We are pleased to announce the availability of a new Gnus development
release: No Gnus v0.8.

Get it from <URL:http://quimby.gnus.org/gnus/dist/ngnus-0.8.tar.gz>
or "/[email protected]:/pub/gnus/".  The patch is available as
<URL:ftp://quimby.gnus.org/pub/gnus/ding-patches/ngnus-0.6-0.8.diff.gz>.

No Gnus 0.8 is now licensed under the GNU GPL version 3 (or later).

User visible changes since No Gnus v0.6:

* Installation changes

** The installation directory name is allowed to have spaces and/or tabs.

* New packages and libraries within Gnus

** Using EasyPG with Gnus When EasyPG, is available, Gnus will use it
instead of PGG.  EasyPG is an Emacs user interface to GNU Privacy Guard.
 *Note EasyPG Assistant user's manual: (epa)Top.  EasyPG is included in
Emacs 23 and available separately as well.

* Changes in group mode

** Old intermediate incoming mail files (`Incoming*') are deleted after a
couple of days.

* Changes in summary and article mode

** Gnus now supports sticky article buffers.  Those are article buffers
that are not reused when you select another article.  *Note Sticky
Articles::.

** Gnus can selectively display `text/html' articles with a WWW browser
with `K H'.

** The non-ASCII group names handling has been much improved.  The back
ends that fully support non-ASCII group names are now `nntp', `nnml',
and `nnrss'.  Also the agent, the cache, and the marks features work
with those back ends.

** Now the new command `S W' (`gnus-article-wide-reply-with-original') for
a wide reply in the article buffer yanks a text that is in the active
region, if it is set, as well as the `R'
(`gnus-article-reply-with-original') command.  Note that the `R' command
in the article buffer no longer accepts a prefix argument, which was
used to make it do a wide reply.

** The new command `C-h b' (`gnus-article-describe-bindings') used in the
article buffer now shows not only the article commands but also the real
summary commands that are accessible from the article buffer.
