The first is an (I think) tin thingie -- you first pick the articles you want to read, and then you start reading. I've called it `gnus-pick-mode'. All it does is make process-mark commands become one-key commands, so you have `t' to mark a thread, `r' to mark a region and `SPC' to mark a single article. Then you press `RET', the summary buffer disappears (after being limited to the articles you've chosen) and you do all reading from the article buffer. The other is a minor mode for binary groups -- `gnus-binary-mode'. All article selection commands (except `g') uudecode-and-view instead of selecting articles the normal way. So you just type `n' instead of `X u', `n', `RET' to decode. I was wondering whether I should add a minor mode the people can use in mail groups... but I'm not sure. In fact, I'm not sure whether adding minor modes to the summary buffers is a good idea at all. Isn't changing keymaps around on the user a bit naughty? Even if the user has requested it by switching the minor mode on? Let's see... while I'm at it, I can summarize some of the other new thingies: nnml now accepts .gz files (and friends). A `0' prefix to `C-c C-c' in a *post-news* buffer will prompt the user for a post method from the aviable select methods. nnmail mail duplication has been changed to warn the user about duplicated mail, if wanted. nnvirtual allows caching articles, and you can now have auto-expirable component groups. And posting/mailing in virtual groups now works ok. In fact, nnvirtual has been totally rewritten, and is now much slower. :-) But articles from all component groups are now intermingled instead of (as it was before) first listing articles from component group a, then component group b, etc. You can execute actions based on the nntp server type you connect to. There's a new command for topicsifying all active groups. You can gather loose threads by looking at articles that share common Message-IDs in the References header. `frame' now works in `gnus-buffer-configuration'. File name translation (":" -> "_") now works everywhere. `gnus-article-hide-boring-headers' -- new function. nndoc understands ClariNet briefs. And stuff. -- Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen * larsi@ifi.uio.no (a red leaf that falls from the purple tree)
