New @file{make.bat} for compiling and installing Gnus under MS Windows
Use @file{make.bat} if you want to install Gnus under MS Windows, the
first argument to the batch-program should be the directory where
@file{xemacs.exe} respectively @file{emacs.exe} is located, iff you want
to install Gnus after compiling it, give @file{make.bat} @code{/copy} as
the second parameter.
@file{make.bat} has been rewritten from scratch, it now features
automatic recognition of XEmacs and GNU Emacs, generates
@file{gnus-load.el}, checks if errors occur while compilation and
generation of info files and reports them at the end of the build
process. It now uses @code{makeinfo} if it is available and falls
back to @file{infohack.el} otherwise. @file{make.bat} should now
install all files which are necessary to run Gnus and be generally a
complete replacement for the @code{configure; make; make install}
cycle used under Unix systems.
The new @file{make.bat} makes @file{make-x.bat} and @file{xemacs.mak}
superfluous, so they have been removed.

Improved anti-spam features.
Gnus is now able to take out spam from your mail and news streams
using a wide variety of programs and filter rules. Among the supported
methods are RBL blocklists, bogofilter and white/blacklists. Hooks
for easy use of external packages such as SpamAssassin and Hashcash
are also new. @xref{Thwarting Email Spam}.

Retrieval of charters and control messages
There are new commands for fetching newsgroup charters (@kbd{H c}) and
control messages (@kbd{H C}).
@item
The new variable @code{gnus-parameters} can be used to set group parameters.
Earlier this was done only via @kbd{G p} (or @kbd{G c}), which stored
the parameters in @file{~/.newsrc.eld}, but via this variable you can
enjoy the powers of customize, and simplified backups since you set the
variable in @file{~/.gnus.el} instead of @file{~/.newsrc.eld}. The
variable maps regular expressions matching group names to group
parameters, a'la:
@lisp
(setq gnus-parameters

(gnus-use-scoring nil))
("^nnimap:\\(foo.bar\\)$"
(to-group . "\\1"))))
@end lisp
@item
Unread count correct in nnimap groups.
The estimated number of unread articles in the group buffer should now
be correct for nnimap groups. This is achieved by calling
@code{nnimap-fixup-unread-after-getting-new-news} from the
@code{gnus-setup-news-hook} (called on startup) and
@code{gnus-after-getting-new-news-hook}. (called after getting new
mail). If you have modified those variables from the default, you may
want to add @code{nnimap-fixup-unread-after-getting-new-news} again. If
you were happy with the estimate and want to save some (minimal) time
when getting new mail, remove the function.
@item
Group names are treated as UTF-8 by default.
This is supposedly what USEFOR wanted to migrate to. See

@code{gnus-group-charset-alist} and
@code{gnus-group-ignored-charsets-alist}.
The regexps in these variables are compared with full group names
instead of real group names in 5.8. Users who customize these
variables should change those regexps accordingly. For example:

Extended format specs.
@acronym{MML} (Mime compose) prefix changed from @kbd{M-m} to @kbd{C-c
C-m}.
Format spec @samp{%&user-date;} is added into
@code{gnus-summary-line-format-alist}. Also, user defined extended
format specs are supported. The extended format specs look like
@samp{%u&foo;}, which invokes function
@code{gnus-user-format-function-@var{foo}}. Because @samp{&} is used as the
escape character, old user defined format @samp{%u&} is no longer supported.
This change was made to avoid conflict with the standard binding of
@code{back-to-indentation}, which is also useful in message mode.
@item
@kbd{/ *} (@code{gnus-summary-limit-include-cached}) is rewritten.
The default for @code{message-forward-show-mml} changed to the symbol
@code{best}.
It was aliased to @kbd{Y c}
(@code{gnus-summary-insert-cached-articles}). The new function filters
out other articles.
The behavior for the @code{best} value is to show @acronym{MML} (i.e.,
convert to @acronym{MIME}) when appropriate. @acronym{MML} will not be
used when forwarding signed or encrypted messages, as the conversion
invalidate the digital signature.
@item
Some limiting commands accept a @kbd{C-u} prefix to negate the match.
If @kbd{C-u} is used on subject, author or extra headers, i.e., @kbd{/
s}, @kbd{/ a}, and @kbd{/ x}
(@code{gnus-summary-limit-to-@{subject,author,extra@}}) respectively, the
result will be to display all articles that do not match the expression.
If @code{auto-compression-mode} is enabled, attachments are automatically
decompressed when activated.
@c FIXME: Does this affect article or message mode?
@item
Group names are treated as UTF-8 by default.
Support for non-@acronym{ASCII} domain names
This is supposedly what USEFOR wanted to migrate to. See
@code{gnus-group-name-charset-group-alist} and
@code{gnus-group-name-charset-method-alist} for customization.
Message supports non-@acronym{ASCII} domain names in From:, To: and
Cc: and will query you whether to perform encoding when you try to
send a message. The variable @code{message-use-idna} controls this.
Gnus will also decode non-@acronym{ASCII} domain names in From:, To:
and Cc: when you view a message. The variable @code{gnus-use-idna}
controls this.

The tool bars have been updated to use GNOME icons in Group, Summary and
Message mode. You can also customize the tool bars. This is a new
feature in Gnus 5.10.9. (Only for Emacs, not in XEmacs.)
The regexps in these variables are compared with full group names
instead of real group names in 5.8. Users who customize these
variables should change those regexps accordingly. For example:
@lisp
("^han\\>" euc-kr) -> ("\\(^\\|:\\)han\\>" euc-kr)
@end lisp
@item The tool bar icons are now (de)activated correctly
in the group buffer, see the variable @code{gnus-group-update-tool-bar}.

@item Miscellaneous changes
@c ************************
@itemize @bullet
@item
Gnus supports @acronym{PGP} (RFC 1991/2440), @acronym{PGP/MIME} (RFC
2015/3156) and @acronym{S/MIME} (RFC 2630-2633).
@code{gnus-agent}
It needs an external @acronym{S/MIME} and OpenPGP implementation, but no
additional Lisp libraries. This add several menu items to the
Attachments menu, and @kbd{C-c RET} key bindings, when composing
messages. This also obsoletes @code{gnus-article-hide-pgp-hook}.
The Gnus Agent has seen a major updated and is now enabled by default,
and all nntp and nnimap servers from @code{gnus-select-method} and
@code{gnus-secondary-select-method} are agentized by default. Earlier
only the server in @code{gnus-select-method} was agentized by the
default, and the agent was disabled by default. When the agent is
enabled, headers are now also retrieved from the Agent cache instead
of the back ends when possible. Earlier this only happened in the
unplugged state. You can enroll or remove servers with @kbd{J a} and
@kbd{J r} in the server buffer. Gnus will not download articles into
the Agent cache, unless you instruct it to do so, though, by using
@kbd{J u} or @kbd{J s} from the Group buffer. You revert to the old
behavior of having the Agent disabled with @code{(setq gnus-agent
nil)}. Note that putting @code{(gnus-agentize)} in @file{~/.gnus.el}
is not needed any more.
@item
Gnus inlines external parts (message/external).
Gnus reads the @acronym{NOV} and articles in the Agent if plugged.
If one reads an article while plugged, and the article already exists
in the Agent, it won't get downloaded once more. @code{(setq
gnus-agent-cache nil)} reverts to the old behavior.
@item
@acronym{MML} (Mime compose) prefix changed from @kbd{M-m} to @kbd{C-c
C-m}.
Dired integration
This change was made to avoid conflict with the standard binding of
@code{back-to-indentation}, which is also useful in message mode.
@code{gnus-dired-minor-mode} (see @ref{Other modes}) installs key
bindings in dired buffers to send a file as an attachment, open a file
using the appropriate mailcap entry, and print a file using the mailcap
entry.
@item
The default for @code{message-forward-show-mml} changed to symbol @code{best}.
The format spec @code{%C} for positioning point has changed to @code{%*}.

The behavior for the @code{best} value is to show @acronym{MML} (i.e.,

If your Emacs supports drag and drop, you can also drop the file in the
Message buffer. The variable @code{mml-dnd-protocol-alist} specifies
what kind of action is done when you drop a file into the Message
buffer. The variable @code{mml-dnd-attach-options} controls which
@acronym{MIME} options you want to specify when dropping a file. If it
is a list, valid members are @code{type}, @code{description} and

whether or not to specify options.
