The Gnus NEWS entries are short, but they reflect sweeping changes in four areas: Article display treatment, MIME treatment, internationalization and mail-fetching. *** The mail-fetching functions have changed. See the manual for the many details. In particular, all procmail fetching variables are gone. *** Gnus is now a MIME-capable reader. This affects many parts of Gnus, and adds a slew of new commands. See the manual for details. *** Gnus has also been multilingualized. This also affects too many parts of Gnus to summarize here, and adds many new variables. *** gnus-auto-select-first can now be a function to be called to position point. *** The user can now decide which extra headers should be included in summary buffers and NOV files. *** `gnus-article-display-hook' has been removed. Instead, a number of variables starting with `gnus-treat-' have been added. *** The Gnus posting styles have been redone again and now works in a subtly different manner. *** New web-based backends have been added: nnslashdot, nnwarchive and nnultimate. nnweb has been revamped, again, to keep up with ever-changing layouts. *** Gnus can now read IMAP mail via nnimap. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) lmi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
