus 5.0 releases). | | In May 1996 the next Gnus generation (aka. "September Gnus" (after 99 | releases)) was released under the name "Gnus 5.2" (40 releases). | | On July 28th 1996 work on Red Gnus was begun, and it was released on | January 25th 1997 (after 84 releases) as "Gnus 5.4" (67 releases). | | On September 13th 1997, Quassia Gnus was started and lasted 37 | releases. It was released as "Gnus 5.6" on March 8th 1998 (46 | releases). | | Gnus 5.6 begat Pterodactyl Gnus on August 29th 1998 and was released | as "Gnus 5.8" (after 99 releases and a CVS repository) on December 3rd | 1999. | | On the 26th of October 2000, Oort Gnus was begun and was released as | Gnus 5.10 on May 1st 2003 (24 releases). | | On the January 4th 2004, No Gnus was begun. | | If you happen upon a version of Gnus that has a prefixed name - | "(ding) Gnus", "September Gnus", "Red Gnus", "Quassia Gnus", | "Pterodactyl Gnus", "Oort Gnus", "No Gnus" - don't panic. Don't let it | know that you're frightened. Back away. Slowly. Whatever you do, | don't run. Walk away, calmly, until you're out of its reach. Find a | proper released version of Gnus and snuggle up to that instead. | `---- Best regards, -- "Anyone for cricket?" Adam Sjøgren asjo@koldfront.dk
