If you download individual files, the following files should be downloaded together because their modifications are cross-dependent. gnus-agent.el, gnus-art.el, gnus-cus.el, gnus-int.el Also, gnus-start.el is dependent on a change in gnus-util.el. The new features are: * Agent parameters are now merged with group/topic parameters. This means that you can customize agent behavior at the individual group level. * Agent categories (which are still supported) now have a customization buffer. The 'e' command in the category buffer will display it. * The precidence rule for parameters is in decending order: group parameter, topic parameter, category parameter, defined constant. * A new agent parameter has been added. It enables/disables agent expiration per individual group. * The gnus-agent-cache feature, which did not appear to function per the documentation, has been re-implemented. When gnus-agent-cache is cleared (i.e. nil), the plugged agent will always fetch from the server. * You can now configure gnus to write .newsrc.eld directly to disk. It is considerably slower than saving a temporary buffer but can prevent memory exhaustion errors. Kevin
