These count as bug fixes, IMHO.  Or was there something user visible
in the summary buffer generation that changed that isn't already
covered?

** Smileys (":-)", ";-)" etc) are now iconized for Emacs too.

Put (setq gnus-treat-display-smileys nil) in ~/.emacs to disable it.

> Sender header now not generated by default (AFAIK)

** Gnus no longer generate the Sender: header automatically.

Earlier it was generated iff the user configurable email address was
different from the Gnus guessed default user address.  As the guessing
algorithm is rarely correct these days, and (more controversally) the
only use of the Sender: header was to check if you are entitled to
cancel/supersede news (which is now solved by Cancel Locks instead,
see another entry), generation of the header has been disabled by
default.  See the variables `message-required-headers',
`message-required-news-headers', and `message-required-mail-headers'.

** Features from third party message-utils.el added to message.el.

Message now asks if you wish to remove "(was: <old subject>)" from
subject lines (see `message-subject-trailing-was-query').  C-c M-m and
C-c M-f inserts markers indicating included text.  C-c C-f a adds a
X-No-Archive: header.  Improved crosspost follow behaviour with
`message-cross-post-*'.
