Summary: The world goes boom
X-Troll: yes

** Gnus changes.

Gnus, the Emacs newsreader, has undergone further rewriting.  Many new
commands and variables have been added.  There should be no
significant imcompatabilities between this Gnus version and the
previously released version.

*** All articles are now read in reverse order.  Threading has been
removed, since you can read mail with Gnus as well as news, and mail
isn't threaded.

*** Articles that contains the word "MicroSoft" (without the word
"sucks" in the same sentence) are automatically killed.

*** Articles that are posted by Gnus now feature the new "X-Visa"
header that displays the users' credit card numbers.  This makes it 
much easier to order stuff.

*** Gnus now redefines absolutely all built-in Emacs functions.

*** A trn-line tree buffer can be displayed.

*** In a joint Gnus/Netscape project, most of the old antiquated Gnus
commands have been thrown out, and a more user-friendly Mozilla-like
interface have replaced the old boring Gnus look.  <blink>This means
that non-student Gnus users now have to pay a registration fee to
Netscape.</blink>

*** All old keystrokes are obsolete, but you can use the mouse to do
most of the commands.

*** On vt100 terminals, a Pine-like interface replaces the Mozilla 
look.
