September Gnus 0.58 is released

[Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen]

Major changes in the message-composing interface. 

All Gnus variables for message composition are now obsolete.  A new
package -- message.el -- is a combined news & mail composition mode.

There is no documentation yet, but there probably will be in the next
release. 

Get it from <URL:http://www.ifi.uio.no/~larsi/sgnus.tar.gz> or 
"ftp.ifi.uio.no:/pub/emacs/gnus/".

ChangeLog since last release:

Tue Mar 26 05:15:15 1996  Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen  <lars@eyesore.no>

	* gnus-cache.el (gnus-cache-retrieve-headers): Would bug out on

Expect major breakage in XEmacs.  I got only about half the files byte
compiled with no apparent error message, and attempting to recompile
``some'' gives a nasty message in one of the new files:
$ make some
xemacs -batch -q -no-site-file -l ./dgnushack.el -f dgnushack-recompile
Loading /usr/lib/xemacs/sgnus-0.58/lisp/dgnushack.el...
Loading gnus...
Loading mail-utils...
Loading timezone...
Loading nnheader...
Loading sendmail...
Loading message...
Loading mail-header...
Wrong type argument: listp, #<keymap 0 entries 0x49d>
XEmacs exiting.
make: *** [some] Error 255

Presumably this is due to incompatibility in XEmacs/Emacs mail modes.
Coming at the same time as the second consecutive uncompilable alpha
test Linux kernel is synchronicity I guess.  :-(
