Hello,
I can connect to my news groups using emacs-26.3, no problem, but not
with emacs-27 (or emacs-28). Has something changed?
The relevant (I think!) portion of my ~/.gnus.el is
(setq gnus-select-method
'(nntp "news.gmane.io"))
Emacs-26.3 accepts this, but emacs-27 gives the error:
Opening nntp server on news...failed: >>> (error news/nntp No address
associated with hostname)
Best wishes,
Colin

I was launching emacs-27 via the "-q" option and then loading settings
via an elisp config file (don't ask me why!). It seems that emacs-27 had
no way of knowing it had to use ~/.gnus.el when receiving a M-x gnus <RET>
instruction. The solution is therefore to either
M-x load-library <RET> ~/.gnus.el <RET>
prior to launching gnus, or to put
(load-library "~/.gnus.el")
in the original elisp config file.
I hadn't realised before that the "-q" switch is such a killer!
Best wishes,
Colin Baxter
