Hello,

Is there an official minimum emacs version required for ognus?  As of
cancel-locks being added, my 20.3.1 seems not good enough:

While compiling the end of the data in file [...]/emacs/ognus/lisp/canlock.el:
  ** the function base64-encode-string is not known to be defined.

So I can't send news...  Short of persuading the sysadmin to upgrade
emacs, which I know he'd put at the bottom of a large pile of jobs, am
I restricted to older gnusę?

yours,
Paul Stevenson
