Have a look at the FAQ I just wrote and see at how many places there's a "If you use Oort do X, if you use 5.8.8, you lose" and I didn't even mention everywhere the easier or better solution for Oort. An other point: For me it becomes more difficult from day to day to help Newbies because you always have to look "is this new in Oort" and if it is invent the wheel a second time. If there is stuff which people want to include but which isn't written yet, put it in 5.10.1 or release a 5.10 now and a 6.0 in summer when the now existing features are tested and the new ones are written, but hell please, please sugar please release now and not in six month as I'm sure that this six month will become 12 in the end. Finally I don't really see why not to release no, it's just a say 3 week feature freeze where people look in the dark places if stuff still works, everything is documented and a posting to gnu.emacs.gnus if everything is done. So, make me a pleasure for sitting two weeks over the new FAQ and give me the possibility to delete |This version is very stable and should be the choice for all |beginners.

I tried to add them. Here is the current NEWS file for Oort -- is it really complete? * Changes in Oort Gnus ** Improved anti-speam features. ** Easy inclusion of X-Faces headers. ** In the summary buffer, the new command / N inserts new messages and / o inserts old messages. ** Gnus decodes morse encoded messages if you press W m. ** Unread count correct in nnimap groups. The estimated number of unread articles in the group buffer should now be correct for nnimap groups. This is achieved by calling `nnimap-fixup-unread-after-getting-new-news' from the `gnus-setup-news-hook' (called on startup) and gnus-after-getting-new-news-hook. (called after getting new mail). If you have modified those variables from the default, you may want to add n-f-u-a-g-n-n again. If you were happy with the estimate and want to save some (minimal) time when getting new mail, remove the function. ** Group Carbon Copy (GCC) quoting To support groups that contains SPC and other weird characters, groups are quoted before they are placed in the Gcc: header. This means variables such as `gnus-message-archive-group' should no longer contain quote characters to make groups containing SPC work. Also, if you are using the string "nnml:foo, nnml:bar" (indicating Gcc into two groups) you must change it to return the list ("nnml:foo" "nnml:bar"), otherwise the Gcc: line will be quoted incorrectly. Note that returning the string "nnml:foo, nnml:bar" was incorrect earlier, it just didn't generate any problems since it was inserted directly. ** ~/News/overview/ not used. As a result of the following change, the ~/News/overview/ directory is not used any more. You can safely delete the entire hierarchy. ** gnus-agent The Gnus Agent has seen a major updated and is now enabled by default, and all nntp and nnimap servers from gnus-select-method and gnus-secondary-select-method are agentized by default. Earlier only the server in gnus-select-method was agentized by the default, and the agent was disabled by default. When the agent is enabled, headers are now also retrieved from the Agent cache instead of the backends when possible. Earlier this only happened in the unplugged state. You can enroll or remove servers with `J a' and `J r' in the server buffer. Gnus will not download articles into the Agent cache, unless you instruct it to do so, though, by using `J u' or `J s' from the Group buffer. You revert to the old behaviour of having the Agent disabled with `(setq gnus-agent nil)'. Note that putting (gnus-agentize) in ~/.gnus is not needed any more. ** gnus-summary-line-format The default value changed to "%U%R%z%I%(%[%4L: %-23,23f%]%) %s\n". Moreover gnus-extra-headers, nnmail-extra-headers and gnus-ignored-from-addresses changed their default so that the users name will be replaced by the recipient's name or the group name posting to for NNTP groups. ** deuglify.el (gnus-article-outlook-deuglify-article) A new file from Raymond Scholz <rscholz@zonix.de> for deuglifying broken Outlook (Express) articles. ** (require 'gnus-load) If you use a stand-alone Gnus distribution, you'd better add (require 'gnus-load) into your ~/.emacs after adding the Gnus lisp directory into load-path. File gnus-load.el contains autoload commands, functions and variables, some of which may not be included in distributions of Emacsen. ** gnus-slave-unplugged A new command which starts gnus offline in slave mode. ** message-insinuate-rmail Adding (message-insinuate-rmail) and (setq mail-user-agent 'gnus-user-agent) in .emacs convinces RMAIL to compose, reply and forward messages in message-mode, where you can enjoy the power of MML. ** message-minibuffer-local-map The line below enables BBDB in resending a message: (define-key message-minibuffer-local-map [(tab)] 'bbdb-complete-name) ** Externalize attachments. If gnus-gcc-externalize-attachments (or message-fcc-externalize-attachments) is non-nil, attach local files as external parts. Command gnus-mime-save-part-and-strip (bound to \C-o on MIME buttons) saves a part and replaces the part with an external one. It works only on back ends that support editing. ** gnus-default-charset The default value is determined from the current-language-environment variable, instead of 'iso-8859-1. Also the ".*" item in gnus-group-charset-alist is removed. ** gnus-posting-styles Add a new format of match like ((header "to" "larsi.*org") (Organization "Somewhere, Inc.")) The old format like the lines below is obsolete. (header "to" "larsi.*org" (Organization "Somewhere, Inc.")) ** message-ignored-news-headers and message-ignored-mail-headers X-Draft-From and X-Gnus-Agent-Meta-Information have been added into these two variables. If you customized those, perhaps you need add those two headers too. ** Gnus reads the NOV and articles in the Agent if plugged. If one reads an article while plugged, and the article already exists in the Agent, it won't get downloaded once more. (setq gnus-agent-cache nil) reverts to the old behavior. ** Gnus supports the "format=flowed" (RFC 2646) parameter. On composing messages, it is enabled by `use-hard-newlines'. Decoding format=flowed was present but not documented in earlier versions. ** Gnus supports the generation of RFC 2298 Disposition Notification requests. This is invoked with the C-c M-n key binding from message mode. ** Gnus supports Maildir groups. Gnus includes a new backend nnmaildir.el. ** Printing capabilities are enhanced. Gnus supports Muttprint natively with O P from the Summary and Article buffers. Also, each individual MIME part can be printed using p on the MIME button. ** Message supports the Importance: (RFC 2156) header. In the message buffer, C-c C-f C-i or C-u cycles through the valid values. ** Gnus supports Cancel Locks in News. This means a header "Cancel-Lock" is inserted in news posting. It is used to determine if you wrote a article or not (for cancelling/superseding). The behaviour can be changed by customizing `message-insert-canlock'. ** Gnus supports server-side mail filtering using Sieve. Sieve rules can be added as Group Parameters for groups, and the complete Sieve script is generated using `D g' from the Group buffer, and then uploaded to the server using `C-c C-l' in the generated Sieve buffer. Search the online Gnus manual for "sieve", and see the new Sieve manual, for more information. ** Extended format specs. Format spec "%&user-date;" is added into gnus-summary-line-format-alist. Also, user defined extended format specs are supported. The extended format specs look like "%u&foo;", which invokes function gnus-user-format-function-foo. Because "&" is used as the escape character, old user defined format "%u&" is no longer supported. ** `/ *' (gnus-summary-limit-include-cached) is rewritten. It was aliased to `Y c' (gnus-summary-insert-cached-articles). The new function filters out other articles. ** Group names are treated as UTF-8 by default. This is supposedly what USEFOR wants to migrate to. See `gnus-group-name-charset-group-alist' and `gnus-group-name-charset-method-alist' for customization. ** The nnml and nnfolder backends store marks for each groups. This makes it possible to take backup of nnml/nnfolder servers/groups separately of .newsrc.eld, while preserving marks. It also makes it possible to share articles and marks between users (without sharing the .newsrc.eld file) within e.g. a department. It works by storing the marks stored in .newsrc.eld in a per-group file ".marks" (for nnml) and "groupname.mrk" (for nnfolder, named "groupname"). If the nnml/nnfolder is moved to another machine, Gnus will automatically use the .marks or .mrk file instead of the information in .newsrc.eld. The new server variables `nnml-marks-is-evil' and `nnfolder-marks-is-evil' can be used to disable this feature. ** The menu bar (in Group and Summary buffer) named "Misc" has been renamed to "Gnus". ** The menu bar (in Message mode) named "MML" has been renamed to "Attachments". ** gnus-group-charset-alist and gnus-group-ignored-charsets-alist. The regexps in these variables are compared with full group names instead of real group names in 5.8. Users who customize these variables should change those regexps accordingly. For example: ("^han\\>" euc-kr) -> ("\\(^\\|:\\)han\\>" euc-kr) ** Gnus supports PGP (RFC 1991/2440), PGP/MIME (RFC 2015/3156) and ** S/MIME (RFC 2630-2633). It needs an external S/MIME and OpenPGP implementation, but no additional lisp libraries. ** Gnus inlines external parts (message/external). ** MML (Mime compose) prefix changed from `M-m' to `C-c C-m'. This change was made to avoid conflict with the standard binding of `back-to-indentation', which is also useful in message mode. ** Bug fixes. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 49+ messages in thread

Yup. ** The new variable `gnus-parameters' can be used to set group parameters. Earlier this was done only via `G p' (or `G c'), which stored the parameters in ~/.newsrc.eld, but via this variable you can enjoy the powers of customize, and simplified backups since you set the variable in ~/.emacs instead of ~/.newsrc.eld. The variable maps regular expressions matching group names to group parameters, a'la: (setq gnus-parameters '(("mail\\..*" (gnus-show-threads nil) (gnus-use-scoring nil)) ("^nnimap:\\(foo.bar\\)$" (to-group . "\\1")))) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 49+ messages in thread

I agree. Here's another approach: Consolidate to only two menus in message-mode: "Headers" and "Message". "Headers" is like "Field" today and the items from "Attachments" are moved to two submenus of "Message": Attachments and Security. The "Security" submenu can be simplified by not having a separate item for each of the three different encryption/signing method. Instead the default method can be changed from a submenu with radio buttons. Something like this: Message Attachments Attach file Attach buffer Attach external Insert Part Insert Multipart Quote MML Validate MML Security Sign Encrypt Sign Part Encrypt Part Sign/Encrypt off Method [x] PGP/MIME [ ] PGP [ ] S/MIME Yank Original Fill Yanked Message Insert Signature .... etc. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 49+ messages in thread

I would have to agree. But is that the reason not to release now -- that new features need to be added? Oort seems to have, well, a few new features already.

If you mean spam.el, the newest stuff *needs* to be documented before 5.10 is released, because there's lots of new functionality and the old functionality is changed in a lot of places. On the other hand, I've been waiting for user feedback on my additions to the spam.el corpus, especially as far as confusing variable names or incorrectly implemented functionality, so I didn't want to start writing documentation that would be obsolete in a few days. Also, I would like to know if anyone is interested in integrating spam-stat.el with spam.el. spam-stat.el is basically an Elisp naive Bayesian filter. Currently it's separate from spam.el but it should be possible to integrate them given user interest. Let's set a date for the 5.10 release, and I'll set a date 10 days before that for a spam.el feature freeze. I should be able to revise the Spam section of the manual.
