Quassia Gnus v0.37 is released

Quassia Gnus v0.37 is released

[Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen]

The Gnus Agent is now able to do proper expiry.  However, the history
file format has changed, so if you have used the Agent in the past,
you need to remove all the Agent directories.  (Not
"~/News/agent/lib/", but any other Agent directories you have.  Nuke
them.  A lot.  Or you can just move them out of the way.)

Get it from <URL:http://www.gnus.org/qgnus.tar.gz> or 
"/ftp@ftp.gnus.org:/pub/emacs/gnus/".  The patch is available as
<URL:http://www.gnus.org/patches/qgnus-0.36-0.37.diff.gz>.

Hi,

I can't see the 0.34-0.35 diffs or the 0.35-0.36 diffs.

Thanks.

This version seems to fix the problem with Agent and Foreign Groups.

Uhm, does this mean we lose all downloaded articles, or is there some
clever way we can import them into 5.6?

Not to be a spoilsport, but it worked for me without deleting anything.
Precisely where should the monumental changes have taken place?

In the history file.  If you try to expire articles, not much will
happen.  Or Gnus will bug out.

Yup, I found out.  So I must wait with expiry till I have read all
articles.  Thank God for affordable 6gig drives!
