The following is the contents of Changes.GNUS which is included in the latest release. Please read it carefully if you are going to upgrade GNUS from version 3.11. Happy GNUSing Masanobu UMEDA umerin@flab.Fujitsu.CO.JP umerin%flab.Fujitsu.JUNET@uunet.uu.NET ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes from GNUS Version 3.11 Masanobu UMEDA umerin@flab.Fujitsu.JUNET Mon Jun 19 13:19:46 JST 1989 * GNUS windows are configurable. In addition to conventional two window mode, yet another two window mode and three window mode are available by customizing the variable gnus-window-configuration. * gnus.el is split into three files: gnus.el, gnuspost.el, and gnusmisc.el Since gnus.el is smaller, startup will be faster. In addition, it may become easier to understand GNUS software. * kill/yank commands for newsgroups are available in Group Mode. It is possible to kill newsgroups from both Newsgroup buffer and .newsrc, and they can be yanked back afterwards. These commands can be used for reordering newsgroups in Group Mode. * mhspool.el can co-exist with nntp.el/nnspool.el You don't have to load nntp.el or nnspool.el after using mhspoo.el. * FCC: field can be used to save author copies. If gnus-author-copy (was gnus-author-copy-file) is non-nil, its value is inserted in FCC: field, and it is processed when posting news. Therefore, you can change the name of the file or disable copying when composing news. * New followup command (F) and reply command (R) are added in Subject Mode. They insert original message automatically just like `F' and `R' commands of rn. * New catch up commands which preserve marks are added. * The function gnus-kill skips any marked articles by default. The function gnus-expunge is also introduced (which is , in fact, the function gnus-Subject-delete-marked-with). * Article save name generator can be specified for each saver. The variable gnus-rmail-save-name, gnus-mail-save-name, gnus-folder-save-name, and gnus-file-save-name are for specifying default save name generator for each saver function. The variable gnus-article-save-name is obsoleted. * Non-full window mode is available. If gnus-use-full-window is nil, GNUS will not take up the entire screen of Emacs. * User level extension and customization become easier. For example, you can define a new variable which can be saved in .newsrc.el. * Some user variables and functions are renamed or deleted. ** Variables gnus-author-copy-file -> gnus-author-copy gnus-keep-subject-centered -> gnus-auto-center-subject gnus-article-default-saver -> gnus-default-article-saver gnus-article-save-name -> gnus-rmail-save-name gnus-mail-save-name gnus-folder-save-name gnus-file-save-name gnus-article-mh-folder -> (obsolete) gnus-subject-lines-height -> (obsolete) ** Functions gnus-Kill-file-apply -> gnus-apply-kill-file gnus-Kill-file-name -> gnus-newsgroup-kill-file gnus-article-save-name -> gnus-numeric-save-name gnus-Numeric-save-name gnus-plain-save-name gnus-Plain-save-name gnus-folder-save-name gnus-Folder-save-name * Internal variables and functions are renamed or deleted. If you customize GNUS using these, you may have to modify your program. * All compatibility variables and functions are removed.
