gnus: Pterodactyl Gnus

 
 11.2.8.5 Pterodactyl Gnus
 .........................
 
 New features in Gnus 5.8:
 
    • The mail-fetching functions have changed.  See the manual for the
      many details.  In particular, all procmail fetching variables are
      gone.
 
      If you used procmail like in
 
           (setq nnmail-use-procmail t)
           (setq nnmail-spool-file 'procmail)
           (setq nnmail-procmail-directory "~/mail/incoming/")
           (setq nnmail-procmail-suffix "\\.in")
 
      this now has changed to
 
           (setq mail-sources
                 '((directory :path "~/mail/incoming/"
                              :suffix ".in")))
 
      SeeMail Source Specifiers.
 
    • Gnus is now a MIME-capable reader.  This affects many parts of
      Gnus, and adds a slew of new commands.  See the manual for details.
 
    • Gnus has also been multilingualized.  This also affects too many
      parts of Gnus to summarize here, and adds many new variables.
 
    • ‘gnus-auto-select-first’ can now be a function to be called to
      position point.
 
    • The user can now decide which extra headers should be included in
      summary buffers and NOV files.
 
    • ‘gnus-article-display-hook’ has been removed.  Instead, a number of
      variables starting with ‘gnus-treat-’ have been added.
 
    • The Gnus posting styles have been redone again and now works in a
      subtly different manner.
 
    • New web-based back ends have been added: ‘nnslashdot’, ‘nnwarchive’
      and ‘nnultimate’.  nnweb has been revamped, again, to keep up with
      ever-changing layouts.
 
    • Gnus can now read IMAP mail via ‘nnimap’.
